Paralympic Games and my attitude to them
Now I want to describe my attitude to the Paralympic Games. The Paralympics is such a complex of different kinds of simple sports which was chosen specially for disabled people. From the words of the participators we can understand that they want to be recognized for their achievements, just like any other athletes. In these even the most disabled people can demonstrate their abilities in the environment where their disabilities don’t count.
In the past people didn’t pay so much attention to this sport event (I mean the Paralympics), but now there appears some kind of new interest, especially pleasing for Bob Steward – the director of the IPC (International Paralympic Committee), he invites new participators. With money which IPC collect with their own efforts they can sponsor more than 100 athletes from 35 countries of the world.
More and more sports have been added since the Paralympics began. Many of them were added with the help and ideas of participators. So far there are events for the blind, amputees and people with cerebral palsy. Games specially for mentally disabled people were added in Atlanta.
From my point of view Paralympic Games is a very important event for all of us and people all over the world, because every person must prove himself. And of course disabled people deserve a chance to show their skills in abilities in corresponding atmosphere.

England is the largest and the richest country of Great Britain. The capital of England is London but there are other large industrial cities, such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and other famous and interesting cities such as York, Chester, Oxford and Cambridge. Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in Southwest England. It measures 80 metres across and made with massive blocks of stone up to four metres high. Why it was built is a mystery.
Not far from Stonehenge stands Salisbury Cathedral. It is a splendid example of an English Gothic Cathedral; inside there is one of four copies of Magna Charta and the oldest clock in England. Chester is very important town in the north-west of England. In the past it used to be a Roman fort; its name comes from the Latin word castra, meaning "fortified camp". In Chester there is a famous museum which contains over 5000 ancient and modern toys.
Oxford is the home of the oldest university of England. The most famous college is Christ Church. It has a great hall which was built during the reign of Henry VIII and its chapel has become the Cathedral of Oxford. Cambridge is the home of Britain's second oldest university. York was the capital of Northern England. It is one of the best preserved medieval cities of Europe. It was built by Romans, conquered by Anglo-Saxons and ruled by the Vikings. Birmingham is often called the "City of 1,500 trades" because of the great variety of its industries
