The pyramids of Giza - this is the only surviving object that entered the famous list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They are located on a limestone plateau, hundreds of meters from the south-western outskirts of Cairo. In ancient times, the inhabitants called this place imentet, which meant "West". Then it became known as kher neter ("cemetery"). In the seventh century, the city of Giza was founded nearby. This name is fixed and behind the place, which is visited by millions of tourists annually. Giza became famous during the Fourth Dynasty of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt after the pyramids of Cheops (Khufu), Khafre (Khafre) and Mikerin (Menkaure) were erected here. The sculpture of the Great Sphinx is also widely known. The statue is 57 meters long and 20 meters high embodies the power of a man, a god and a lion.
перевод Пирамиды Гизы - это единственный дошедший до нашего времени объект, который вошел в знаменитый список Семи Чудес Древнего мира. Они расположены на известковом плато, в сотнях метров от юго- западной окраины Каира. В древности жители называли это место imentet, что означало "Запад". Затем оно стало называться kher neter ("кладбище"). В седьмом веке неподалеку основали город Гиза. Это название закрепилось и за местом, которое посещают миллионы туристов ежегодно. Гиза прославилась еще во времена Четвертой династии фараонов Древнего Египта после того, как здесь были возведены пирамиды Хеопса (Хуфу), Хефрена (Хафра) и Микерина (Менкаура). Широко известна и высеченная здесь же скульптура Большого Сфинкса. Статуя длиной 57 метров и высотой 20 метров воплощает в себе силу человека, бога и льва

It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV. It plays a great and a very important role in the life of modern man. There is practically no family that doesn't have a TV set. TV is one of the mass media kinds. Radio and newspapers tell us about different events but TV not only tells but also shows. TV has a lot of channels and everybody can watch the programs he likes. Our television suggests various programs: talk show and game show, news and sporting events, about animals and about foreign countries and so on. Soaps-lovers can watch their favorite films almost every day. TV shows us a lot of films of different countries: detective and melodrama, comedy and triller. As former I like to see adventure films, fantasy, comedies. My favorite sporting events programs are about volleyball, swimming, track-and-field athletics and gymnastic. I watch many programs with great interest. These programs are: a wild nature program, "Anshlag", some game shows and so on. There are a lot of films (most of them of foreign TV-companies) with a great number of corpses, with seas of blood now. It's not very good to my mind. I think that one of the aims of TV is to bring up TV-viewers, to cultivate love to our country, kindness and other positive features of character.
