The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol of San Francisco, USA. It was completed in 1938. It is 18 metres wide and 2,737 metres long. You can either drive or walk across the bridge. Driving is very exciting when you pass under the bridge's towers, and walking can give you time to enjoy the wonderful view of the city.

About 4,500 years ago, the Egyptians built the mysterious pyramids with stones. Egyptians used these pyramids to keep the dead bodies of their kings and queens.

The Sydney Opera House was completed in 1973. It is near the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is one of the busiest art centres in the world. Visitors from all over the world are surprised to see so many theatres and halls inside the opera house.

The Eiffel Tower is in France. It was built in 1889 in the centre of Paris. It is about 320 metres high. Millions of people come to see it every year. At night, you can see many car lights from the top of the Tower. It is very beautiful.

Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last E-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor
