Тексты:

Текст A. In 2000 a Swiss organization started a campaign to name the new Seven Wonders of the World. The original Seven Wonders list was made 23 centuries ago. To date, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the last remainingwonder of the Ancient World – that’s why the list needed an update. Millions of people around the world accepted the idea – and millions of votes can’t be wrong. Not everyone was fully satisfied with the voting results, of course.

Текст B. We all know about the Seven Wonders of the World – the seven most impressive structures built by humans. But our Mother Nature is also a great architect, sculptor and artist. The world is full of breathtaking natural wonders: from mountains to rivers and forests, from valleys to waterfalls, volcanoes and caves. We must admit that the world around us is absolutely incredible.

Текст C. Santa has been visiting your home for decades, and the time has come to travel to Finnish Lapland to pay a visit to him. This kind of trip will easily turn into your best Christmas memory ever. This tour’s program includes very magical types of activities: from getting a reindeer driving licence and a certificate of crossing the Arctic Circle to viewing the Northern Lights. You can even send a postcard from Santa Claus’ post office.

Текст D. When you stand at the base of the Pyramid of Giza, the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, try looking up – you will be impressed. The fact that these structures are relics of an ancient Egyptian civilization that existed more than 4500 years ago makes them feel even more dramatic and otherworldly. Although archaeologists still can’t say for sure how these ancient wonders were built, one thing is clear: the Great Pyramid is a giant evidence of the skills of the ancient Egyptian engineers.

Текст E. One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, the Grand Canyon is an icon of the United States. One of the most amazing examples of erosion on theplanet, this huge canyon was formed by the Colorado River. It touches four US states – Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. And even if you’ve already heard of this wonderful place and seen the pictures of it before going there, nothing can prepare you for the breathtaking feeling of amazement that hits you when you get there.

Текст F. Ancient customs and future trends exist together in the magical recipes of a place called Wonder. We’re talking about one of the most famous and beloved Greek restaurants. The name Wonder was inspired by the Seven Wonders of the World. Alexander Angelopoulos, the founder of Wonder, wanted to create a place where traditional Greek cuisine would shine brighter and taste even better with a touch of modern cooking techniques and creative food presentation.

Текст G. What exactly is hiding behind the myth that Santas become Easter bunnies? Millions of chocolate Santas are produced every year for the Christmas season. Although these goods are extremely popular, people don’t usually have a reason to buy chocolate Santas after Christmas. So, they are said to be melted down and turned into chocolate Easter bunnies. In fact, it doesn’t make sense from any point of view. Usually, the seller just simply lowers the price after the end of winter holidays. The remaining Santas are given away for free to children in need and in a worst-case scenario they are just thrown away.
