Yesterday I was on a train trip to the village for the first time. It was very interesting to me! First we got into our car and after that the train started moving. Then I looked out the window for a very long time behind the trees, they were all very beautiful and different. After 2 hours we arrived in the village and there we were met by our grandmother. I would really like to repeat this trip!

Вчера я впервые ехал на поезде в деревню. Мне было очень интересно! Сначала мы сели в наш вагон, а потом поезд тронулся. Потом я очень долго смотрел в окно за деревьями, все они были очень красивыми и разными. Через 2 часа мы прибыли в деревню, и там нас встретила наша бабушка. Я бы очень хотел повторить эту поездку!
