THE ROYAL WEDDING

The Royal Family of the United Kingdom participate every year in hundreds of public events and provides work and money to Britain. In fact, the British Monarchy is the richest in the world. A difference between the English royal family and Spain royal family is that a lot of English are supporting their royalty.

PRINCE WILLIAM

Prince William 2nd in line to the British throne was born on 21st June 1982 at StMary’s hospital, London. He was the first child of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales and was born to intense media interest, an interest that has followed him through his life. As a grandchild to the queen is official title is His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales. If his father was to predecease Queen Elizabeth II it is likely he would be given the same title as his father Prince of Wales. He has a younger brother Harry and two step siblings; Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Bowles from his father’s second wife Camilla Parker Bowles.

Prince William Education

He was educated at various private schools in London and Berkshire before moving to the prestigious Eton college at the age of 11. It was hoped such a school would provide a safer environment, relatively protected from the intrusions of the media. By and large the media did respect the Palace’s request to “leave William alone until he was 18”. As a way of thanking the media, in his last year TV cameras were given a rare insight into the Prince at Eton, showing him enjoying various activities such as cooking and sport. Since leaving school relationship with the media have been less cordial, especially with regard to interest over his girlfriend Kate Middleton.

KATE MIDDLETON

Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton (born 9 January 1982) married to Prince William of Wales, elder son of Prince Charles, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

After her marriage, the official title of Miss Catherine Middleton is - Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.

QUEEN ELIZABETH

She was born April 21, 1926, London, England. Queen of the United Kingdom from 1952. She became heir presumptive when her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated and her father became king as George VI. In 1947 she married her distant cousin Philip, duke of Edinburgh, with whom she had four children, including Charles, prince of Wales. She became queen on her father's death in 1952. Increasingly aware of the modern role of the monarchy, she favoured simplicity in court life and took an informed interest in government business. In the 1990s the monarchy was troubled by the highly publicized marital difficulties of two of the queen's sons and the death of Diana, princess of Wales. In 2002 the queen's mother and sister died within two months of each other.

CRAZY BRITISH FESTIVALS

The British are eccentric. In summer they organize some very silly festivals.


GRAVY WRESTLING
In Britain, people have a great sense of humour.
So they organize crazy festivals and silly sports!
One of the most popular is gravy wrestling.
Participants wrestle for two minutes in a pool 
of sauce called "gravy". Around 2,000 litres of
the sauce are prepared for the championships
and people wear fancy dress.
They will probably never eat gravy again!


BOG SNORKELLING
The first World Championship was in 1985.
More than 200 people participate each year.
They complete two legths of a 55-metre bog in 
the shortest time possible.
They swim using their flippers.


WORM CHARMING
These people are looking for worms.
They make vibrations in the soil and use water 
to encourage worms to come to the surface.
They use music too. Worm charming began 
in 1980 in Cheshire, England.
Ten-year-old Sophie Smith "charmed" 567 
worms in 2009. That's a world record.


CHEESE ROLLING
It looks funny, but these people are running
after cheese.
The competition started in England 
200 years ago. A round cheese is rolled from 
the top of the hill and participants try to catcch 
it. The cheese travels at 110 km/hour, and it can 
be very dangerous!


SNAIL RACING
These people love snail racing. 
Snails start at the centre of a table and move
30 cm to the perimeter. Each snail has a number 
on it to make sure there's no cheating.
In 2010, a snail called Sidney won in three minutes 
and 41 seconds. Fans must be very patient.


TOE WRESTLING
Toe wrestling is like arm wrestling... with your 
feet! Players sit down and join toes. They try to
pin the other player's foot for three seconds.
The Toe Wrestling Championships started
in 1970s in Derbyshire, England.
The best player in the wora is Nash.

THE ROYAL WEDDING

MY HOLIDAY WEEK

During one week 4th ESO students were in Italy, 
I rested every day and did homework in peace.
I also leave a little partys for a different places.
Every day I get up late and did not care the time.
I spend the whole entire week at home in Melianta.
On Saturday I went to play footbal and work at night.
I also stayed with my neighbor, because he was party in the afternoon.
I was also at Eduard Camps house, my classmate and friend.
We also stayed with some friends playing poker. 
They were very funny and entretaining.
When this holiday week ended, I stick with Easter.
Another week of celebration followed.

INTRODUCE SCHOOL ON SATURDAY MORNINGS

Introduce this new law is an a serious mistake.
The students won't improve academic results.
In my view, this law would have some negative consequences.


As for as I'm concerned, I think that introduce school
on Saturday would get lower school results.
If there's school percerange students would go to school
without a desive to work.


Obviously a lot of students would be tired
and this students wouldn't be aware in the clasroom
and they wouldn't understand the class concepts.
Students would be more difficult to control.


In conclusion I think that this new law will not improve
school performance but the oposite the school level drops.
I think the best idea is that school hours continue
like now.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Are we new technologies be addict?

In my opinion I think that people are very addicted

at new technologies because it's the new world innovation.

People loves innovated things and new technologies.

In the world, for example, people were connected

every day in the internet.

One of the causes that the people were connected

in the internet is the great possibility of talking with

your friends online. Obviously this chat are free.

Is a convenient way to keep in touch with the other persons.

Another cause is made to obtain all the information

you want on the same moment without having to move

to your house. Is a better advantage.

In conclusion, the new technologies are very addict

but personally I think that this new advantages are

very positive because technologies improve the living

conditions and there are and advantages in general.

The Case-Book of Sherlock HOlmes (1927)

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based "consulting detective", Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to take almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.
Holmes, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories. The first story, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two novels published in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The stories cover a period from around 1880 up to 1914.
All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson; two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Blanched Soldier" and "The Lion's Mane") and two others are written in the third person ("The Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the main story from his memories, while Watson becomes the narrator of the frame story. The first and fourth novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, each include a long interval of omniscient narration recounting events unknown both to Holmes and to Watson.
