DVD script:
Antony: What are your plans for the holiday this year, Rustam?
Rustam: Well, Antony … I don’t know yet. Last year I went to Bildirsay. It’s
a beautiful place in the mountains. It’s 75 km from Tashkent. It’s a lovely place
for summer holidays.
Antony: I’ve heard a lot about wonderful places in Uzbekistan. In Great
Britain, we have very many gorgeous holiday places too. Have you ever been to
Brighton, Rustam? It’s to the south of London.
Rustam: I know that it’s a very popular place in the south of England. But
I’ve never been there.
Antony: It’s a super place where I like to spend my holidays. Last summer I
went there with my parents and a little sister.
Rustam: Antony, I know the climate in England is wet. Was the weather
good in Brighton?
Antony: Yes, it was dry and hot all the time. It was very nice to sunbathe and
swim in the warm sea.
Rustam: Did your sister enjoy that holiday too?
Antony: Yes, sure. We played on the beach and swam a lot. Brighton is not
far from London and it’s very easy to get there by train. Ask your parents to go
and see this place.
Rustam: Thank you! What a good idea!
