НУЖНО СОСТАВИТЬ ПЕРЕСКАЗ. ВЫРАЗИВ ОСНОВНЫЕ МЫСЛИ! EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS Architecture is the art which makes buildings beautiful to look at as well as useful. A man who designs (проектировать) buildings and makes the plans for them is called an architect. He has to think not only of what he wants the building to look like when it is finished, but also what it is to be used for. He must not forget the sort of material to be used in the building. This may be stone, brick, wood or steel and concrete (бетон There have been many different styles or kinds of architecture in the past and there are many different styles today in different parts of the world. The oldest monuments which are met within architecture are the colossal pyramids of Egypt most of which were constructed about 6, 000 years ago. The pyramids are large triangular (треугольный) buildings which were placed over the tombs (могила) of Egyptian kings. The best known of the pyramids are a group of three built at Giza south of Cairo. The largest of these is 482 feet high. They tell us of the advanced civilization of ancient Egypt which is much spoken about even in our days. It was a country which had expert mathematicians and engineers, where astronomy and philosophy were known and studied. The country was rich in hard and durable (прочный) stone, but poor in timber (лесоматериалы) and metal, so that the main material used for construction was granite, and this was the reason for the durability of the pyramids. Large blocks of stone were transported over long distances by land and water, and placed into position with the help of the most primitive equipment. That was done by slaves (рабы) working for thirty or forty years. All this great amount of work was done, masses of material and a large territory sometimes of about 52, 000 square meters were used, only for protecting the body of a dead king and constructing a dwelling place (жилье) for his happy life in the "other world".

I think it is difficult to live without love. It may be love to your Motherland, to your family and relatives, friends and other people. It can also be love to different things or subjects in your life such as music, science, nature and so on.

We can hear or see about love everywhere: on TV, in films, books, poems, ect.

I suppose that love as a feeling is given to most people from their birth. Although, I think that different people from different places and at different ages feel love not in the same way. And an ancient poet said, “Love is the thing which moves the sun and the stars”.

On the other hand, love can lead people as to good things like poetry, music, inspiration, as to bad things like jealousy, vengeance, and even war (remember the Trojan war). For example, the main character of a famous book “Perfumer” by Zuskind became a killer because of his love to scents and perfumes.

As for me, I have always loved music, I mean, from my childhood. People like to listen to music, to dance, to sing songs and play musical instruments. Music, as love, reflects our mood and emotions.

By the way, I like to go to concerts of folk and rock music. These concerts make a great impression on people and keep love in their hearts.

Hi Emily!

How are you? I miss you so much! How is school?

Well... I am doing pretty good at school so don't worry about me. My semester is soon ending, what about yours? This year of school is harder than previous. Lot's of homework and classwork to do. Oh and by the way we have theme weeks at out school and this weeks theme is "Protecting Nature Together". It is very interesting! We went into a park and helped pepople clean all the trash. We also made some signs next to garbish cans to make sure everybody throws the trash into the correct. Also me and my friend Betty went out to collect bottles in the city and we collected 167 bottles! We actually found more than others. I hope that this helps the nature because she is actually facing some global problems.

What about you? Have you done anything interesting at school? Tell me about it! I will be waiting for your reply!

Your friend, Katy
