my trip

travelling is the most exciting thing in the world. first of all, it lets us discover the world from different sides, visit different countries and experience their cultures and traditions. moreover, we have a chance to enrich our knowledge about life in general and particularly about ourselves. travelling also gives us an opportunity to meet new interesting people, learn new languages, taste different national dishes and develop our skills. that’s why i’m trying to travel as much as possible. last year i visited new-york, usa. i got there by plane. it took me more than 8 hours. the most exciting thig i saw was the empire state building. i had a fantastic time and learnt a lot about this marvelous and famous landmark.the first thing i’ve noticed about this beautiful building is that it looks like a giant pencil, with a tall and pointed top. i caught my breath, when i rose my head to see it at first. the architecture of the empire state building is gorgeous.. there was so much to see and do inside the tower. there were two observations with spectacular views, lovely coffee shops and some souvenir shops. i’ve bought several postcards, so that i will always remember that day.i felt a little sad when it was time to live. i had a good time in new-york and i hope to go there again next winter.

this story happened ten years ago in one english village. mr. and mrs. johnson arrived in clovelly late at night. they came from the usa to spend their holiday in a lovely surrounding. as it was rather late, they decided to stay overnight at a hotel.

next morning, after a short walk mrs. johnson realized that she fell in love with this peaceful place. she said she wanted to buy a house in clovelly and move to england.

so, they spent a day looking for a detached house or a mansion. finally, they’d found one and went to see it with an estate agent. there was a kitchen, a dining room and a living room on the first floor. and, there were three bedrooms upstairs. while mrs. johnson was exploring the second floor, she felt a strange cool breeze coming from one room. it was the darkest and the most unpleasant room she’d ever seen.

nevertheless, they decided to buy the house but to renovate the strange bedroom upstairs. the same night they were celebrating their profitable investment at the local pub. mr. johnson ordered a bottle of champagne and told the bartender about their new house. the young guy went pale when he heard about that house. he said that nobody had ever wanted to buy it because of its dark past.

in fact, the owner of the mansion was murdered in his bedroom. since then people tell various mystical stories about this place. moreover, they say that the ghost of the former landlord still dwells there. mrs. johnson was terrified. she said she knew there was something wrong with that room.

next day they quickly packed and caught a plane to new york. the johnsons never came back to clovelly again.

тем не менее, они решили купить этот дом, но сделать ремонт в странной спальне на верхнем этаже. в ту же ночь они праздновали свою выгодную инвестицию в местном пабе. мистер джонсон заказал бутылку шампанского и рассказал бармену о своем новом доме. молодой парень побледнел, когда услышал об этом доме. он сказал, что никто никогда не покупает его из-за темного прошлого.

на самом деле, владелец особняка был убит в своей спальне. с тех пор люди рассказывают разные мистические об этом месте. более того, они говорят, что призрак бывшего хозяина все еще обитает там. миссис джонсон была в ужасе. она ведь догадывалась, что с этой комнатой что-то не так.
