Larty ties 45 big balloons to his lawn chair and then sits C the chair. The lawn chair goes up. For a few minutes everything is fine. The view from the lawn chair is beautiful. Larry can D houses and trees below him.

He is happy. He is flying! The lawn chair goes up very E . Larry is afraid. “I don’t want to go very high,” Larry thinks. “I want to go down a little.” With a small gun Larry shoots 10 balloons. Unfortunately, Larry drops the gun, and it falls to the ground. The chair goes up and up. “I’m flying in a lawn chair and I want to come down!”

Larry flies in the lawn chair for 45 minutes. Then the balloons begin to lose air. Slowly the lawn chair comes down, and Larry is back on the ground. Larry says, “For 45 minutes I was a pilot — the pilot of a lawn chair.”

Natural World in Danger
We have never seen a dodo. The last of these large birds that couldn’t fly died many years ago. Now it is extinct. A lot more endangered species – fish, reptiles, insects, birds and mammals may disappear. The reason is man who kills animals and destroys their habitats.

It is not just animals that are in danger. So are plants. Every day we use paper and cardboard. We use different kinds of wood in furniture and in other ways. Every year over 100000 sq.km. of forests on Earth can be destroyed. This includes rainforests in South America, Africa and Asia. The huge forests help to control the world’s weather and to produce much of the oxygen in the air. There are many illnesses which we still can not cure. It may be that the medicines we need will be discovered in wild plants, in savannas, in deserts or in rainforests.

If we won’t our lives to be healthy and interesting, a lot of other creatures and plants need growing space too.

ну вот смотри,в первом абзаце я типо написал описание,во втором и третьем чем она популярна и известна и тп,в конце типо что тебя интересуют египетские сооружения,в том числе и пирамида хеопса : -)

the egyptian pyramids are an impressive monument to the power of ancient pharaohs as well as to the toil of numerous slaves. it took 20 years and one hundred thousand workers to build the grandest mausoleum in world history the great pyramid of cheops (khufu) at giza.

it is the oldest of seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one survived to our days. khufu’s pyramid stands 140 meters tall and can be seen from a far distance. inside it there are three burial chambers: the king’s chamber, the queen’s chamber and the underground chamber.

the great pyramid is surrounded by several smaller pyramids. they served as tombs for pharaohs and their close relatives.

the pyramid complex at giza is guarded by the sphinx carved from limestone. it has the head of a man and the body of a lion. the bottom part of the monument is buried under the sands.

since childhood i have been interested in egyptian buildings, including the pyramid of cheops! for me it is very informative and interesting!
