Holy Bible2

King James Bible:

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

history 2: Roman invasion

After Celts, Romans were the next occupants of England. Roman Army had been fighting to Galli in France; Britons decided to help their cousins in Gaul which made the Roman leader to punish them by invading England.

Holy Bible 1

To get familiar with the literature of a nation you need to get familiar with their culture and history, too.So let's read a part of Holy Bible every day.This part I have chosen is from King James Bible which is an English translation of Holy Bible for the Anglican Church.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day

history

Today's Englishman is a descendant of different stocks, one of which are Celts:

From around 750 BC to 12 BC, the Celts were the most powerful people in central and northern Europe. There were many tribes of Celts. The word Celt comes from the Greek word, Keltoi, which means barbarians and is properly pronounced as "Kelt".

Celts discovered a new metal for making weapons,iron.That's why this period is called "Iron Age". Iron Age ended in 43 A.D , when Romans invaded Britain.

Three main Celtic tribes were:

Galli ( Celts of Gaul of France)

Gaels (Celts of Ireland)

Britons

winter

Winter is approaching, so it's not bad to read a poem named "winter" by Shakespeare:

Winter

(From "Love's Labour's Lost")

When icicles hang by the wall,

 And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,

And Tom bears logs into the hall,

 And milk comes frozen home in pail,

 When blood is nipp’d and ways be foul,

Then nightly sings the staring owl,

 Tu-whit; Tu-who,

a merry note,

 While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

 When all aloud the wind doth blow,

 And coughing drowns the parson’s saw,

 And birds sit brooding in the snow,

And Marion’s nose looks red and raw,

When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,

Then nightly sings the staring owl,

 Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,

While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
