Then you can go to one of the leisure centres or to the night club. In other days we can go to the Carpathian Mountains and see castles’ ruins in Ternopil region; they are not less amazing than those in England.

Haunted house It was a beautiful day of summer. Me and my family were moving to a new house in Pennsylvania. At the first look the house seems to be very comfortable. I looked up and saw my new bedroom‚ it was in the attic. Delighted ‚I went to unpack my things.

is filled with the only people I’ve known my entire life. The superannuated streets are enclosed by the very building which the emperors lived. The walls are rich as the white pearl of gold. It has been carved a masterpiece and the only beautiful castle in all the lands. “I will live like that someday” I tell myself. I am now bordered by the thick green forest which endangered animals inhabit and many forbidden herbs. This is where I do my work of witch crafting. The lovely black striped orange
