My family and I have taken part in a 10 mile stroll around London today. My dad and I were strolling around London from 9 am to 3 pm.
We had to check three times during the stroll. The atmosphere was fun. There were a lot of people, some people were wearing fancy dress. Cadbury* people were giving out free chocolates.
While we were strolling we visited some great sights of London.
At the finish I got a prize.
It is one of the most exciting days out I have ever had.
Моя семья и я приняли участие в 10-мильной прогулке вокруг Лондона сегодня. Мой папа и я гуляли вокруг Лондона с 9:00 до 15:00.
Мы должны были отмечаться три раза во время прогулки. Атмосфера была забавной. Было много людей, некоторые носили маскарадный костюмы. (Cadbury* people - не поняла) давали бесплатные конфеты.
В то время как мы прогуливались, мы посетили некоторые большие достопримечательности Лондона.
В конце я получил приз.
Это - один из самых захватывающих дней, которые когда-либо у меня были.
Chapter One
The Boy Who Lived
The chapter starts with description of the Dursley family, who are proud to be "perfectly normal". We learn that Mrs Dursley has a sister, Mrs Potter, but their families haven't met for several years. Both families have sons.
Then the story begins on a "dull, grey Tuesday". Mr Dursley notices a lot of strange things hapenning - owls flying in town, people in cloaks, a strange cat sitting on the wall of his garden, unusual news on TV. The Dursleys go to bed wondering what it all could mean. At night, a tall, thin and very old man appears near their house. It's Albus Dumbledore. The cat turns out to be Professor McGonagall, and the two are professors from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Then comes Hagrid, a giant, who brings little Harry Potter. Harry's parents were killed by Lord Voldermort, a dark wizard, but Harry survived and Voldermort's power "somehow broke" .
So little Harry is left asleep on the doorstep of the Dursley's house with a letter written by Dumbledore. The professors and Hagrid go to join the celebrations.
Melbourne is the world`s best city. The Australian city of Melbourne is the best place in the WORLD to live, says a REPORTER from the Economist Intelligence Unit. The EIU looked at more then one hundred CITIES around the world.
Melbourne got high grades for EDUCATION, entertaiments and culture, housing, HEALTH and weather. Because of this, more and more VISITORS are coming to Melbourne.
Other Australian cities also did well, but the report showed that there WERE more crimes in Sydney.
The best European cities were Vienna and Geneva, but Paris (28). Madrid (45) and London (45) were much lower in the list because of problems with crime , the WEATHER and the prices in the shops. New York and Washington had similar difficulties, but were lower in the list.
