4. Speaking
History is an important school subject because it helps us understand the world and learn from the mistakes of the past. It shows us how our society has developed and gives us a better idea of who we are. In my opinion, studying history also helps us respect different cultures and traditions.
I am most interested in the history of Ancient Rome. I enjoy reading about the Roman Empire, its military strategies and its influence on many countries. I would like to visit Rome and see the Colosseum, where gladiators fought in the past.
My favourite historical site in my country is Kizhi Pogost on Lake Onega in Karelia. It is famous for its beautiful wooden churches dating from the eighteenth century. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a very special place.

Dear Jake,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you had such a great weekend in Paris. I’d most like to visit Tokyo because I’m interested in Japanese culture and technology. It would be exciting to see the mixture of ancient traditions and modern life. I would rather go on a city break with my family because we always have fun together and can share unforgettable experiences. When visiting a city, the best activities are exploring historical sites, visiting museums and trying local food. I would also like to walk around the city centre and take lots of photos. Write back soon and tell me more about your trip to Paris.
Best wishes,
Nikita
