The Niagara Falls

One of the most interesting places in North America is the Niagara Falls. It is nine hundred metres wide and about sixty metres high. The Falls are among the natural wonders of the world.

The Niagara Falls are situated on the Niagara River between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States. There are really two big waterfalls divided by a small island there.

The noise of the Niagara falling waters can be heard for twenty-five kilometres. Imagine a million tons of water flowing over a cliff ninety feet high every five minutes and you will get an idea of that terrible noise. And what great power the Niagara have! They move big stones about and throw them into the boiling waters below.

Some time ago an old ship without people in it was put into the middle of the water. It sailed down the river like a toy boat. It reached the falls and dropped into the boiling water and never appeared again.

There were some people who wanted to become famous by swimming across the most dangerous part of the Niagara River. One of them was Captain Webb. He said that he wanted to swim across the river and a crowd of people came to see that. On the evening of July 24-th, 1883, Captain Webb came up to the river and jumped into the water. Many people watched him with horror. Soon he appeared in the middle of the river but then disappeared under the water forever.

In 1902, Miss Taylor decided to go over the falls in a barrel. The woman examined the barrel carefully and got into it. The barrel was closed and then thrown into the river. When it reached the falls, it was taken by the terrible force of the water. When the barrel was finally caught and opened, Miss Taylor came out alive.

Everyone comes: kings and queens, film stars and millions of ordinary people. They come to see the wonderful sight of the falls.

The Niagara Falls

One of the most interesting places in North America is the Niagara Falls. It is nine hundred metres wide and about sixty metres high. The Falls are among the natural wonders of the world.

The Niagara Falls are situated on the Niagara River between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States. There are really two big waterfalls divided by a small island there.

The noise of the Niagara falling waters can be heard for twenty-five kilometres. Imagine a million tons of water flowing over a cliff ninety feet high every five minutes and you will get an idea of that terrible noise. And what great power the Niagara have! They move big stones about and throw them into the boiling waters below.

Some time ago an old ship without people in it was put into the middle of the water. It sailed down the river like a toy boat. It reached the falls and dropped into the boiling water and never appeared again.

There were some people who wanted to become famous by swimming across the most dangerous part of the Niagara River. One of them was Captain Webb. He said that he wanted to swim across the river and a crowd of people came to see that. On the evening of July 24-th, 1883, Captain Webb came up to the river and jumped into the water. Many people watched him with horror. Soon he appeared in the middle of the river but then disappeared under the water forever.

In 1902, Miss Taylor decided to go over the falls in a barrel. The woman examined the barrel carefully and got into it. The barrel was closed and then thrown into the river. When it reached the falls, it was taken by the terrible force of the water. When the barrel was finally caught and opened, Miss Taylor came out alive.

Everyone comes: kings and queens, film stars and millions of ordinary people. They come to see the wonderful sight of the falls.
