Man has always been a builder.The kind of house he built in the beginning depended on the climate, on his enemies and on the building material at hand. The ancient Egyptians built very simple houses by present standards.Having dried the bricks in the sun they put up four walls and above these they placed a flat roof. The roof was flat because there was very little rain in Egypt.Their pyramids and monuments, sphinxes and palaces arouse our wonder to this day.In our country architecture flourished for the first time in Kiev Russ.The churches of the time were strong buildings with thick walls and small windows.They often had to serve as fortresses during enemy invasions. At present, the building industry is the largest in Belarus and it holds an important place in the National Economy of our country.Builders use many new materials such as reinforced concrete, precast concrete, light weight concrete, gas concrete, many decorative materials, oil paints, wall paper. Synthetics are among them.The assembly method is developing into the main method of apartment and industrial construction.Transport brings a complete flat to the prepared foundations of a building. A powerful gantry-crane lifts the 18 – 20 ton flat and carefully sets it on the foundation.
Dear Martin, We usually arrange a birthday party on Sunday. I invite my relatives and my best friends. Mum and I clean the flat on Saturday. There are usually a lot of balloons in the room where the party is. A big cake with candles is usually made by my granny. At the party there is always lots of delicious food and drinks. My friends come and I get a lot of presents from them and from my relatives. When tea time comes I make a birthday wish and blow out the candles on the cake! We dance and sing. Then we play games. We also organize interesting competitions. We enjoy the party and have fun. Birthday parties are great fun for everyone! You asked me what present I would like to get for my next birthday. I think it will be a mountain bike. When is your birthday? How did you celebrate your last birthday? What would you like to get for next birthday? Keep in touch. Best wishes, Oleg
