Madame Tussauds. Where in the world can you bump into Princess Diana or meet David and Victoria Beckham? Only at Madame Tussauds, the London landmark that’s been pulling in the crowds since 1835. Getting up close and personal with life-sized wax models of the famous is a feature of many family holidays to the capital. The story began in 1777 when Madame Tussaud learned the art of wax modelling from Dr Philippe Curtius while working as his housekeeper. Living in Paris, Tussaud's early models, which included Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin, were a great success, but when her exhibition moved to England in 1802 she was unable to return because of the Franco-English war. The exhibition settled in London and it's been a major tourist attraction ever since. Today Madame Tussauds offers a state-of-the-art experience with exhibitions designed to give visitors the feeling that they can be anything from rock stars to world-famous footballers.
My Room
We live in a three-room flat. One of the rooms is mine.
My room isn't very large but it is light and cosy. Its walls are light-green. There is a window and a balcony in my room. To the right of the window there is a desk where I do my homework. On the desk there is a handy lamp and my laptop. Above the desk there are two bookshelves where I keep my textbooks. Under the shelves on the wall there is a map of the world. I put the map there last year in order to study for a map quiz. On the opposite wall there is a large poster featuring Marvel's Avengers.
I sleep on my bed which is next to the desk. The bed is covered with a colourful blanket. To the left of the balcony door there is a comfortable armchair. I like to sit in it when reading books or playing games on my phone. There is a sliding door wardrobe in the corner of the room.
The floor of my room is covered with a neutral-coloured carpet.
I like my room very much.
Моя комната
Мы живем в трехкомнатной квартире. Одна из комнат моя.
Моя комната не очень большая, но она светлая и уютная. Стены в ней светло-зеленые. В комнате есть окно и балкон. Справа от окна стоит стол, где я делаю домашнее задание. На столе удобная лампа и мой ноутбук. Над столом две книжные полки, где я храню свои учебники. Под полками на стене висит карта мира. Я повесил(а) карту в году, чтобы готовиться к викторине. На противоположной стене висит большой плакат с изображением Мстителей Марвел.
Я сплю на кровати, которая стоит рядом со столом. Кровать покрыта разноцветным одеялом. Слева от балконной двери стоит удобное кресло. Мне нравится сидеть в нем, когда я читаю книги или играю в игры на своем телефоне. В углу комнаты есть шкаф-купе.
Пол комнаты покрыт ковром нейтральных цветов.
Мне очень нравится моя комната.
