põhikool Depech Mode Referaat Koostaja: Kuupäev: 24. oktoober Pärnu 2009 Sissejuhatus Rock-muusika on laialdane ja varieeruv levimuusika suund, milles enamasti meloodilist vokaali saadab kitarr, trummid ja tihti ka basskitarr. Instrumendid on erinevates rock-muusika zanrites tihtipeale erinevad. Ka klahvpillid nagu klaver ja süntesaator on laialdases kasutuses. Eesti keeles võib rock-muusikale kirjapildis viidata mitmel erineval moel. Kuigi enamasti tarvitatakse inglise keelest pärit lühendatud versiooni "rock", on korrektne kasutada kirjutamisel ka selliseid võimalusi nagu rokk, rokkmuusika ja rock-muusika. Rock-muusika juured peituvad 1950. aastate rock'n'roll'is, rockabilly's ja rhythm and blues's. 1960. aastatel tekkisid sulamzanrid folgi ja dzässiga. 1970. aastatel järgnes veel suurem rock'i piiride avardamine, mille tagajärjel tekkis juurde mitmeid rock'i alazanreid nagu soft...
War on Terror The War on Terror is an international military campaign led by the United States and the United Kingdom with the support of other NATO and non-NATO countries. Officially, the War on Terror label has not been used since Barack Obama came to office in 2009, but the war in Afghanistan continues. The campaign was launched in 2001 with the US/UK invasion of Afghanistan in response to the September 11 attacks. Since then, other operations have commenced, the largest being the War in Iraq, beginning with a 2003 invasion. Originally, it was waged against al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with the purpose of eliminating them. The phrase War on Terror was first used by former US President George W. Bush and other high-ranking US officials to denote a global military, political, legal and ideological struggle against organizations designated as terrorist and regimes that were accused of having a ...

Education The education system is a little bit different in the UK than ours. For example they have go to school 2 years earlier than us. Primary school is for pupils aged 5-11. Though schooling is only compulsory from age 5 in the UK, children most commonly enter Reception Class aged 4 in the academic year in which they will reach their 5th birthday. When pupils are aged 7 they sit Key Stage 1 [SATs]. Key Stage 2 SATs are taken when pupils are aged 11. Secondary school is for pupils aged 11-16. 11-13 years old pupils study a broad range of 10–15 subjects. No public examinations are taken during this time. Traditionally, at the age of 14 students start a programme that lasts for 2 years and during which time they study up to 11 subjects of their choice. After this students take GCSE state examinations After 16 attending at school isn't compulsory but pupils can stay at school, go to coll...

Wind of Change Wind of Change ist eine Rockballade der Scorpions. Der Text feiert den gegen Ende der 1980er-Jahre eingetretenen politischen Wandel in Europa (unter anderem den Fall der Berliner Mauer), die neu gewonnene Freiheit der Menschen im ehemaligen Ostblock sowie das bevorstehende Ende des Kalten Krieges.

About Tea "Shall I put the kettle on?" or "Would you like a nice cup of tea?" are questions you might be asked if you visit someone's home in the UK. The traditional English drink is tea - it is drunk throughout the day and is often made during social occasions. Coffee has become popular in recent years, but many people continue to drink tea. In the UK there are as many different ways of making and drinking tea as there are flavours. People drink Indian teas, Chinese teas, herbal teas, and fruit teas. English tea is specially adapted for UK tastebuds. To make a cup of English tea the first step is to boil some water - usually in an electric kettle. Traditionally the drink is then made by pouring the boiling water into a teapot and adding tea leaves. The leaves are left to infuse, or brew, and when it is ready the liquid is poured into teacups through a strainer and drunk with milk. Nowadays, many people use teabags, which are perfora...
