THE HISTORY OF LONDON

The Romans went to England many years ago. They built a town on the River Thames. The name of the town was Londinium. The Romans built Londinium near the river. Soon the Romans built bridge over the River Thames .Londinium got bigger and bigger. The Romans built a lot of roads from Londinium to the other parts of Britain.

Until 1749, there was only one bridge over the river: London Bridge. Now there are more than twenty bridges over the Thames.    

At the beginning of the 11th century England was already a great country and London was a very important city. In 1066 William the Conqueror and his people went to England from Normandy in France.

William the Conqueror became King of England. The King lived in London. But William was afraid of the English, he built the White Tower to live in it.

On Saturday, 2nd September 1666 there was a strong wind from the river and a big fire began. It started in the house of the king’s baker, near London Bridge.

Soon the next house started burning and then the next and the next, as all houses were of wood. The fire burnt until Thursday. Many houses in London were burnt. The fire burnt for four days.

After the Great Fire people built a new city. The city became larger and larger. The railways came and London became richer and richer, but it didn’t become nicer. The city became dark and dirty and people lived in bad houses.

There are still some poor people in London today, but life is better now as there are many new houses and flats. The city is also much cleaner.

The History of America

Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. He was born in Italy but lived in Spain. In 1492 the King and the Queen of Spain gave him money to go to India. He decided to sail west and reached some land. Columbus thought it was India but it was a new continent-America. People began to speak about the land as “the New World”.

Columbus made four trips to the New World.

England became interested in the New World too. The first English settlements appeared in America at the beginning of the 17th century. People sailed from Plymouth, on board the ship “Mayflower”. They wanted to start a new life and to have no problems with church. These people landed in the Northeast of America, set up a colony and called that part of the country “New England”.

The life of the colonists was very hard. But soon the colonists had their first harvest. They decided to have a special dinner to thank God for many things. Wild turkeys were on the table of this meal and since then the turkey has become a symbol of Thanksgiving Day. Now this holiday is celebrated on the last Thursday of November. People go to church, decorate their houses with fruit and flowers and make traditional American food: roast turkey, potatoes and pumpkin.

Native Americans were very friendly. They had some traditions. Among them was smoking of a peace pipe. Now most of them live on “reservations”.

In the 18th century some Americans went to the west to look for new lands and gold. Life in the Wild West was full of danger. That’s why people had to wear guns. Another tradition from the “Wild West” is “cowboy” clothes. Cowboys wore hats, boots and jeans. Jeans were made by a tailor Levi Strauss.

Money does not bring happiness

Almost all nationalities have a proverb "money does not bring happiness". But unfortunately there are very few people who follow to this wisdom.

 To my mind it`s bad for a person to have money. If you have a little money you want more and more and all what you live for is to save up money. Such a person become rude, he doesn`t notice anybody, he can`t understand other people and all he wants is to save up money. In my opinion rich people can`t love and nobody can really love them. If anybody is with them he do it only due to money. Apart from this rich people always expose to danger, because everybody wants to kill them and take their money. That is why they have to have a lot of security. They build big cottages, hire security and live in their own world without other people.

From my point of view happiness is to have friends, family, to love and to be loved and not to be afraid of your life. What is more you feel happy when help people, when do them good. A person can`t be happy living along.

 On the other hand happiness is impossible without money nowadays. Without money you can`t buy beautiful clothes, tasty food, to say nothing of traveling. Now days you can see the whole world, if you have money. And I can`t but say about medicine. Our free medicine leaves much to be desired, that is why if you want to be cured you have to pay money. What is more rich people can afford education in any country of the world and at any university. It gives great opportunity. And of cause you can`t have family without money.

 To sum it up I want to say another wisdom: "nothing must be too much". A lot of money does not bring happiness, but happiness is impossible without money.
