- Well, if you are interested in churches and historical places you should
go to St. Basil’s Cathedral, the Kremlin with its towers and the Armory
Chamber and the Diamond Chamber. Do you like art?
- Rather!
- Then why not go to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts or the State
Tretyakov Gallery?
- What about going to the Zoo?
- That’s not a bad idea. You could spend a couple of hours there
comfortably, or even a whole afternoon, watching the wild animals and birds.
- I’ll do that then. How do I get there?
- Let me see. You’d better go by underground. I suppose it is three stops
from here.
- Is it much of a walk?
- Oh, no, half an hour or so, but if you are in a hurry, why not take a taxi?
- I think I will. Ah, here’s one coming. Taxi! The Zoo, please.
