The Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address is a very famous speech given by the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. On November 19, 1863, he gave this speech in dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in Pennsylvania, where thousands of Civil War soldiers lay buried.

President Lincoln was not the featured speaker for the event. He was only to say a few appropriate remarks after the featured orator, Edward Everett, gave what turned out to be a two-hour speech.

When it was his turn to address the assembled, President Lincoln rose to deliver the now-famous speech. It lasted less than three minutes, was only ten sentences long, and was received with only faint applause at the time. However, it became one of the most well-known orations in American history...

Перевод текста на английском языке:

We, humans, live on the Earth. And our planet Earth is surrounded by space. The sky is what we see of space. There are billions of stars and probably billions of other planets moving through space. Our planet is moving through space too. We live on the surface of our planet Earth. Gravity keeps us here on the Earth. Gravity is an invisible force that pulls things and people toward the center of the Earth. All the other planets, stars, and moons must have gravity too. Without gravity we would float away into space. The Earth is lit up by the Sun. The Earth turns around each day. Many centuries ago people didn’t think that the Earth goes around the Sun. But now every pupil should know this fact. We must take care of our planet, because in future there will be many problems of pollution. There is no place like home.
