Final Topic 2

   Hello. Culture takes a big part of your life. And I will tell you about culture. You can teach culture in your house or outside of it.
   You can teach culture inside with Google.Google was the brainchild of Larry Page. and Sergey Brin. They met in 1995 at Stanford University, USA, while they were studying Computer Science. At that time, Internet search engines were slow and complicated. So, they set about creating a search engine that could calculate how important a particular web page was. While they were developing the search engine, Larry and Sergey realised it needed a catchy name. They were inspired by a mathematical word, 'googol' which means '1 followed by a hundred zeros'. They thought it was a really good name considering the endless amount of information available on the Net, and so 'googol' became 'google'. In 1998, Larry and Sergey set up their office in a friend's garage and Google went online. Google now responds to about billion search requests per day and it's success shows no signs of fading.
Or you can teach it with music, like balalaika history, or Lady Gaga.
When you think of Russian folk music , the balalaika immediately comes to mind. This wonderful triangular shaped string instrument from the 17th century is one of Russia`s national sumbols. One 19th century musician by the name of Vasily Vasilievich Andeyev had become interested ib the balalaika as a young boy and had learnt to play it . Later ,when Andreyev was working as a musicianin the salons of Saint Petersburg he began to write music for the balalaika and perform solo concerts with the instrument . He then created an orchestra with balalaikas of different sizes . It was so succesful that the musicians performed at the World Exhibition ib Paris in 1889 .
Lady Gaga She is american singer. She was born in1986. Her real name Stephani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She is Queen of the pop culture.
   Or you can teach culture outside of your house. You can go and see haunted houses. There are lots of different extreme places in the world ,where you can hunt. One day in February 1953, a plumber, Harry Martindale, had been in the Treasurer's House since morning. He had heard lots of stories about the place being haunted.Before, he was working when he heard strange noise. He looked back and saw the helmet of Roman soldier coming through the wal! Harry couldn't believe his eyes. ! Twenty more Roman soldiers followed rching unhappily in pairs. He found later that some Roman soldiers had gone missing in York.
Or you can go on excursion in Kungur Ice caves. Kungur Ice Cave is near the town of Kungur in the Ural Mountains in Russia. It is one of the biggest and most fascinating caves in the world and is the only cave in Russia that has been adapted for tourist excursions. People say that Kungur Ice Cave is like a labyrinth inside. It consists of a network of passages and a number of grottos of various sizes. Some of these grottos are fifty to a hundred metres in diameter and up to twenty metres in height. In all, the cave contains about 60 lakes, over 20 grottos, and around 6000 10 metres of passages. Currently, tourists have access to about 1.5 km of these passages.
Or you can travel like travels John. Hi, I'm John Thompson and I was travelling around the world all last year. I was travelling in India last September. One day, I somehow caught the wrong bus while trying to get from Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal! It took us four hours to reach Delhi! Despite the rain and mosquitoes, it was a lot of fun. After India I was visiting the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. So, I was very relieved when we stopped at a place called 'Monkey Beach'. Hundreds of monkeys were running towards us as we got off the boat. Monkeys stole my backpack with a passport.
You can teach culture with Chinese opera. If you want to watch a musical composition, I recommend watching the Chinese opera. At the Chinese opera you will see how people dance and sing at the same time. The actors have very colorful costumes. Usually red, yellow and blue colors. Actors use inventory, such as a whip. This they show that they are riding a horse. Chinese train more than 7-8 years to perform on big stages. If you look at the Chinese opera, you will not regret it.
It was very interesting to know something new. And I think I will learn culture better.
