The Smirnovs’ Visit to SuzdalLast May the Smirnovs visited Suzdal — a small town not far from Moscow. The place is very nice with a lot of forests around it. The town is clean and cosy with few high buildings. The shops are not big and very few people work there. “Are there many cinemas here?” Yura asked. His father said there were some. This old town has got a lot of churches. When you walk in the streets of Suzdal, you have a feeling that every third building is a church. Some of them are wooden. The town has got a lot of beautiful wooden houses too. They say Suzdal is a living museum of Russian history. The Smirnovs liked their trip very much.
Today's society is very different than it was 40 years ago. Back in the days people were more friendly and kinder to each other. People helped each other , it was a normal case when my grandfathers neighbor was out of bread and my grandfather was not home and the neighbor came in to get a piece of bread for lunch. And no one would sue him for that , it was a normal and usual situation . But today , today I don't think I would let my neighbor do that , I would probably have called police and sue him for robbing me, and that is true no mater is he my neighbor or relativ person. People were thankful for having a big family , and that was a norm to be in close contact with relatives . And what do we have today ? Today we barely can meet all together for a reunion . So in my opinion we should value our relationships and frienships more than we do !
