A visit to a place I will always remember
All over the world, there is one place which I want to visit and which I'll always rememmber.
This place is the most famous monuments in Britain- it is Stonehenge.
It is a group of enormous stones situated on Salisburg Plain in the south of England. It was built between 2000B.C. and 1400B.C and many of the original stones are still standing today.
There're two main circles of stones, one inside the other- In the centre, the stones are in a horseshoe shape around a central block. The whole monument issurrounded by a ditch.
Some of the stones weigh 50 tonnes. They were brought to the area from a distance of 30 km.
No one is sure why Stonehenge was built. Some people say it was used as a temple to worship the sun and that the block in the centre was an altar. But archeologists now think that it was an astronomical observatory to study the movements of the sun, moon and stars.
For me, it is a fantastic and incrediblemonument which I want to visit in the near future.

Gdynia
I think that Gdynia is the most beautiful city in the coast of Poland. Gdynia is situated by the sea "Morze Bałtyckie". Gdynia has been establish in 1926. Gdynia has a 248 000 residents. Gdynia is a modern and rich city. We have some new building for example: Sea Towers or Gemini. Gdynia is one of the sunniest towns in Poland. Most tourits come here in vacation when the weather is the best there. Gdynia is known from beach, port and tastys fishes.One of main tourists attractions is 2 km long boulevard leading along the coast to Redłowska Polanka a sport recreation centre with a stadium and tennis courts. In gdynia We have a five museums and many antiques. In Gdynia's port are a some ships for example: "Dar Pomorza" or "Błyskawica".All of this We can see from the top of mount Kamienna Góra. The main and longest street in Gdynia is a Świętojańska Street which is the most expensive and exclusive places in Try-City. In this street are a many shops, restaurants and boutiqes. In Gdynia We have also a many parks where We can go for a walk. We have in Gdynia two footballer teams: Arka Gdynia which has been founded in 1929 and Bałtyk Gdynia which has been founded in 1930. If I live in another city and i must come on coast that I sureli choose a Gdynia.

Museum's Cezanne stolen
While everyone in Britain celebrated the new millennium on January 1 2000, a Ł3 million painting by Paul Cezanne was stolen from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
The painting - Auvers-sur-Oise - Depicts a cluster of small white cottages set in a tree-lined valley and dates from around 1880. Police believe the thieves broke in through the main gallery's glass roof while thousands of people were revelling on the streets outside. The thieves may have gained access from the adjoining libary, which was undergoing building work at the time, before clambering over rooftops to reach the museum itself.
The director of the Ashmolean described the theft as a 'shattering blow'. The Ashmolean is home to one of Britain's finest art collections, wchich includes works by Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh and Michelangelo. However, it is not the first time the Ashmolean, the world's oldest public museum, has been targeted by thieves. In 1997, two seventeenth-century French bottles were stolen from the museum. In 1992, security measures were stopped up after Greek vases, paintings, silverwere and a sixteenth-century painting were stolen by a visitor under his coat.
