The Railways
Many countries have a network of railways to help transport different types of products. The earliest system was in Ancient Greece in 600 BC. Later rail inks were built to connect short distances. In the 19th century, this changed very much. Many countries developed their own network. They had private links between different towns with Germany and Britain. Britain had the best links. These links allowed carrying heavy goods such as coal, iron, ore, and wood. Building a railway was a hard work for labourers. Railways are very expensive to construct but important to transport raw materials and such goods as textiles quickly and cheaply.
In the early 19th century, the first passengers travelled on the railways with horse-drawn carriages. From 1840-1850 Britain was connected by railways and used steam engine to pull carriages.
за твое письмо. Так замечательно получить известие от тебя.
В своем письме ты спрашивал меня, как я провел лето. Я отлично провел это лето. Сначала я ездил в молодежный лагерь, который находится недалеко от Калуги на берегу живописного озера. Мы много загорали и купались в озере, играли в футбол, вечером танцевали и т.д. У меня появилось много хороших друзей.
Затем, вторую половину лета я провел у бабушки в саду. Сад находится около большого леса. Мы ходили в поход, собирали грибы и ягоды и купались в широкой реке.
Тем не менее, мне уже хочется в школу, я соскучился по школьным друзьям.
Извини, я должен идти. Напишу тебе скоро еще!
Всего наилучшего,Сергей.
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your letter. It’s so wonderful to hear from you.
In your letter you asked me how I spent my summer. I had a great summer. First I went to a youth camp, which is located not far from Kaluga on picturesque lake. We had a lot of sunbathing and swimming in the lake, played soccer, danced in the evening, etc. I made lot of good friends.
Then, the second half of the summer I spent with grandmother in the garden. The garden is located near a large forest. We went hiking, picked mushrooms and berries and bathed in a wide river.
However, I already wanted to school, I missed my school friends.
Sorry, I must go. I will write to you soon again!
All the best,
Sergei
