Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization. Last year we visited Egypt, and we went to see the 1 pyramids. They are made of 2 stone. Their size is amazing. They look 3 huge! They are probably the 4 best-known of the past. Though they were built many centuries ago, they do not look 5 ancient. There is the 6 statue of The Great Sphinx next to one of them. It’s very big, it is really 7 gigantic!
The name “sphinx” comes from an old Greek 8 legend of a creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird. The age of The Great Sphinx is not known, but it is very old. The statue is partly 9 ruined — it lost its nose long before Napoleonic wars. Very little is known about the 10 construction of the pyramids and the sphinx, although there are many theories about it.

Египет славится своей древней цивилизацией. В прошлом году мы посетили Египет, и мы ездили к пирамидам. Они сделаны из камня. Их размер поражает воображение. Они выглядят огромными! Они, наверное, самые известные из прошлого. Хотя они были построены много веков назад, они не выглядят древними. Статуя Большого Сфинкса находится рядом с одной из них. Она очень большая, она действительно гигантская!
Название «сфинкс» происходит из древнегреческой легенды о существе с головой женщины, телом льва и крыльями птицы. Возраст Великого Сфинкса не известен, но он очень старый. Статуя частично разрушена — она потеряла свой нос еще задолго до наполеоновских войн. Очень мало известно о строительстве пирамид и сфинкса, хотя есть много теорий об этом.

PREFIXES

A
prefix at the beginning of a word has a meaning of its own that
changes the meaning of the word it is joined to. Knowing
what the prefix means can help us to understand the word.
For example, if you read unpremeditated
and know that meditate means ‘think about something’ – you can
work out the meaning of unpremeditated: un—
is a prefix meaning ‘not’, pre-
denotes ‘before’, meditated means ‘thought about’. You can
now work out that unpremeditated
means something like ‘not thought about in advance’.

We
can use prefixes in front of:

• Nouns
  underpayment,
  understudy

• Adjectives
  underdeveloped,
  underground

• Verbs
  undercut,
  underestimate
