Hi, my name is Alex. I'm ten years old and this is my family. My family is really big and I think it better then small family, because if you have a big family, you have a big "circle" of family members, who can help you. I have a mom, dad, sister, grandmother, grandfather and a little cat, who also is our family member. My sister is Lena and she is twelve years old. We are the best friends, because she helps me in hard situations. If you wanna make a friend with girl, you shouldn't be so shy. Just do it, and you will the best friend of her. Girls are like the boys, just so kind and cute.

Большие часы Вестминстера являются третьими по размеру в мире (после часов Абрадж аль-Бейт и Ратуши Миннеаполиса) четырёхсторонними часами с боем.

Спроектировали часы сэр Эдмунд Бекетт (англ.)русск. и королевский астроном Джордж Эйри. Создание часов было поручено часовых дел мастеру Эдварду Джону Денту (англ.)русск., после смерти которого в 1853 году строительство возглавил его приёмный сын Фредерик Дент. Фредерик завершил работу в 1854 году.

Маятник часов установлен внутри ветронепроницаемой коробки, расположенной ниже комнаты с часовым механизмом. Его длина составляет 4 метра, вес — 300 кг. Ход маятника составляет 2 секунды. Точность хода часов регулируется с монет, которые кладут на маятник: старая (додесятичная) монета в 1 пенни ускоряет его движение на 0,4 секунды в сутки[11].

Общий вес часового механизма — 5 тонн.

Диаметр циферблата — 7 метров.

Длина стрелок — 2,7 и 4,2 метра.

В основании каждого из четырёх циферблатов часов располагается латинская надпись «Domine Salvam fac Reginam nostram Victoriam primam» («Боже, храни нашу королеву Викторию Первую»).

The big clock of Westminster is the third largest in the world (next to the clock on the Abraj al-Bayt and the city Hall of Minneapolis) four-sided clock with fight.

The clock was designed by sir Edmund Beckett (English).Russian. and the astronomer Royal George airy. The creation of the watch was instructed in watchmaking master Edward John dent (English).Russian., after whose death in 1853 construction was headed by his stepson Frederick dent. Frederick completed the work in 1854.

The pendulum clock is installed inside the wind-proof box, located below the room with the clock mechanism. Its length is 4 meters, weight 300 kg. the pendulum is 2 seconds. The accuracy of the clock is adjusted using the coins placed on the pendulum: the old (dodecahedra) coin 1 penny accelerates its movement to 0.4 seconds per day[11].

The total weight of the movement — 5 tons.

The dial diameter is 7 meters.

The length of the arrows is 2.7 and 4.2 meters.

At the base of each of the four dials is a Latin inscription "Domine Salvam fac Reginam nostram Victoriam primam" ("God save our Queen Victoria the First").
