Ответ:

I have studied the vocabulary. It is very useful for describing wonders of the world. For example, the Great Pyramid of Giza is an absolutely amazing and marvellous structure. It's an extraordinary feat of engineering that continues to astonish people today. Its sheer size is breathtaking, and it can leave you speechless. When you see it, it can really make your jaw drop. It's truly a unique and unforgettable sight. I would be very enthusiastic to see it one day.

Я изучил эту лексику. Она очень полезна для описания чудес света. Например, Великая пирамида в Гизе — это абсолютно удивительное и чудесное сооружение. Это необычайный инженерный подвиг, который продолжает поражать людей и сегодня. Её огромные размеры захватывают дух и могут лишить вас дара речи. Когда вы её видите, у вас действительно может отвиснуть челюсть. Это поистине уникальное и незабываемое зрелище. Я был бы в большом восторге, если бы однажды увидел её.
