Topic London Tallinn English College Tallinn 2007 1. Introduction London is the capital city of the United Kingdom and the largest urban area in England. The ancient City of London, to which the name originally belonged, still maintains its medieval boundaries, but the name "London" has long applied more to the whole metropolis that has grown up around it. London has been an important settlement for over two millenniums. It is also one of the world's leading business, financial and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment and even fashion contribute to its status as a major global city. London is a major tourist attraction with four world heritage sites, several royal parks and numerous iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Towe Bridge, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye. 2.

William Shakespeare (1564 1616) Eluloo põhifaktid Shakespeare elust teatakse kindlalt erakordselt vähe; nii vähe, et see on andnud alust kahtlustele, kas sellist kirjanikku nagu Shakespeare üldse olemas oli või on tegemist mitme autori ühistööga. Olgu kuidas on, lugejate jaoks on tähtis, et sellised suurteosed on maailmakirjanduses olemas. William Shakespeare sündis 1564. aastal Kesk- Inglismaal Stratford upon Avonis, kuupäev pole küll kindel, kuid selleks on peetud 23. aprilli. Ta oli oma pere kaheksast lapsest vanim. Williami isa John Shakespeare oli linnas väga austatud mees, kuid kui poiss oli 12-aastane, läks Johni firma pankrotti. William Shakespeare õppis Stratfordi Grammatika koolis. Edasise haridustee kohta andmed puuduvad. 27. novembril 1582. aastal abiellus William talutütar Anne Hathawayga. 26. mail 1853 sündis neil tütar Susanna ja kaks aastat hiljem kaksikud Judith ja Hamneth. Hamneth suri 11-aastaselt. (NB! Nimed on...

Arkady Shilkloper The critic Jeffrey Agrell referred to Shilkloper’s style as: ''Arkady Shilkloper goes to places that horn players aren't supposed to go without a net, map, seat belt, crash helmet, overhead air support, and a note from their mothers.And he does so with extraordinary ease and musicality. I think maybe nobody ever told him "Jazz playing on horn is very difficult, and probably not natural" or perhaps the phrase does not translate into Russian. I'd walk on a camel for a mile to hear this guy. ''Jazz Times Magazine wrote:“His control of the instrument, and his blowing creativity have set a new standard, even Julius Watkins, his idol never produced such results.” Arkady Shilkloper was born in 1956, in Moscow, Russia. He began to study alto horn at the age of six and switched to French horn in 1967. At the age of eleven he entered the Moscow Military Music School. One of most unusual Russian ...

Woman, Satine is a courtesan who works in Moulin Rouge and the man, Christian is a poor writer who writes a play ,,Spectacular Spectacular" for Moulin Rougle and Harold Zidler who is the owner of Moulin Rouge.

London History The Romans AD 43- AD 410 The Romans finally invaded Britain in AD 43 from Kent. The Romans lead by Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain twice before that in 55 and 54 BC but the invasions were unsuccessful. They made their way to the river Thames and sailed up it. The Romans knew it was important to control a crossing point at the river Thames, so they decided to build a settlement on the north bank. Although small settlements had been built on the banks of the Thames, the Romans were the ones who built the first city. They called their city Londinium. The Roman engineers noticed that the point where the swampy river narrowed would make an ideal crossing point, they built London Bridge. Less than 20 years later the native Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans in revenge for mistreatment and burnt Londinium to the ground. The well disciplined Roman army defeated her forces and Londinium was r...

Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore. It is the story of...
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY A century ago communication across any distance was dependent upon the telegraph or letters. No jets crossed the ocean, no television pictures enabled us instantly to see events in any part of the world, there were no worldwide telephone networks and no computers. It is just a short lifetime since humanity first travelled into space and discovered how fragile our planet looks. FROM FIREWORKS TO THE MOON At first glance you might think that there couldn't possibly be anything common between a 13 th century festival in China and the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. However, there is a link and that is that they both relied on the use of rockets. The Chinese first developed rockets by filling bamboo tubes with an explosive made from saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur. The sealed tubes would be thrown onto fires during celebrations because it was thought ...
