The Internet entered the life of people in the 20th century. It took us less than ten years to face the fact of its spreading all over the world, including the developing countries. It has become not only the hugest information resource in the world but one of the most rapid means of communication. People from different countries have got an opportunity to communicate with each other in quite a short time. In comparison with a snail-mail or even airmail, an e-mail gets over distance and time, borders of states with a fascinating speed.

B. England's most ancient northern city lies on the River Ouse in the centre of the Vale of York between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.

A child-friendly city, its Viking, Castle and Railway museums have plenty to engage young people as well as adults.

D. The London Coliseum, famous for its richly decorated interiors, was used for variety shows, musical comedies, and stage plays for many years.

When not on tour they perform regular seasons throughout the year.

E. The Mall is London's impressive ceremonial way, a broad tree-lined avenue. The spectacular parade takes place here each June to celebrate the official Birthday of the Sovereign.
