Hey everybody,

I want to tell you about Big Ben

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower, officially named Elizabeth Tower, as well.
Despite being one of the world's most famous tourist attractions, the interior of the tower is not open to overseas visitors, though United Kingdom residents are able to arrange tours (well in advance) through their Member of Parliament. However, the tower has no lift, so those escorted must climb the 334 limestone stairs to the top

The clock's movement is famous for its reliability. The designers were the lawyer and amateur horologist Edmund Beckett Denison, and George Airy, the Astronomer Royal. Construction was entrusted to clockmaker Edward John Dent; after his death in 1853 his stepson Frederick Dent completed the work, in 1854.

Today at our English lesson we were given a task to write a story based on the following picture.

We were to discribe a typical day of this housewife.

This is my story.

Her name is Suzanna. When she was a child her mother died and her father beat her. She killed her dead when she was 19 years old. She got married. Her husband's profession is a long-distance truck driver. She cooks and washes up every day, because if she doesn't do it her husband will beat her. She cleans their car and their house twice a day. She is really afraid of beating so she does her work very well.

Skrillex is Musician, DJ, music producer, guitarist , Singer

                                            Skrillex

I want to introduce you to a DJ, which is now very popular. This Skrillex. But not everyone likes his work, because his style of music is dubstep.

Dubstep  is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South LondonEnglandUnited Kingdom. The music website Allmusic has described its overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals."

Most teenagers listen to him. Now he's going halls in large cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and goes on tour.

The present name of the musician - Sonny Moore. He was born January 15, 1988 in California, and his upbringing involved foster parents. Only 16 years old, he learned the names of their real biological father and mother, although there are those people he had known since childhood.

In nine years, Sony presented the first musical instrument - it was a guitar, but only three years later, she called the boy's interest. And in 13 years, the musician downloaded the program «FL Studio». From that moment, and began experimenting with electronic sounds.

Nickname Skrillex - has absolutely no value and does not assume any
information load. Musician chose this word because friends always called him Skril or Skrilli. This is the second stage name of the musician, and the first producer pseudonym - Twipz.
 
  • Biggest hit musician «Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites» - collected more than 70 million views on YouTube.
  •  Two songs Skrilleksa hit the top ten tracks that people are most often heard in the social network Facebook in the past year
  • Twitter American musician reads over a million people.
  • Skrilleks won in three categories at the 54th awards ceremony, "Grammy".
Workaholic, music fan with the experience and just a humble guy, in an asset whose passion for music and the three "Grammy" - is the way we saw Skrillex, one of the most controversial dubstep producers in the world.
