It was a great day yesterday. My friends and I WENT to see a performance at the Bolshoi Theatre. You certainly know that the Bolshoi Theatre is the MOST FAMOUS theatre in Russia and probably in the world. But not everyone KNOWS the history of the Bolshoi Theatre. According to historical documents, it BEGAN in March 1776 when Prince Pyotr Urusov was granted Royal permission to build a public theatre in Moscow. Catherine II, Empress of Russia, was fond of arts. She DID NOT MIND having a new theatre in her country. The original building of the theatre had a hall with almost 1,000 seats, a stage and an orchestra pit. Directly over the stage there WERE boxes where the most noble fans of the theatre had their seats. The theatre has changed several times during ITS history. The building we can see today opened in 1825. It WAS DESIGNED by architect Andrei Mikhailov who was also the architect of the Maly Theatre. Since that time, the building has been rebuilt and renovated several times. Now it looks beautiful from the inside and outside. If I HAD the opportunity to go there more often, I would do it every week.
Tracey was very unhappy and scared. She was starting a new school. “I (don't want ) to go to school today,” Tracey told her father. NOT/WANT “I understand, Tracey,” he said. “Starting a new school can be very difficult. But you have to.” A month before (their) family had moved to a new town and everything was still new and strange for Tracey. THEY Dad smoothed Tracey’s hair down and (gave ) her a little hug, GIVE “When your classes (are ) over, I’ll pick you up, ok?” BE . When Tracey got to school and looked at the big building, she thought, “I wish I (could ) run away,” but she knew it was impossible. CAN She took a deep breath and walked up the steps to school. She went straight into her (fifth ) grade classroom. FIVE “That must be Tracey,” “Hello, Tracey!”, “Welcome, Tracey!” the (children ) in the room welcomed her. CHILD Everyone seemed friendly and Tracey felt a little (better ). GOOD The father picked her up after school. “How was your day?” he asked. To his surprise Tracey answered that she (liked ) her new school. “You are a brave girl,” her father said. “I’m proud of you.” LIKE
