• Why is Great Britain called Great Britain?
The Romans called the land they invaded Britannia
(BRITANNIA) which later became Britain.
Britain consisted of England and Wales, governed by
one king. Scotland was an independent country with
its own monarch.
But in 1606 (1606) when Queen Elizabeth I died
without any children, her cousin James, the King
of Scotland, became King of England too. He had to
find a name for his new kingdom, which consisted
of Britain and Scotland. He called it Great Britain.
And that is how James I became the first king of
Great Britain.

• The Potato Famine.
The potato is a wonderful vegetable full of vitamins
and energy. It is cheap and easy to grow, and the
climate of Ireland is perfect for the potato plant to
grow well.*
In the 19th century, many Irish people were very
poor. They lived on potatoes and had nothing else
to eat.* But around 1848, and for two or three years,
the potatoes were attacked by a disease (une maladie)
and the crops were destroyed.*
A terrible famine followed during which one million
people died – one million – and four million emigrated to Canada and to the United States. That is why
there are so many Americans of Irish descent. You
know one famous American from Ireland. It is
President John F. Kennedy.

Hi there! I’m Laura Mary and I’m 17 years old. I am still at school of course, but on Sundays I work at the
Boston Restaurant, to make some extra cash. I help with the Sunday Brunch Buffet. I work from 1O am
to 3 pm, and I wear a uniform – actually, it’s just a white shirt and a pair of black pants.
My job is to serve the drinks. I walk around the tables with pots of tea and coffee and I say Would you like
another cup of tea, Mam? Care for some more coffee, Sir? I also serve fruit juice for children, and beer –
but only for adults, of course. I also have to check the food on the buffet. If necessary, I go to the kitchen
to get some more bread, or toast, or cereal, or sausages, etc. People always seem to be very hungry on
Sundays!
Oh, and I forgot to say: I’m quite a good musician. I can play the fiddle pretty well. A fiddle is a violin,
in folk music. Sometimes the boss of the Boston Restaurant asks me to play with the band. In fact, that
is what I did last Sunday. We played traditional Irish music and I really loved it! Listen to us!

A trip to Washington DC
Six months ago, Mark went to Washington DC. It is very hot there in the summer, so he didn’t have to take
any warm clothes with him. He stayed with friends who are vegetarians, so he ate healthy food. He had
to help a little with the cooking and the cleaning, but the rest of the time he visited the city. He bought
a lot of souvenirs. The only monument he couldn’t visit was the White House, because you have to ask for
permission a year in advance. (87 words)

After the War of Independence, the 13 states that
formed the United States had to choose a capital.
First, they chose New York City and then
Philadelphia, but the new nation wanted a capital
which was not part of an existing state.* So, in
1791, Maryland and Virginia gave a bit of land along
the Potomac [p‘ətəυmək] River, just to build a
capital on.* A new territory, the district of
Columbia, was born. Then a name had to be chosen,
and of course they chose Washington, in honour of
their first President, George Washington.* The
Federal Government moved there in 1800.* Today,
there are around 600 000 inhabitants in Washington
DC. Can you name the most famous resident? Where

was a sitting-room, quite a large one, with a fireplace. Then there was a tiny dining-room, and at the back
the kitchen, which opened on to the garden. We had a very little garden with grass and some flowers, and
I loved sitting in it when it didn’t rain! Upstairs, there were two bedrooms, and a bathroom. My parents’
room was larger than mine, but I liked mine because I could see the garden when I was working. Our bathroom
was small, too. In fact everything was small, compared to our house here.

Why are the Oscars called the Oscars?
Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences gives a prize for excellence to the best film,
the best actor, the best actress, the best music, etc.*
The prize is a statuette which is 34 centimetres high
and weighs nearly four kilos. It represents a knight
(un chevalier) standing on a reel of film. It is made of
bronze and plated with gold.*
The first Academy Award Ceremony took place in
1929 and apparently, one of the Academy employees
remarked that the statuette resembled her uncle
Oscar.* After that, the members of the Academy
started to refer to the statuette as “the Oscar”, but
the name was given to the ceremony only ten years
later, in 1939. Do you watch the ceremony on television?

Captain Cook was an English explorer. In 1768, he left England for his first voyage. It was a scientific expedition, so there were scientists, botanists and artists on board the ship. When they arrived in Sydney
Bay in 1770, Cook was the first explorer to stop there. He called it Botany Bay, because it was so full of
exotic plants. Cook died in 1779, on his third expedition. He was having a dispute with the inhabitants
of Hawaii – H A W A I I, and one of them killed him. (91 words)

• The “slip-slop-slap” campaign.
Because skin cancer was so developed in Australia,
the Australian government launched the slip-slopslap campaign. When you go to the beach, you must
slip on a T-shirt – slip it on! And you must put on
sun cream. The cream goes slop slop slop. And you
must wear a hat. When you put it on, it goes slap
on your head!
The slip-slop-slap campaign started in 1981 and has
saved many lives. In fact, it worked so well that it
has been exported to other countries, such as Great
Britain, the United States of America and Singapore.
