A. During the 17th and 18th centuries, British navigators sailed across the seas with the aim of extending Britain’s power and prosperity. They colonised new territories around the world, bringing their language with them. English was enforced as the official language of the new colonies, but often words from the local languages started to trickle into the English of the colonisers. This occurred most frequently where an equivalent word did not exist in English.
B. Gibraltar, colloquially known as The Rock, (or simply Gib), is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom sitting at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea. The very small country is less than 7 square kilometres. It is bordered by Spain to the north, so the people of Gibraltar, who are British citizens, are naturally bilingual in English and Spanish. However, Gibraltar’s only official language is English.
C. The Gibraltar is of great strategic importance as it lies on the narrow stretch of water between Europe and Africa right at the point where the Mediterranean joins the Atlantic Ocean. The British recognised this and made Gibraltar a colony in 1713. Today, it is the only British possession in the Mediterranean. British possession of Gibraltar is a sore point with Spain, which borders it. But, as the Spanish say, “Whenever we talk about Gibraltar, the British talk about the weather or tea.”
D. The Strait of Gibraltar is the narrowest crossing point for birds migrating to and from Europe and Africa. The Rock offers favourable bird watching opportunities. In autumn, thousands of migrating birds stop off on their way between their breeding grounds in northern Europe and their wintering areas in Africa. In spring, they stop there again to feed before continuing their journeys to Western Europe, journeys that may take them as far as Greenland or Russia.
E. Tiny Gibraltar is most famous for its “apes” — tailless monkeys! There are about 160 monkeys living in Gibraltar, in two main areas. They often approach, and sometimes climb onto tourists. Watch out! They are still wild animals and can bite if frightened or annoyed. Legend states that, if the apes leave Gibraltar, Gibraltar will cease to be British. Feeding the Gibraltar macaques is punishable by a fine of £ 4,000!
F. Several planes arrive daily in Gibraltar from Europe and Africa. The airport is famous for the main access road to Gibraltar from Spain called Winston Churchill Avenue, which crosses the runway and closes for each arrival and departure of the planes. When a plane is using the airport runway, cars and pedestrians have to wait on either side, rather like a railway crossing! It is often ranked as one of the most dangerous airports in the world, but actually has an excellent safety record.
G. In 1940, Britain was at war with Germany and Italy and the future looked gloomy for Gibraltar as the enemy surrounded it. The British military leaders believed that an attack on Gibraltar would be fatal for it. They decided to construct a 32 mile-long network of tunnels, to build a fortress inside a fortress, a city within a city. In May 2005 the World War II Tunnels were opened to the general public. Now anyone can walk through this amazing testament to the soldiers and civilians who worked hard inside the Rock during the War.

Greenwich, a green district of South East London, is famous for two things: for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time and for its maritime history. The National Maritime Museum, telling the history of British ships, is situated there. The famous “tea clipper”, a sailing ship from the 1800s named the Cutty Sark, is kept in Greenwich in a dry dock by the river. The ship is open to the public.
The Cutty Sark was built in 1869 in Scotland, for John Willis, a successful London tea merchant. At that time, she was one of the fastest clipper ships ever built. The ship was named after Cutty Sark, the nickname of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns’ poem “Tam o’ Shanter”.
The Cutty Sark was active for only 7 years and made just 8 round-trip voyages to China. Why such a short career as a tea clipper? Unfortunately for John Willis, in 1869 the Suez Canal was opened and steam ships started widely using it. Steam ships could pass through the canal, whereas clipper ships like Cutty Sark could not. That meant that steam ships could cut thousands of miles off the route and reached China much faster. So most tea merchants preferred steam ships to sailing ships.
While the Cutty Sark's career in the tea trade wasn’t very successful, her next career in the Australian wool trade was outstanding. From 1883-95 the ship made the Australian run, bringing wool exports back to London. The Cutty Sark dominated the wool trade for more than 10 years, earning a reputation for high speed on the two-month voyage.
But again, the steam ships spoiled the Cutty Sark’s career, making the Australian wool trade their own. The Cutty Sark was sold to a Portuguese company. She was renamed Ferreira and from 1895 to 1922 she carried cargo between Portugal and the distant corners of the Portuguese Empire.
In 1922 Ferreira was put into Falmouth to repair damage which she had received in a windstorm. A retired sea captain, Wilfred Dowman, saw the ship and decided to buy her. He restored the Cutty Sark to how she had been during her days as a tea clipper. Then the ship was used for naval training until 1951, when she was sent to London for the Festival of Britain. There, the National Maritime Museum put the ship into dry dock at Greenwich in 1954, beside the Old Royal Naval College. A new step in the Cutty Sark’s career began — she was turned into a museum.
Unfortunately, the ship was badly damaged in a fire on 21st May 2007. The following long and expensive restoration lasted until 2012. Nowadays the Cutty Sark is the only remaining original clipper ship from the 1800s. She is a popular London attraction. Visitors are welcome to explore the decks and walk in the footsteps of seamen who sailed the ship between England and China in the 1800s. There are also numerous hands-on exhibits and interactive displays for both children and adults.

Cats and people have been living together for thousands of years. Nowadays, domestic cats are extremely popular pets. According to statistics, they are even more popular than dogs. There is no doubt that cats love people as much as people appreciate them. Maybe it’s because cats and humans share some physiological traits. For instance, a cat’s brain is more similar to a human brain than a dog’s. The regions of the brain responsible for emotion are identical in both humans and cats. Cats also have A and В blood types, just like people.
