На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкWinterЗимаWinter is a wonderful time of the year. I can even say that it’s my favourite season. Many people don’t like snow, whereas I love it. Moreover, I’m a fan of winter sports. During the winter months I go ice-skating, skiing and sledding. Ice-skating is my favourite sport. My parents took me to figure-skating classes when I was still very young. At the age of 10 or 11 I was an excellent skater. I always watch skating competitions on TV. My favourite Russian figure-skater is Evgeni Plushenko. He was a three-time World champion and seven-time European champion. Another reason why I love winter is the two-week holidays, of course. During these holidays I spend a lot of time with my friends and I visit my relatives. Traditionally, we make a snowman in the street. Everybody participates in this activity. I also love Christmas and New Year. It’s one of the nicest times of the year. People exchange presents and greetings, the streets and stores are richly decorated, illumination is everywhere. I have never met a person who doesn’t like New Year and Christmas days. The only disadvantage of winter, in my opinion, is a great number of icicles hanging from the roofs. They can be really dangerous. Slippery roads and streets also lead to unwanted accidents. Even though in winter it’s much colder than in spring, summer and autumn, I still think it is the most beautiful season of all. I’m always upset when the snow starts melting. Russian winters are especially nice. My pen-friend from England would love to see the beauty of Russian winter. So, we decided that he’ll come and visit me next January. I think he will need lots of warm clothes and a thick coat, as he isn’t used to this climate.

На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкWhere I Want To GoКуда я хочу поехать“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.
