The City of Omsk

Everyone ___ about the stunning sights to see in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The beautiful city of Omsk, one of the oldest cities in the western Siberia, ___ not so well-known. Unfortunately, the 2700 km journey from Moscow just ___ too far for many travelers to Russia. For those who ____ travel there, however, there are a number of interesting things to see and do. These ____ visiting Tobolskie and Tarskie Gates, which were the first stone buildings in Omsk, the Museum of Local Lore and the modern shops on Lyubinsky Avenue. When you ____ Krestovozdvizhensky Cathedral lit up in the moonlight, you ____why it’s worth making the effort to come here.

Few historians ____ with Omsk historical importance – it was even the capital of Russia for a short period at the beginning of the 20^th century. As travelling across Russia becomes easier, it ____ like Omsk may also have a bright future – as a popular destination for tourists.

e.g. When we were on holiday, weplayed volleyball every day.

     e.g. I had already been to France, which was great fun, and I knew I wanted

      to come back sometime again.

· Such phrases as: It was the first/second/etc. time are followed by the past perfect.
