As I went to bed that night, I could hear it
1)..
I never expected that
it would turn into the worst flood ever.
I woke up the next morning at my usual time, but
it was still dark. I opened the bedroom curtains
and saw the 2) which looked
almost black. It was still pouring down and the
were almost blowing the trees
over. Then I looked down and saw that the street
was a river of dirty water! I watched as it picked
up my car and smashed it into a wall! My beautiful
new car 4) and bits of it were
floating away. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't
get downstairs as everywhere was under water.
Then, from the bedroom window, I saw a small
boat with firemen in it. They helped me climb out
of the window and got me to safety.
It was the most 5)... of my life, but I
was lucky to get away with just a few 6) ...
I can't say the same about my car, though!​

Riding a bicycle is very useful. But people don't always take a bicycle for the following reasons. One of the reasons is the absence of bicycle lanes. Let's look an adcantages and disadvantages of riding a bicycle and building bike lanes. The most important advantage is more simplier and safer riding for bikers around the city. The disadvantage is that there isn't enough place for bike lanes in the city. So, it will be necessary to allocate part of road or pavement. As a result, there will be no place for pedestrians and road capacity will be reduced. Besides, many pedestrians ignore road signs and go along the bike lanes. This impedes bike traffic and increases the probability of accidents. In addition, a lot of money is required for building of bike lanes since it is necessary to put asphalt, draw markings and place road signs. I believe that in future the bike lanes will be an integral part of roads and a bicycle will become an important part of our life.

David Bowie died of cancer on 10th of January in the age of 69. Like the rest of the world I feel sorry for him. He was a brilliant musician, truly one of the greatest songwriters for all time. He was odd, creative, impressive and passionate for music. Many say that without this man there was no pop-music and it's hard not to agree. 
He changed his image for many time. In 70's he was a Ziggy Sturdust: an alien from space. Also he was a Thin White Duke wearing a formal suit. In 80's he tried himself as an actor and he became the Goblin King with funny hair and weird make-up. And as I remember he had heterochromia (when your eyes have a different eye color). 
Rest in peace, David. Thank you for your music and inspiration. You will be remembered. Goodbye, Ziggy Sturdust.
