8 “We are having a party tomorrow’’, he said.
13 Every year I work at a summer camp for kids and I really enjoy seeing the 1
1 children doing things they never thought they could do. Nearly all the kids
know how to swim and play table - tennis before they come, but things like
rock climbing are new experiences for most. Some of them are very nervous,
but after a bit encouragement, they agree to try and they all get to the top in
the end, which makes them feel great. The kids stay several weeks and some
do miss home. We don’t let them (10-13 vear-oldsl to use their mobile phones
all the time. First we tell them they can phone home after lunch. Then when
they ask again, usually after dinner, we say it’s a bit too late to phone and
suggest doing it the next day. Most children are fine in a couple of days and at
the end of their stay, it’s amazing how many come and thank us because they
have had a great time. It’s not just the children who get lonely. We get parents
who are on the phone the whole time, asking how their child is getting on.
Often their child will be busy, playing games or doing something else, so we
have to tell parents to ring back another time. Some kids arrived dressed in
smart, designer, new clothes and they sometimes argue when we tell them to
change into something they won’t mind getting dirty, but before long they
realize what we mean.

2 children doing things they never thought they could do. Nearly all the kids
know how to swim and play table - tennis before they come, but things like
rock climbing are new experiences for most. Some of them are very nervous,
but after a bit encouragement, they agree to try and they all get to the top in
the end, which makes them feel great. The kids stay several weeks and some
do miss home. We don’t let them (10-13 vear-oldsl to use their mobile phones
all the time. First we tell them they can phone home after lunch. Then when
they ask again, usually after dinner, we say it’s a bit too late to phone and
suggest doing it the next day. Most children are fine in a couple of days and at

6 popular of London's historical sites. It comprises not one, but 20 towers. The
oldest of which, the White Tower, dates back to the 11th century and the time
of William the Conqueror. Nowadays a lot of tourists visit the Tower of
London, because of the Tower's evil reputation as a prison. The Tower is
famous as home of the Crown Jewels. Today they can be viewed in their new
jewel house. They include the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
which contains the celebrated Indian diamond. Many stories associated with
British history come from the Tower. In 1483 King Edward IV's two sons
were murdered in the so-called Bloody Tower. Over two centuries later the
skeletons of two little boys were found buried beneath steps in the White
Tower. Traitor's Gate has steps leading down to the River Thames. Countless
prisoners, including the future Queen Elizabeth I of England, were brought to
the Tower by barge and ascended the steps before being imprisoned. For many
it was their last moment of freedom before their death. But Elizabeth was
released from the Tower and became Queen. The King's second wife, Anne
Boleyn, was brought to trial there in 1536 and beheaded. Six years later her
cousin, Catherine, Henry VIII's fifth wife, suffered the same fate. Sir Thomas
More was beheaded there in 1535. Of course, no visit to the Tower would be
complete without seeing the ravens; huge black birds who are an official part
of the Tower community. Legend states that if the ravens were to leave the
Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with it. Under the special care of the
Raven Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw meat. And there is no
danger of them flying away, because their wings are clipped.According to the

it was their last moment of freedom before their death. But Elizabeth was
released from the Tower and became Queen. The King's second wife, Anne
Boleyn, was brought to trial there in 1536 and beheaded. Six years later her
cousin, Catherine, Henry VIII's fifth wife, suffered the same fate. Sir Thomas
More was beheaded there in 1535. Of course, no visit to the Tower would be
complete without seeing the ravens; huge black birds who are an official part
of the Tower community. Legend states that if the ravens were to leave the
Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with it. Under the special care of the
Raven Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw meat. And there is no
danger of them flying away, because their wings are clipped. “Fate” means the

450 The most popular spirits in Ireland are Guinness and Whiskey. Ireland 5
has its own whiskey. The Irish learned to make whiskey from monks. They
came to Ireland from the continent of Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries.
They knew a lot about the way to make spirits. Irish whiskey is made
differently from Scotch whisky. It is also usually spelled differently Scotch
whisky has no "e". Irish whiskey tastes lighter and smoother than Scotch
whisky. Just now more people in the world drink Scotch whiskey.
But some people like Scotch whisky and some like Irish whiskey. In
the American Civil War someone said to President Lincoln that General
Grant was drinking too much Irish whiskey. Lincoln knew that Grant was a
good general who knew about Irish Whiskeys. So Lincoln's answer was:
"Find out the maker of General Grant's whiskey. Then give it to the other
generals".
Another popular spirit is Guinness. It's a kind of beer. Guinness is
made from barley, hops, yeast and water. Everything in it is quite natural;
there are no chemicals. The Irish have made or "brewed" it in Dublin since
1759. The Guinness brewery in Dublin is bigger than any other brewery in
Europe. Today there are also Guinness breweries in Britain, Nigeria,
Malaysia. People drink more than seven million glasses of Guinness every
day around the world.
Irish coffee is another interesting drink. This is how to make it. First
you put very hot coffee in a glass with some sugar. Then you add whiskey.
Then very carefully you add some cream which stays on top of the whiskey
and coffee. It is a very good way to drink whiskey! What are the most
popular drinks in Ireland?
