I have always been interested in Stonehenge. It is one of the world's most mysterious sites. There, dozens of huge stones stand in a circle, but nobody is quite sure why. Although I (1)
have wanted
to travel there for years, I never managed to plan a trip. But then I learnt about the site's online tour! Now I can visit it anytime.
Last weekend, I visited Stonehenge online for the first time. On the tour, I (2)
got
a much better sense of the stones' size. Some of them are over six metres tall and weigh more than 20 tons. Although I loved seeing the stones themselves, I enjoyed looking around the site even more. I (3)
saw
lovely green fields all around the stone circle. The whole thing was very beautiful!
Stonehenge (4)
has stood
there for thousands of years, but there is still a lot of uncertainty about it. During my tour, I (5)
learnt/learned
something interesting. On the summer solstice, the sun shines right into the centre of the circle! Because of this, many experts believe that ancient people (6)
used
the stones to study the sun, moon and stars.
Since my first visit, I (7)
have taken
several more online tours of Stonehenge. Each time, I learn and see new things. It is such a wonderful way to explore history!
