Loch Ness MonsterЛохнесское чудовищеIt seemed we already know everything about the world we live in but still there are some mysteries that we want to reveal.
Loch Ness is the home of probably the world’s most famous monster. People say that from time to time you can see a big monster who they call “Nessie” in this lake. There are some reports about seeing great black humps on the surface of the lake and then their disappearing. The main question is – is it a fact or fiction?
Experts have been discussing that question for years, but in recent times more and more people believe that a whole colony of giant creatures may live in the lake. In 1962 a group of people formed an organization called the Bureau for the Investigation of the Loch Ness Phenomena.
Each summer they invite volunteers who watch the lake. And in 1966, they installed cameras on the banks to prove 'Nessie's' existence. Other people made some photographs on the lake’s surface, but the pictures weren’t good enough to convince anyone, although a film made in 1961 convinced a lot of people that something exists in this lake. The film showed an object twenty-eight metres long, travelling at sixteen kilometers per hour.
People who claim they saw a monster describe it in a very similar way: it has four fins, a tail and it has a length of around eighteen meters.
Some years ago an 18-year old girl from England had a thirty-seven kilometers journey across Loch Ness. It took her thirty hours, some of which she was swimming in the darkness and everyone applauded her for her strength and bravery.
I have got a grandma. Her name is Yulia Alexandrovna. She is a pensioner. My granny is very kind but strict. She lives in our small town and I visit her every day. Often we have lunch together. My granny can cook very well; I like her pies with meat. Sometimes I help her to cook. Also I water flowers, do the washing up and clean her flat. Usually I and my granny play games: draughts, chess, and domino. She likes to listen to me when I learn poems by heart. In the evenings we like to talk about everything. Last winter we went skiing in the forest. Skiing is her hobby. Also she likes to read very much. She teaches me nice manners, I think, it is very important. I love my granny very much and I’ll remember her all my life. I want to wish her health.<span>

There is a funny fact that this church is similar to another famous Russian landmark - St. Basil's Cathedral. However, their architects and construction time are different.
