My cherished dream is to visit Great Britain someday. At our English lessons we often "travel" throughout this country. There are a lot of wonderful sights there. And I would like to see everything with my own eyes.
And if I had such opportunity , first of all I would go to London to walk along the streets and hear the English speech and, I hope , that I would understand, what the English are speaking about . And, of course, I would try to communicate with them in their native language.
Then I would go to the Buckingham palace to see the real Queen there. I am sure she is as kind as my grandmother! And, of course, I would admire the Changing of the Guard. One day I saw this wonderful show on TV!
After that I would visit the London Tower and feed the ravens. They say, if the ravens fly away, the Tower will ruin?! Is it true?!
And besides I would visit the London parks because as I have read, they are so beautiful.
In Hyde Park, I would visit the Speaker`s corner, where I would say that I am happy to be here and want to make friends with the English.
In Regent`s Park I would visit the London Zoo. I have never visited the big zoos. It would be interesting to look at the animals who live there.
Returning home, I would buy souvenirs to all my relatives and friends. And as for me the trip to Great Britain would be the greatest gift!
Когда я вырасту, то обязательно поеду путешествовать в различные страны. Культуры мира невероятно интересны. И хочется узнать многие из них. И ближние, и дальние, и экзотические, и родные, близкие по духу.
Начнем с Испании, она не такая экзотическая для нас. Она до сих пор хранит следы пребывания в ней римлян: остатки акведуков, древние могильные плиты. Улицы небольших городов сохранили дух Средневековья: балкончики, на которые выходили прекрасные дамы, кружевные занавесочки, резные деревянные молотки вместо звонков на дверях.
Например, испанский горный город Альбаррасин в<нешне совсем не изменился со времен рыцарей и мавров: здесь нет новых построек. Это почти сказочный город, идеальный бастион для обороны от врага, построенный на голой скале и прозванный «Гнездом орла». Из-за недостатка земли жители строили свои дома прямо над пропастями, ничего не боясь. У испанцев стоит поучиться сохранять свое наследие. Эти люди сумели не лишиться самобытности в угоду моде и научились передавать ценное потомкам.
А почти на другом конце света, в азиатской Камбодже, люди живут в плавучих домах. Половину жизни они проводят на лодках, перевозят на них фрукты, овощи, рыбу. Даже маленькие дети умеют обращаться с веслами! В сезон дождей рыбацкие лодки скользят по верхушкам десятиметровых деревьев. Большинство людей здесь занимаются выловом рыбы. Встречаются тут деревни на сваях, «избушки на курьих ножках», что стоят над шестиметровой морской глубиной. А встречаются и плавучие деревни – на одном озере их могут быть сотни. Плавучие рынки, торговые лавки, плавучие лодки-«автобусы» и школы… Мир поистине потрясающ.
When I grow up, I will certainly go to travel to various countries. The cultures of the world is incredibly interesting. And you want to know many of them. And neighbors, and distant and exotic, native and close in spirit.
To begin with Spain, it is not so exotic for us. It still retains traces of its Roman: remains of aqueducts, ancient tombstones. The streets of small towns have preserved the spirit of the Middle Ages: the balconies, which came out beautiful ladies, lace curtains, carved wooden hammers instead calls on the doors.
For example, the Spanish mountain town of Albarracín in <External Expansion has not changed since the days of knights and Moors: there are no new buildings. It is almost a fairy-tale town, a perfect bastion for the defense of the enemy, built on top of a rock, and nicknamed the "Eagle's Nest". Due to lack of land residents built their houses right over precipices, fearing nothing. The Spaniards should learn to preserve their heritage. These people have not managed to lose the identity for the sake of fashion and learn to transmit valuable offspring.
And almost at the other end of the world, the Asian Cambodia, people live in floating homes. Half life they spend on boats carrying them fruit, vegetables, fish. Even small children can handle the oars! In the rainy season fishing boats glide over the tops of the ten-meter tree. Most people here are engaged in fishing. There are then a village on stilts, "cabin on chicken legs" that are above the six-meter sea depth. And there are also floating village - on one of the lake can be hundreds. Floating markets, trade stalls, floating lodki- "buses" and the school ... the world is truly terrific
