was Mr Carr. He was English but he spoke Russian
fluently because he (2) ... lived in Moscow.

teacher organised an exchange trip to Saint Petersburg. My
penfriend's name was Yura Granin. I had never met a real
Russian before! (4) ... a lot of Russian while I was staying
with his family, and I had a fantastic time there.
Now I'm (5) ... for my Russian GCSE at Newton
Comprehensive School in Birmingham. We usually have
three hours of Russian every week, including one hour of
speaking practice. 1 (6) ... learning a foreign language
because you can talk to people when you go abroad on
