Easter traditions in Estonia Easter traditions are rather young in Estonia. Our grandmothers took the eastern habits from BalticGermans without taking over the meanings painted eggs just seemed so beautiful. So for us, their grandchildren, painting eggs has no connection with religion traditions. It is more like a way of expressing one's creativity. We use different colors and techniques: painting with herbs, watercolors, markers, special colors etc. There aren't any certain patterns to use, everyone can do it any way they like. We also give colored eggs as presents to friends and children are cracking the eggs. More than Easter Estonians have traditionally celebrated a spring. There is a day

In many European countries, the biggest forest you can find is the size if Hiiumaa, but half of our country is forests with many species of wild-animals. Thirdly, we have our own language. Estonian is one the most unique languages in the whole wide world. Sadly, many youngsters do not want to speak it and instead, they speak English and ohter languages, which seem more interesting. We are losing our native speakers fast and I am sure, that the grandchildren of our generation will not speak Estonian like we do now. Even though I just described some of the reasons to be a proud Estonian, I am sure, that one day I will leave again. I am not sure if I am going to come back as an 35-year-old or as a pensionier, but I shall return and try to make ou country an even better place to be.
S. Martin Greenfield survived the bitter cold of the death march by wearing layers of discarded Gestapo uniform shirts he obtained while working as a tailor in Auschwitz. He was 14 when he was forced going to Auschwitz. He got tattooed with his father. He listened to his father´s advice. He was beaten up when he purposely ripped the shirts. After Auschwitz he got a job as a tailor. Now he has his own brand. He dresses presidents and other important people. He has a new family (son, grandchildren). Anita Lasker-Wallfisch survived by playing the cello in a makeshift orchestra at Auschwitz, and went on to become a founding member of the English Chamber Orchestra. Music saved her. She met her sister at the camp. She was moved. Then they were saved. She went to England and become a musician. I think that those people are very lucky to be alive and I am grateful for that. Unfortunately others who died weren't so lucky. Holocaust is a very tragic event but sadly we can´t change the past
treasures. Unfortunately, they are not found in Estonia, but we still have something to value and draw more attention to – it’s wood. Today, forests cover up to 55% of our country’s territory but it’s possible that this number might start decreasing quickly unless we start taking the state of forests more seriously. A good forest grows approximately 70 years so the young peole who plant trees on their land, won’t probably be building houses with them, instead their children or grandchildren will. We dream of Estonia, where even the children of our kids know what the word Forest means and can walk there any time, pick berries or go skiing in the winter. Since we didn’t want to waste what we were drawing attention to, we used Jõgeva’s wood industry Valmeco AS’s production residues. For paintings, we used acrylics. The sculpture is being kept above the water by a ferry made out of empty plastic bottles.
And what happens if the two sides can't agree? What would happen then if state benefits were cut completely? If this also makes Britain more attractive for overseas visitors, so well and good. You'd only use capital punishment if you were absolutely sure that you'd convicted the right person. It'd be O.K. if they recognised the quality of the songs their grandmother had taught them and went on to sing them to their own grandchildren. 8.2 Questions based on conditions with sentence adverbials " then" and "so" We punish murderers and rapists on Earth, so why shouldn't the same people rot in hell? but if you want to go to a nicer locality, you can spend all day getting there. Then how do you go about making your own arrangements? Other people are part of the environment and they have a right to react to wrong-doing to protect society.
in summer. When I get 40 I will go to live abroad for a year. We will travel to many countries, learn different cultures and get many new friends. When I'm 50, my first sons' third wife will give birth to my first grandchild, which will give me and my husband great joy. In my late 60s my children will be grown-up. I don´t bother to work any more and I will stay at home to enjoy my life with my husband. We will go travelling time to time, spend time with our grandchildren and organize great garden parties. In my spear time I will write my travelling stories.
had kids, you will probably work day and night to make as much money as possible, and you are living a family life. In next ten years after 40 you teach your children how to be man and woman, get them a new car, ask them about your dates and live your life at maximum speed. When you become 60 you are going to see your children to marry and you can feel proud of them. You have accomplished something- raised successful human beings and now you can raise your grandchildren and be the leader of a family. Up to 70 you are doing crosswords, reading books and waiting the moment that you will see god face to face. You have got degrees, good jobs and then it is time for oneself. Every age is unique and special, because of that I think that there is not a best age. In every day of your life you accomplish something that makes this day memorable. Developmental changes in life all play a significant role to make us who we shall become in each period of our lifelong
may have to be repurchased. Environmental Concerns - E-book readers require various toxic substances, the disposal of their batteries in particular raises environmental concerns. Certainly it will take time to get used to new things, but as for me, I believe that most of the disadvantages of e-books will be overcome and step by step they will replace the conventional books. And maybe people of my generation will retell their grandchildren unbelievable stories about reading paper books instead of digital versions.

Some of the 37 other participants further along in the project can differentiate plates from cups, tell grass from sidewalk, sort white socks from dark, distinguish doors and windows, identify large letters of the alphabet, and see where people are, albeit not details about them. Linda Morfoot, 65, of Long Beach, Calif., blind for 12 years, says she can now toss a ball into a basketball hoop, follow her nine grandchildren as they run around her living room and "see where the preacher is" in church. "For someone who's been totally blind, this is really remarkable," said Andrew P. Mariani, a program director at the National Eye Institute. "They're able to get some sort of vision." Scientists involved in the project, the artificial retina, say they have plans to develop the technology to allow people to read, write and recognize faces.
recalled his only surviving legitimate daughter Matilda to England and married her to Geoffrey Plantagenet - Henry's relationship with his daughter and son-in- law was not good but he still wished for them to succeed him.

Malia and Sasha attend the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, the same school as attended by Chelsea Clinton, Tricia Nixon Cox, and Archibald Roosevelt, and currently the grandchildren of Vice President Joe Biden. The Obama girls began classes there on January 5, 2009. While in Chicago, both attended the private University of Chicago Laboratory School. In his victory speech on the night of his election, President Obama repeated his promise to Sasha and Malia to get a puppy to take with them to the White House. The selection was slow because Malia is allergic to animal dander; the president subsequently said that the choice had

Everybody was ok with it except of King "King was slumped morosely in the front seat of the car, a beer clenched between his thighs." 11. Account for Albertine's relationship with her mother.

increasing numbers of Central European Jews, especially fleeing from the pogroms of the 1880s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, immigrants were entering the USA at an average of three-quarters of a million a year. In 1900, the population was just over 75 million. This total had doubled by 1950. [3, p.35] Within one or two generations of arrival, most of these immigrant families had come to speak English, through a natural process of assimilation. Grandparents and grandchildren found themselves living in very different linguistic worlds. The result was a massive growth in mother-tongue use of English. [3, p.35] According to the 1990 census, the number of people (over five years of age) who spoke only English at home had grown to over 198 million - 86 per cent of the population. This figure increased to 215 million in the 2000 census. This is almost four times as many mother-tongue speakers as any other nation. [3, p. 36]
whether they know why this is important in terms of environmental protection. We've taken a look at what happens next with drug waste. The author concludes that the awareness of the people in this options is poor. It is recommended that there must be more rules on that how clean the treated wastewater must be. Basic knowledge of recycling should be taught in grade schools. If we teach our kids how to protect the environment, then we have a hope that one day our grandchildren can live in clean world again.

modern, technological, and developed. This, of course, represents cultural arrogance of the worst sort, and a gross misreading of history and anthropology. Recently this view has taken the form that we won the cold war and that the triumph of capitalism over communism is complete. Communism failed because it produced too little at too high a cost. But capitalism has also failed because it produces too much, shares too little, also at too high a cost to our children and grandchildren. Communism failed as an ascetic morality. Capitalism failed because it destroys morality altogether. This is not the happy world that any number of feckless advertisers and politicians describe. We have built a world of sybaritic wealth for a few and Calcuttan poverty for a growing underclass. At its worst it is a world of crack on the streets, insensate violence, anomie, and the most desperate kind of poverty. The fact is that we live in a disintegrating culture

43 44 UNIT 6 THE NORMAN CONQUEST (1066) Pre-reading questions Where do you think the Normans came from – Norway, Denmark, France? What language do you think they spoke? Do you think they made any radical changes in England? How long do you think Norman rule lasted? The invasion As their name suggests, the Normans were people from the north. To be exact, they were the grandchildren of Vikings (Norsemen) who had captured and settled northern France and from whom the territory received the name of Normandy. In 911 the Viking leader Rollo (Rolf) forced the French king to give him the captured land and became the first Duke of Normandy. The Normans soon became French in their language and Christian in their religion. But they were still well known for their fighting skills. When King Edward died without an heir in 1066 1, the Witan chose Harold from

It may only come to life for an instant, showing the possibility of reversal but then snatching it away forever, or it may work its way slowly until the character or situation reverses polarity dramatically. Polarities in politics, sports, war, or relationships can divide us, but they also have the possibility of uniting us when we have been through a struggle together. An old soldier may have more in common with his former enemies than he does with his grandchildren. Polarized family feuds will sometimes dissolve when after many years neither party can remember what all the fighting was about. Polarities in stories form a conceptual framework with which to organize ide as and energy, building up positive and negative charges around selected characters, words, and concepts. T h e y may serve a survival function for us in dramatizing use ful distinctions about behavior, and in identifying patterns in human relationships.
