Pete, Nick and David are still at the restaurant. They are enjoying their meal and have a small talk.

Pete: David, is this your first visit to Moscow?

David: Oh, no. 1 was in Moscow last year. I like your city very much. It's a pity my sister is not with me now. She wanted to go so much.

Nick: And why didn't she join you? Is she busy?

David: Well, you see, she could not leave her office, her boss did not let her go. They are working at a very important proj­ect now. And have you got a sister or a brother, Nick?

Nick: Oh, yes. I have a brother. He is on holiday in the mountains.

Pete: Oh, really? My elder daughter is also in the mountains in Chechia now. She is fond of skiing and goes to the mountains every winter.

David: Have you got a big family?

Pete: I wouldn't say so. There are five of us. Two daughters, a son, my wife and I.

David: Quite an English family!
