I'd like to go to Australia. I really like this country because it is very exotic. There are many unusual animals and plants which you can meet only in Australia. I know that in Australia there are many interesting and special things - the Great Barrier Reef archipelago, the Blue Mountains, the luxurious beaches, the unique building of the Opera House in Sydney, the stunning Harbor Bridge, the Kunguroo and the koala, etc. All of this I really want to see. But the main thing I want to enjoy the Australian landscapes and find out what they are - sunsets - on the other side of the Earth. The climate is hot. Sidney is the capital of Australia and it is famous worldwide for it's opera. The nature is actually impressive. I'd like to go to the beach and surf.
Я бы хотел поехать в Австралию. Я действительно люблю эту страну, потому что она очень экзотичная. Там есть много необычных животных и растений, которых вы можете встретить только в Австралии. Я знаю, что в Австралии есть много всего интересного и особенного — архипелаги Большого Барьерного Рифа, Голубые горы, роскошные пляжи, уникальное здание Оперного театра в Сиднее, потрясающий по своей красоте мост Харбор Бридж, кенгуру и коалы и т.д. Все это мне очень хочется увидеть. Но главное мне хочется насладиться австралийскими пейзажами и узнать, какие они — закаты — на другом краю Земли. Климат жаркий. Сидней - это столица Австралии, и он знаменит по всему миру своей оперой. Природа действительно впечатляющая. Я бы хотел пойти на пляж и заняться серфингом.
Today Melissa Livingstone is a popular actress and star of the TV soap opera 'Round the Corner'. But as a child she was very unhappy. She didn't do well at school, and she never went to college. Her greatest pleasure was going to the (cinema). Her family lived in an unattractive town and their home was next to the (station). Melissa's father, Tom, was a sailor, and he spent months at sea. He was hardly ever at home and when he was, he didn't do very much. Sometimes he spent all day in bed. Melissa's mother, Susan, had to get up at five o'clock every day to go to work. When Tom lost his job he stole a gold cup from the church) Susan used to go to. He had to go to prison for a year. Melissa's mother was horrified at the shame he had brought on the family. (1) the (meals) we had weren't very good. We had (2) breakfast in the hotel, and that wasn't too bad. We usually went out for (3) lunch because (4) the (lunch) they served in the hotel was always the same. And (5) the (dinner) we had at the hotel on our first evening was pretty awful, so we tried a few restaurants. On our last evening we had (6) a (marvelous meal) in (7) a Chinese restaurant. I wish we'd discovered (8) the place a bit sooner.
