Writing Task 3. Put the verbs into the passive to complete the text. Hi Amy, Thanks for your email. I just got back from my trip to Egypt yesterday. I'll tell you all about it. I can't believe how many things in Egypt (0) were built (build) so long ago. The pyramids for example, (1) (create) almost 5,000 years ago. The biggest one (2) (call) the Great Pyramid. It's the most famous one and I'm sure you've seen it in pictures. Over 2 million pieces of stone (3) (use) to make it. The Egyptians began building it in 2560 BC and scientists say 20 years passed before it (4) (finish). It (5) (believe) to be the resting place for an old king of Egypt. Amazing isn't it? I also visited the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This is where many things from ancient Egypt (6) (keep). I saw some items that (7) (wear) by King Tut, the most famous king of Egypt. I read that they (8) (find) in 1920 by British scientists. The museum building is amazing too. It (9) (open) in 1902. It's really beautiful. I'm sending you a photo with this email. It (10) (take) in front of one of the pyramids. Hope you like it! Bye for now! George
CRUEL City, London, London,
Where, duped slaves of devils' creeds,
Men and women desperate, undone,
Dream such dreams, and do such deeds:
London, London, cruel city,
By day serpent, by night vampire —
God, in thy great pity, pity,
Give us light — though it be fire!
Лондон
Жестокий Город, London, Лондон,
Где, обманывают рабов дьяволом вероучения,
Где мужчины и женщины отчаянные, отменно,
Мечты как мечты, и делаются такие деяния:
Лондон, Лондон, жестокий город,
Днем змея, ночью вампир —
Бог, в своей Великой жалости, жалости,
Дайте нам свет — пусть он и будет огонь!
In this picture you can see a pedestrian street. Two girls are drawing on the pavement. A few people are sitting at the cafe tables. Some people are walking and some are riding their bicycles. In the distance there are people sitting on the benches enjoying the sunshine. I think it is spring because the grass and the leaves of the trees are light green.
На этой фотографии видно пешеходную улицу. Две девочки рисуют на тротуаре. Несколько человек сидят за столиками в кафе. Некоторые люди гуляют, а некоторые едут на велосипедах. Вдалеке люди сидят на скамейках, наслаждаясь солнцем. Я думаю, что это весна, потому что трава и листья деревьев светло-зеленые.
