Subject : A school excursion

Dear Friends,
Last Sunday, I went on a school trip. The coach left at 8:15 and we
arrived at Stonehenge at about 9:45. It is a prehistoric monument located
on Salisbury Plain, about 13 km north of Salisbury, England. It is
composed of circular setting of large standing stones. It is one of the
most famous sites in the world. It was constructed between 2000 BC and
3000 BC. My teacher told us that it was probably a burial site, a temple
for sun worship or a huge calendar. Stonehenge in Saxon language
meant “the hanging stones”. We took different pictures because we have Stonehenge
to make a project for the second term. We were really impressed. We
also visited Salisbury cathedral which is named The Cathedral of Saint
Mary. It is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in England. It has the
tallest church spire in the United Kingdom. This cathedral contains a
clock, which is among the oldest working examples in the world, and it
has the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta.
It was a fantastic day and I am glad because I learnt many things, so
my project is going to be very interesting.
Yours,
Mark
Ps: I attach this message with some pictures of the visited landmarks. Salisbury cathedral
