The Middle Ages The Middle Ages are one of the most turbulent periods in English history. The Middle Ages are so called as the middle period between the decline of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. The Middle Ages started in 1066. with the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest. William the Conqueror took all the lands from the Saxon English and gave these to French nobles. Normans were known as great builders. This is assured by the fact that many great castles and other buildings, including the Tower of London, were built during the Norman Conquest. In 1086. Domesday Book was compiled. It is a detailed survey of England ordered by William the Conqueror. The
Years 1154-1485 Henry I was the first unquestioned ruler. One of the most important kings in the Middle Ages. He had lands in Britain & France. Then the government was the monarch, a person, not a place. He had more land than any pervious king. After his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, he also ruled the lands south of Anjou. His empire stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. England provided most of its wealth, but the heart was Anjou. Henry II began to regain royal control. During the war some barons had become very powerful. He pulled down some of their castles

The Tower in the Middle Ages The Tower of London, that formidable symbol of England's national heritage, served as a royal residence as well as a prison in the medieval period. The monarch traditionally spent the night at the Tower prior to his or her coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. It has been the stage on which much of England's dramatic but often sad and bloody saga of royal history has been played out. The founding of the Tower The Tower of London was founded by King William the Conqueror. After his coronation on Christmas Day, 1066, William hastily ordered the erection of a wooden fortress between the Thames and the ancient Roman wall which then surrounded London. William began the building of what is now termed as the White Tower ten years later. A rectangular stone keep of Caen stone, designed as an impregnable fortress and as an impressive and awesome demonstration of his power to the Londoners. With ramparts which wer...

The Price of Everlasting Beauty I read Oscar Wilde's book called "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It talks about a man who never ages, instead a portrait of him ages. Dorian can be forever beautiful but is it worth it? Dorian realizes that he cannot be young forever and wishes that the portrait would age not him but he does not think about the consequence. Lord Henry points out that Dorian cannot be beautiful and young forever and Dorian wishes that the painting would age not him. I think this it not worth it because everyone around Dorian will grow old and eventually die. He would see the people he cares about dying.

In summer, it's filled with outdoor cafés and is home to countless openair concerts, handicraft fairs and medieval markets. In winter, an annual Christmas Market enchants the crowds on the square, as does the town's Christmas tree (a tradition whose roots stretch back to 1441), which stays up for a month or more. Town Hall Square has also become the traditional centre of the Old Town Days festival, a modern version of a medieval carnival. Traditions from the Middle Ages are kept alive here, including parades, a knights' tournament, a parrotshooting contest and the election of the May Count. Tallinn`s late Gothic Town Hall building is one of the most famed symbols of the city, recognized throughout Estonia as a venerable, unique architectural treasure. The Town Hall was established on the central square, probably at the beginning of 13th century. In 14021404, the building was substantially reconstructed. The exterior we know today dates from this

Ooperi helilooja ja libreto autor oli Jarek Kasar, esinejanimega Chalice. Teine libreto autor ja lavastaja oli Uku Uusberg. Kunstnik oli Jan Tamson. Laval näitlesid ja laulsid Hannaliisa Uusmaa, Jarek Kasar ja Uku Uusberg. Etenduses tegi kaasa ka noorteorkester Reaalmazoor, mida dirigeeris Edmar Tuul. Esitati Jarek Kasari loomingut, mis oli valminud spetsiaalselt selleks projektiks. Muusika oli väga omapärane ja erinev Chalice tavapärasest loomingust. Etendus oli väga eriline ja minu teada pole Eestis varem midagi taolist tehtud. Ooperi läbivaks teemaks oli, et kas minna katusele seiklema või püsida kodus.

R N U Pärnu is a seaside town. It is situated on the south-west coast of Estonia. It is a very popular holiday destination in summer. It's also situated between the sea and the Pärnu river. Pärnu was first mentioned in the 12th century, so it is older 700 years old. In the middle ages Pärnu was a very important trading centre. It was a member of the Hanseatic League. Pärnu became a resort town in the 1830s when a group of businessmen founded the first bathing establishment. Before that today's Beach Park's area was just wet pasture. In the 1930s Pärnu cecame especially popular with Finns, Swedes, Latvians and Lithuanians. In Soviet times, however, people from the west were not allowed to stay in Pärnu for the night
Brighton Brighton is a seaside town on the south coast of England. It is a very popular holiday destination. Brighton was a tiny fishing village. It grew into a town when the railway opened. There were no big houses, shopping centers or hotels, only small fishermen's cottages. Children played in the streets or made sandcastles. People used to swim in the sea or go for walks on the beach. Brighton is not a small quiet town anymore. Now you can find many 5-star hotels, cinemas, restaurants and small cafes by the marina. Brighton also offers a lot of people interested of history. They can also visit a lot of museums and antique shops. Nowadays, most tourists visit Brighton for a relaxing break in a seaside resort. Brighton has a lot to offer visitors of all ages.
Naming children has always been important to families and authorities. A long time ago, when people lived in small communities, only one name was given to a baby. As the population increased, there were too many people living in the same place and having the same name. Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, depending on the part of Britain, families began to add an extra name to baby's first name. Many surnames were given after a person's father or mother. In the Middle Ages the name of a newborn baby was not said out before christening. It was a widespread belief that witches and fairies used the names of their future victims in their spells. In some parts of Britain people used to call each other by nicknames in order to avoid the sound of their real names reaching the ears of cruel fairies. I think it's pretty weird to call each other by nicknames because of cruel faries.

pedestrians. There still exists another gate to Toompea Short Leg. It was laid in the 15th century. The massive wooden gate with ironworks dates from the 17th century. Long Leg was used by vehicles. Until the 20th century there was no way down form the western side of Toompea except for a foot-path. The stairs were built in 1903 and are called Patkul Stairs. The name Patkul itself comes from Johann Patkul. He had worked against the Swede, so Patkul was remembered by Russians. In the Middle Ages that part of Toompea where the castle stands was called the Small Fortress. The rest of the hill with the homes of the feudal lords and bishop of Tallinn was called the Big Fortress. The main building, the centre of the Small Fortress, was the Convention House- a building where the members of the knighthood lived. In the 1920s the reconstruction of the building was carried out. The northern part of it became the seat of the State Assembly of the Estonian Republic.
The Estonian hills were formed of the soil piled up by the ice sheet. The direction of our oblong hills clearly shows the direction in which the ice moved. The tens of thousands of boulders of all sizes and shapes that are scattered all over the territory of Estonia were brought here from Scandinavian Mountains. Scientists know now that the great Ice Age was not the only ice age in the earth's history. Millions of years earlier there were other ice ages. Scientists know, too, that the time we are living in may be just one of the pleasant periods between the times of spreading ice sheets of an Ice Age. What do we know about Ice Age mammals? The woolly mammoth was a prehistoric elephant about the size of a modern elephant.This animal lived near the glaciers. It had a shaggy coat of red hair and a thick layer of fat under its skin. On its head and shoulders were humps like camel's humps. Its wool-coat and its fat helped

Essay: Modern electronic games Electronic games have become very popular among people of all ages nowadays due to the easy access to computers, consoles and internet.

The impact of excessive visual medium is evident as a large number of children these days start wearing spectacles from an early age
Great Coastal Gate & Fat Margaret's Tower Good morning ladies and gentlemens, and welcome to Great Coastal Gate and Fat Margaret's Tower. Before we begin the tour, I`d like to tell you a little about their history. The Great Coastal Gate (Suur Rannavärav) was the most important gate in Tallinn. It was built as a defence on the seaward side of Tallinn, but also to impress visitors coming in from the sea. In the Middle Ages the Great Coastal Gate was about 300 footsteps from the harbour. Legends say, that during storms, the waves reached the gate. . In the 16th century, a powerful cannon tower was built next to the Great Coastal Gate. It had 155 loopholes, diameter of 25 meters, and a height of about 20 meters. The tower was named Roosikrantsi, but as it was the stoutest tower in the Wall, people started to call it "Fat Margaret". Through history, the cannon tower has also served as a

different kinds of leisure but, I believe, the main part of our lives plays music. The cause of this is clear and I want to explain you the role of music in the modern society. First of all, a huge benefit of music is a really wide variety of styles. Classic, hip-hop or different types of rock are extremely popular with youngsters. So, in the world of guitar chords and dancing sounds of violins everyone can find something he really loves. Secondly, there are not any limitations in ages. Teenagers and adults can listen to the same music and not be worry that it is shamefully. No one will laugh if you like classical or rock music. What's more, music helps us to live. When someone feels lonely or depressed he just turns his player on and listens to his favorite songs. And all his sadness goes away. So, music for us is also one of the ways to relax. In conclusion, I want to say that music is a great support in role of the modern society

What you've done during the three weeks after Christmas holidays? Well, I've been to school for all those weeks. Last week we watched a really interesting film. The film was about secrets in our Universe. It made me feel more self- confident and I realized that the World is about me and what I want, not about what I will never archive or never get, because if I really want something and work for it, I know I will get what I want. Well, at least some of it.
The Printed Word Will Never Die Books have been around for ages. People have used to aquire new knowledge and experience for a very long time which makes books the oldest source of new knowledge. For some youth, reading is a very hard thing to do, some just cannot pick up a book and start reading, most would rather hang out with friends or play computergames. Furthermore, some youth also prefer watching movies to reading, because a film is a lot easier to follow, reading a book is sometimes exhausting and tiring. But all that said, there is something
between intimate companions.The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards .. The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.hModern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth- century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models.

coal mines. In 1712 Thomas Newcomen introduced an improved version of Savery's engine. James Watt improved it even further and later came up with an idea on how to use a steam engine to power something with wheels. Alright, but why are they important? Steam engines are veryveryvery important because it was the dominant source of power well into the 20th century. They actually were the moving force behind the Industrial Revolution. So no steam engines = no Industrial Revolution = Middle Ages that last approximately forever, give or take a few days But how do they work? One of the 2 important parts is the boiler which contains water to be boiled. The second important part of a steam engine are the pistons. In James Watt's engine the pistons are moved by condensing water which causes vacuum which is created on both sides of the piston to make it move back and forth. Okay, okay I get the point.

The Renaissance Between 14th and 16th century in Europe From French word rebirth It was an age of growth in Europe. New, powerful city states emerged. A new middle class had more and more money to spend. Great artists, writers and thinkers lived during this time. During the Middle Ages many people who lived in the countryside worked on the land that they got from the noblemen. In return, they were protected by them Between the middle and the end of the 14th century, the plague, also called "Black Death" killed almost half of Europe's population. It spread most rapidly in the larger cities where many people lived. This led to economic depression. When the plague slowly decreased in the 15th century, the population in Europe began to grow
Protestantism and other religious reforms by J. Calvin and M. Luther. For that, the pope named Henry VIII the Fidei Defensor, meaning Defender of the Faith 4. Why did Mary I get the nickname Bloody Mary? Because during her reign, England became officially a Roman Catholic country, Parliament persecuted a lot of protestants and over 300 people who were burned at the stake. 5. Historians often speak about different ages or times in British history. When (in which centuries) were the following ages: Elizabethian, Georgian, Victorian. Characterise each of them (2 3 sentences). Elizabethian time started in the middle of 16th century and ended in the beginning of 17th century. During Elizabeth I reign, England became independent of the Pope in religious matters, England's overseas expansion began. It was a prosperous period. Georgian time was from the beginning of 18th
Parliament as the sovereign legislative body for all of Britain. This development has resulted in political, social and religious conflicts, as well as evolving governmental and constitutional institutions. The early political history of the British Isles is the story of four independent countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland), but a dominant English political and military expansionism over the century. Near the end of the Middle Ages, the role of government in England underwent many changes. From the Magna Carta to the creation of the English Parliament, England laid the foundation for representative government and regulated sovereignty. The Magna Carta clearly defined the ancient rights and privileges of the people 1. It established the principle that the king no longer had absolute control, and prevented English rulers from taking advantage of their subjects. Later, England would institute a Parliament to allow
They attempt a fraud - Valerie will be acting as Josiahs ex-wife. All goes well, but then a man shows up in the town - the man who knows Josiahs ex-wife's mother. Thats why the man was found dead in Miss Pebmarsh's hotel room - she was the mother of Josiahs first wife. The Bland's decided to kill the unknown man or he might ruin their scam. Josiah and Valerie Bland are put to jail. To sum it up, it is a well written story. It's a good book for ages 16 and up. I'd reccomend this book for my friends because it's a got a quite intresting plot.
Tourism For ages people have had a constant urge to travel different and new places. Today tourism is a global multi-billion industry and essential as an income for many countries. What are the pros and cons of it? Should we limit the flow of tourists or let them come and sometimes stay forever? As I mentioned before, one of the most positive thing about tourism is money. Basicly tourists creat jobs and give people a chance to do something with their lives. The money and taxes,
subsequent conversion to Christianity, and the loss of their Celtic languages. It is mostly through contemporary Roman and Christian sources that their mythology has been preserved. The Celts peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of Great Britain and Ireland) left vestigial remnants of their forebears' mythologies, put into written form during the Middle Ages. Though the Celtic world at its apex covered much of western and central Europe, it was not politically unified nor was there any substantial central source of cultural influence or homogeneity; as a result, there was a great deal of variation in local practices of Celtic religion (although certain motifs, for example the god Lugh, appear to have diffused throughout the Celtic world). Inscriptions to more than three hundred deities, often equated
Oxford street 24 London, UK March 30, 2014 Dear Katy, How are you? I am sorry that I havent written to you in ages. I would love to visit you but I don't have any time. Last week I went to London. It was so fun. I wished that you could be there. In London we went sightseeing. I saw the The houses of Parliament and Big Ben. From there across the river Thames we saw a giant Ferris wheel London eye. London eye is 135 metres tall. It is the tallest ferris Wheel in Europe. We also saw the Bukcingham palace. The royal family lives there. We visited a lot of parks. The first park we visited was Hyde park
Report A task was given to write a report which conveys the results of a survey about shopping habits of people of different ages and gender. The results of the survey were mostly the same, although there are some differences in answers. How much does one shop? About 1/3 of the 9 people surveyed said that they go shopping once a week. Others said that they shopped at least two times a week and it takes about 30 minutes for men and a hour for women to buy groceries and at least an hour if it's a shopping spree. How much do you spend on your hobbies?
also winds down. The actors who played in this play aren't famous, but I think they should be . I didn't find the content of the play itself really interesting, but the actors made it enjoyable. For me the content was a little bit too childish, unrealistic which is one thing I hate by plays, films and books , but still it made me laugh , the jokes where really felicitous . In conclusion I think this play is suitable for people of all ages , there is something for old folks and a little bit more for younger audience . Of course it can be really interesting for those who love fairytales .
Waters price will be higher than a kg of gold. On the other hand when people will devide in two diffrent groups there won't be such a massive robot producing. And robots are not the only good improvment in technology. The scientists might come up with a new source of enegry, maybe in fifty years time we will be able to control lightning and get electricity from it ? I can't say that the climate will not get warmer in fifty years, but that is natural The world has had five Ice ages. The cilmate changes all the time, there are warmer periodes and colder periodes. In conclusion I think in fifty years time world will be a better place to live maybe not so much healthier than it is today but better for sure.I think people will manage controlling robots and will try to eat healthier.
