На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкWhere I Want To GoКуда я хочу поехать“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”. I absolutely agree with this quotation. I have always wanted to know more about the world, to see new places, to discover new sights, to learn more about different cultures. Luckily, my parents also like travelling, so each year during long summer vacations we pick one city or country to visit. If it was my turn to choose, I would pick Egypt, as I want to see one of the oldest constructions in the world – the pyramids and the sphinx. If I was an archaeologist, I would definitely try to find out more on how and when exactly they were built. There are so many myths about these sites that it is hard to know for sure which information is true. I know that the largest pyramid, the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which still exists. Speaking of the Great Sphinx, it is the oldest known monumental sculpture and the largest monolith statue in the world. How these attractions were built is a source of constant speculation and debate. Some say they were built by ancient Egyptians, while other researchers think that this tremendous amount of brute labor is beyond human power. It is believed that Egyptian Pyramids were built between 2589 BC and 2504 BC. They are now a visual testament to ancient planning and engineering. The Sphinx is associated with king Khafre, who ruled over 4,500 years ago. The Sphinx has a human head but the body of a lion and it was carved out of a huge white stone. I would really love to see these structures myself. There were other world wonders, such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or the Colossus of Rhodes, but none has lived up to present days.
There are twenty-one desks in the classroom and two pupils sit at each desk. The teacher’s desk is in front of the pupils’ desks. The blackboard is on the wall on the teacher’s left. The chalk and the duster are in a box near the blackboard. There are four very large windows on the side of the room opposite the door. We open the windows during the break between lessons. There are portraits on the wall over the blackboard. There are pictures and maps hanging on the walls in the classroom.
В классной комнате двадцать одна парта, и за каждой партой сидят по два ученика. Учительский стол находится перед партами учеников. Доска находится на стене, слева от учителя. Мел и тряпка в коробке возле доски. На стороне напротив двери четыре очень больших окна. Мы открываем окна во время перемены между уроками. На стене над доской висят портреты. В классной комнате на стенах висят картины и карты.
