Bonfire Night
Lots of people in Britain (1) celebrate 'Bonfire Night' on November 5th. Each town or village (2) has a big bonfire when it gets dark. People stand around the bonfire and (3) watch fireworks. They (4) wear warm clothes because it's usually cold at this time of year. They (5) eat potatoes baked in the bonfire. They are delicious! Bonfire Night is great fun.
Places in London that I would like to visit
When we learn English, we all read texts about the United Kingdom and London. I have read about all the famous sights of London and now my dream is to go there in order to see them with my own eyes.
My list of the sights is quite long and I would like to visit all of them, but I know it could take me weeks, so I have made a list of the top ten London landmarks. First of all, I would go to Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's home, and I will try to get there just in time to see the Changing of the Guard. I know that if I get to London in August or September, I will have a chance to see the rooms of the palace.
From Buckingham Palace I would go down the Mall to Trafalgar Square passing through Admiralty Arch that was built as a memorial to Queen Victoria. I want to see Nelson's Column that is located in the centre of Trafalgar Square and then I would visit the National Gallery which is said to house one of the greatest collections of European paintings in the world.
The next landmark on my list is the London Eye by the River Thames. This ferris wheel is one of the most popular attractions for visitors because it gives great views over the city. After that I would walk over Westminster Bridge to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. From there I would go to Westminster Abbey, the setting for coronations, funerals and marriages. It is the place where tourists can see graves and memorials of Isaac Newton, Robert Burns, Charles Darwin and many other great writers and scientists.
I would definitely go to explore the Tower with all its exhibitions and I would take a selfie with a Yeoman Guard, or Beefeater.
These are just a few places that I would like to visit in London. I am sure that this experience would be a trip of a lifetime for me.

The building of the Pushkin Museum appeared at the beginning of the 20th century in a small old Moscow street Volkhonka. The museum opened in 1912.
At first the museum exhibited - its halls copies of famous sculptures. Later the museum bought original masterpieces. Now the collection of sculptures in the Pushkin Museum is one of the best in the world. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece. The collection of paintings is not as large as the one in the Hermitage but the Pushkin Museum houses many originals of Italian, Spanish, Dutch and other famous artists. Now it is the second largest museum of art in Russia.
Russian people are proud of the large collection of paintings of French artists of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries which are on the display of the museum.
