Where I Want To Go
“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.

1) Studing foreign languages is very important nowdays, people who are good at foreign languages have more job opportunities, can study abroad and travel without translator's help. It's hard for me to learn English sometimes, I have to know a lot words and rules, but it's so interesting. Reading books in English and watching original films help me to improve my skills, chating with people from other countries is useful too. I can give only one advice for people who begin to study English: practice practice and practice.Noone can learn the language without hard work.
2) I want to tell you about one wonderfull film. It is "untouchable". The type of film is tragicomedy, the main characters are played by François Cluzet and Omar Sy. The story of the friendship between the two who are very diffrent at the first sight, rich and poor, cripple and healthy, white and black(блин,это не пиши,но это ж очевидно как про это можно не упомянуть))), but these two people are very important for each other and both of them help the other one. The ending of the film is very kind and make us to think a lot.The film has a deep idea and talanted actors done their work great. I strongly recommend this film for all people, it's not only for thinking, but it also full of good jokes. I'm totally sure that everyone will enjoy the film.
