The Thames is not a long river. It is three hundred and thirty kilometres long and it runs into the sea. The English people call it “the Father of London”. London began on the Thames. When we go in a ship up the Thames we pass under London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and others. There is a museum of old ships on the Thames. These ships are from the history of Great Britain. One of these ships, the “Discovery”, went to the South Pole in 1901 — 1904.
If we go down the Thames we pass the port of London and get to Greenwich — a very old town. We can see the place where the Greenwich Meridian passes.

Перевод:

Темза - не длинная река. Она длиной триста тридцать километров и впадает в море. Англичане называют ее "Отец Лондона". Лондон возник на Темзе. Когда мы поднимаемся на корабле вверх по Темзе, мы проходим под Лондонским Мостом, Башенным Мостом и другими. На Темзе музей старых кораблей. Эти корабли из истории Великобритании. Один из этих кораблей, "Discovery", ходил к южному полюсу в 1901-1904 годах.
Если мы идем вниз по Темзе, мы проходим Лондонский порт и добираемся до Гринвича - очень старого города. Мы можем видеть места, где проходит Гринвичский Меридиан.

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799—1837) is an outstanding Russian poet, playwriter and novelist. He was born in Moscow in a noble family. However, he spent his youth mainly in the village near Saint-Patersburg where he was studying in Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
Despite being extremely talented, young Pushkin was also known for his quick temper. He was jealous, explosive and had no fear. In general, he had 29 duels, the last of which was fatal for the great writer. That time he was fighting with a French officer D’Anthes who was trying to seduce his wife. Alexander Pushkin was only 37 when he died. But his name and many of his works are still known by millions of people all over the world. He was a famous writer of Romantic era. He wrote the magnificent drama “Boris Godunov”, the novel “Eugene Onegin”, different short stories, numerous fairy-tales (“Ruslan and Lyudmila”,The Tale of the Priest and of His Workman Balda”, “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, “the Tale of the Golden Cockerel”, “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”) and innumerable poems.

Несмотря на свой непревзойденный талант, Пушкин был также известен своим горячим нравом. Он был ревнив, вспыльчив и не имел страха. В общей сложности, он участвовал в 29 дуэлях, последняя из которых стала для великого поэта роковой. На ней он соперничал с французским офицером Дантесом, который пытался соблазнить жену Пушкина. Александру Пушкину было всего 37, когда он погиб. Но его имя и многие его работы до сих пор знакомы миллионным людей по всему миру. Он был известным писателем эпохи романтизма. Он написал великолепную драму «Борис Годунов», роман «Евгений Онегин», различные рассказы, многочисленные сказки («Руслан и Людмила», «Сказка о Попе и работнике его Балде», «Сказка о царе Салтане», «Сказка о золотом петушке», «Сказка о рыбаке и рыбке») и бесчисленные стихотворения.
