Many expert long-distance swimmers have tried to accomplish the thirty-seven kilometres journey across Loch Ness in Scotland, but it was left to an 18-year-old English girl, Brenda Sherrat to do this. It took her just over thirty hours to complete the distance, and for nearly ten of those hours she was swimming in complete darkness. Everyone applauded Brenda for her strength and stamina, but they also applauded her for her bravery in tackling this most mysterious of Scottish lakes. Fact or Fiction?
Loch Ness is the legendary home of probably the world's most famous monster. In fact, less than three weeks before Brenda made her journey, the monster, or 'Nessie', as it's known to the local people, had made yet another appearance. Four people reported seeing three great black humps on the loch surface, and said they had watched them travelling at high speed for three minutes before the creature dived. There are reports of similar appearances as far back as the last century and every summer many new appearances are reported. Is the monster fact or fiction? Experts have been discussing that question for years, but in recent times more and more people have become convinced that a whole colony of giant creatures may live in the loch. In 1962 a group of people formed an organization called the Bureau for the Investigation of the Loch Ness Phenomena. Each summer, the Bureau enlists the aid of volunteers who watch the loch in daylight hours. And in 1966, they established powerful cameras on the banks to try for a picture that would prove 'Nessie's' existence. Other people have photographed something on the loch's surface, but the pictures have never been quite good enough to convince anyone, although a film made in 1961 convinced a lot of people that there's something there. The film was examined by photographic experts, who reported that it showed an object twenty-eight metres long, travelling at sixteen kilometres per hour.
To begin with, the language is a true treasure of any nation. It gives any country and its people independence from other countries and states. Language is the pride and glory of our country. The most famous Russian people such as Alexander Pushkin, Aleksei Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Yuri Gagarin and others spoke Russian. Russian language is the most rich emotional language in the world. No language of the world has words to express the feelings and emotions so as the Russian language has. This is the most beautiful language on the Earth. I am proud that I know Russian. It is the language of a great nation and a great country. No wonder nowadays people all over the world study Russian.
Начну с того, что язык является истинным сокровищем на любой нации. Он дает стране и народу независимость от других стран и государств. Язык - это гордость и слава нашей родины. На русском языке говорили великие люди, известные на весь мир, Александр Пушкин, Алексей Толстой, Федор Достоевский, Юрий Гагарин и другие. Русский язык самый богатый эмоциональный язык в мире. Ни в одном языке мира нет таких слов для выражения чувств и эмоций как в русском языке. Это самый красивый язык на земле. Я горжусь тем, что знаю русский. Это язык великого народа и великой страны. Не зря в наши дни русский язык изучают люди всего мира.
