I am keen on travelling. I have visited a lot of countries. But mostly I am fond of Italy! This country is a historical centre of world culture. Italy impressed me. I was in Italy with my mother. We decided to visit Venice. I think it was really exciting, because Venice is like another world. I could not wait to see this wonderful place, and I dreamed to visit it. I had been looking forward to that day. In the morning I and my mom were waiting for the bus, which would bring us to the port. It was early morning, so I was very sleepy, but I was dreaming about Venice. Then, other tourists came to the bus stop. We had not been waiting very long, the bus came on time. The way to the port was not long. I looked through the window and saw a lot of shops, one or two churches. While we were sitting in the bus, our guide was telling some information about Venice. In the port we went on board ship. The sea voyage was perfect and unforgettable. The sea and sky were marine and sun was shining. It was sea breeze and I like it very much. When we arrived in Venice first I saw many little souvenir shops, a lot of tourists from different countries. Mother and I decided to take a gondola and float along narrow channels. We saw Marco Polo's house, Casanova's house and other houses of Italian famous people. Then we walked along little crowded streets buying gifts and presents for father, grannies and friends. We also were at the famous square, where there are many pigeons. They were flying around us. It was one of the best in my life. I liked Venice very much. I also visited Rome last year. This picturesque and beautiful city amazed me! First I saw the world famous Coliseum. It was so huge, but graceful and elegant. In the evening it was illuminated with lots of lights and looked perfect. In Rome I visited a lot of different ancient places, for example: National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II, Saint Peter`s Square, Trevi Fountain and etc. I want to tell more about these sights. National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II is a beautiful building, which includes many columns and statues. It stands out for its white colour and looks like a beautiful palace or some people called it "fiancee's cake". Another sight is Saint Peter`s Square. This square is very big and there are always many people. There is an Egyptian obelisk in the middle of the square. There situated Saint Peter`s Cathedral. I have never seen so huge and magnificent basilica! There were statues and monuments of Saint Elena, Saint Andrew, Saint Peter etc. I saw Michelangelo's Pieta and a lot of gravestones of Roman papas. What a splendid place is Trevi Fountain! I was here only at night, so I do not how it looks like during the noon. But at night there was a lot of lights and it seemed like water was shining. In the middle there was Neptune sitting on the sea shell and near were tritons and sea horses. My mum and I threw two coins into fountain so that we will come to Rome again. In conclusion, I would like to say that Italy combines history and beauty of the world. I am fond of this country and I want to visit it more and more times.
Butterflies are our most visible insects because of their beauty and mystique. Their images appear everywhere: in clothing, jewelry, advertisements, magazines, movies and even on television. In warm seasons, butterflies attract our attention as they sip nectar from flowers or fly by lazily. Entire museums and conservatories are devoted to helping us learn about their life pattern. Butterflies fascinate with their metamorphosis: at first it's egg, then it turns into a caterpillar, which becomes a chrysalis later on, and finally an adult. A majority of butterflies need a specific home area that contains certain plants and vegetation conditions for carrying on their life processes. Also, Adult butterflies are very sunlight-responsive, and can be active throughout the daylight hours. Learning about butterflies truly has its moments of magic because this is one of the most interesting insects in the world.
