Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second in a serious of books of short stories designed for intermediate students who study the Russian language. This book covers various topics of everyday life in modern Russia. It follows the life of a family residing in Moscow, and describes their activities, thus offering the readers vocabulary and grammar that can be used in multiple day-to-day situations. Each chapter in this book describes a particular common occasion, such as inviting and entertaining guests; home cooking (with a real recipe of a delicious chicken broth); shopping for gifts, souvenirs, and furniture; buying a new apartment and a car; visiting the zoo; visiting the countryside and much more. Many verbs of motion are used in this book, and the last two stories specifically focus on prefixed verbs of motion and have exercises that allow the readers to assess their knowledge and understanding of the verbs of motion. This is not a dual language book, because its grammar is relatively simple, but after each story there is a broad list of vocabulary with new words and expressions. The verbs in the stories are in the past, present and future tenses. Each story is followed by ten questions that encourage the readers to develop their conversational skills.
