There are platypuses and tiny anteaters (echidnas)too, which are the only mammals in the worls that lay eggs. Among the birds are emus, lyrebirds and black swans. When a platypus specimen first reached to Europe people thought it was a fake, sewn together from birds and other animals. The platypus, the strangest of Australia's animals, is a living reminder of ancient, exctinct creatures. The best known animal that lives in Australia is the kangaroo ofcourse. There are about 50 species of kangaroo, ranging in size from the big red kangaroo of the outback to wallabies and smaller ratkangaroos. Kangaroos are marsupials too.

industrialized with factories and manufacturing being central to the economy. Growing and harvesting cotton required large numbers of workers. This work force was made up of about 4 million slaves. By the 1800's, the African slave trade had become illegal. But existing slaves were not freed. Men and women of the North wanted to abolish slavery. The South feared that losing the slaves would have a severe economic impact on cotton plantations. Abraham Lincoln was elected as the President in 1860, seven Southern states left, or seceded, from the United States. They formed the Confederate States of America. In April 1861 four more states seceded, and the Civil War began. In less than 5 years, more than 600,000 men were killed. Five days after the surrender treaty was signed, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a Southern sympathizer. But in the end of the war slavery was abolished. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the United States remained neutral. However,
Ayers Rock was created a national park in 1950. Uluru is also famous for its rock paintings. Reef One of the natural wonders of the modern world is the Great Barrier Reef. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia It is the largest coral reef on earth, extending for 2000 km along the eastern coast. Some scientists estimate that the reef is 30 million years old. The corals consist of tiny animals known as polyps that protect themselves by forming and external skeleton of lime and when the polyp dies its shell hardens. When the number of these little creatures increases, fantastically beautiful shapes that we know as corals are form. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is sometimes referred to as the single largest organism in the world. More than 300 varieties of coral ranging from pale blue to bright yellow can be found. Recently, black coral, the

Farther west the trees disappear and the bushlands begin. The real desert occupies the centre of the Western Plateau. In the very southwest there are thin forests of evergreen trees. Most of Australian trees are kinds of eucalyptus (or gum tree to Australians) and acacia (wattle of Australians). Eucalyptuses give the people timber and eucalyptus oil. Of 600 kinds of acacias the golden wattle, the national flower of Australia, is the best known. Of other trees there grow bottle trees in the savannas, tree ferns in the tropical forests and many others. Lakes Australia has much underground water. There are only few lakes which are full of water only after it rains. The biggest lake is Lake Eyre which is a salt lake. The natural lakes of the interior of continental Australia are salt lakes. Fed by streams and rivers, they receive water rarely. Lake Eyre, Torrens, Frome and Gairdner are the remains of a

The highest top of Australia is Mount Kosciusko (2,2 km above sea level). Australian rocks are rich in gold, polymetallic ores, iron ore, copper, uranium. Much coal is mined in the sedimentary rocks of south-east. The greatest attraction in the Northern Territory is Uluru. It is a huge monolith rock, 862 metres above the sea level, rising out of the desert. The local Aborigines regarded it as a sacred site. No one is sure when the first Aborigines moved into the area but the best evidence suggests that it was at least 10000 years ago. The first graded road was built in 1948 on mount Uluru. Ayers Rock was created as a national park in 1950. Artistically Kata Tjuta is noted for its engravings and its rock piles whereas Uluru is famous for its rock paintings. Both the engravings and the geometric rock piles are believed to have been created by the Spirit Ancestor during the Dreamtime. Waterbodies. There are very few rivers in Australia

Thus, the contemporary meaning of "Métis" typically includes people of both French- and English-speaking heritage. 5. In which of the present provinces did the "classic" Métis culture develop? Who was the most famous leader of the Métis? The "classic" Métis culture emerged near present-day Winnipeg, Manitoba. The most famous Métis leader Louis Riel was the founder of Manitoba and also a central figure in the Red River and North-West resistances. Riel led two popular Métis governments, was central in bringing Manitoba into Confederation, and was executed for high treason for his role in the 1885 resistance to Canadian encroachment on Métis lands. Riel was initially dismissed as a rebel by Canadian historians, although many now sympathize with Riel as a Métis leader who fought to protect his people from the Canadian government. 6. What is the origin of the Inuit people? What other name has been used for them?
One of the most famous and mysterious archaeological sites in the world. One of the mysteries is how it was built at all with the technology of the time. Another is its purpose. It appears to function as a kind on astronomical clock and we know it was used by the Druids for ceremonies marking the passing of the seasons. It appears in number of novels. These days it is not only the interest of tourists but is also a gathering point of certain minority groups. It is now fenced off to protect it from damage. 3. The Roman conquest Julius Caesar's first raid was in 55 BC but the romans left. Ad 43- the Romans came to stay. The army established Roman rule in the south and SW of the country.

lift prices, New Zealand is increasingly becoming a ski destination. Day lift passes for adults range from about $40-$75, and most of the commercial fields have ski schools. All ski equipment can be rented at the ski areas, ski hire ranging from $29-$37 and snowboard hire from $35-$50. Besides commercial fields listed, there are a number of club ski areas around the country that are open to visitors. Nordic skiing is popular in the South Island. One such area can be found near Wanaka. Growing numbers of mountains are being opened up for ski-planes and heliskiing. The Tasman Glacier, for instance, has 13km of deep powder, as well as stunning views. Bungy jumping, parapenting & skydiving New Zealand is the home of bungy jumping, centred on Queenstown, though it has spread to numerous other sites, including Taupo and Hanmer Springs.

the earth was formed and cycles of life and nature were begun. Aboriginal legends, songs and dances tell of powerful spirits who created the land and peaople durin the Dreamtime. There was no written Aboriginal language. Most of the 600 tribes spoke different dialects and rarely met except on ceremonial occasions. The tradition of Dreamtime united the people. Rock paintings showing this creation period can be found all over the country. Some of the most spetacular and best preserved can be seen at rock galleries in Kakadu National Park and other parts of nortehrn Australia. The arrival of white people gradually brought an end to the traditional Aboriginal way of life. People began to build and settle on Aborigine tribal lands. Today, most Aborigines live in cities and towns or in isolated settlements near tribal lands. Few continue the old nomadic way of life. In recent years, white Australians have been more sensitive to the Aborigines' situation. The

organising town. The athletes had to swear that they would compete with honour and respect the rules. The victors enjoyed great honours and on returning to their cities their compatriots pulled down part of the walls for them to enter. They were also given special privileges and high office. Baron Pierre de Coubertin (January 1, 1863-September 2, 1937), born as Pierre de Frédy, was a French pedagogue and historian, but is best known as the founder of the modern Olympic Games. He was born in Paris into a French aristocratic family. As a young man he was an avid sportsman with rowing being one of his favourites, also practicing the sports of boxing, fencing and horse-riding. 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
happened once or twice we swiftly replace them. The second mine theory was that maybe some scientist or just amateurs want to learn something new, change experiences with others. But so many people can also make it uncomfortable and even stressful unless you go simply relax and go with the flow, or get there truly early or late. Wear something sensible and take a break, its a long, long day. So I am not sure about that theory is true. Anyway Chelsea Flower Show is so popular that it is always a sell-out. Last minute Chelsea wannabes hang out on street corners with signs asking for tickets, like with some world famous musical. 5 Most of the people who have been there want to go back there. Maybe it is because of that in Chelsea Flower Show country meets town; where chic urbanites drink champagne and wear their designer outfits alongside elderly squires in tattered
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 that the loud explosions would protect them. It was not long before the ancient Chinese realised the military potential of these devices and primitive rockets were used to repel a Mongol invasion in 1232 AD. Word of these new amazing weapons quickly spread around the world and soon rockets were being used in military operations in North Africa and Europe. During the 15 th and 16th centuries they were widely used in naval battles to set fire on enemy ships. Around this time they also started being used for more peaceful purposes again
animals are often strikingly lifelike and artistic. Many of these ancient relics have been destroyed by the ravages of nature and of man. Wind and water have worn away and continue to wear away, unprotected sites. And the paintings and carvings are increaslibly falling victim to vandalism: they have been painted over, spoilt with knives, even used for target practice. The American Rock Art Research Association protects rock-art sites. 2) THE FAVOURITE SPORT IN BRITAIN The most popular sport is probably football. Two kinds of football is played in Great Britain. One of them, which is called association football, is played all over Europe. The other kind: rugby football is also very popular in New Zealand, France, and some other European countries. English boys play it at school, and in public parks. When they grow up, they play as members of important amateur teams or as a professional in teams competing in football ,,leagues". Professional football is as much a business
Over a time settlers from many other countries joined the English in America the French, the Spaniards , the Dutch. Africans were first brought to Virginia in 1619. By 1770 there were thirteen British colonies in America who weren't pleased with their lives because they had to pay high taxes. In 1773, the 'Boston Tea Party' took place and it made the British mad, so in 1775 the War of Independence started. The Americans were led by George Washington who in 1788 became the country's first president. On the 4th of July, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written and that day is now celebrated as the Day of Independence. The war ended in 1788 and during the time following it, the Americans bought large pieces of land from foreign countries to themselves, creating a big country. By 1860 America was a big country but there was a big difference between the free North and the slavery South. The biggest problem was the issue of slaves and due to that the Civil War broke out in 1861.
in the world that occupies an entire continent. The mainland covers an area of 7.7 million km² and it is about 3700 km from the most northern point to its most southern point and about 4000 km from east to west. There are also many different seas around Australia, like the Coral and the Tasman Seas in the west or the Timor and the Arafura Seas in the north, where the Indian and the Pacific Oceans meet. Because all seas and oceans near Australia are warm, surfing is a very popular hobby. Political subdivision Australia is divided into six states, which are: · New South Wales · Victoria · Queensland · South Australia · Western Australia · Tasmania New South Wales is the most populous state in Australia. Its capital is Sydney. Victoria is one of the most densely populated states in Australia. Its capital city is Melbourne and it was named after the British Prime Minister Lord Melbourne.

He was a graduate of Yale University who started his career as a teacher in a school. When teaching, reading and spelling, he lacked good materials. The only textbooks used at that time were textbooks from overseas that made no reference to the people, events, or language of America. Webster felt that an original American textbook would help inspire the sense of identity and patriotism of the younger generation. It was his belief that pupils should enjoy learning; therefore the grammar in his popular ''speller book'' was kept simple, and it contained inspiring text by American authors. Webster began to think systematically how words should be spelled. He achieved his goal in 1806, when he published A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language- with 37, 000 words, it was the first popular dictionary produced in America. It followed the publication of a Dictionary of the English language written by Samuel Johnson in Britian in 1755
This cuisine is characterized by the use of spices such as nutmeg, allspice and hot peppers. The Cape Dutch cookery style owes at least as much to the cookery of the slaves brought by the Dutch East India Company to the Cape from Bengal, Java and Malaysia as it does to the European styles of cookery imported by settlers, and this is reflected in the use of eastern spices and the names given to many of these dishes. Indian cookery Curry dishes are popular in South Africa among people of all ethnic origins; many dishes came to the country with the thousands of Indian labourers brought to South Africa in the nineteenth century. Restaurants and fast food outlets South Africa can be said to have a real "eating out" culture. While there are some restaurants that specialize in traditional South African dishes or modern interpretations thereof, restaurants featuring other cuisines such as Moroccan,
