Sightseeing in Penza
This dialogue is a conversation between two girls, Olga and Lena. Olga lives in Penza and her friend Lena has come to Penza as a tourist. The girls discuss the city's sights. So, the conversation begins.
- Well, Lena, do you like Penza?
- I do, very much. And I'm very glad I decided to visit the town. I'm having a wonderful time here. Yesterday I went to the theatre and enjoyed myself immensely.
-Yes, the Penza Drama Theatre is one of the oldest in Russia. In 1993 it celebrated its 200th anniversary. Its repertoire includes some of the best creations of famous Russian and foreign dramatists.
-And even for a stranger it's quite easy to get there, as it is situated in the centre of the town in Moskovskaya Street.
-Well, Penza also has a puppet theatre and a children's theatre.
-And what about art galleries? I'd be very glad to visit one.I'm told that Penza's pride is the Savitsky Art Gallery.
-Yes, to my mind you ought to see it. The gallery was named after the painter and first director of the Penza Fine Arts School. It contains a priceless collection of paintings, engravings and sculptures by Russian and West European masters, as well as Russian icons.
-Then, I think I'll go to the Gallery. And how do I get there?
-It is situated in Sovetskaya Street; you might go there by the number eight bus. And if you're fond of arts you should go to the Museum of One Painting in Kirov Street. You'll really have the feeling that you're getting to know a single masterpiece.
-Great! And speaking about the tourist attractions of Penza, I should say that I was impressed by the Monument to the First Settler of Penza, which is situated in Kirov Street. I went to the monument the day before yesterday and from there I enjoyed a most beautiful view of the city. I think this monument is a visible link between the past and the present.
-I'm glad you liked it. And I think you should also take a walk along Pobeda Prospect, the city's main avenue, and have a look at the imposing monument, situated there.
-Oh, I've heard that it was erected there to honour the memory of the people who gave their lives in the struggle against fascism and those who worked on the home front. Well, and I haven’t decided yet where to go today. Will you advise me anything?
-Well, you may spend some time in Belinsky Park, and then if you have time and are not too tired, you'll be able to go down Marx Street to Soviet Square. You'll find yourself quite close to Moskovskaya Street, where the city's most popular stores, cafes and restaurants are located.
-I suppose it will be very interesting. And what about going to the Penza's Zoo?
-Well, it's not a bad idea. You could spend a couple of hours there comfortably, watching the wild animals, birds and reptiles.
-I'm sure it'll be very nice. And thank you very much for your story about Penza's places of interest. I'll visit some of them today and have a very good time.
-You certainly will.
