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.

It was a dark and rainy evening when i was at home alone.
I was reading a book when i heard something in the basement.
First I wasn't afraid of it.
Sometime later i called my farher on his mobile phone and heard the music in the basement.
I thounght, "Dad is at home."
But when I walked into the basement, i didn't see him there. 
The music didn't play, either. 
Only two boxes stood on the floor. Perhaps it was a ghost.

Это был темный и дождливый вечер, когда я была дома. Я читала книгу, когда услышала что то в подвале.Сначала я не испугалась этого.
Немного спустя я позвонила моему папе на его мобильник и услышала музыку в подвале.
Я подумала, "Папа дома". Но когда я пришла в подвал, я не увидела его там.
Музыка больше не играла.
Только две коробки стояли на полу. Скорее всего это был призрак
