model answer:
Traveling is a good way to find out more about different countries with 
different traditions and customs. Some travelers prefer to spend in one country 
just a few days or one day and then leave for another country. This way of 
traveling allows people to visit more countries in fewer days. Unfortunately, in 
this case such travelers have to hurry in order to visit more places.
I am from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. So, if a foreign visitor has only one day to 
spend in my country I think I would advice him to visit the "Hermitage" - the 
most well known and amazing museum in Russia. The "Hermitage" has 3 floors and 
more then 100 halls. It is really amazing to visit that place. Many people from 
all over the world every day enter its walls. Some of the rooms devoted to the 
history of other countries. Others devoted to the art of a famous painter and 
the history of his life. However, most of the halls conclude many things such as 
paintings, royal belongings, sculptures from Russian history.
Some people say that it is impossible to feel deeply and see all these amazing 
historical values for one visit. I have to completely agree with this statement. 
When I first visited the "Hermitage" I was 14 years old. It impressed me so much 
that I was back next day to see what I had not been able to see the day before.
The "Hermitage" is an impressive and beautiful museum. I think it is worth to 
spend there a whole day and I believe that after that a foreign visitor can 
claim with a proud that he or she saw Russia.(280 words)
