The Tower of London was originally built by William the Conqueror, following his successful invasion of England in 1066.
The Tower of London is perhaps better known as a prison. The prisoners would be brought across the river from Westminster where have been tried and crowds would wait on the river bank to find out the verdict to see if they would be treated to the spectacle of a public execution. The executioner, with his long sharp axe would stand behind the accused on the boat. If the accused was guilty he would point his axe towards the victim and if not guilty he would point away. People knew that if found guilty there would be a public execution 48 hours later. The responsibility for looking after the prisoners was given to the Yeomen Warders or Beefeaters. These guards, although looking very similar, are different from the Yeomen of the Guard. The Yeomen Warders originate from twelve Yeomen of the Guard, who were once private bodyguards of Henry VIII.
In the centre of the Tower of London there is the famous White Tower. It is the oldest part of the fortress. The Tower, or Bloody Tower as it is known, has been host to many famous executions and imprisonments, including those of Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and Sir Walter Raleigh, Elizabeth I. Many people have been locked in the Tower for religious beliefs or suspected treason.
Elizabeth I was held prisoner in the Tower for two months by the order of her half sister, Queen Mary. Mary felt her throne was being threatened by Elizabeth, so she imprisoned her in the Tower.
For over 900 years, the Tower of London has been standing guard over the capital. As a Royal Palace, fortress, prison, place of execution, arsenal, Royal Mint (where money is made), Royal Observatory, Royal Zoo and jewel house, it has witnessed many great events in British history.
Today the Tower of London houses the Crown Jewels and is open to the public as a museum.
The legend of the Ravens
Ravens have lived at the Tower of London for hundreds of years. Legend has it that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London the White Tower will crumble and a great disaster shall befall England.

Christmas is the time of ( happy) but it's not a good time for everyone. Take turkeys, for example. Every year millions of turkeys end up on a dinner table. But not Lofty. Lofty is a (luck) bird. He was born on a (Britain) farm and has spent many (wonder) hours there. One day it was Lofty's time to go to the market. Anyway, he wasn't as (fortunate) as many other turkeys: nobody knows how but Lofty ran away! He ended up in an animal rescue centre. (Lucky) for Lofty, the people in the centre are all vegetarians, so Lofty's future looks bright.

Good job!

"Как я провел лето"

Это лето было интересным. Первый месяц отдыха очень походил на предыдущие летние каникулы, поскольку я оставался в городе. Однако последующие два летних месяца оказались для меня потрясающе интересными — я провел их в деревне у тети. Именно с этими днями, проведенными за городом, у меня связаны самые яркие события и неизгладимые впечатления моего лета.

Время в деревне проходит неторопливо, совсем не так, как в мегаполисах. Создается ощущение, что целый месяц, тогда как на самом деле — всего неделя. Мое утро обычно начинается с тете в огороде. Наша деревня находится вдали от поселка, и вода из-под крана является неслыханной роскошью. Поэтому я хожу к колодцу с двумя старыми железными ведрами. Вода в нем потрясающе чистая и очень холодная. Еще я тете по дому, но при первой возможности бегу играть с друзьями.

У меня есть хорошие друзья в деревне. Мы проводим вместе все свободное время. В наиболее жаркое время мы часами сидим на берегу речки. Искупавшись, играемся вовсю и смотрим на проходящие баржи. Однажды мне влетело от моей тети за то, что я не пришел на обед. А на самом деле мне совсем не хотелось есть, поскольку вместе с другом Пашкой мы пекли в костре картошку. Это такое удовольствие перекладывать из руки в руку раскаленную картошку, а потом ломать ее и съедать по кусочку. Согласны, что это не тарелка с приготовленным супом? А главное — сколько романтики и счастья в этих летних днях, проведенных как будто в ином мире!

                               "Essay how I spent my summer"

This summer has been interesting. The first month was very much like the previous summer vacation, because I stayed in the city. However, a subsequent two months of the summer was for me really interesting — I spent them in the village with my aunt. These days spent outside the city, I relate the most memorable events and lasting impressions of my summer.

Time in the village takes place slowly, not like in Metropolitan areas. The feeling that a whole month has passed, while actually it's just a week. My day usually begins with her aunt in the garden. Our village is away from the village and the water from the tap is unheard of luxury. So I go to the well with two old iron buckets. The water is stunningly clean and very cold. I also help my aunt around the house, but at the first opportunity ran to play with friends.

I have good friends in the village. We spend together all free time. During the hottest time we spent hours sitting on the river Bank. Swim, play in full and look at the passing barges. Once I was scolded by my aunt for what I came for lunch. And in fact I did not want, because together with a friend, Pasha, we baked in the fire potatoes. It's such a pleasure to shift from hand to hand a hot potato and then break it and eat it piece by piece. I agree that it is not a bowl with the prepared soup? And most importantly — how much romance and happiness in these summer days as if in another world!
