Rough! Authentic
English
As part of Feed the World week, residents of communities all around the United Kindom are participating in a
nationwide campaign to feed the country's homeless. However, this is no ordinary glorified soup kitchen; the
meals being offered up to those living in the most extreme conditions on Britain's streets are exotic dishes
that hail from all four corners of the globe.
The idea first started in the Borough of Brixton in south London, and was the brainchild of community
worker Simon Smith. "I wanted to do something to help the growing number of homeless people on our
streets, but in a way that also reflected the diversity of nationalities that make up the community," said Simon.
"Brixton has such a lot to offer in the way of restaurants and food stalls that I decided it would be a great idea
to literally bring that concept to the streets. The idea caught on, and soon, people from all over the country
were sending me messages on the social networks saying what a great idea it was and asking how they could
also get involved."
From the seed of Simon's local idea, the national festival was born, with around a hundred different
communities across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland taking to the streets during the coldest time of year,
to serve up some relief to those less fortunate.
Simon says he hopes that, based on the success and the public feedback, the initiative will be repeated
and become a regular festival in years to come. "I don't see any reason why it shouldn't happen. In any case,
regardless of whether the whole of the UK gets involved next year, too, we'll definitely be hitting the streets
in Brixton whenever we can to provide a little comfort to those who desperately need it."
In cities around the country, homelessness has increased visibly, with many more people on the streets.
The highest rates of rough sleeping are in Westminster, Bristol, Brighton and Hove. Manchester has the
fourth highest rate of street homelessness. People are visibly affected when they visit Manchester at the
moment, especially if they haven't been here for a few years. However, people will become desensitized to
the situation - so many people sleeping rough - and within a year it will just become a normal state of affairs
in most people's eyes.
The charity's report on homelessness earlier this year,
"Stop the Scandal," identified multiple reasons why rough
sleeping remains a stubborn problem, even though all
street homeless people should have access to a shelter.
A lack of specialist mental health provision was the main
issue raised: four out of ten people whom homelessness
workers came into contact with had at least one mental
health problem, yet 86% reported a lack of beds for
people with mental health issues. Causes include funding
cuts, services disappearing entirely, and rough sleepers
with both mental health problems and substance abuse
histories finding it nearly impossible to access services.

Shoplift - to steal merchandise from a store that is open for business
Grammar peek Present Perfect with "yet", "already", "just", "ever", and "never"
We use the Present Perfect with ever and never to talk about different experiences that have or
haven't happened to us. Ever and never go before the past participle.
Example: - Have you ever been abroad? – No, I haven't. I have never been abroad.
Already means that something happened earlier than we expected. With the Present Perfect, already
usually goes after have or has and before the main verb.
Example: I've already done my homework.
Yet means that something we expected to happen hasn't happened. We usually put it at the end of
a sentence.
Example: - Have you done it yet? – I haven't done it yet.
We use just with the Present Perfect Simple to indicate that something happened a moment ago.
Example: We've just called your parents. They will be here in an hour.

Lesson 9 | Can we save the planet?
The SUV (sports utility vehicle) requires more gasoline than the average car. It's
very popular because it has lots of space and is very safe. It is designed to be
taken off roads so people can go camping. Many women have been driving this
vehicle because of its safety and space for children, as well as for shopping.

Why do you think many people don't want to drive electric cars? Discuss the reasons with your
classmates. Ask them if they would like to own one.
They think that it won't be powerful enough.
They think it is not as safe.
They want a big car, not a small one.
Work in teams: Divide your teams one of girls and the other of boys, you teams are going to invent a short

Lesson 10 | Do you know how to save money?
Read on Budgets
Read and choose from the budget types to match their descriptions.
1. Revenue budgets 3. Capital expenditure budgets
2. Incremental budgets 4. Expense budgets
The funds within this type of budget are allocated to departments or organizational units. The managers of these
units then allocate funds to activities as they see fit. It is developed from the previous budget. Each period's
budget begins by using the last period as a reference point.
This type of budget shows the primary activities undertaken by an individual/organization to achieve goals and
allocates a specific amount to each. Particular attention has to be given to fixed expenses.
This type of budget is a forecast, because it is based on the projection of future sales. The company's
competitors, advertising budget, sales force effectiveness and other relevant factors must be taken into
consideration. An estimate of sales volume must be made. Based on estimates of demand at various prices, an
appropriate sales price must be selected.
This type of budgets programs investments in property, buildings and major equipments. These are typically substantial
expenses both in terms of magnitude and duration. The magnitude and duration of these investments can justify the
development of separate budgets for these expenses. It allows forecasting future capital requirements, to keep on top
of important capital projects, and to ensure that adequate cash is available to meet these expenses.

There are many customs and superstitions associated with weddings. In the past, a wedding was seen as a time
when people were particularly susceptible to bad luck and evil spirits. Many superstitions are modifications of
customs which began many centuries ago.
In the past, when the marriage proposal was a quite formal procedure, the prospective groom sent his friends or
members of his family to represent his interests to the prospective bride and her family. If they saw a blind man,
a monk or a pregnant woman during their journey, it was thought that the marriage would be doomed if they
continued because these sights were thought to be bad omens.
It was thought unlucky for a woman to marry a man whose surname began with the same letter as hers.
June was considered to be a lucky month to get married because it is named after Juno, the Roman goddess of
love and marriage.
The placing of a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe was to ensure wealth in the couples' married life.
Today some brides place a coin in their shoe during the ceremony.
When the bride is ready to leave the house for the wedding ceremony, a last look in the mirror will bring her
good luck. However, returning to the mirror once she began her journey would result in bad luck.

Coco Chanel
From her millinery first shop, opened in 1912, to the 1920s, Gabrielle 'Coco'
Chanel rose to become one of the premier fashion designers in Paris, France.
Replacing the corset with comfort and casual elegance, her fashion themes
included simple suits and dresses, women's trousers, costume jewelry, perfume
and textiles.
Coco Chanel claimed her birthdate to be in 1893 and her birthplace at
Auvergne; however, she was born in 1883 in Saumur. She adopted the name
Coco during a brief career as a cafe and concert singer 1905-1908.
First a mistress of a wealthy military officer, then of an English industrialist,
Coco Chanel drew on the resources of these patrons to set up a millinery shop
in Paris in 1910, expanding to Deauville and Biarritz. Soon "Coco" was expanding
to couture, working in jersey, the first in the French fashion world. By the 1920s,
her fashion house had expanded considerably, and her chemise set a fashion
trend with its "little boy" look. Her relaxed fashions, short skirts, and casual
look were in sharp contrast to the corset fashions popular in the previous
decades. Chanel herself dressed in mannish clothes, and adapted these more
comfortable fashions, which other women also found liberating.
Margaret Thatcher
Born Margaret Hilda Roberts to a solidly middle class family – neither rich,
nor poor – in the small town of Grantham, noted for manufacturing railroad
equipment.
From 1943 to 1947, Margaret attended Somerville College, Oxford. After
college, she went to work as a research chemist, working for two different
companies in the developing plastics industry.
She got involved in politics going to the Conservative Party Conference
in 1948, representing Oxford graduates. She met Denis Thatcher, a director
of his family's paint company. Denis came from more wealth and power than
Margaret did. He had also been briefly married during World War II before
divorcing. Margaret and Denis were married on December 13, 1951.
Margaret studied law from 1951 to 1954, specializing in tax law. In 1959,
Margaret Thatcher was elected to a rather safe seat in Parliament, becoming
the Conservative MP for Finchley, a suburb north of London.
Margaret Thatcher became prime minister of the United Kingdom on May
4, 1979. She was not only the UK's first female prime minister, but she was also
the first woman prime minister in Europe. She brought in her radical right-wing
economic policies, "Thatcherism," plus her confrontational style and personal
frugality. During her time in office, she continued to prepare breakfast and
dinner for her husband, and even to do grocery shopping. She never took
her complete salary.

Cirque du Soleil has entertained millions of people since 1984.
In 1984 only 73 people worked for Cirque du Soleil. Since then thousands of artists have worked in this famous
worldwide enterprise. Since 1985, Cirque du Soleil touring shows have visited over 250 cities around the world.
Close to 100 million spectators have seen Cirque du Soleil shows since 1990.
Each Cirque du Soleil show is a synthesis of circus styles from around the world, with its own central
theme and storyline. The shows draw the audience into the performance through continuous live music and
unusual performances.
The Canadian government has decided to secure funding for the Cirque
du Soleil since 1992, and the managers took steps to renovate the
Cirque from a group of street performers into a "proper circus".
Guy Garon, the head of the national Circus School, was hired as artistic
director to accomplish this goal. They have implemented emotional
music that is played from beginning to end by musicians in the shows.
They have emulated the method of having
the acts tell a story. Technical crew do not
move equipment on and off stage during the
shows but performers do, so that it does not
disrupt the momentum of the storyline.
They've created a circus where the audience is
drawn into an amazing performance.

Mesoamerica is a culturally defined geographical area corresponding to the central and southern parts of modern
Mexico and the northern part of Central America. The observation of the natural environment allowed ancient
societies to predict annual changes in their environments and to regulate their activities in time. Therefore, the
need for astronomical increased notably with the origin of agriculture. The observation
of the sky had an important role among the Maya, Aztecs, and other prehispanic cultures of Mesoamerica.
Their familiarity with the regularities of the apparent motion of the Sun, the Moon, and bright planets has been
attested in a large amount of data contained in codices and monumental hieroglyphic
inscriptions, as well as in their sophisticated calendars. The study of architectural alignments has disclosed that
civic and ceremonial buildings were largely oriented on astronomical grounds, mostly sunrises and sunsets on
certain dates. Astronomy in Aztec and Maya society with religious ideas and practices.
The most sophisticated astronomical knowledge was possessed by the priestly class, closely associated with the
ruling . The Mesoamerican astronomer-priests achieved sophisticated knowledge about
the periodicity of eclipses, which were considered bad omens in ancient traditions. The complex knowledge
possessed by the priestly elite in prehispanic times was lost soon after the Conquest, mostly as a result of
Christian imposed by the Spanish clergy. Among the planets observed in Mesoamerica,
the most important one was Venus. Venus figured prominently in ideas and ritual practices linked to warfare
and sacrifice, and was also believed to be an eclipse agent. The Mesoamerican world view was a manifestation
of the attempts of the classes to their power by recreating and

https://www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish/lessons/past-simple-vs-past-continuous ICT
Get ready to… use the Simple Past or Past Continuous to talk about the history of holidays. Talk about
the history of different holidays.
Easter was originally a pagan festival. Imagine how the tribes were celebrating the return of spring,
commemorating their goddess of springtime, called Éostre, when Christian missionaries arrived at the village
and made their first attempts to convert pagans to Christianity. The missionaries decided to spread their dogma
slowly throughout the populations by allowing them to continue to celebrate pagan feasts.
Prior to 325 A.D., Easter was celebrated on different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
During the reign of the emperor Constantine, the Easter Rule was issued. This stated that Easter would be
celebrated on the first Sunday that occurred after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Therefore,
Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22nd and April 25th. The Easter Bunny
is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Éostre, was
worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit. The Germans brought the symbol of
the Easter rabbit to America. The Easter Egg predates the holiday of Easter. People were exchanging eggs in the
springtime as a custom for centuries. From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of birth in most cultures.
Imagine how people were wrapping eggs in gold leaves or, if they were peasants, coloring them brightly by
boiling them with the leaves or petals of flowers.
Today, children hunt for colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real
Easter eggs – those made of plastic or chocolate candy.

Lesson 27 | How did they celebrate?
Pam: How did the tradition of sending cards on Valentine's day begin?
Tom: Charles, Duke of Orleans, was imprisoned in the Tower of London at
the time. He sent his wife letters every day, and in 1415, he sent her
the first true Valentine card.
Pam: What about Cupid? How did it become a symbol of the holiday?
Tom: Romans worshiped Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty,
for centuries. Cupid was her son.

Grammar Reference
Modals of Speculation
We can use modals to speculate in English. The modals for speculation are:
must, could, may, may not, might, might not, can't, and couldn't
We can classify these modals of speculation into 3 categories. We categorize them by how certain
we are.
1. If we are very certain that something is true (95%-99%), we use must. For example:
The dog must have eaten the meat! (past tense certainty: modal + have + past participle)
Whoever it was must be a meat lover. (present tense certainty: modal + verb)
2. If we are talking about things we believe are possible (30%-50%) we use could, may, may not,
might, and might not. For example:
Anyone could have taken the meat. (past tense possibility: modal + have + past participle)
It may have been him, but he seems to prefer cookies. (past tense possibility: modal + have +
past participle)
So, I guess, it might not have been him. (past tense negative possibility: modal + not + have +
past participle)
3. If we are very certain that something is impossible, we use can't or couldn't. For example:
hat can't be right. The witness said the suspect was average size, and he's very tall. (present
T
tense impossibility: modal + not + verb)
And it can't have been this guy. He's a vegetarian! (past tense impossibility: modal + not + have
+ past participle)
REMEMBER:
Can't and couldn't are both present and past! Past Modals of Speculation change tense by adding
either the bare infinitive OR have + past participle. Therefore could is not necessarily past, and can't is
not necessarily present.
