У Georges Nagelmackers, бельгийского бизнесмена появилась блестящая идея. Он хотел создать новую железнодорожную линию с северо-запада Европы до Азии. Он намеревался это сделать соединив несколько Европейских железнодорожных линий вместе.
На протяжении многих лет он тратил свои деньги на проектирование нового пути. Он посетил Америку и ему понравились модели их поездов. Ему также понравились их пышные кареты.
Среди путешественников первого приключения поезда в 1883 были также члены Европейских Царских семей а также другие не менее знаменитые люди и журналисты.
Политики, дипломаты, бизнесмены и другие богатые и известные люди наслаждались путешествием на Orient Express. Orient Express совершила свой последний рейс в 1977 г. Компании пришлось свернуть своё дело, ведь путешествия по воздуху стали гораздо дешевле.
Science plays a constant important role in my daily life.
Science for me hasn't always been my strong subject in school and I very easily tend to get intimidated. But when I look at my daily life and realize how much science plays a role in it. Science isn't bad at all, it has allowed me to do many things every day. From the way the microwave heats up the water for my coffee every morning or the way my body digests the food I eat every meal and makes it into energy or even a trip to the doctor’s office with my son, science is a constant companion and without it, my life would have turned out very different indeed.
Science has changed and impacted the way I live in many ways. It has educated me about life, about marvels that exist in this world, and about the relationship between these wonders. Science has taught us all to expand our knowledge and covers everything from a very little thing like molecules to planets and the whole universe.
Scientists are learning to predict earthquakes, to study many other natural events such as storms. Scientists are also studying various aspects of human biology and the origin and development of the human race. The study of the natural world may help improve life for many people all over the world.
Basic knowledge of science is essential for everyone. It helps people to find their way in the changing world.
