The Wellers are in Anaheim, California*, the USA. They are going to spend four days in Disneyland*. Stuart has already been there. He travelled to California three years ago. He had a wonderful time there and now he is telling his family about it.
— There are six different lands at Disneyland. Each land has a lot of rides. My favourite was Tomorrow land. I drove in a time car and took an underwater ride. It was exciting.
— Will we see everything? - asks Melanie.
— Oh, no. We’ll choose only some things. Let’s start with Main Street.
They have bought tickets and got in the magic park. In Main Street they see how America looked one hundred years ago. There are also a lot of places for entertainment. Melanie wants to watch Steamboat Willie — the firs t sound cartoon about Mickey and Minnie. Then they are going to explore the park.
— Where are we going now? - asks Melanie.
— You like adventures (приключения). Would you like to see an alligator? Or would you like to see pirates?
— Pirates!
They have found the pirate ride in Adventureland and now they are boating in a tunnel.
— Look! The pirates are here! The pirates are sailing in a big ship. They are shouting. They are attacking the town. Flames (языки пламени) are jumping everywhere.
— Special effects? - asks Melanie.
— Yes, they are wonderful. The first day in Disneyland has finished. The Wellers are sure that the magic of the Magic Kingdom will stay with them for a long time.

Every summer in June, thousands of people visit the Pskov land. They come here to the village of Mikhailovskoye to the wonderful festival of poetry, to see the places where he lived and worked.
Pushkin is always alive for us, he is the man we all know and love, the greatest of poets. Generations come and go, but Pushkin still remains. We are all grateful to Pushkin for each line of his works. Pushkin is not only a great poet for us. He is the perfect man combining brilliant talent with civil courage. His name is associated with our love for the Motherland, and the best in our life.
Hundreds of new concepts, hundreds of new words have appeared in the language in the years that have passed since his death, but not a single word of his poetry has become obsolete. Everything written by Pushkin continues to live. It has not become something of the past, it does not need any corrections and hardly needs commentary. His feelings and his views still correspond to our own feelings and views.
We admire the great world of Pushkin's poetry as a whole, each of us finding some special lines for ourselves, lines showing his sympathy and respect for his people. The reader cannot imagine his inner world without him.
