3. a. Read two emails and say if they follow the rules described in ex. 2b or not.

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your email. I'm very happy you're planning to visit Australia. I know you have wanted to do it for a long time and I'm sure you'll find a lot of amazing things here.

As I understand you're going to start your journey from Sydney, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to come there from Canberra. Here's some advice on the place that is definitely worth visiting. It's the Sydney Opera House. It's located on the shores of Sydney Harbour ['ha:bə] (гавань / гавань). It's a very unusual building which looks like the sails of a boat. Many different concerts, performances and events are held here, that's why this building is visited by lots of tourists every day. There's even some entertainment for children and you can take part in special programmes that include dancing, music, and theatre. In fact, some people come here just to walk around and admire this impressive piece of architecture. architect – architecture – architectural

This building was designed by a young architect from Denmark, Jorn Utzon. He won the design competition in 1957, but the project was completed only in 1973. The building was a huge success and many people believe it's one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. If you want to get more information about this place, I recommend you to book a guided tour.

There are lots of other sights in Sydney, but this one's my favourite. You can't fail to miss it! Write back soon and share your impressions of Sydney.

Best wishes,

George

Hi everyone,

We're in New York. We're having a great time here. It's a really lively and exciting place. We've done a lot of sightseeing and visited all the major sights, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire ['emparər] State Building and its observation deck, Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum.

But I'd like to tell you about an unusual experience we had yesterday. Our friends from New York took us to the High Line Park. The High Line is an old rail line built 30 ft (about 9 metres) in the air, which runs through Manhattan for a mile and a half. It was made into a beautiful park with spectacular views several years ago. After the trains stopped running, this area wasn't used at all, so the city wanted to destroy it, but several people proposed to turn it into a park. Now this place is very popular with local residents and tourists, and a lot of events, such as art performances and outdoor concerts, are held here. You can even do some stargazing here through powerful telescopes on some days. A lot of architects were inspired by this unusual park and designed their own buildings, which you can see as you walk along the park.

In fact, the project is not completed yet and new parts of the park will be developed next year. I think it's a great way to make our cities cleaner and greener. Just imagine, here you can find more than 500 species of plants and trees, and it's all above the ground.

This place is definitely worth visiting, so don't miss it when you come to New York.

See you soon.

Love,

Susan

b. Какое место вы хотели бы посетить и почему?

Ответ:

I would like to visit the High Line in New York. I find the concept of a park built on an old, elevated railway track to be very creative and unique. It must be an amazing experience to walk through a green space above the city streets, seeing both nature and urban architecture from a different perspective. The fact that it was saved and repurposed by the community makes it even more special.

Перевод:

Я хотел бы посетить парк Хай-Лайн в Нью-Йорке. Я нахожу концепцию парка, построенного на старых, приподнятых железнодорожных путях, очень креативной и уникальной. Должно быть, это потрясающий опыт — прогуливаться по зеленому пространству над городскими улицами, видя природу и городскую архитектуру с другой точки зрения. Тот факт, что он был спасен и перепрофилирован силами общества, делает его еще более особенным.
