Комната, которую я занимаю, – просторная, светлая. Окна занавешены белоснежным тюлем в обрамлении портьер светлого коричневого оттенка. Обои, желтые с оранжевым, напоминают свет солнца, что всегда хорошему настроению. Мебели – минимум. В левом углу – письменный стол, а возле него – комод. Шкаф и софа – справа, а возле двери стоит пуфик. Стены увешаны разнообразными фото. На одних запечатлены собственные путешествия и походы, на других – достопримечательности городов русских, попавшие в объектив моего фотоаппарата. Красочные снимки рассказывают о спусках по рекам Карелии: потрясающие закаты и восходы, и пенные потоки, и радостные лица друзей у костра. Все фото, как музейные экспозиции, время от времени обновляю. Для того чтобы друзьям было интересно бывать у меня, да и самому разнообразить жизнь. Знакомые называют визиты ко мне экскурсиями. А мне очень приятно их проводить.(вот)

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”. I absolutely agree with this quotation. I have always wanted to know more about the world, to see new places, to discover new sights, to learn more about different cultures. Luckily, my parents also like travelling, so each year during long summer vacations we pick one city or country to visit. If it was my turn to choose, I would pick Egypt, as I want to see one of the oldest constructions in the world – the pyramids and the sphinx. If I was an archaeologist, I would definitely try to find out more on how and when exactly they were built. There are so many myths about these sites that it is hard to know for sure which information is true. I know that the largest pyramid, the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which still exists. Speaking of the Great Sphinx, it is the oldest known monumental sculpture and the largest monolith statue in the world. How these attractions were built is a source of constant speculation and debate. Some say they were built by ancient Egyptians, while other researchers think that this tremendous amount of brute labor is beyond human power. It is believed that Egyptian Pyramids were built between 2589 BC and 2504 BC. They are now a visual testament to ancient planning and engineering. The Sphinx is associated with king Khafre, who ruled over 4,500 years ago. The Sphinx has a human head but the body of a lion and it was carved out of a huge white stone. I would really love to see these structures myself. There were other world wonders, such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or the Colossus of Rhodes, but none has lived up to present days.
