Vitebsk is an Ancient Town
Mr. Adans, an American businessman, has come to Vitebsk on a business trip. He is looking for prospects of setting up a joint venture here. He decides to spend his afternoons seeing the sights of the town. Mr. Adams visits the Travel Agency where he meets Kate who works there as a guide during her summer holidays. They decide to start their sightseeing next afternoon.
Mr. Adams and Ann meet again and go on with their conversation about the history of Vitebsk.
Mr. Adams - So nice to see you again. I hope I haven’t kept you waiting.
Kate - No. We are both right on time.
Mr. Adams - What would you say if I asked you some more questions
about Vitebsk?
Kate - I am at your disposal.
Mr. Adams - Where does the word “Vitebsk” come from?
Mr. Adams - Vitebsk has taken its name from the river Vitba as it was
founded on the high banks of the Vitba where it flows into the
Dvina river.
Mr. Adams - I see. And when was your town founded?
Kate - More than a thousand years ago. According to old chronicles
Kiev princess Olga founded it in 947 or, according to other
data, in 974. The town lay on the ancient trade route from the
Varagians to the Greeks and that’s why it developed quickly.
Mr. Adams - Vitebsk is an ancient town, but it looks quite modern.
Kate - It really does. You see, so many wars swept through this land.
Vitebsk, in particular, was ruined and burnt to ashes 30 times.
It also suffered greatly during the Second World War. On the
day of its liberation from the Nazi invaders in 1944 only 118
residents remained in the town that was ruined almost
completely.
Mr. Adams - And still, are there any monuments of the past in Vitebsk?
Kate - Yes, there are some, but not many. In addition to the ravages
of the war, some parts of the town were reconstructed and
many old houses were pulled down. That’s why very few
places in Vitebsk remind us of its past. And if you like I shall
show them to you.
Mr. Adams - Oh, yes, thank you. I’d love to.
Ex. 4. Put questions to the words in italics minding the place of the
