There are a lot of boarding houses in beautiful places near Moscow. You can get a room there for a day, for a week, for a fortnight or for a month.

Last Saturday my friend and I decided to go to the Klazma boarding house. It was already 4 o'clock when we came there. It was getting dark. But many people were still skating and skiing. The buildings of the boarding house are modern. When we came in it was warm and cosy inside. Some people were playing chess or reading newspapers and magazines. We took our suit-cases to our room and went for a walk. The air was frosty outside. We had a nice walk in the forest and came back just in time for supper. An interesting film was on there that night and after supper we went to see it. The film was over at eleven o'clock. When we came into our room we listened to music on the radio. At half past eleven we went to bed.
