The play is directed by Peter Joucla and produced by Grantly Marshall. It is played by the American Drama Group Europe. This is a theatre group that travels around the world, so people can see many different plays and performances in English. The play tells the story of two men. One of them, Jack, lives in the country but loves to go to London once in a while. Jack's friend Algernon lives in London but, vice versa, likes to get away from the urbanism. Both of them fall in love with a woman, but the two men make a mistake, they lie about their name. Both say their name is Earnest and as it turns out, that is the name a man should have to marry those women. Of course the lie comes out and that is when the real drama starts. I really liked the play. It is witty and not so predictable as you could guess
man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week." "What is his name?" "Bingley." "Is he married or single?" "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" "How so? How can it affect them?" "My dear Mr. Bennet," replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them." "Is that his design in settling here?" "Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes." "I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by
8) SOME ENGLISH TRADITIONS In England, Shrove Tuesday is the day for pancakes. The popular name for Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day. The most common form of celebration in the old days was the all-over-town ball game or tug-of-war. Today the only custom that is consistently observed throughout Britain pancake eating. But here and there some of other customs, too, still survive. Among these pancake races, the pancake fight, and Shrovetide [Shrovetide=Shrove Tuesday=vastlapäev] football are the best known. The most famous pancake race takes place at only, Buckinghamshire. The pancake bell is rung to competitors. Only women can take part in the race, and they must wear an apron and head-covering. The course is over a distance of 15 yards, during which the pancake must be tossed three times. At Westminster school in London, before dinner there's the pancake fight. Shrovetide football has few rules and the goals may be as much as three miles apart. February the 14th is famous as St
comprehensive dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language, which would take twenty-seven years to complete. To supplement the documentation of the etymology of the words, Webster learned twenty-six languages, including Old English (Anglo-Saxon), German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Arabic, and Sanskrit. Webster hoped to standardize American speech, since Americans in different parts of the country spelled, pronounced, and used words differently.

Blandings Castle by P.G. Wodehouse Wodehouse was an acknowledged master of English prose admired both by contemporaries and by modern writers. He has been called "English literature's performing flea", a derogatory description that Wodehouse cherished and adopted as the title of his autobiography. Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies. Wodehouse took a modest attitude to his own works. In Over Seventy (1957) he wrote: "I go in for what is known in the trade as 'light writing' and those who do that humorists they are sometimes called are looked down upon by the intelligentsia and sneered at."

Graff said he was accepted and gave Ender the choice, to stay home or go to the Battle School. He chose to leave his beloved sister and go. Most of the book is set in Battle School. Graff makes every other launchie hate him since the start. Graff has decided that he has to isolate Ender, so that he would keep improving to become a genius that was needed. Soon Ender is put into an army, older boys were divided into armies for playing the game in zero gravity, which was the most important thing in the school. He was not wanted by his commander, because he had now experience, was very small and he had to give a good soldier in return. Soon he was traded to a new army, where he was used properly in battle.

In the early years of the twentieth century, the playwright and social commentator George Bernard Shaw remarked that an Englishman only had to open his mouth to make some other Englishman despise him. What was he talking about? Would he say the same thing today? 8.

information needed for their homework from the books or from the Internet. It is needed because it teaches how to find your books on your own from other libraries too because usually the same system is used for the book location. School libraries are definitely very good places to study for a test before the lesson because it is quiet there and one can use books as a helping hand. Our school library is very nice in my opinion. It is also good compared to other school libraries in our country, even one of the best. It has many good books and it's good to spend time there, laying on a couch and reading a magazine. There are about 16000 books there and you can use them there or take them home with you. If you want to borrow a book, you must take it to the librarian and she will write up your name to the database, the name of the book and the date of borrowing. Elementary school pupils can take book home for two weeks to one month. High school pupils

pounds and ten shillings instead of the five originally offered and Mr. Gamfield accepted. Mr. Bumble cleaned Oliver up, and brought him before the magistrates. As the magistrates were signing the contracts of Oliver's indenture, they realized that Oliver was petrified of going with the evil looking Mr. Gamfield. Because of this, they ordered Oliver back to the workhouse from which he came with orders to Mr. Bumble to treat him well. Chapter 4: The board decides that the best thing to do with Oliver is send him out to sea as a cabin boy. They figure that the sailors will take the best care of him, by which they mean treat him the worst and probably kill him. As Mr. Bumble is looking into this new arrangement, he runs into Mr. Sowerberry, the undertaker. Mr. Bumble tells him of young Oliver stating that anyone who takes him off the states hands will receive five pounds. Mr. Bumble asks if he knows of anyone who needs a boy, and Mr. Sowerberry offers to take him
1 What is Grammar? Here's an old children's rhyme about the eight parts of speech of English grammar. It gives you an idea of what grammar is about. Read and remember it. Every name is called a noun, Pronoun As field and fountain, street and town. Noun In place of noun the pronoun stands, As he and she can clap their hands. The adjective describes a thing, As magic wand or bridal ring. Adjective Most verbs mean action, something done, Verb To read and write, to jump and run. How things are done the adverbs tell, As quickly, slowly, badly, well. ition Adverb Prepos

One day, Gladys announced she bought a house. A few months after they had moved in, Gladys suffered a breakdown. In My Story, Monroe recalls her mother "screaming and laughing" as she was forcibly removed to the State Hospital in Norwalk. According to My Sister Marilyn, Gladys's brother, Marion, hung himself upon his release from an asylum, and Della's father did the same in a fit of depression. Norma Jeane was declared a ward of the state, and Gladys' best friend, Grace McKee (later Goddard) became her guardian. After McKee married in 1935, Norma Jeane was sent to the Los Angeles Orphans Home (later renamed Hollygrove), and then to a succession of foster homes.[15] The Goddards were about to move to the east coast and could not take Monroe. Grace approached the mother of a neighbor boy, James Dougherty, about the possibility of her son marrying the girl. They

In contrast, her younger sister Marianne, who more closely resembles their mother, is "everything but prudent." She longs for a man with taste, grace, spirit, and fire in his eyes, and considers her sister cold-hearted in her calm and tempered regard for Edward Ferrars. Their younger sister Margaret, age thirteen, also shares Marianne's excessive romanticism. Elinor thus stands out in her family as the only sensible and rational woman. The sensibility of Marianne and Mrs. Dashwood manifests itself in their excessive mourning over the deaths of the two men, in contrast to Elinor's more silent grief. Not only are they overcome by sadness at the loss of first Old Mr. Dashwood and then Henry, but they then carry on dramatically about having to leave Norland and move to the smaller cottage. Before departing, Marianne wanders the grounds of Norland uttering a histrionic elegy: "Dear, dear Norland... Oh! happy house... And you, ye well-known trees

Four things Harry learns at school, apart from being a wizard_________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Part IV: The short text below, written by a young Harry Potter fan, contains ten mistakes. Can you find and then correct them? Harry Potter The Harry Potter books are the best books I ever read. They are quite long, but I have read all them and my mum says she will buy me the next one when it come out. My favourite is first one, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I think the autor must have a great image to be able to create all those caracters. I also like the Harry Potter films, and have got two of them in DVD. My favourite bits in the films are when Harry and the other students on Hogwarts plays the game of Quidditch, which looks like great fun.
bipolarity. One day he becames jealous of her and commits a crime that could put him into jail for jears. His only escape is to start faking the bipolarity. He gets into a psychiatric hospital, where he spends most horrible days of his live taking medicines that he actually does not need. The deadline was coming closer and he has to send his documents to the Art Academy, but he can not not leave the hospital. Hannah does it for him. I liked the film, because it had emotionaaly really stong influece and the viewer was always kept in suspense. What I liked most of all was the actors’ performances. Jaanika Arum is a skilled actress, her role in this movie was probably the most difficult one, and she did her best, playing with her emotions so skillfully that I often got the impression that I was watching a real person with bipolarity. Some of the film scenes were quite violent and I could feel the trepidation at
"There's not a better book to read i f you want to write movies, or anything else for that matter. I keep it on my desk, always within reach, knowing that when I get lost — and I always do — I have somebody close by to help show me the way. Chris Vogler is a (bleep)ing genius." — Scott Silver, Writer, Eight Mile " The Writer's Journey provides both fiction and nonfiction writers with powerful tools and guidelines to create remarkable stories. It is the best book of its kind." — John Tullius, Director, M a u i W r i t e r s Conference and W r i t e r s Retreat " T h i s is a book about the stories we write, and perhaps more importantly, the stories we live. It is the most influential work I have yet encountered on the art, nature, and the very purpose of storytelling." — Bruce Joel Rubin, Screenwriter,
,, Invictus" is a biographical sports drama film, which was released in the United States on December 11, 2009. The film is produced by Clint Eastwood, Lori McCreary, Robert Lorenz, Mace Neufeld and directed by Clint Eastwood. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation about the events in South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The title of the film is also a title of a poem ,,Invictus", written by William Ernest Henley. I quite liked this film. It is an interesting and teaching film, which make people think about their attitude towards other people. Nelson Mandela, who released from Victor Verster Prison after 27 years spent in jail, is the first black president of South Africa. He concentrates on problems, which are associated with racial divisions between black and white South Africans. The problems between black and white are obvious even between his own security team. Mr
Broadly, the Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that changed the fundamental perspective of the masses, urging them to foster skepticism and apply scientific principles in matters of religion and morality. Its chief values were: Liberty, Democracy, Republicanism, Religious Tolerance. The movement gained momentum with the publication of landmark texts like Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason, and the Jefferson Bible, but the most influential thinker was undoubtedly John Locke, whose ideas spread to the colonies and across Europe. Main Ideas of the American Enlightenment: The Enlightenment caused a shift in the cultural and social attitudes of the people, bringing in some new and radical ideas. Republicanism: The doctrine of republicanism asserts a system of a government that is elected by the people of the nation. The roots of this ideology go back to ancient Greece, when the concept of a democratic government was examined by philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle
read it. It is somewhat embarrassing to admit, that at first, before giving much indepth thought about what was written between those pages, I was quite incredibly fascinated with ´´Twilight´´. I got so attached to the book that I couldn't even spare ten minutes to take a break in order to have something to eat or rest my eyes, when my vision got all blurry (it was an eBook). Eventually my best friend managed to lure me to her place (it took her much effort) and even then, I secretly downloaded the book to her computer and carried on reading, my only response to her chatter being an occasional glance, nod or ''mmh''. To someone, who obviously has a certain fondness for Twilight, not much explanation is needed to why I so suddenly fell unexplainably, deeply in love with it. However, even then, I wasn't entirely blinded, or at least blinded enough not to notice the

My languages I love different languages. I mean, I really, really love different languages. I also believe and have been told that I pick them up rather easily. That might be true, although I did not pick any Greek up in Greece but that might have been because they spoke so damn fast that I could not tell if it was a word or an entire sentence. The first foreign language I learned was Russian. Considering I was ten when Estonia became a Republic, it makes sense. We began studying Russian in first grade, though it was simplified –

Catherine Morland My name is Catherine Morland. I would like to tell you a bit about myself. To begin with, I am seventeen years old and grew up in a countryside in a small town named Fullerton with my parents and nine siblings. As a child I was interested in many things like drawing, sports and music. I was very lively and cheerful, enjoyed cricket, horse riding and just hated cleanliness and restriction. As I grew up, I chose reading over sports and all of the wild games I used to like. Undoubtedly, I would now describe myself with the word naivety. I am very naïve and do not notice the most obvious things happening around me. I really hope that it
