Harry Houdini was born in 1874. He was probably the greatest magician and escape artist in the world. He started doing magic when he was 17. At first he did simple magic tricks using playing cards and a wand,but he didn't have much success. Houdini didn't give up. In 1898, Houdini created his famous Challenge Act,which involved escaping from Police handcuffs. He then continued to do more difficult acts using ropes,chains and locks. In his most famous acts, he managed to escape from a paper bag without tearing it, and even from a strait-jacket while handing upside down.

The school of my dream must be big and light. There are a lot of windows. The window are big and there are no curtains. There are a lot of big classrooms. There is a gym and canteen. There is also a cinema room. In every classroom there are computers for every pupil. All teachers are kind and clever. All their lessons are interesting. And all pupils study well. Pupils can choose the subjects they want to learn. There is a laboratory where they can make different experiments. Pupils don't wear uniform. I think it is boring. Every person must wear what he or she likes.
