2. VENICE
2ndGroup
Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto.
Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan
Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”,
“City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small
islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of
117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on
which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the
canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on
foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which
nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other
ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”)
which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands.
The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by
Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at
certain points without bridges.
You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco,
Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto.
The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are
one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.
They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of
high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view,
especially at night.

3. ELEPHANT
2ndGroup
An elephant is the largest and strongest of all animals. It is a
strange looking animal which it has thick legs, huge sides and backs,
large hanging ears, a small tail, little eyes, long white tusks and above
all, elephant has a long nose, the trunk. An elephant is commonly seen
in a zoo, it has hard found in it natural habitat.
The trunk is the elephant's peculiar feature. This trunk has
various usages. The elephant draws up water by its trunk and can
squirt the water all over its body like a shower bath. The elephant's
trunk also lift leaves and put them into its mouth. In fact, the trunk
serves the elephant as long arm and hand. An elephant looks very
clumsy and heavy and yet an elephant can move very quickly.
The elephant is very intelligent animal. Its intelligence
combined with its great strength makes an elephant a very useful
servant to man. Elephant can be trained to serve in various ways such
as carry heavy loads, hunt for tigers and even fight. An elephant is
really a smart animal.

4. THE EIFFEL TOWER
2ndGroup
The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel) is a 19th century iron lattice
tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global
icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The
Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris,[1] is the single most visited
paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named
after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance
arch for the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands at 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an
81-story building. It was the tallest structure in the world from its completion
until 1930, when it was eclipsed by the Chrysler Building in New York City.
Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France,
behind the Millau Viaduct, completed in 2004. And while the Eiffel Tower is a
steel structure, and weighs approximately 10,000 tonnes, it actually has a
relatively low density, weighing less than a cylinder of air occupying the same
dimensions as the tower.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to
ascend either on stairs or lifts to the first and second levels. The walk to the first
level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third
and highest level is only accessible by lift. Both the first and second levels
feature restaurants.

5. 2ndGroup
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and
France. The tower is a featured part of the backdrop in literally scores of
movies that take place in Paris. Its iconic status is so established that it
even serves as a symbol for the entire nation of France, such as when it
was used as the logo for the French bid to host the 1992 Summer
Olympics.
The metal structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tonnes
while the entire structure including non-metal components is
approximately 10,000 tonnes. Depending on the ambient temperature,
the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm (7.1 in)
because of thermal expansion of the metal on the side facing the sun. As
demonstration of the economy of design, if the 7300 tonnes of the metal
structure were melted down it would fill the 125 meter square base to a
depth of only 6 cm (2.36 in), assuming a density of the metal to be 7.8
tonnes per cubic meter. The tower has a mass less than the mass of the
air contained in a cylinder of the same dimensions, that is 324 meters
high and 88.3 meters in radius. The weight of the tower is 10,100 tonnes
compared to 10,265 tonnes of air.

6. BOROBUDUR TEMPLE
2ndGroup
Borobudur Temple is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near
Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms
topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504
Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is
surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.'
The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for
Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument
and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top
through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kāmadhātu (the world of
desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of
formlessness). During the journey the monument guides the pilgrims through a
system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and
the balustrades.
Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the 14th-century
decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to
Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas
Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by
native Indonesians.
Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The
largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the
Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a
year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is
Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.

7. Thanksgiving Day
2ndGroup
Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day is a celebration of harvest,
thankfulness for peace, and the attempt of Native Americans. It is
usually celebrated in late autumn.
In the past, Thanksgiving was celebrated for their rich harvest
in New England. In North America, however, it was originally held to
thank God for their survival in the new land which was not easy for
them. However, in Canada, it had been celebrated as in New England.
Thanksgiving now is celebrated in United States of America and in
Canada. Thanksgiving festivals are held every fourth Thursday of
November in the U.S and on the second Monday of October in Canada.
It is usually celebrated in four to five days in the North America and for
three days in Canada.
It is celebrated through families and friends gathering to eat
and give good luck. Turkey is the main dish in the thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving parades are also usually held. In Thanksgiving homes are
decorated with wreaths, fresh and dried flowers. Lamps are lighted to
brighten the environment. Tables are decorated with best china and
antique silver dishes to mark the occasion.
