SHROVE TUESDAY Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today. Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so the date varies from year to year and falls between February 3 and March 9. Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients. In the UK, pancake races form an important part of the Shrove Tuesday celebrations – an opportunity for large numbers of people, often in fancy dress, to race down streets tossing pancakes. The object of the race is to get to the finishing line first, car
Hadrian’s Wall is an ancient wall which was built in 2nd century by Hadrian, the emperor of Rome from AD 117 to 138, and it marked the northern border of the Roman Empire in Britain. The wall was 80 Roman miles (117 kilometres) long and it is situated in northern Great Britain and stretched from Solway Firth in the west to the Tyne River near Newcastle in the east. It was built to keep the Caledonians of Scotland out of England. Windsor Castle, which is one of the official residents of British monarch, is located in the English country of Berkshire. It is the largest in habited castle in the world and the oldest in continuous occupation, since it dates back to the time of William the Conqueror.

styles and accents of English, they enjoy different sports, they have different values about what things are most important in life and different ideas about the correct way to behave. 10. Standard English is used `naturally' in everyday speech by between 15% and 30% of the population in Britain. Received Pronunciation (RP) is used in everyday speech by only 3% to 12% of the population. So why is Standard English with an RP accent the usual model for people learning British English as a foreign language? What justification can you find for this practise? 11. Can you think of examples of British individualism? Love of the countryside is a good example of individualism and conservatism the countryside represents stability. Also British people are much more reserved than the rest European people and they find it difficult to indicate friendship by open displays of affection. British also like to be different from others, for example, they'll
The stars in the flag show the number of states in the United States. During the Civil War the Soldiers of the South had their own flag. The North won the war and so once again the country had only one flag the Stars and Stripes. The national flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union jack or the Union Flag. The large Red Cross in the flag is the cross of St. George. The other cross is made up of the cross of St. Andrew and the cross of St. Patrick. The British merchant flag is red with the Union Jack in one corner. On the fourth of July, in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed in the Independence Hall. The Liberty Bell was rang to let the people know about the new country. But Britain refused to recognize this fact until1783, when the Americans won the War of Independence. 11) STONEHENGE The Bronze Age stone monument, Stonehenge is set in the middle of Salisbury Plain, in Wiltshire, South-West England

Tallinn Lillekyla Gymnasium Report Legends of Tallinn Tallinn 2009 Introduction I chose the topic ,,Legends of Tallinn", because I had heard some splendid myths about Tallinn from my history lessons and I was eager to widen my horizon. I am quite interested in history in general and I especially love tales about medieval Tallinn. I hope that I will find out some entertaining stories to tell my friends. Legends of Tallinn There are many interesting legends about buildings or sights in Tallinn. Nobody can tell, if they are all true or not, but at least they make the medieval capital much more intriguing and attractive for tourists as for the locals.

Influenced by the social, political and scientific events of the late 19th century and his substantial education, Coubertin developed a passionate belief that sport possessed a power to benefit humankind and encourage peace among the nations of the world. He refused the military career planned for him by his family, as well as renouncing a promising political career. De Coubertin was inspired by his visits to British and American colleges and universities, and set out to improve education. He thought part of this improvement should be sports education, which he considered an important part of the personal development of young people. He conceived of an international competition to promote athletics. A growing international interest in the ancient Olympics, fed by recent archaeological finds at Olympia, De Coubertin devised a plan to revive the Olympic Games at the age of 31.
