Briti saartel Põhja-Euroopas asuvad Inglismaa, Sotimaa ja Wales. Koos Põhja- Iirimaaga moodustavad nad Ühendkuningriigi. Suurem osa Inglismaast moodustab madalik, kusjuures kõige tasasemad alad on ida pool. Kõrgemate kohtade hulka kuuluvad Lake District (järvepiirkond) ja Penniinid. Sotimaa, Wales ja Põhja-Iirimaa on Inglismaast mägisemad. Ühendkuningriigi kõrgeim tipp on Sotimaal asuv Ben Nevis (1343 m). Suurim järv on Loch Ness Põhja- Iirimaal ja pikim jõgi on Severn (354 km), mis voolab läbi Walesi ja Inglismaa lääneosa. Enamikus paikades on suvi üldiselt jahe ja talv pehme, vihma sajab aastaringselt. LINN JA MAA Suurbritannia on rahvarohke riik. Neli inimesi viiest elab linnades. Kõige tihedamini asustatud on Inglismaa, eriti kaguosas Londoni ümbruses. London on üks maailma suurimaid kultuurikeskusi. Ühendkuningriigis on ulatuslik teedevõrk ja arvukalt kiirteid ning Londoni Heathrow´i lennujaam on maailma kõige tihedama rahvusvahe...
Britain is more famous for pop music than it is for classical composers or jazz musicians. Names such as The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, George Michael and The Spice Girls are known world wide but little do people know of our other musicians not in the pop world. The origins of music in Britain lie in the songs sung and dance music played by ordinary people. Passed from village to village and handed down in the unwritten form from generation to generation. Different trends Over the last thirty or so years British pop music has led the world in its range and quality, starting several new trends. Britain, along with the US, was the main contributor in the development of rock and roll, and Britain has provided some of the most famous bands, including The Beatles and many others. Britain was at the forefront of punk music (see below) in the 1970s with bands such as the Sex Pistols and T...
Charles Dickens Charles John Huffam Dickens was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth in Hampshire, the second of eight children to John Dickens n 7 February 1812. The 12-year-old Dickens began working ten hour days in a Warren's boot-blacking factory. In May 1827, Dickens began work in the office of Ellis and Blackmore as a law clerk. At the age of seventeen, he became a court stenographer and, in 1830, met his first love, Maria Beadnell. Maria's parents disapproved of the courtship and effectively ended the relationship when they sent her to school in Paris. In 1834, Dickens became a political journalist, reporting on pa...

Briti talent Vaatasin 9.märtsil kanal 11-st "Briti talendi" 2016. aasta viimast poolfinaali. Saatejuhid olid Anthony McPartlin ja Declan Donnelly. Kohtunike toolides istusid Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon ja David Williams. Viimases poolfnaalis osales üheksa võistlejat. 1. Esimesena olid laval Oxfordi tantsutrupp, Elite Squad Royals. Nad esitasid väga energilise, vaimuka ja fantaasia rohke tantsu, kus kuninganna Elizabeth tantsis laudadel ja tegi tänavatantsu. 2. Järgmisena esines ema ja tütre lauluduo, Ana ja Fia Almanda. Emal ja tütrel on olnud raskeid aegu, kuid nad on õnnelikud, et on perena koos. Nad esitasid ilusa ja südantliigutava loo "Wind Beneath My Wings" Bette Midleri poolt, mis läks kõigile saalis viibijatele hinge. Nende hääled olid väga pehmed ning ema hääl oli eriti tugev ja võimas, arvan, et Ana oleks võinud isegi üksi lau...

15. Victorian times Life and conditions of Victorian people Children were expected to help towards the family budget. They often worked long hours in dangerous jobs and in difficult situations for a very little wage. For example, there were the climbing boys employed by the chimney sweeps; boys and girls working down the coal mines, crawling through tunnels too narrow and low to take an adult. Some children worked as errand boys, crossing sweepers, shoe blacks, and they sold matches, flowers and other cheap goods. During the Victorian era, the population grew immensely. At the end of 19th century the population had grown three times bigger in Great Britain! That made wages much lower, because more people were looking for jobs. Many people couldn't afford places to live and had to live on the streets. Slums started appearing in bigger towns. Crime rate was also rising because of this: many homeless child...

BRITISH CULTURE Etiquette Table of contents Everyday etiquette Time Eating etiquette English literature Sports Everyday Etiquette In general the British prefer to be introduced to strangers, if at all possible wait for a third party introduction when meeting someone new. Great Britain (especially England) is a non touching culture. When greeting someone a handshake accompanied by a "Pleased to meet you" is appropriate. When departing be sure to shake everyone's hand, a general group wave as is often done in the United States is not looked on favorably. Strong eye contact is not overly common among strangers and casual acquaintances, too much eye contact is considered and invasion of privacy. Eye contact is used when one really wants to make a point, when speaking with close friends, and when interest in a person or topic wants to be stressed. Bad To...
In 1998 compensation claims cost 6.8 billion pounds in Britain. That's a massive amount of money to pay. Let's put that number in context. If you are a sports fan, you could afford a 248-season contract for one of the most paid basketball players in the world, Lebron James. At that time it was eight times the budget, which was approved by the Estonian Government. So it was a heavy sum to pay. In Britain I think they can only blame themselves. You see, unlike many other nations, the UK has no single core constitutional document. In this sense, it is said not to have a written constitution, but much of the British constitution is embodied in written documents, within statues, court judgments and treaties. So in my opinion that's a stupid system. Because if you watch other countries how much do they pay for compensation claims then it's nothing. Though in other countries there are huge sums what civilians get from companies. A former femal...
Report The aim of this report is to compare Estonian and British students opinion on educational system. We wrote down our opinion on the 6th of september 2012 in our english class. We had 12 students who gave an opinion about the Estonian educational system. Corporal punishment is illegal in British and Estonian schools. 62% of British childrens think that it would be needful but only 31% Estonian childrens have the same opinion. Actually it could be not banned, because if they used controlled corporal punishment it is not likely to be harmful. I would argue that there were actually fewer discipline problems back in the old days when corporal punishment was more common. Most school in England require children to wear school uniform. Estonian children no longer wear uniforms but few decades ago they wore uniforms. 74% British students and 39% Estonian students believes that school uniforms ...
All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria Remarque Character List Paul Bäumer - A young German soldier fighting in the trenches during World War I. Paul is the protagonist and narrator of the novel. He is, at heart, a kind, compas-sionate, and sensitive young man, but the brutal expe-rience of warfare teaches him to detach himself from his feelings. His account of the war is a bitter invective against sentimental, romantic ideals of warfare. Read an in-depth analysis of Paul Bäumer. Stanislaus Katczinsky - A soldier belonging to Paul's company and Paul's best friend in the army. Kat, as he is known, is forty years old at the beginning of the novel and has a family at home. He is a resourceful, inventive man and always finds food, clothing, and blankets whenever he and his friends need them. Albert Kropp - One of Paul's classmates who serves with Paul in the Second Company. An intelligent, speculative young man, Kropp is one of Paul...

Philip Larkin poetry analysis For my poetry analysis paper I chose Philip Larkin's works, because he was the first British poet whose works I read. I think that his poems are interesting. They reveal much about Larkin's life and about the social issues in the 20th century. Larkin is also considered to be one of the greatest English poets in the 20th century. I think that Larkin was quite interested in politics. For example his poem ´´Talking in Bed´´ begins with the lines /Talking in bed ought to be easiest, Lying together there goes back so far/. At first it gives the reader an idea that he is talking about two lovers, but actually he is talking about England and USA. He describes the darkness that is creeping up. In my opinion he is talking about USA, which is beginning to creep up on England or on Europe. And because of that England is becoming a less dominant and more isolated place. He is s...
Robert Falcon Scott and his team Terra Nova Robert Falcon Scott born in seaside Devon, United Kingdom in 1868. In the 1889, he was promoting to lieutenant in the British Navy. First journey to Antarctica was discovering in 1901-1904 with Ernest Shackleton. In 1098, he married with Kathleen Bruce and in 1909 born son Peter. Scott was a hero in England because he made a trip to Antarctica but no one had yet reached the South Pole so Scott was ready to be first. When Scott was 25 years old, he purchased a whaling ship with name on it Terra Nova. For the trip to South Pole, they packed the ship tightly. For the South Pole expedition British had in their ship many animals like Siberian dogs and ponies. They bring 10 ponies to the Pole but they didn`t know that they going to die. When they bring them, to the Antarctic they helped British but in South Pole not. Scott followed the route mapped by Ernest Shackleton in 1909. This means that it in...

Germany seeing Russia mobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was then drawn in against Germany and Austria- Hungary. Germany attacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war. Then Japan entered the war. Later, Italy and the United States would enter on the side of the allies. Imperialism: empires got bigger and with that the competition between the empires grew.

HENRY MOORE Henry Moore was born on the 30th of July in 1898. He was an English sculptor and artist. He was best known for his abstract bronze sculptures which are located around the world. He was also the most celebrated sculptor of his time, and the second part of his career, in particular, demonstrated that Modernist sculpture was surprisingly adaptable to official needs. In this sense, Moore was the contemporary equivalent of the great Neo Classical sculptors such as Canova and Thorwaldsen. Moore was born in Castleford as the son of a mining engineer. He became well-known through his large-scale abstract cast bronze and carved marble sculptures, and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. His ability in later life to fulfill large-scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Yet he lived frugally and most of the money he earned went towards s...
BRITI 60-NDATE POP- JA ROCKMUUSIKA Koostasid: Jakko Viilo, Tauri Udras 1950.aastatel peeti Suurbritanniat rock-muusika ääremaaks. Suurbritannial polnud erilisi staare. Cliff Richardi esiletõus oli paljutõotav. Tema laulu "Move It" võis pidada ehtsaks briti rock'iks. 1950.aastate teisel poolel tekitas Inglismaal elevust ka muusikastiil "Skiffle", mida võiks iseloomustada kui "igamehe muusikat". Selle rahvalähedase stiiliga tegelemiseks polnud vaja erilist muusikalist haridust. 60.aastate briti rock-muusikat võib jagada kaheks: mersey beat ja rhythm and blues. Mersey beat Põhjapoolsetes tööstuslinnades (Manchester, Liverpool) esile kerkinud väikeste ansamblite muusika. Seda stiili iseloomustab lihvitud mitmehäälne vokaalpartii. Lauludes kasutati ansamblimängijate endi kirjutatud tekste ja muusikat.Tuntuimad esindajad: The Beatles, The Searchers. Londoni rhythm and blues Sai alguse 1960. aasta...

She was plump and pretty. Drunkards, she used to urge to join her at the church, called her the Jesus Belle. She was loved by men and attracted attention, many of drunkards stopped in the street when Jeanette’s mother walked past and raised their hats to her. She was very religious person. Louie considered church as her family more than her own family. “My mother stood up and said she believed this was right: that women had specific circumstances for their ministry, that the Sunday School was one of them, the Sisterhood another, but the message belonged to the men.” She believed that praying could solve all the problems and people like her were meant to be separated fr...

2016. aasta Nobeli füüsikapreemia võitjad Sellel aastal võitsid Nobeli füüsikapreemia kolm Briti teadlast: David J. Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane ja J. Michael Kosterlitz. Nad avastasid tahketel materjalidel ootamatuid käitumisviise ning lõid nende kummaliste omaduste selgitamiseks ka matemaatilise raamistiku. Nende avastused on toonud kaasa olulisi läbimurdeid mateeria teoreetilistesse käsitlustesse ja loonud perspektiivikaid võimalusi uudsete materjalide loomiseks. Michael Kosterlitz ja David Thouless lükkasid 1970ndatel aastatel ümber tollal kehtinud teooria, mille kohaselt ei olnud ülijuhtivus õhukestes aine kihtides võimalik. Nad näitasid, kuidas ülijuhtivus toimib madalatel temperatuuridel ja seletasid faasivahetuse mehhanismi, mis viib temperatuuri tõusul ülijuhtivuse kadumiseni. David J. Thouless sündis 21. septembril 1934. aastal šotimaal. Thouless sai füüsika professoriks Washingtoni Ülikoolis 1980. aastal. Ta ...

Tema disain on ajaloohõnguline, mis jälgib Suur-Britannia sotsiaalmajanduslikke ja kultuurilist iseloomu, mis on ka põhjuseks, miks peetakse teda Briti üheks kultuurilisemaks disaineriks.

American English Take-home exam 1) Discuss the significance of American English in the English-speaking world. English is one the most widely used languages in the world and globally acknowledged as the lingua franca. It is also the dominant business language. For these facts already, English has a great importance in the today’s world. As the United States of America is one of the leading countries of the world, American English has a certain authority as well. It is now an inescapable fact that America, through its worldwide influence and massive entertainment industry is the mighty power-house that drives the English language. Although British English is considered to be more sophisticated and prestigious than American English, the latter is clearly more featured in television, music, video games and internet, naturally appealing more to English learners than Brit...
had no direct experience of World War I and because he is Jewish. He holds on to the romantic prewar ideals of love and fair play, yet, against the backdrop of the devastating legacy of World War I, these values seem tragically absurd. As a Jew and a nonveteran, Cohn is a convenient target for the cruel and petty antagonism of Jake and his friends. Read an in-depth analysis of Robert Cohn. Bill Gorton - Like Jake, a heavy-drinking war veteran, though not an expatriate. Bill uses humor to deal with the emotional and psychological fallout of World War I. He and Jake, as American veterans, share a strong bond, and their friendship is one of the few genuine emotional connections in the novel. However, Bill is not immune to the petty cruelty that characterizes Jake and Jake's circle of friends. Mike Campbell - A constantly drunk, bankrupt Scottish war veteran. Mike has a terrible temper, which most often manifests itself during his extreme...

Postimpressionism Postimpressionism on 19. sajandi lõpu maalikunsti vool Stiven Danilov 12a Postimpressionism Postimpressionism on 19. sajandi lõpu maalikunsti vool, mis kasvas välja impressionismist. Terminit "postimpressionism" kasutas esimesena briti kunstnik ja kriitik Roger Fry selleks, et kirjeldada prantsuse kunsti arengut pärast Édouard Manet 'd. Fry kasutas seda terminit siis, kui ta 1910 organiseeris näituse "Manet ja postimpressionism". Postimpressionismi ära tundmine Postimpressionistid arendasid impressionismi: nad jätkasid eredate ja paksude värvide ning eristuvate pintslitõmmete kasutamist ning maalisid samamoodi realistlikke teemasid. Kuid postimpressionistid kaldusid rohkem geomeetrilisi vorme rõhutama, samuti väljendusliku mõju saavutamiseks vorme moonutama ning ebaloomulikke ja meelevaldseid värve kasuta...
