,рассказ про поездку в Одессу на английском языке

If you have a little free time and are willing to spend a certain amount, then you can enjoy wonderful excursions anywhere in your country or abroad.

I would like to tell you about my last trip to the charming city of Odessa. Our literature teacher suggested (la) us a few weeks ago to go on an excursion to this wonderful city. I was glad (a) not to miss this opportunity, because I always dreamed of such a trip. Our group was small - only ten students and a teacher.

We arrived there early in the morning, the weather was pleasant and warm. We left our luggage at the hotel, met with the guide and went for a walk around the city. Our guide, a middle-aged man, turned out to be a former history teacher and a very educated person, who told us a lot of facts about the history of Odessa. This city was founded in the fourteenth century on the shores of the Black Sea. There are two versions of the origin of the name of the city. According to one of them, the word "Odessa" was formed from the French word, which translates as "water". According to another version, the city is named after an ancient Greek colony that existed not far from the location of modern Odessa.

During our exciting two-day excursion, we visited the famous Opera and Ballet Theater, the Archaeological Museum, saw the statue of the Duke of Richelieu, climbed the Potemkin Staircase 142 meters long and, of course, visited the catacombs of Odessa. As for me, what impressed me most was the walk along the catacombs and the stories that the guide told about the heroic struggle of the inhabitants of the city against the German invaders during the Great Patriotic War. Unfortunately, during these two days, we did not have enough time to visit all the museums, and we did not enjoy swimming in the sea, because the weather was too cool for that. Two days flew by, and we had to get home. But for myself, I decided (la) that the next summer vacation I will spend directly in this wonderful city.
