перевод-

слава прошлого - эхо будущего.

my favorite weather is when it's sunny with clear sky and fresh, warm wind. i like when people are out of their apartments. when they're having picnics in parks. when children are playing hide-and-seek, running, building something out of sand. you walk out your house, you see this shiny and bright sun and it feels like you also become shiny and happy just like the sun. this kind of weather  is close to my personality. i like to wear light dresses, walk in the city with my friends when it's painted green. i think it is the most beautiful and wonderful kind of weather.

они слышат звуки биг бена каждую четверть часа.
