А. “A perfect pearl on an azure ground”

Planning a visit to India? What would your vacations in this country be without experiencing the tours to the mesmerising Taj Mahal? One of the Seven Wonders of the World, called the “teardrop on the cheek of eternity” by Rabindranath Tagore, the Taj Mahal is widely recognised as the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world architecture. It’s one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and every year it attracts 2—4 million visitors with over 200,000 from different coun- tries.

The Taj Mahal means “Crown Palace” and is in fact the most well pre- served and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, after the death of his dearest wife Mumtaz Ma- hal, as a memorial. It is situated in the city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh, on the banks of the river Yamuna.

Read some fascinating facts about this spectacular building:

• The construction work on the Taj Mahal started in 1631 and lasted for 22 years. It required more than twenty-two thousand workers who were brought in from all over the country.

• The Taj Mahal is entirely made of the best quality marbles from different parts of the world including Rajasthan, Tibet, Afghanistan, and China.

• The Taj Mahal appears to be a different colour, depending on what time of the day it is. It has a pinkish glow in the morning and as the day passes it turns into milky white. But the most breathtaking view of the monument is under the moonlight. Some even believe that this changing pattern of colours reflects different moods of a woman.

• The main central dome is 59 feet in diameter and rises to a height of 214 feet.

• Only pollution-free rickshaws and battery-operated buses are permitted in the area of the Taj Mahal.

And once you’re read this, don’t waste any time. Just pack your bags, book your tickets and pay a visit to the world’s most enduring symbol of human love!

B. The Aussie icon of icons

The Sydney Opera House must be one of the most recognisable images of the modern world and one of the most photographed. Not only is it recognis- able, it has come to represent Australia and it is as representative of Australia as the pyramids are of Egypt and the Colosseum of Rome. It is a masterpiece of 20th century architecture and its significance is based on its unparalleled design and construction, its exceptional engineering achievements and tech- nological innovation and its position as a world-famous icon of architecture. It provides guided tours to 300,000 people each year and has an annual audi- ence of 2 million for its performances. In 2007 it was included in the World Heritage List.

The Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbour. The skyline of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the blue water of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House, viewed from a ferry or from the air, is breathtaking and unforgettable. In case you want to know more about this remarkable building, explore the interesting facts below:

• It was designed by the Danish architect Jorn Utzon.

• It took sixteen years to build, which was six years longer than scheduled and ten times more than its original estimated cost.

• On 20 October 1973 the Sydney Opera House was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II.

• The Opera House covers 4.5 acres of land. It is 183 meters long and about 120 meters wide, at its widest point.

• The building has about 1000 rooms, including five theatres, five rehearsal studios, two main halls, five restaurants, six bars and numerous souvenir shops.

• There are 2,679 seats in the largest venue, the Concert Hall.

• The Sydney Opera House is open to the public 363 days a year — closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday. Staff work every day of the year, 24/7.

Utzon’s original design won the prestigious Pritzker architecture prize in 2003, with the jury saying that it “proves that the marvellous and seemingly impossible in architecture can be achieved.” So, come and take full advantage of your visit to one of the great iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become known throughout the world — a symbol for not only a city, but a whole country and continent.

Here are some useful tips to help:

1) Your brochure should consist of three parts: an introduction in which you name the building and state the reason for choosing it, a main body in which you describe the building in detail, and a conclusion in which you mention your feelings and give a recommendation.

2) Use a wide variety of adjectives to make your description more interest- ing and vivid.

3) Address the reader, use idiomatic expressions and quotations to make your piece of writing more personal.
