- What Russian holidays do you want to tell me about? - I would like to tell you about a great Maslenitsa celebration in Russia. - When is it celebrated? - It is celebrated on last Sunday of March, when winter is losing its rights and spring comes. - Describe me this holiday, please. - On this day there are Russian great folk festivals with horses, getting a living rooster from the post, a lot of jokes, songs and dances. On the streets of cities, towns and villages different mummers walk, they offer everybody hot tea and Russian pancakes with different toppings: honey, jam, butter, eggs! - And what is the most thing about this holiday? - But most importantly is the effigy of winter that is burnt and everyone rejoices the beautiful spring coming. - Wow! It's so interesting! - You're welcome!
A:What are you up to the weekend? B:I'm going to swimming on Saturday morning. A:Have you got any plans for the afternoon? B:Yes, I have. I planned to go for a walk with friends. Maybe we could meet up in the evening? A: I can't, I'm afraid. I planned to go on rides. B:That's a shame. Do you fancy doing something on Sunday? A:Sure! We could go somewhere by bike? I'm really fond of travelling! B:Oh that's a good idea! Actually, I'm fond of climbing, don't you? A: Yes, I do. B:We could read something there. Are you fond of reading? A: Oh I really love reading. But we must to return to 10p.m. I need to go to bed early tonight. B: Okay, no problem. I'll call you. Goodbye A: Bye.
