EXERCICE 1 (EXERCISE)
Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic

monument located near Amesbury in the English county of
Wiltshire, about 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. Its
geographical location is 51°10'43.87"N, 1°49'35.07"W.

It is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting

of large standing stones and is one of the most famous
prehistoric sites in the world.

Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and
2000 BC although the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the
earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites
in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally
protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned and managed by
English Heritage whilst the surrounding downland is owned by the National Trust.

University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is the second-oldest university in

the English-speaking world (after Oxford).

It is situated in the town of Cambridge, England. According to

legend, the university was founded in 1209 by scholars escaping
from Oxford after a fight with locals there.

Cambridge has produced more Nobel prize winners than any

other university in the world, having 80 associated with it, about
70 of whom were students there.

It regularly heads league tables ranking British universities, and a recent league table
by the Times Higher Education Supplement rated it sixth in the world overall and
first for science.

The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, often referred to together as Oxbridge,

compete to be seen as the strongest overall university in the UK. Historically, they
have produced a significant proportion of Britain's prominent scientists, writers and
politicians.
