A famous actor from an English-speaking country

Who doesn't watch movies or TV shows nowadays? And of course everyone has their
favorite actor or actress. My favorite actor is the well-known Will Smith. Today he is called one
of the best actors in Hollywood. In addition, Will is also a rap artist, and has received four
Grammy Awards in music. He has been nominated for Golden Globe and Academy Awards.

He was acting as an acting skill since childhood. He is sensitive to people's feelings, well
organized and can focus on his work. Will began his acting career with a starring role in the
drama "Six Boundaries of Distance". And after that he played the main roles in such
blockbusters as "Men in Black", "I am a Legend", "Independence Day", etc. The most
interesting thing is that he performed two of his roles together with his son Jayden. Each of his
roles embodies a separate personality: very strong and purposeful.

In my opinion, Will is the most amazing actor who loves his job and enjoys his roles.

Особенности\отличия американских лагерей

Summer camp is a popular form of recreation. In the world, not all camps are the same. Consider the
American camps. They differ in their location, type and direction in the development of children's abilities.
Firstly, a summer camp in the USA can be located by the sea or ocean. For example, a Lifeguards
camp where children are taught rescue skills and knowledge.
 There are also a lot of types of camps in the USA in different areas of development. For example, scout
camps; weight loss camps; language camps; educational camps aimed at developing creative, leadership,
academic, sports and other abilities of the child.
Based on this, we can conclude that camps in the USA have their own peculiarities, which are very
welcome.

American traditions in the camp

Summer camp is a popular form of recreation.

Traditionally, all over the world, children's camps were organized in nature, where children followed
the daily routine, proper nutrition, and played outdoor games. American camps differ in that can be on the
seashore or ocean, for example, a Lifeguards camp where children are taught rescue skills and knowledge.
Also, some camps include not only an entertainment program, but also an educational one. For example,
language camps, educational camps where aimed at developing creative, leadership, academic and other
abilities of the child. Most of all I liked such an American tradition as gatherings around the campfire. When
everyone is wrapped in blankets and singing songs. This type of activity brings all people together and makes
you feel how wonderful the people around you are.

In conclusion, the American summer camp is a place not only for recreation, but also for development
and the feeling that you live.

London in one day

London is a favorite European tourist city for many people because of its beautiful architecture,
historical sites, museums and outstanding palaces.
In order to get to know the city as much as possible in one day, you need to get acquainted with its
history. For example, visit the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and
watch the changing of the guard at 11:00. The next task will be to get acquainted with the cultural side of
London: Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, the British Museum, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, which is
located in the open air. However, how can you do without the famous royal Hyde Park. An evening walk can
start from the most popular street Shaftesbury Avenue, then Piccadilly. For fashion lovers, you should take a
walk along Carnaby Street, where fashion trends were born and boutiques with modern clothes were opened.
You can complete your journey with a trip on the London Eye, which offers a magnificent view of the Thames
and the whole of London.
This is a small part of all the sights of London, but in my opinion, the most wonderful one that will
remain in the memory of every tourist.

One of the Beatles

John Lennon is a British rock musician, singer, poet, artist, writer and activist who achieved
worldwide fame as the founder and vocalist of The Beatles.

Many of Lennon's songs, such as Imagine, are often called the best song in the history of pop music. In
2002 the BBC ranked Lennon eighth on list of the 100 Greatest Britons of all time. His songs deal with topics
such as love, peace, equality between people, human fantasies, fame, etc. In the sixties, Lennon had a
profound influence on the development of rock and roll in Britain and expanded the boundaries of this genre
of music.

I chose John Lennon because through his songs he imagines our planet without wars, poverty and
hunger, a world in which all people are brothers and masters of their destiny.
 New York is considered the largest and most important city in the USA. This huge city is located on
the east coast of the country and consists of 5 administrative regions.
Those who arrive in New York to see the most interesting and famous places of America, begin their
journey with a tour of the main symbol of the city and the country, the Statue of Liberty. In addition, Famous
New York skyscrapers are concentrated in the central part of the island of Manhattan. The richest museums
of New York are the Metropolitan and Solomon Guggenheim's Museum. They contain unique works of the
world's greatest artists of all time. One of the attractive parts of the concrete jungles of New York is Central
Park. It is a green zone, with a petting zoo, children's attractions, lakes, and skating rinks. Festivals and shows
are held here; residents of the city go in for sports, bring their children for walks and picnics.
Not being a capital of the country, or even of the state, New York, however, has become the major
center of financial, economic, political and cultural life for the Americans.
For me New York is the most fascinating city that can make any visitor fall in love with it.
