But I’m not sure about English traditions. 21 Rosy; Oh. I see... We!!, Va!entine’s Day used to be a big deal at St David’s. When I was there, we used to organise a post box and after class teachers opened it and gave out valentines to the students. There was only one problem: some people who were unpopular never got any valentines and got very upset. So three years ago the teachers changed the rules; if you want to send valentines, you have to send them to everybody in your class. Misha: Oh! That’s impossible! What shall 1 do? It’s nine o’clock already. Rosy: But there’s no need to worry, t can give you some advice. Put your valentine in Emily’s bag when nobody is looking at you. Misha; Thank you. Rosy, I’ll do that.

For your information_________________________________________ c) He’s very There is a beautiful legend behind St Valentine’s Day. Saint Valentine lived in Rome in the third century AD. At that time the Emperor of Rome was Claudius. He ^ wasn't very popular because he was trying to get more and more people for his army. The men didn’t want to go to the army and Claudius thought that it was because they didn’t want to leave their wives and children. “If they don’t get married, they’ll join the army,” he thought and passed a law (закон) which banned (запретил) marriage. Valentine was a Christian priest who didn’t like the new law. He secretly married people who were in love. One night the Emperor’s soldiers caught him and put him in prison. Valentine was going to die. Many young people felt sorry for Valentine and visited him in prison. One of them was the daughter of a prison guard. On the day of his execution Valentine wrote a note to her and signed it “Love from your Valentine”. This was on 14 February 269 AD. Since then 14 February has been the Day of Love, when people send love letters and presents to each other. They don’t sign the cards with their names, but write “Guess Who” or “Your Valentine”. At first this was a European tradition, but then it became popular in other countries. It came to Russia too, but a lot of people say, “If you love somebody, you should show it every day, not only one day a year.” ■я vSo«VVyVVVVSft:SirVVVSi 6 23 5 Misha has written his valentine.

He was born on 25 December, 1642, in Woolsthorpe f'wuls0o:p]. His father died before Newton was born and his mother remarried. Newton went to live with his grandmother. He went to a grammar school, where he wasn't a very good pupil. Luckily one of the teachers spotted that he had a bright mind and recommended that he go to university. So Newton went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was going to study law. One day he went to a fair and bought a book on mathematics. Newton hadn’t read any books on mathematics and physics before and got very interested in these subjects. Soon he became one of the best students in the university. He spent most of his life in Cambridge. Newton became a world-famous physicist, mathematician, and natural philosopher. He took facts and mathematical theories and explained them. He formulated laws of universal gravitation and motion that explain how objects move on the Earth and in the sky. He made discoveries in optics and built the first reflecting telescope. He invented an area of mathematics called calculus and wrote a lot of books. 40 Unit 2 Lessons i, 2 11 Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale got her name from the city of Florence. At that time women didn’t work. They served tea and gave parties. Florence didn’t like this lifestyle. She was interested in books and medicine and wanted to go to university. At first her family was against it, but after many emotional battles her father agreed. She got a good education in Germany and started to work in a hospital when she came back to England. March 1854 brought the start of the Crimean War when Britain, France and Turkey declared war on Russia. Florence Nightingale left England and became a nursing administrator of the English General Hospitals in Turkey. She took 38 other nurses with her. Together they went to battlefields and organized hospitals. The wounded soldiers called her an angel because at night she went from one bed to another with a lamp.

Don't listen to Black, Misha. He’s been teasing you! The British Parliament sits in one building which is called the Palace of ’Westminster. It's also called the Houses of Parliament because there are two Houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. So what’s the difference between the House of Commons and the House of Lords? In the House of Commons MPs, or Members of Parliament, make all the important decisions and work on bills, which later become new laws. The Prime Minister is in the House of Commons too. 'Why are MPs more important? Because they represent all the people in the country. We have to have a general election at least every five years. People vote for an MP, and the party which has the most MPs wins the election and forms the government. Their leader becomes the Prime Minister. I see. and what about the House of Lords? Oh, well, they don't elect them. Did you know Black’s older brother is in the House of Lords? He’s a hereditary peer and Black’s jealous because there is no place in Parliament for him. What’s a hereditary peer? I'll explain. Some people in the House of Lords just inherit their places from their fathers and grandfathers. They’re hereditary peers. That's not very fair, is it? It’s a tradition. In the past there used to be a lot of hereditary peers but it has changed and now most people in the House of Lords are life peers. They get the title “Lord” or “Lady” for their personal achievements, and their children can’t inherit it. Some of them are very competent. For example, our famous ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took her place as Lady Thatcher in the House of Lords in 1992. What happens in the House of Lords? In the House of Lords people talk about bills before they become laws and sometimes suggest changes to the House of Commons. And what about the Queen? What does she do? Oh, the Queen is the head of state. She and the House of Lords have to approve the decisions of the House of Commons. Before a bill becomes law the Queen has to say “La Reine le veut” [la ГЭП b: va:] (“The Queen wishes it”). The Queen uses Norman French as part of tradition. I 51 Misha: And can the Queen disagree with a new law? Mark: Not really. The last time it happened was in 1707. Misha: Your system is a bit difficult. Mark: Well, we have been working on it for more than a thousand years. For your information The Prime Minister is the head of the government in the United Kingdom.

It consists of three parts: the Royal Apartments where the colour is gold, the House of Lords where the seats are red and the House of Commons where the seats are green. We are now in the Chamber of the House of Lords, Please be quiet and don’t sit on these red benches. The Chamber of the House of Lords is also called the Parliament Chamber, because every year when the Queen comes to open Parliament, all three parts of Parliament come together here for the Queen's Speech. In fact, it’s not really the Queen's Speech, because she doesn't write it. The Government writes it for her. In the speech the Queen tells Parliament about the Government's plans for the next year. When she gives her speech, she sits on the throne over there. Can you all see it? Yes, it’s that big chair behind the big red cushion. Oh, and that cushion is, actually, the famous Woolsack. And yes, there is wool inside it. It’s a part of a very old tradition which started in the 14th century. It was put in Parliament to symbolise the importance of wool to the British economy at that time. The person who usually sits on the Woolsack is the Lord Chancellor. He presides over the House of Lords. Now we are going through into the House of Commons, where MPs make decisions on new laws. Let’s walk through this beautiful arch. There arc two 61 statues, one on each side of the arch. Both of these two men were Prime Ministers. One is David Lloyd George, and the other - Sir Winston Churchill. They represent the two main British political parties - the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. We have a tradition: if you’re a Conservative, touch Churchill’s shoe, and if you’re Labour, touch Lloyd George’s shoe. Have you touched a shoe? Now let's turn right. Do you see two long narrow corridors on your left and on your right? These are very important for the whole country because MPs come here to vote on bills for new laws. On the left there is the “aye”, or yes, lobby. MPs who agree with a bill go there. On the right there is the “no” lobby for MPs who want to vote against the bill. Then the officials count the “ayes” and the “noes” to get the results. So in the British Parliament MPs don’t vote by pushing a button; they vote with their feet. Let’s go through the “no” lobby and into the House of Commons, where you'll see that the benches are green. The chamber here isn’t very big. In fact, there are only places for 437 people on the benches, but there are 650 MPs, so sometimes they have to sit on the steps when the House is full. Now we’re standing behind the Speaker’s chair. The Speaker is the person who presides over the House of Commons. Now look at the floor. Can you see two red lines in front of the benches on each side of the chamber? That's part of a tradition too. The distance between these two lines is two swords' lengths. In the old days when MPs used to carry swords, it was dangerous if they got angry with each other. So these two lines are here to remind MPs that they shouldn't start a fight, and they can't go over this line when they are speaking in a debate. Today there’s nobody here, so you won’t see the Mace, which is put on this table when the House of Commons is sitting. The Mace is the symbol of the power which Parliament won from the King a long time ago. and MPs have a lot of respect for it. It even has its own guard, who has a very big sword. Now let’s leave the House of Commons and go to Westminster Hall. This is the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, and it's more than a thousand years old. The son of William the Conqueror... Do you remember the Norman leader who won the Battle of Hastings? Well, it was his son who started the building of the hall. This building has seen a lot of famous events. In 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and in World War II bombs fell on it. 62 Lesson 1 Means of communication through the centuries What will you be able to do in ten years?

What did people do to send their letters when they didn’t have post offices? 3. What did people do to send quick messages when they didn’t have the telephone and the telegraph? Nowadays we take our modern means of communieation for granted, but we shouldn’t forget older methods. Who knows? One day we may need them again! The history of communication started long before people invented the alphabet. When people couldn’t read or write, they drew pictures on the walls. These pictures told the stories of their everyday life, battles and culture. Can you imagine your life without post offices? Difficult, isn’t it. But before they were invented, people still wrote letters. In the ancient world there were thousands of foot messengers who formed an ancient communication network. One of the most famous messengers in history was a Greek soldier. He ran to Athens to bring the news of the Greek victory over the Persians at the battle of Marathon in 490 BC. When he got to Athens and gave the news, he fell dead of exhaustion (истощение). He had covered a distance of 26 miles. In honour of this soldier, sportsmen nowadays run the same distance — a marathon. In the Middle Ages life was hard and dangerous. It was very important to have good neighbours and to get news quickly. So people used the high towers of their castles to send and receive messages about the enemies. American Indians didn't build high towers but used smoke signals to send important information. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, everybody thought that it was a real miracle (чудо). The Unil 3 Lessons 3, 4 73 3 4 telephone and the telegraph were the fastest means of communication that people could imagine.

Choose the correct answer: Why do people call English the La/in of the 2 1st century? Several answers can be correct. Think of your own answer. 1. Because it is as easy as Latin, 2. Because it is as popular nowadays as Latin was hundreds of years ago. 3. Because it is the language of the most powerful country in the world. Latin was the language of the Romans, and English is the language of the Americans. Read the conversation and compare you answer with Misha's and Jim's. Misha: Excuse me, may I come in? Mr Grams: Yes, you may, Inin. But please don’t interrupt the lesson again. Let's start. Today we are going to talk about the English language. They say that English is the Latin of the 21st century. Why is English so popular? What do you think, MacWizard? Rob: I’ve never thought about it, I have always taken it for granted that people from different countries understand me. Jim: I think people learn English because the Americans speak it. And America is the biggest country in the world. Rob: Oh, don’t give us that! There are a lot of big countries such as Russia, China, India, but not so many foreigners speak Russian or Chinese. Г 1 1 in ГЛ 76 'dnit 3 Lesioria 5. 6 2 3 i I Misha: Can I say something now? I think it’s popular because it’s easy. Jim: Do you really think so? Misha: Yes, I do and I can prove it. Let’s compare English with Russian, for example. Plurals are easier. You just have to add an -{e)s in the end. Compare: Tables, books, trees.— Столы, книги, деревья. Genders are simpler. In English you use “she” for women, “he” for men and all other words are “it”. In Russian we have tree (it), table (he), book (she), room (she). It’s very difficult. English words don’t change so much. I read this book every day.— Я читаю эту книгу каждый день. We read this book every day. — Мы читаем эту книгу каждый день. YOU read this book every day. — Ты читаешь эту книгу каждый день. They read this book every day. — Они читают эту книгу каждый день. Не (She) reads this book every day.— Он (Она) читает эту книгу каждый день. You read this book.— Вы читаете эту книгу. Mr Grams: I think that’s very true. English isn’t a difficult language. And another thing: several European languages contributed to the formation of English. Can you tell me which? Answer Mr Grams' question. Which European languages contributed to the formation of English? Look at the pictures for help. Listen to the speaker and check your answers: Which language contributed to English the least / the most? , The Vikings came from , '■ Scandinavia. The Anglo-Saxons came from Germany. Holland and Denmark. The Romans came from Italy. The Normans came from France. In groups. Find more things that are more difficult in Russian than in English.

In the end your group should have an answer to the question under discussion. Role card 1 You arc Mr (Mrs) Brinks, a rich American businessman. You think that English is so popular because it is the language of America. The world has to understand America because it is one of the biggest and strongest countries. Everybody wants to do business with America. Illustrate your position with these ideas. 1. Six out of ten richest people in the world are Americans. 2. The whole world eats in American restaurants: McDonalds, Burger King and Pizza Hut. 3. The whole world wears American jeans such as Levis ('li:vaiz]. 4. Hollywood is the biggest film producer in the world. The most popular films in the world are American. 5. The dollar is the most popular currency (валюта) in the world. 6. The USA is the world leader in science and technology. Role cord 2 You are Mr (Mrs) Belov(a), a Russian translator. You think that English is so popular because it is very easy. Use Misha’s or your classmates’ arguments. Role card 3 You are Mr (Mrs) Bamridge, an English historian. You think that English is so popular because it has words from other languages. It is like many European languages and that’s why people can learn it easily. Use this information and facts from the text as examples. A lot of English words arc like German. The grammar is also very similar. Compare: Meine Freundin isl neun Jahre alt. (German) — My friend is nine years old. (English) Wir gehen in die Schule. (German) — We go to school. (English) Sie ist interessant. (German) — She is interesting. (English) Scandinavian words in English: anger (гнев), cake, call, egg, get, give, kick, kill, score, scrub, seat, skill, skin, skirt, sky, take, they, them, their, ugly, want, window, husband. 79 1 Latin words in English: street, kitchen, cup, cheese, wine, angel, wall paper. French words in English: country, court (суд), crime (преступление), prison religion, prince, princess; royal, adventure, change, fruit, letter, literature magic, male, female, mirror, question, special. The roots of the English language In fact, English is a Germanic language. The Anglo-Saxons contributed tt the formation of English most of all. English grammar is still very similar tt German. There are also a lot of French words in English from when Williarr Duke of Normandy became the King of England in 1066. You can find a lo of Scandinavian words in English too. They came from the times when tht Vikings raided Britain. The English alphabet came from Latin. Christiar monks, who spoke Latin, brought it to England from Ireland. It is very strange, but the Celtic language didn’t contribute many words tt modern English. We can only find Celtic words in the names of places and rivers such as Dover, Kent, Avon and the Thames, for example. Role cord 4 You are Mr (Mrs) Swarup, an Indian student. You think English is so popular because the United Kingdom used to have a big empire. The British had colonies all over the world, and all the people in the colonies had to speak English. Your country, India, is an example. Look at the text and the map. Use the map and the facts from the text to support your ideas. / The British Empire at its zenith in 1919. 80 Unit 3 Lesson 7 The beginning of the British Empire ['empaia] was in 1583 when Queen Elizabeth I sent her ships to explore new lands and continents. The expeditions were always successful. More and more lands became the part of the British Empire. At that time Doctor Dee, the Queen’s magician and astrologer, said the famous words; “British Empire”. He was right. Britain had the largest empire in the world. People said about it: “The sun never sets on the British Empire.” It was true; the empire was so big that it was always daylight in some part of it. Its territories were on every continent and ocean. By the beginning of the 20th century the British Empire had a population (население) of 400-500 million people (about a quarter of the world’s population at that time), and covered about 30 million square kilometres. Some of the countries that used to be British colonies or territories are: the USA. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, large parts of Africa, the Caribbean, the Far East, the Middle East and some islands in Europe.

Read the text and explain your answer. Don’t learn English! It may ruin your life! • You hate the Internet and computers. • You aren’t ambitious about your future job and you don’t want to earn any money. • You aren’t interested in travelling and communicating with other people. • You think all books and films in other languages are boring. If that is what you think, you shouldn't learn English, because if you learn it, five awful things can happen to you. You’ll be able to travel all over the world and communicate with people everywhere. This is really nasty. First of all, you don’t want to travel abroad — you are quite happy at home. Secondly, why should you talk to a waiter in a hotel in Egypt or listen to an English-speaking guide on an excursion to the Tower of London? Thirdly, who wants to talk to the sales assistant in a French shop or ask somebody for directions in Poland? And finally, you don’t want to meet those cool guys who came to your town on an exchange programme. All these people can just learn Russian, can’t they? 85 You'll always get the news first. This may make you really nervous. Th saying "No news is good news" is right. If you learn to speak English, you' have to watch the international television networks: CNN and the BBC th; broadcast news faster and more professionally than smaller national network You can get them everywhere in the world, so you'll never get any peace an quiet. You'll get access to information on any subject. Nobody needs that muc knowledge. We live in the information age anyway, and you already get mo; information than you want. If you make a bad mistake and learn just or language, English for example, you’ll be able to surf the net day and nigh because most of the websites on the Internet are in English. You will also t able to read any book on any subject. Most books in the world have Englii translations. But reading all night and surfing the net are really bad for yoi health, don't you agree? You’ll learn all about your favourite music group. Imagine that one d: you’ll be able to understand the words of all your favourite English sont What if they are not as good as you thought? Or think: you'll be able to watch British and American films in the origin language. Who knows, you may never want to listen to bad translations agai Don't start! And worst of all: You’ll find a fantastic job and earn a lot of money. Horrib isn’t it? _ Stay away (держитесь подальше) from English and you'll be safe becau top-class diplomats, politicians, scientists and artists everywhere in the woi use English to communicate with each other. You don't want to be one them, do you! Almost all business in Russia today is international. Even a secretary h to write letters in English and speak English on the phone. And if you a really unlucky and get an important job, you may have to go to internatior conferences, read international business newspapers and make reports English.

If I don’t learn English, I won’t be able to talk to a waiter in Egypt. Do you agree that • people who want to talk to you will be able to learn Russian? • if you are very professional, you’ll always get a good job. English won’t be important? • It is more interesting to listen to songs that you don’t understand? • computers are very bad for your health? • no news is good news and too much information is bad for you?

Which of them surprise you? an adapted version of a book— адаптированная книга to get upset — расстраиваться an ability — способность Misha: Mr Grams: Misha: Mr Grams: Misha: Mr Grams: Misha: Mr Grams; Can I ask you something. Mr Grams? Of course, you can. What is it? I get a lot of questions from my friends from school in Russia. They want to know how to learn English. English isn’t too difficult. Everybody can learn it. Your English, for example, is very good. Oh, thanks, Mr Grams. But I started to learn English when I was really young. A lot of my friends think that it’s too late to start now. They have only four years left (y них осталось всего 4 года) before they finish school. It’s not too late. Four years is more than enough. If your motivation is good, you’ll soon make progress. What will they have to do then? They don't have enough money for private schools and trips abroad. They don’t have to do those things. But they’ll have to work on their English as often as they can. First of all, they should buy a good dictionary, because they will have to read a lot of books. But they shouldn’t start with English newspapers or books which may be too difficult for beginners. They should ask their English teacher for adapted versions of English books When they read, they should start a vocabulary notebook and 94 3 write down all the new words with the translations. It is very important to write down examples of the sentences with the new words too. When you do that, you can remember the place of the word in the sentence, which prepositions or articles go with it, and remember it in context. Misha: Should they watch films in English? Mr Grams; They can try, but they shouldn’t get upset if they can’t understand anything. They'll have to watch the same film again and again until they understand better. It is also a good idea to get a copy of the same film in Russian. Misha; Is that all? Mr Grams; Oh, no. They should listen to English cassettes and repeat things after the speakers. That will improve their pronunciation and their ability to understand. Misha: But they are always listening to our teacher. Her English is very good. Isn’t that enough? Mr Grams: Unfortunately, it isn’t. They have to listen to different accents. If they always listen to the same person, they won't be able to understand other people. So if they aren't able to talk to native speakers, they’ll have to use the cassettes! Misha: And what about grammar? They learn a lot of grammar rules by heart. Mr Grams: You don't have to do that. Grammar is very important, of course, but they have to use it. not simply learn the rules. However, they should learn texts and songs by heart. Then they will have longer phrases, not only words in their memory. Misha: Thank you very much, Mr Grams. You’re my favourite teacher. Mr Grams: That’s very kind of you, Misha. 5 Answer the questions. 1. Why is four years enough to learn English? 2. Why should you read adapted versions of English books? 3.

But nowadays when we talk about tabloids and broadsheets, we talk about two different kinds of newspapers: easy reading and quality newspapers. Tabloids report news in a very condensed form. They write about celebrities, the British Royal Family, sport, crime stories and scandals. Broadsheets give their readers long, detailed reports on the latest news and focus on more serious things: politics, economy, government, international events, business, culture.

But unfortunately, the library can’t pay you for it. 123 2 3 4 Mark: Don’t worry about it. It’s a present. Please look after it. Some people want to steal it. Librarian: I’ll send it to the Manuscript Collection. Is that good enough? Misha; What kind of collection is that? Librarian: It’s the place where the most rare old books are kept. Some of the books are very rare. And some of them were saved from fire. Rob: What are you talking about? Who can burn a book? Librarian: In history it has happened more often than you think. When armies conquered new lands and continents, they not only destroyed the buildings or killed people. It was more important to destroy the memory of a nation and the national spirit. Mark: I remember books were burned in Europe at the time of the Inquisition. Librarian: That’s true. In medieval Europe books were often burned because someone decided that they contained dangerous ideas. In fact, those ideas were simply new and different, but people were afraid of them. Misha: You’re right, awful things used to happen. But it was a long time ago. Librarian: I’m afraid people haven’t got much better since then. Books were burned in Nazi Germany and that was about seventy years ago. In fact, in a lot of countries books are still burned nowadays. Mark: You’re joking! Librarian: No, it’s true. And there are a lot of books that are not burned, but banned. That’s very sad too. Rob: But why? Librarian: For the same reason. Books have new ideas that wake people up. But they say, a book that is worth burning is worth reading. 1. Books are burned to destroy the national spirit. 2. Books are burned to make them popular. 3. Books are burned because people don’t like old ideas. 4. Nowadays books aren’t burned anymore. 5. Books that are worth burning are worth reading. 6.

The Inquisition was started in 1184 by the Pope in Rome to fight against heretics, people who didn't agree with (he Church. The Inquisition had the power of life and death over any Catholic and people were afraid of it, but at the end of the fifteenth century things started to change. It was the century of great discoveries. In 1492 Columbus discovered America. In 1497 Vasco da Gama opened up a sea route to India. In 1500 Brazil was discovered, and in 1522 Magellan’s expedition went round the world for the first time. These discoveries put the Church in a difficult position. For centuries it had been telling people: “The world is flat.” But the explorers showed that it wasn’t true. It became clear to everybody that the Earth was round. Worse than that, at the beginning of the 16th century a young Polish astronomer, Copernicus. a) the Earth goes round the sun b) the sea route to India c) (he world is round d) America r'ttOHICJTOKyjii, evil J * jlutuin(dandrtiEi.l>.« t>ii * I'uv Мол uw^ieiatiB. t(i Lessons? 3 127 3 5 came up with a new idea, “The Earth is not the centre of the universe. It revolves around the sun, together with some other planets.” The Catholic Church had to find a way to hide this knowledge from ordinary people. In 1559 it published the Index Liborum Prohibitorum ['mdeks 'libnrum 'prohibitDrum], a list of books that were banned for Catholics, People who read these books were punished by the Inquisition. Any books from the list were burned. Nowadays the Index Liborum Prohibitorum is open to the public.

I think I know why. The diary was written in runes, wasn’t it? Yes, it was, and we always wanted to translate it. Did you know anything about us, the English MacWizards? No, we didn’t, not until my aunt Minnie met Agent Cute on the train. She had come from America to help me during my first weeks in England. Agent Cute told her about the MacWizards and the family treasure, and aunt Minnie understood that the MacWizards were our relatives. But she didn’t steal the secret note — I think Agent Cute lost the note somewhere. But then she broke into our house and tried to steal some of our family manuscripts. That is not true. My aunt is not a bad woman. She just wanted to have a look at your books and find out more about your family. She didn’t take anything. Then she went back to America and told all our family about the English MacWizards. One of my uncles heard about the treasure and decided to find it all by himself. It was Uncle Terry who kidnapped Rob. I didn’t help him. Why did we find the book in your room then? I didn’t know that you were looking for it. I only knew that it was yours after Mark said something at the History club. I was going to return it to you, I just wanted to learn the code and read “the diary of Robin MacWizard”, but then you sent me the virus and found the book in my room. I was so scared. I thought, “They’ll never believe me,” and I ran away. I flew back to my family in America and told them everything. They were really angry with Uncle Terry and me. Then I decided to come back to you and tell the truth. Now call the police if you want to. We don’t want to call the police, Emily.

Our grandfather Robin from the 17th century wanted it too. Mark: How can you say that? Emily: Look, I’ve translated the first page of the diary. But the translation is very strange. I’ve probably made some mistakes. Rob: Let’s look at it. Dear Rob, If you are reading this, it means that you've found all the seven keys. The treasure is in America. Are you already there? Have you met your American relatives? I hope Misha and Mark are with you. Emily: It's very strange. How could Grandfather Robin know your names?

Elmer’s War iiT Tappv birthday, Elmer!” These XXkind words woke Elmer up, but he didn’t open his eyes. For a few seconds he laid in his bed and panicked. It had been happening to him every morning since all his family were killed four years ago... in 1066. Then he remembered: he was safe, in the castle of his uncle. Lord Thorkill of Arden. The only thing that reminded 170 2 him of his past was a golden ring that he had found in the forest and that he never took off his finger. Elmer believed that the ring had saved him four years ago. The boy s face relaxed. He opened his eyes and smiled at the old man, who was sitting next to his bed. ;‘Get up, my boy!” Uncle Thorkill said, “We have a very busy dayt I’m Dull Roblir Baron Miles Crispin and his wife', and “What are you saying, uncle!

How can we be friends?” You are more than a friend, you are like a brother to me, Sigurd. I’ll never £р;ёйе".о°”;Т^ •=" -- bus ‘Jesterday 1 cooked dinner and Lord Thorkill didn’t like it. The cow was cold, the swine was hard and I burnt the deer. So when the cook heard about It, he beat me. He often does that, so don’t worry about me,” “But that’s not true! Dinner yesterday was great. The beef was hot the pork was nice and soft, and the venison Sigurd. Talk to me.’ was very good... Don’t look away. You speak like a Norman! Only the Normans call a cow — beef, a swine — por , and a deer - venison. We, English don’t use these words What’s happened to you, Elmer? Are you forgetting your own language?”' the Mn"* something and remember the day when the Normans killed our parents.” ' I7J “But what are we going to do? There are Normans everywhere Your uncie is the only English lord in the country and he doesn’t want to fight. All he thinks about is his LAND.” “We must run away. I heard about a wonderful man called Hereward. In 1066 the Normans killed all the family and he started a war against them. All the noblest and bravest of the English who want to fight against King William join Hereward. He has made his camp at the Island of Ely near the old monastery, and the monks are helping him too.” “The Island of Ely. That's far away in the wild land of the fens.” “Are you scared of the fens? I'm not. It’ll take us about a week to get there. We have done it once, we can do it again. I'm going today. Are you with me?” “Of course. I'm with you, Elmer.” In the evening when the important guests were gathering in the great hall, the two boys ran away from the manor. They were alone in the forest again like (как) four years before. And again their journey was easy and safe. They didn’t meet any Norman soldiers and the wild animals ran away from them. Elmer knew it was the ring that was helping. Every night before he went to bed he touched the ring and whispered “Thank you”. On the seventh day the boys reached the Island of Ely. There were soldiers everywhere. A friendly monk put them in his boat and helped them get to Hereward’s castle. It was a simple wooden one. and Elmer felt sad. “The Normans are building strong stone castles. It’s good that all these people haven’t seen them,” he whispered to Sigurd. But very soon Elmer and Sigurd forgot all their sad thoughts in their new life. Every day was busy and full of interesting things. Soldiers taught them to fight with a sword, and they even met their leader Hereward, whose nickname was “the Wake”. He was clever, brave and lucky. King William tried to attack the island but he couldn’t get through the fens, and his army always went back with nothing. In the end William understood his mistake. He decided to build a big bridge which would carry his army over the fens (no которому его армия преодо:1еет болота). The Normans came with stones, wood, and animal skins. 172 but they needed builders too. And there Hereward had a great plan. He and his men dressed up as peasants and helped the Normans build their bridge. The English built the bridge as badly and slowly as they could. In the end they built a tower on the end of the bridge. “Why did the Normans want a tower?” soldiers laughed. They didn’t have to wait long for the answer. When the bridge was ready, all the peasants had to leave. So Hereward and his people knew; the Normans are going to attack and were ready. But nothing in the world could prepare them for what was going to happen. Just before sunset everybody heard an ugly loud voice. “I curse you, Englishmen. I have spoken with the spirits. You’ll be dead by the end of this night. All of you!” Elmer looked up. There was a horrible ugly witch on top of the tower. Elmer was afraid of the witches, but suddenly he felt something warm on his finger. It was the ring. And at that moment Elmer was not afraid any more. He looked around and saw the Normans. They were coming, but nobody saw them. All his friends were looking up at the witch and didn’t move. “Don’t listen to her,” Elmer shouted, “It's a trap! Burn the bridge!" Sigurd, who was waiting under the bridge, heard his words and set the bridge on fire. Soon everybody joined him. The Norman army and their witch fell into the cold water of the fens. After this victory Hereward and his friends celebrated for days. Only the monks didn't look happy. They were tired of the war, and they didn’t like simple food and wine. They wanted to return to their nice, easy life without Hereward and his army. Elmer saw this and tried to warn Hereward, but he just laughed. ’ 173 And then it happened. One cold winter night the monks led the Norman soldiers through the woods. They moved quickly and silently, and their attack was deadly. When the sun had set, the sky was red with the flames from burning English homes. Many people were dead, many became prisoners, but Hereward. Ehner and Sigurd escaped. “This is where I must say goodbye to you, Elmer." Hereward said. “Go back to your uncle, he loves you.” “I won’t take anything from him. He is friends with the Normans. He’s forgotten his English blood,” Elmer replied. “That’s not true, my friend, your uncle has been secretly helping me all this time. He has been sending me food and money. He told me about the Norman’s plans. And he knew that you, Elmer, were with me. He’s old; he has no children so everything he has will be yours. That’s a lot of land and money. Take it and be a good master.” One of the richest people in England and the only English landowner a forty-year old Lord Elmer Thorkill of Arden never forgot those last words of Hereward. “Where did Hereward go after that?” he used to ask his friend, Sigurd. “We never heard about his death.” “I think he went straight into legend, my lord,” Sigurd used to answer.

The diary of Marian Fitzwalter Part [ 25 February, in the year of our Lord 1190 ^Гт starting this diary because my life is going to change. Finally. I want to remember every detail of it. It all started yesterday at breakfast when Father looked at me and said: “The girl is sixteen. She needs to learn some good manners and the duties of a real lady. I think we should send her to Lady Isabel, who will teach her.” Since then Mother has been sighing and crying all the time, but my heart has been singing with joy. I’m going to live in a big, rich Norman castle! I'm going to eat good food and learn beautiful songs and fashionable French dances! The minstrels are going to sing for me! What a life! 26 February Leather sent a letter to Lady Isabel. We'll get an answer (in a couple of days. So today was the usual boring day. I got up early and helped the maids sweep the floor in the great hall. After breakfast I had to spin with my mother and her women all day. It was only before dinner that I had some time, so I’m writing my diary. Oh, I forgot. There was a hanging in Nottingham today, but we didn’t go. What a pity! Our family never goes to interesting events like that. Maybe that’s because Mother doesn’t like them. She gets very upset. 177 1 March Still no answer from Lady Isabel. Maybe, she won’t take me? I'm getting worried. Today is the day when our villagers pay my father for the land which they hold from him. Those who have more land pay first. And at the end come the sheep boy, and the widow Megan who has no land but has to pay for her little cottage. This year the faces of the villagers were angry. They swore at my father when they paid. I don’t understand why. Did they have to pay more than usual? In fact, we are not rich at all. My father is a Norman knight. Ten servants, fifty villagers and 100 acres of land is all he got from the King for his loyal services. 2 March f^day I asked Father about the angry villagers. He said that c Jit was none of my business (не мое дело). Then I asked mother. She shook her head first, but then talked to me. “Our villagers are getting very poor,” she said. “Greedy Prince John wants more and more gold and silver and invents more and more taxes which everybody has to pay. He says that our king, Richard, needs / the money, but I don’t believe it.” I like my mother. She is different from all the other women. 1 know. She is brave and always says what she thinks. Mother comes from a noble Celtic-Saxon family. She says that there were kings and Druids in it. Unfortunately, it didn’t help Mother’s family when the Normans came. Her grandfather kept his land, but lost his power. 178 3 March finally got an answer from Lady Isabel! I’m going LI 'in ten days. I have to pack my things quickly. Mother is sadder than usual. I have been thinking about King Richard. I've never seen him, but my father did. Together they went to the Holy Land and fought for Christ against heretics. It’s called the Crusades. Father says that King Richard is fair and brave. For his courage everybody calls him the Lionheart. Unfortunately, on his way back King Richard got into a trap, and now the Austrian emperor keeps him in prison. He wants a large ransom. Richard’s younger brother, John, is ruling England for him. John raises taxes higher and higher but he hasn’t paid the ransom for his brother yet. So maybe Mother is right. He simply doesn’t want to do it. Nobody likes John and his stupid, greedy French friends. I hope King Richard will be back soon, and life will be easier for evervbndv. /Ш ib- L^day is the last day at home. I hope I’ll impress Lady Isabel t. J with my good manners, clothes and appearance. I even washed my hair... Before I went to bed. Mother came into the room. She was very pale, but smiled at me. On her finger there was a golden Celtic ring, which I had never seen before. She took it off and gave it to me. “Take it,” she said, “It’s magic. It’s been in our family since 1066. It has saved the lives of a lot of people. Never take it off, but don’t show it to anybody.” With these words she put a thin chain through the ring and put it around my neck. 1 didn’t understand anything about magic, but I liked the ring. It’s nice and heavy with two big snakes on. 179 13 March C“^he way to Lady Isabel’s castle was not long, and the road was bumpy. Father sent five servants with us. He says that the roads aren’t safe nowadays. Finally, we entered Sherwood Forest. It was quiet there. The big trees have started to blossom and looked magic. But my servants didn’t agree with me. They were obviously scared of something or somebody. Suddenly the shadows around us started to move. A moment later we saw three men in green clothes. My servants shook with horror. One of the forest men stepped forward: ’’What’s your name, fair (прекрасный) lady?” he asked with a smile. His voice was nice, and he had the most handsome smile in the world. “I’m Lady Marian Fitzwalter,” I answered and smiled back (улыбнулась в ответ) at him. Then he asked me about my father and said some kind words about him. After that his friends showed us a short way through the forest, but he didn’t go with us. What a pity! And I don’t even know his name! 20 March ^j’ve been very busy and couldn’t write. Life in Lady Isabel’s t./ cast 'castle is awful. The castle is, of course, big and beautiful, and their great hall is bigger than ours. Their food is better too, but all these things don’t matter (не имеют значения) anymore. Lady Isabel has two daughters and three sons. They all hate me. They call me “Saxon cow” or “Stupid Mary” and never talk to me. I’m so sorry that I have come here, but what can I do now? 22 March Cj'oday some villagers came to the castle for help. One of them, Robert, had a big wound in his leg. Lady Isabel showed me and her daughters how to make medicine. She mixed some sheep fat with some goose blood and dried frog. It was her best ointment. The next villager had a toothache. My idea was that we should pull the tooth out, but Lady Isabel didn’t agree. “If we pull his tooth out, the evil spirits will go into his body,” she said. She put some garlic paste into his mouth. The smell was awful. I just hope it helps. 180 23 March ^Гт praying to God for Robert, I saw him today in the great Hall. He looks c Jvery pale and he’s running a fever. Why doesn’t Lady Isabel let me help him. I know how to do it. Two years ago some pilgrims from the Holy Land stayed in our castle. They were good people and taught me a lot of things. Every summer 1 go to the fields and forests and gather flowers and herbs. Later we dry them, mix medicines and put them into bottles. When 1 use the medicines, I always think about the pilgrims and thank them. 24 March ^poor Robert died, but nobody cries for him. Today there is a big feast in the castle. Lady Isabel’s favourite cousin is going to come for a visit. His name is Guy of Gisbourne. He isn’t very rich, but he’s a friend of the Sheriff of Nottingham and Lady Isabel is proud of him. The feast was horrible. Lady Isabel put (посадила) Guy of Gisbourne next to me. He blew (сморкался) his red nose on the tablecloth, cleaned his teeth with a knife and took all the best pieces from the plate. He was talking about one of his serfs. Whom he was going to hang tomorrow. T 25 March never going to a hanging again. This is how it all happened. v7ln the morning Lady Isabel, her daughters and I put on our best clothes and went to Nottingham. There was a large crowd of people in the market square. Everybody was waiting for the hanging. We bought some pies and ale, but I couldn’t eat or drink when I saw the criminal. He was a thin, tired man. He didn’t ask for help, didn’t look around. I think he wanted to die. And then I heard people in the crowd, “...killed a deer in the King’s forest,” “...had nothing to eat,” “was sick and couldn’t work.” “his wife and daughter froze to death this winter,” “was looking for food for his little son,” “the Norman pigs will soon hang all Saxons!” ’’Where is our good King Richard?” “Robin Hood will get (доберется до) Guy of Gisbourne.” I couldn’t listen or look any more. I ran away. In the evening I was thinking about the new name that I had heard. Who is this Robin Hood? 181 27 March ^/asked Lady Isabel about Robin Hood. She shouted at <_7me and left me without food for the whole day. That’s interesting. Is she scared? 28 March (i^omething is happening. Everybody’s busy. They CL'don’t notice me and leave me in peace. I heard the news at dinner. The Sheriff of Nottingham is organizing a shooting contest and the best archer will get the Silver Arrow. That’s all very exciting. I even forgot about the hanging. 30 March ^•Jt’s bad news. I have finally found out all about Robin Hood. t^He’s a dangerous outlaw who lives in Sherwood Forest and robs everybody who wants to go through the forest. He has a big gang of men who are all criminals. Recently they stole alt the taxes that Sheriff of Nottingham had collected for Prince John. So the shooting contest is a trap for Robin Hood. Everybody knows that he is a good archer, and the Sheriff of Nottingham wants to catch Robin if he comes to the contest. 4 Find in the diary and read out the descriptions of... a) Robin Hood. b) Guy of Gisbourne. c) Marian’s mother. d) Marian’s father. e) Prince John. f) King Richard the Lionheart. g) Life in Marian’s castle.

The diary of Marian Fitzwalter Part II 4 April so excited that I can’t write. Let me start from the very beginning. It t^was a beautiful autumn day and the sun was shining brightly. We got up early and left for Nottingham. People had already started to gather around the archery butts. All the local knights, barons and their wives and families had come with their servants, pages and even their dogs. Some of them had to stand, but some had good seats. We had very good seats too. Lady Isabel always gets the best of everything; she is a very rich landowner and the sister of our Lord Bishop. Then the contest began. It took place on a big field. At one end of the field there were targets for the archers. Each target had four rings: white in the middle (the bull’s eye), then red, then black and yellow on the out side. At the opposite end of the field stood the archers. They all tried to shoot their arrows into the middle. If someone missed the target, he had to leave. All round the field people were watching. They cheered and shouted and groaned. There were some really good archers, and the best of them all was a tall young man in simple red clothes. He was standing very close (близко) to me, but I couldn’t see his face, because he had covered it with a red hood. I looked at the Sheriff. He was looking around nervously. “So Robin Hood isn’t here,” I thought, “Good for him and for us.” 183 2 The contest was coming to an end. The crowd was bubbling with excitement. Now there were only two archers on the field: Gilbert the Handsome and the man in red. Every time Gilbert took a shot, he hit (попадать) the bull’s eye. The man in red did the same thing. The Sheriff's servants moved the targets further away from the contestants. The man in red hit the target, and Gilbert missed (промахнулся). He missed for the first time in the contest, but rules were rules. The man in red had won and the crowd cheered loudly. The winner walked towards the Sheriff. When he came closer he looked at me, lifted his hood and gave me a smile, God! 1 recognized the smile and the man. It was the man from Sherwood Forest. He came closer and 1 could hear his whisper: “Your eyes are shining like (как) stars. I haven't forgotten.” My cheeks blushed. I hope Lady Isabel didn’t hear. The Sheriff was angry as (когда) he gave the prize to the stranger. “Please tell us your name and lift your hood, good man,” he said through his teeth, but the man just bowed and didn’t say a word. Then the Sheriff stood up, came to the man and took his hood off. “Robin Hood!” somebody in the crowd cried. “Arrest him! It’s Robin Hood,” the Sheriff shouted. Suddenly something strange happened. One of the knights who was sitting next to the Sheriff started to shout: “Carry the winner! Carry the winner!” Everybody who had been watching the contest ran towards Robin Hood and lifted him in the air before the Sheriff’s men could catch him. The whole place was in a big mess. Women were crying, men were shouting and arrows were flying everywhere, Robin hadn't come alone. All his Merry Men had come with him. One of them who wore a knight’s clothes had already jumped on his horse and had ridden to the town gates. The others formed a circle around Robin Hood, and together they were fighting their way out of town. Ten minutes later everything was quiet. It was clear to the Sheriff that Robin Hood had escaped again. ^ 184 5 April С rhere’s a letter from home. I have to go back home U as soon as possible. What has happened? 6 April q've been listening to a conversation between Lady Isabel and her daughter, tv I hid behind the heavy curtains, and they couldn’t see me. They were talking about somebody s marriage. Oh, no! It’s my marriage that they were discussing. Guy of Gisbourne wants to marry me. He has already spoken to Father, and Father has agreed. How awful! Lady Isabel doesn’t understand why, but Guy is in love with me and wants to marry me by Christmas Day. Isabel’s boring daughter, Agnes, thinks that I am very lucky! I don’t feel lucky at ail! And if my father has agreed to sell me to this horrible Guy Gisbourne, I’ll run away. I won't be his wife. Never in a million years. I’ll go to Sherwood Forest and become an outlaw... like Robin Hood! 7 April Л’т packing my things. I've thought of everything. I’ll escape on the way г / home. Lady Isabel won’t send a lot of servants with me. I just hope that ni find Robin Hood quickly. The forest is big and if I get lost there..., I don’t want to think about it. I must hope for the best. That’s all. ' 8 April JV|7 У P'^ri didn’t work quite as well as I had hoped. We reached the forest ^ / Ц in the afternoon. My servants were tired and sleepy, and I was playing with the ring on the chain and dreaming about my future life in the forest. Suddenly we all saw a knight on the road. There were about twenty men with him. It was Sir Rodger de Longchamp, my family’s worst enemy. My brave servants rode forward and prepared to defend me. But what could the poor villagers do against the swords of de Longchamp’s men? I turned my horse round and tried to ride away. It didn’t help. Very soon de Longchamp rode up to me and took my horse by its bridle. But suddenly there came a sound like a bee buzzing and Sir Rodger de Longchamp groaned and fell off his horse. A long arrow was sticking out of his eye. When his men saw it, they ran away in panic, but the long arrows found them everywhere. The next moment I saw Robin Hood. As usual, he was smiling. “You have saved me. but now you’re in real trouble. The Longchamp family is rich and powerful. They will find you,” 1 said to him. “I’m not afraid,” he answered. I killed him because he attacked you, and you're my friend, aren’t you?” 185 "I have heard that you hate all the Normans, so how can we be friends?” I asked. His face was sad for a moment; "I don’t hate Normans. I hate cruelty and greed in people. I take money from the rich and give it to the poor. That’s all I do.” I liked these words. Only a very brave and kind man could say them. After that Robin invited me to dinner. That was the most wonderful dinner of my life. We went into the heart of the forest and under a big oak tree Robin Hood and his merry men ate and sang, and danced and laughed. Robin introduced some of his friends to me. “Here is Friar Tuck. And there is no braver or merrier man than our good friar,” he said and pointed to a fat monk with kind blue eyes. “And here is Little John, the strongest man in the forest and my best friend.” A huge man with arms as thick as trees gave me a wink (подмигнул). “Don’t forget handsome Allan a Dale, our minstrel whose songs fill us with love and joy,” Little John said to Robin and laughed. The dinner came to an end sooner than 1 wanted. In the morning Robin and his merry men followed me to my father’s castle. I hadn’t said anything about my plans to be an outlaw and live in the forest. Robin could laugh at me, he could say No. 10 April Cf^ather was very happy to see me safe. I told him all about my adventure ^ J in the forest. I also told him that Guy of Gisbourne was a horrible, cruel man. Father listened but didn’t say anything. What will happen to me? Will I ever see Robin again? I think... I’m in love with him, 30 June L7)obin and I have just got married at Edwinstowe church! It was a secret cJVwedding, because Father doesn’t know yet, but Mother came and was very happy for me. Now I’m going to live in Sherwood Forest with Robin and his friends. I’ll never have any land. I’ll have to forget about nice dresses and warm beds, but I won’t miss that. I’ll be with the man who I love. Mother says that the ring has brought me luck. I’m not sure... 186 Put the events in the correct order. Which of the events are not mentioned in the story? 1.

In 840 the King of the Scots and Piets, Kenneth MacAlpine. put a big stone on top of Moot Hill in Scone. It was not a simple stone: when the rightful king sat on it, the stone cried and sang. Ordinary people didn't hear the voice of the stone, but we, the children of this land and mountains, we, the Druids, heard it as clearly as other people hear the sound of the wind. At that time the words of the ancient family oath were heard for the first time: “I am from the Clan MaeWizard. By earth and water, wind and fire I swear that I’ll give my life to protect Lia Fail. No wrong man will ever rule my country. Let the prophecy come true! Fight for the ring! Fight with the ring! Fight in the ring!” Since then every Scottish king had been crowned in Scone on Lia Fail. It had been called many names: the Stone of Scone, the Stone of Destiny, the Coronation Stone, but we, the guards, always called it Lia Fail. Very few people knew about us, we didn’t show our faces at coronation ceremonies, but every time the king sat on Lia Fail, we heard the powerful voice of the stone, ft sang a song of glory to our free country. Ten years ago we, the guards of Lia Fail, let the enemy take it away and... stayed alive. "Dreaming again. Douglas? You'd better go and get some wood.” (Ты бы лучше пошел и собрал немного дров.) Dorell’s voice brought me back to reality. I didn’t answer, but took my knife and went out of our little cottage in the middle of the forest. In fact, Dorell was my grandfather, but I called him by his name because we had never been close. Maybe a long time ago when I was a child, I loved him, but I don’t remember. Ten years ago when 1 was six. the English came to Scone Abbey to take Lia Fail. All my family had been killed long before that, but Dorell was at the abbey. He is a wizard, he could stop King Edward, I knew it, but he did nothing. He stood and watched 189 as the English king took our stone and carried it away. I can’t forgive Dorell for that. It was a lovely spring day. On a day like this you can easily forget all your troubles, but this was Scotland in the year of Our Lord 1306, a country which had seen nothing but (кроме) war in the last twenty years. So when I saw a group of armed men, I wasn’t surprised. One of them was riding in front of the group. They were Scots and they were in trouble. From where I was I could see another group following them. These were the English and there were a lot of them. I hated the English. They took our land and our castles. I sighed with relief when the Scots noticed the danger too and ran in different directions. They had hoped to hide in the forest, but their enemies were faster. Five of them attacked the Scots’ leader. He was a strong man and fought bravely. Four of the attackers were killed, and the Scot ran into the forest. 1 ran towards him to help, but when he came closer, I was sorry about my decision. I could clearly see the red and gold coat of arms of Clan Bruce of Annadale, The man in front of me was Robert the Bruce, the most important person in Scotland and the claimant to the Scottish throne. A lot of people loved him and hoped that he could become our leader in the war against the English, but Bruce could never make up his mind. He was half Norman, half Scottish, and his lands in England and in Scotland made him a very rich man. So though he liked to talk about his love for his country, in fact he preferred to wait, watch and be friends with everybody. “A man like Bruce doesn’t need my help,” I thought and was going to run away when T heard Bruce’s voice. “Help, please, don’t leave me, boy,” he whispered. “I’m wounded.” I couldn’t leave anybody to die even the two-faced Bruce, who deserved it. I took Bruce to our little cottage, put him by the fire and gave him some medicine. When he got better, he offered me a reward for my help. I didn’t want to take anything from him, but suddenly I saw a big 190 golden ring on his finger. It had Celtic snakes on and was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. “I want your ring,” I said. Bruce’s face darkened; “This ring is my greatest treasure. I got it from my father and he got it from his grandrnother Isobel. The family legend says that she was the daughter of Robin Hood." "Well, then keep the ring and forget your promise,” [ laughed. “Don’t worry, you’ve broken more important promises in your life.” Bruce took the ring off his finger and gave it to me. “You are right boy, a promise is a promise,” he sighed as usual. In the evening Dorell came home and saw our guest. To my surprise he didn’t shout at me. For a moment I even thought he was glad to see Bruce. Unfortunately, Dorell sent me out of the house for the whole night. The next day was 25 March a date I’ll never forget. Dorell called me early that morning. “Get ready for the coronation ceremony,” he said. “We don’t have Lia Fail anymore, so the MaeWizards, have to come to the ceremony and declare Robert the Bruce our new king.” I said nothing: it’s useless to argue with Dorell the Druid, the head of our clan. I didn't love him before but then I really hated him. Dorell was going to give the crown of Scotland to the murderer who had killed the other claimant to the throne. He had chosen the man who had betrayed William Wallace to be our king! Everybody knows the story. Ten years ago there was hope for Scotland. Our leader was a brave, noble man called William Wallace. He wasn’t afraid of the English and started a rebellion against them. Wallace got support from all the Scots. They left their villages and went to fight for freedom. Wallace beat the English many times, but then he made a big mistake. He trusted Robert the Bruce who had promised to fight on his side. The battle at Falkirk was difficult for Wallace and his soldiers. They were faced by a bigger, better-armed army. At the most important moment just when he was needed, Robert the Bruce left Wallace and his soldiers and rode away from the field. That day Scotland lost its army, but Bruce kept his. How could Dorell forget all that? What was he thinking of? I got through the coronation ceremony. There were very few people in the Abbey, only the most important nobles who supported the future king. Bruce was sitting on the Coronation Chair. For the first time it was empty: Lia Fail wasn’t there any more. The crown was put on his head and the scepter in his hand, and everybody knelt in homage (все опустились на колени в знак почтения). In the end Dorell stepped forward and greeted Bruce in Gaelic: Hail Robert, son of Robert, son of Robert...” and named all his ancestors back to the legendary Scota. the daughter of a pharaoh. 191 Answer the questions, 1.

The honour of the MacWizard clan Part II After the coronation ceremony Dorell came up to me.“Show me the ring,” he said, "the one you got from Bruce,” Without a word I showed him the ring, Dorell’s reaction surprised me. He held the ring as if (как если бы) it was the greatest treasure and for a moment his eyes became warm and kind. "We need to talk,” he said quietly. If I live to be a hundred years old. I'll still remember every word of our conversation. “You've done a good thing, Douglas, because you’ve returned us the ring of our clan.” “What ring? Our clan doesn’t have a ring.” “Do you remember our clan motto?” “Yes. I do. It’s Fight for the ring! Fight with the ring! Fight in the ring! But I have always thought that the word “ring” means the ring of brothers and sisters, all the members of the clan.” “That’s not quite right. Five centuries ago our clan had a magic ring which protected and guided us but it was stolen. Since then we had been waiting for the return of the ring. Now you have it and our clan will rise again.” “Thank you for your kind words. Dorell.” 193 “Don’t thank me yet. 1 have bad news for you too. You have taken that ring from someone who needs it more than us. The future of all Scotland is in Bruce’s hands. If he is killed, there’ll be no hope for our country.” “Let him have it back if he wants it.” “He won’t take it back. He doesn't want to break a promise. So you’ll have to go with him and protect his life.” “I’ll do no such thing! I won’t risk my life for Bruce, a murderer.” “Oh, don’t worry about your life. The person who wears the ring will never be killed.” “How do you know'?” ' “There are a lot of things that I know and you don’t. But one day, you’ll find out. You’ll remember me then.” These were the last w'ords that Dorell said to me. I wasn’t going to see him again, but 1 couldn’t know it then on 25 March in the year of Our Lord 1306, as I packed my things. As soon as the English king, Edward, found out about the coronation in Scone, he sent new armies to Scotland. Bruce decided to fight, but he had no support from the Highland clans, his army was too small. The English beat us at Methven and we had to go into hiding. We lived the lives of outlaws: picked up branches and made forest huts, slept on animal skins, ate berries and fish. There was no place in our country where we could feel safe. Then we fought again and lost another battle. Every year it was worse. As time went by, Bruce sent his family and friends away to safety, but it didn’t help. Three of his four brothers were executed and his wife and sister were captured by the English. I stayed with Bruce. Though we didn’t become friends. I changed my opinion about him. He was intelligent and well educated. He spoke Gaelic, English. French and even Latin. He loved his wife and brothers and worried about them. When he learned the terrible news about them, he was ready to give up. So I was right about him. He wasn’t a real patriot, he thought only about himself. On Midsummer’s Day, 24 June 1314, on the field of Bannockburn Bruce was waiting for the new English king, Edward II. He was coming to Scotland with the biggest army that an English king had ever led. When we saw the army a distance, it was the most beautiful and most terrible sight. Fifty thousand men in shining armour were moving like a dark shadow. 1 looked at Bruce, but couldn’t understand the expression of his eyes. Was he going to pay homage to the enemy or was he going to fight? Suddenly he got off his horse and knelt. My heart fell. Everything was over. "Why are you 194 kneeling? Are you going to ask for forgiveness?” I shouted angrily. “Yes but I am asking it from God, not from the English king," Bruce smiled Then he turned to his army and shouted: ‘The future of Scotland will be decided today If any of you is not ready to win or die, leave now”. At that moment thousands ol Scots drew out (вынули) their swords and prepared to fight It was a great battle where we won, and the English king ran to save his life Alter the battle of Bannockburn Bruce and I became friends. For me he was the rightful King of Scotland and a hero. Probably Dorell was right about him after all _ (b конце концов). Years passed and I stayed with King Robert the Bruce. Together we fought and won many battles, and many times I saved Bruce’s life. Dorell hadn't lied: the ring saved me from the enemies’ arrows and swords and I never had a scratch. Finally, in 1320, it was clear that the war was coming to an end. All the Scottish nobles gathered at Arbroath and signed the Declaration of Independence. On that day Scotland declared to the whole world: “For so long as one hundred of us remain alive, we shall never submit to the domination of ihc English, for it is not for glory we fight, withwhich no good man loses, but When we were celebrating, a young man came up to me. “News from Scone he whispered. “What’s happened?" I asked. “Your grandfather, Dorell acWizard, has died. You must leave for Scone as soon as you can. That was your grandfather’s last wish.” The next day 1 was at home and prepared everything for the funeral At midnight i came to the sacred trees in the middle of the forest “Hail to our ancestors! I started, “Hail to our children!” Normally during the ceremony the whole family repeated these words after the senior Druid, but all my family had been dead for years. “Hail to our mysteries,” I continued “Hail to our mysteries!” voices around me repeated. I couldn’t believe my ears’ Was It the wind in the trees? I looked around. The spirits of all my ancestors were around me. Their hair and clothes sparkled with silver in the light of the moon. “Hail, the last MaeWizard of the clan MaeWizard,” they said. “Your pandfather is with us in Summerland. He was a great Druid. Are you ready to do your duty? I didn’t know what to say. “What duty are you talking about, ancestors . I asked, “ There is no duty anymore. We have lost Lia Fail and our clan is dishonoured.” “You are wrong, young MaeWizard.” came the 195 answer, “and now is the time for you to learn the truth. Four hundred year ago when Kenneth MacAlpine put the sacred stone on Moot Hill, a prophec was made, “Unless the fates shall faithless prove. And prophet’s voice is vain. Where this sacred Stone is found, The Scottish people shall reign. “But the stone is now in England,” I whispered. “Does that mean... coul that mean... that soon the Scots will reign in England?” “You are clever, young MaeWizard, your grandfather will be pleased whe we tell him that, finally, you have understood! Yes, the Scottish kings wi rule England one day. The prophecy has started to come true. Your fami: is connected with the stone. You must wait and when it’s time to act, you know.” The spirits of the old Druids disappeared. I was alone in the forest and on the ring on my finger felt strangely warm. 4 What are the people in the pictures saying? Write their words down. Покуда вера есть богам. Пророка глас не лжив.

Death has come to the quiet rooms in the huge Greenwich Palace, where this woman was born forty-two years ago. The woman was Mary, our Queen, the most hated person in England and... my best friend. The Queen was crying. She had been crying for days, I was told. Nobody knew why. Was she crying about he husband whom she had loved so much and who had never loved her? Was shs crying about the children that she had never had? Or was she thinking abou 198 the thousands and thousands of good, brave people who had been burned at the stake on her orders? The door to the room opened and a group of men dressed in black came up to the bed. It was the Queen’s council. “The heir”, one of them whispered to the Queen. “Your Majesty must name her sister Elizabeth as her heir” Suddenly Mary sat up in the bed. “Not her!” she shouted, “Not Elizabeth. Not the daughter of that witch Anne Boieyn, who ruined my life. I can't forgive her...” Suddenly all her strength left her and she fell back on the pillows. When will her Majesty wake up again?” the members of the council asked the doctors. The people in the streets are getting angry. They call the Queen Bloody Mary. They want Princess Elizabeth for their queen. There will be a revolt if we don’t do something.” I couldn’t listen anymore. “Bloody Mary” that’s what my poor friend will be called after her death. It was all my fault, and at least mv family had to know the truth. I sat down and started to write. I cried when I remembered the tragic events of the past; the story of Mary Tudor. I come from an old Scottish family, the MacWizards and was born in Edinburgh in 1500. “The magic year,” my father always laughed. “You will be the greatest woman in our family.” I believed him: he was the most famous astrologer of our time. When I was nine, the English king, Henry VIII, invited my father to his court. The King was going to get married to a Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, and needed my father’s advice. Father took me with him. “It will be interesting for you to see London and the great court of the young king,” he said. We arrived in April. It wasn’t London or the court that impressed me most. It was the King himself. He was eighteen and to my eyes he was the most handsome man in the world. Henry was tall and muscular. His golden hair shone in the sunlight and his merry blue eyes were kind and clever. He was the strongest athlete, the best poet, and his music touched the heart of every lady at court. He smiled all the time, and when he looked at his young bride Catherine everybody could see that he was really in love with her. I thought Princess Catherine was very lucky with her future husband. She was twenty-three, five years older than Henry, and not a great beauty. She had already been married to Henry’s elder brother, but he had died. Henry wanted to know about the future of his marriage with Catherine so my father promised to make a horoscope for the King and his bride. The day it was ready Father woke me up in the morning. He looked like a madman. I got scared. “What’s happened. Father?” I cried, “You look awful!” “It's the horoscope. It’s ready,” my father whispered. "Have you showm it to the King‘> Did he hke it?” I asked. “Show it to the King!,” Father laughed, “No. never! The King must never see it.” “You’re scaring me. Father," I cried, “What did the horoscope say?” 199 And then he showed me the horoscope. I was only a child, but my father had already started teaching me and the prediction was simple enough even for a child. There were two possible lines. The first line showed Henry and Catherine together. They were happy and smiled at each other. The second line showed Catherine alone. She was dying in a dark, wet room. King Henry was an ugly old man, and his hands were covered with blood. Between them I saw a woman. She was pale with long dark hair and six fingers on her left hand. And I saw the shadow of the girl. In horoscopes it means possibility. The girl had beautiful golden-red hair which shone in the sun behind her. In her hands there was the crown of England and... with that crown she was crowning a Scottish king! Father looked at me and saw the understanding (понимание) in my eyes. “Listen, Edina,” he said, “Listen carefully. If the King doesn't meet the woman with long dark hair and six fingers on her hand, he WILL be happy with Catherine, but we can’t tell him about that. You know all about the ancient prophecy. For centuries we, the MacWizards, have been waiting for this chance. Now it's time to act. I won't show the horoscope to the King. I'll tell him that I couldn’t make it. Then I'll go home, but you will stay here and wait for the child with golden hair. Guard her like a dog, give your life for her if you have to, but that girl mustn't die. She must become the Queen of England and then give the crown to a Scottish king!” “But I'm only a little girl, and I’ll be all alone at the English court. How can 1 protect the child?” I asked. “You will not be alone,” Father said. “Take the MacWizards’s ring, and magic which is older and more powerful than anything in the world will be with you.” Father took the big, gold ring with snakes off his finger and gave it to me. I had seen that ring before. It was the biggest treasure of the family. “Remember; anybody who wears this ring will not die until he does what he was born for,” Father said. “Father,” I cried. “You should give this ring to Donald, my younger brother, not to me. The magic ring shouldn't go to a girl!" But Father put the ring on my finger. “A girl is sometimes better than a boy,” he smiled. “A lot of people will have to learn that soon.” Father’s plan worked. The King took the silence of the stars as a good sign. Henry also allowed me to stay at the court and asked Catherine to look after me. On 23 June, a sunny day, Henry and Catherine were crowned in Westminster Abbey. Everybody was happy for them. “Long live the king, long live Henry VIII!” I shouted together with thousand of other people “Long live Queen Catherine!” On that day I didn’t want to think about the gloomy future of that marriage. 200 Years passed and I lived at court as one of the Queen’s ladies-in-waiting. The King and the Queen were happy together. Catherine was kind and helped her husband with everything. Like him (как и он), she enjoyed music and dance. The King asked the Queen’s advice and followed it. There was only one problem: Catherine couldn't give Henry an heir to the throne. None of their children lived for longer than a month. Catherine was getting very depressed, but Henry didn’t lose hope. ’ On 18th February 1516, seven years after her wedding day, Catherine gave birth to a healthy girl. I held the baby in my arms and went to the window. When I opened the curtains, my heart jumped. The girl’s hair shone in the sun. The red-haired princess had come. There wasn’t going to be any woman with six fingers. The girl was called Mary, I looked after her from the first day of her life. She was the little sun ol our court. The King used to carry her on his shoulder and show her off. “This is Mary,” he used to say. “My pearl! The diamond of all England!” Mary was not only pretty but also clever. She took after both her father and mother. The princess was kind and religious like her mother, and she got her strong character and great talent for music, poetry and languages from her father. Mary’s perfect childhood came to an end when she was about ten. One day I found my little princess in tears. “1 don't want to go away! I want to be here with Mother and Father, Why should I go to Wales?” Mary was crying. “Because the King wishes it." the Queen answered. She saw me and smiled proudly: “The King wants to crown Mary Princess of Wales. It means that she will become the Queen of England after him. Oh, Edina, it’s the best news I’ve had for years.” she whispered. I felt sorry for her, Catherine looked old, tired and ill. She couldn’t have any more children and all her hopes were tor Mary. I explained to Mary that she was a big girl now and a future queen and that she had to learn to live alone and think for herself, but she was still very sad. It broke my heart when I saw her and King Henry together. Mary was trying to hide her tears from her father. “Why? Why are you doing this to me?” her eyes asked, but she didn’t say a word. I went to Wales with my princess. Our new castle was big and comfortable but Mary missed her mother terribly. She wrote letters to her every day. Six months later we went to London for Christmas. Mary was the happiest girl in the world. She was with her father and mother again. I was glad too I enjoyed everything we didn’t have in Wales: beautiful dresses, music, games and feasts. On Christmas Day there was a carnival. I was dancing and laughing when suddenly I noticed a strange lady who was not wearing a mask. Her hair 201 was as black as niglit, her eyes as dark as onyx and her skin as pale as snow. She was slim and wore a black and white dress with very long sleeves. She wasn’t beautiful, but everybody was looking at her. A tall man came up to her and asked her to dance. His eyes were fixed on her, he didn’t notice anything around him. That moment 1 recognized the man. It was the King! She put her hand into his and I saw that she had six fingers. Thai’s how I met Anne Boleyn, the woman who changed our life and England forever.

The princess was sent away from London and the King didn't invite her to come again. She wasn’t called the Princess of Wales anymore, and we had to move to a smaller castle. She asked me about these changes, but I told her nothing, though I knew the truth. My friends at court wrote to me regularly. “The King is madly in love with Anne Boleyn. He went to her castle and spent a week with her family. He wrote a sonnet for her. She wants to become his wife and the Queen of England.” one letter said. “Nobody sees Queen Catherine anymore. Anne Boleyn always sits next to the King,” I read in another letter. And finally I learnt that the King was trying to gel a divorce from Queen Catherine. The only problem for the King was the powerful relatives of his wife. They wrote to the Pope in Rome and he refused the King a divorce. That was good news. What could the King do against the Pope? One day we were told that the King was going to visit us. That was a surprise: the King hadn’t visited his daughter for years. He even forgot to send money for new clothes. The night before the visit Mary couldn’t sleep. “Whv doesn’’l my father talk to me? What have I done wrong?” she asked “It’s” because you’re not a boy, Mary,” I sighed, “The King doesn’t believe that a woman can rule England.” “It’s not fair,” Mary said. “No, it's not. but your father IS thinking about England, not you. Not long ago there was a terrible war in England, the War of the Roses. It started because the last king hadn't left an heir. The War of the Roses continued for thirty years. Your grandfather ended that war and became a strong king, your father is also strong and he needs a strong son to rule England.” I explained. Next morning the King arrived, but he came with Anne Boleyn! When Marv ^w that, her eyes filled with tears, but she was a princess and said nothing. The King took his daughter to another room for a private talk. Later she told me everything. The King told her that he wanted to divorce her mother. He said that their marriage was not right because Catherine had been his brother’s wife. “That was against God’s law,” he said, “That's whv I didn't have any sons. This marriage is cursed.” * “But what will happen to me. Father?” Marv asked. The King looked away '■If the marriage was not right, you can’t be a real princess. Ma'ry I’m sorrv ” he sighed. • ‘ 205 “So you’re making me a bastard, your Majesty?” she said calmly. “What does it matter to you?" the King shouted, “You’re a useless girl and will never rule England. I need a son and П1 have what I want!” he shouted. “Г11 never agree to that! I am your daughter and one day I will be queen.” Mary answered proudly, but the King was already gone. Seven years passed. Mary had no money, the castle where she lived was almost a ruin, but she was still a princess. The King had been trying everything to get a divorce from Catherine, but the only (единсггвенный) person who could decide, the Pope in Rome, said “No.” In the end nothing mattered for the King anymore. He ( Sir Thomas More ) divorced Catherine and married Anne Boleyn. When the Pope found out, Henry w'as excommunicated. Then the King declared himself the head of the church in his own country. England was not a Catholic country anymore. Henry called his new church the Church of England. The people didn't like the new religion and hated Anne, but anyone who didn't agree with the King was executed. It was all done for the love of Anne Boleyn. The King had promised to marry her and he kept his word. Anne was crowned Queen of England. Three months later she gave birth to a child... The news brought a smile to Mary’s pale face for the first time in many years. The child was a girl. Soon after her half-sister was born, the Princess was sent for. The King's messenger Lord Norfolk was very rude: "Lady Mary is not a princess anymore, she’s a bastard,” he said. “There is only one princess in England: Elizabeth, the Princess of Wales. Queen Anne is very kind to Lady Mary: Mary will be a servant for her daughter, Elizabeth. She must pack her things and go with me. Because she’s now a servant herself, her ladies-in-waiting can’t go with her.” Lord Norfolk took Mary away, and I didn’t have time to talk to her. I heard that she was at Hatfield House and Anne Boleyn's relatives were horrible to her (ужасно относились к ней) and made her do the dirtiest work. But that didn't worry me as much as the news from London, from the court. My world and the world of thousands of other people was falling apart. The King was becoming a monster. All the good that was in him had gone. It was all Anne Boleyn’s fault. She had taken away our kind, handsome knight. The King wrote a paper, which everybody had to sign. He called it a double oath. People had to agree that the King was the head of the Church of England and that the children of Anne Boleyn were the only heirs to the English throne. Those who refused to sign were executed. One of them was Sir Thomas More, the King's best friend and advisor. Mary was the only person who hadn’t signed it and was still alive. 206 niew myfacfi solsenttherine ■ you arc wa?g;.iigt нГ.м%;и:: ,r the double oath.

I saw Jane Seymour. She was nice and kind. Then I saw their son Edward. Finally, the King had what he wanted. And then the trees in my forest cried. Jane died. King Henry married three more times (eiite три раза), but his marriages didn't last long. He quickly divorced his fourth wife, a German princess called Anne of Cleves, because he didn't like her. His fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was Anne Boleyn's cousin, but she was too young and beautiful for him. The King was old and jealous. Catherine was accused of adultery and executed like Anne Boleyn. Henry’s sixth wife, Catherine Parr, looked after him like a mother and he died in her hands. After that I finally had some peace in my forest. I saw Prince Edward... he became king. He was only ten, but clever and kind. He looked after his people and opened schools for the poor. He loved both his sisters, Elizabeth and Mary and all of them were great friends. But one day all the leaves on my trees turned yellow. Edward died. After Edward, Mary had become queen. She was 37. In the beginning she was fair and popular with her people. She was a Catholic, but she was ready to compromise with the Church of England too. Then things started to change. The next five years were the worst time in my life. The magic trees cried and groaned, and the ground was covered with blood. Mary became the worst queen England had ever had. People who refused to become Catholics were burnt at the stake. There were thousands and thousands of them. Like a maniac (подобно маньяку) Mary was trying to turn the clock back and wipe out the memory of her father Henry and Anne Boleyn. 208 Mary forgol her friendship with Elizabeth. She didn’t trust her sister and thought that Elizabeth wanted to be queen. Elizabeth was put in the Tower of London. One day I heard Mary’s voice. She was calling me. I had to go and see her. that’s why I was in Greenwich Palace on that grey, gloomy morning 16 November 1558...” The council waited by the Queen’s bed. She opened her eyes saw me and smiled. “The heir,” she said quietly. “Of course, gentlemen. Let it be Elizabeth... My SISTER.” 1. Why did the King want to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon‘S 2.
