Some years ago I was happy to take part in archaeological excavations in the Kerch Peninsula. We had to work early in the morning and in the evening while the sun wasn't boiling hot. I often tried to imagine those ancient times when dinosaurs were alive in these lands and one night I found myself among those monstrers. All dinosaurs seemed to be similar, but a number of them were significantly different in appearance. They were brachiosaurus ( long-armed lizards ). They are considered the largest giant lizards. They weight about 80 tons or more. They exactly can't be confused with other dinosaurs. They were very tall and stood on their hind and front legs. Scientists can not reliably determine what dinosaurs ate . Because they never found the remains of the stomach contents. I hoped I would be lucky to examine it here and I began watching them when suddenly I noticed that one of the dinosaurs was watching me. When he moved towards me I got frightened and woke up. It appeared that I was exploring the land of dinosaurs just in my dream.
My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances.There were nine children in Michael's family. They lived in a small fourroom house. Later he lived in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstaires. It stands in 2,700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses, a golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, gardens, lakes, forests and a zoo.A lot of strange stories are told about Jackson. It's difficult to decide whether they are true or not. Michael never gave interviews and was rarely seen in public, except on stage. Certainly his behaviour may seem eccentric. In public he often wore a face mask to protect himself from germs, he slept inside an oxygen capsule, which he believed would help him to live longer. But his manager says that Jackson wasn't eccentric. He was just shy. Michael sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he had always been in the public eye. And since that time he had been working like a grown-up.There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.He said about himself that in the crowd he was afraid, on stage he was safe. Off stage he felt happiest with animals and children. It's not a secret that his favourite hero was Peter Pan.Michael has been called "the child who never grew up", but I think he was a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.Whether he was crazy, childish, eccentric or just shy, he was no fool. He created a brilliantly successful image, he made a lot of money and spent it on the things he wanted. Who wouldn't like to do the same?
