A symbol of Paris
Being one of the most popular sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. In fact, the structure, received its two hundredth millionth guest in 2002. Located on the Champs de Mars by the Seine River, visitors can make their way to the top and admire the breath taking view of Paris.
The Tower was the inspiration of French engineer Gustave Eiffel. A very famous personality in his time, Eiffel had also done important work for the internal structure of another famous monument, the Statue of Liberty in the USA. Work on the Eiffel Tower began in 1887 and lasted until 1889, when the building was opened to the public during the Paris World Exposition. Until 1930 and the construction of the Chrysler Building in New York, the Tower remained the highest structure in the world.
Many people, especially artists, criticized the structure saying that this distasteful structure did not fit in with the beauty of Paris. One of these critics was the French writer Guy de Maupassant, who ate at one of the tower’s restaurants almost every day, because it was the only place in Paris from where the tower was not visible, and so he wouldn’t have to see it!
A lot of effort and money go into keeping the Tower in good condition. Every seven years, sixty metric tons of paint are used to repaint it. Different shades of the same colour are used on the top and darker ones on the bottom in order for the building to have an unvarying appearance.

Объяснение:
Перевод: Типичная британская погода вполне комфортная. В Британии обычно не так холодно, как в северных странах, например в России или Канаде. В некоторых частях Великобритании люди рады видеть зимой снег. в центральной и южной частях Британии обычно не очень холодно зимой и очень жарко летом. потому что в некоторых частях Великобритании иногда идут очень сильные дожди. такое случается нечасто, но иногда англичане получают прогноз погоды от каждого морского сына, и все это за один день. Если бы вы были в Британии, вы бы заметили, что англичане все время говорят о погоде. из-за переменчивой погоды в Британии всегда есть о чем поговорить, даже с незнакомцем.
I'd like to describe picture number three. in the picture we can see a girl playing the piano. The girl is in her teens. she's got long straight dark hair. she's wearing a blue blouse and light blue jeans.
she's sitting on the chair in front of the piano. she's in Music classroom, I suppose. there is a green plant on the piano. there is a bookcase with lots of books next to the girl. The girl is looking at her hands and the piano-keys. She is trying to do her best. I like this picture because it reminds me about my music classes. In my childhood I learnt to play the guitar.
