I would like to visit the Louvre. Louvre is located in Paris. Paris is the capital of France. France is a very romantic and beautiful country. In the Louvre is a lot of famous paintings. For example, Mona Lisa, who wrote Van Gogh. It contains the originals of many famous, beautiful works of art. It is very interesting for me to look at them, to see such pictures live. I think many would like to visit Paris as a whole and look at the Eiffel Tower. This tower is considered the most beautiful and elegant tower in the world.

I. Hurry up! I am afraid by the time we get to the station the train will have already left.

Поторопись! Боюсь, что к тому времени, как мы приедем на станцию, поезд уже уедет.
