Introduction
If you like rain, England is the place for you. England is in Europe. Whales, Scotland and England make up Great Brittan. Do you like Religion, Famous stuff, whether, traditional food, team sports or activities? You will learn the English stuff in this book. Well if you do, England is the place for you. Be prepared, it’ll shine for a bit, but ten minutes later it will rain.
This Place Is Amazing Do you like Dover? Well, it’s a city in England. We’re going to talk about the White Cliffs of Dover. The Cliffs of Dover are huge cliffs, about five times a full‐grown man! Do you know why they stay so white? Well, it’s erosion, every year five meters are lost to erosion. A city had to be moved back into the countryside because of erosion! Now you know about the White cliffs of Dover. Ding, Dong, “Did you hear that? That was Big Ben. Big Ben is in London by the River Thames. Big Ben is one of the tallest clock buildings ever and it isn’t just a huge square clock building, it also has a two story hall. The clock might be as tall as fifty full‐ grown men! The hall might be as tall as five 10‐year‐old children and as if it was lying on its side it would be as tall as seven 10‐ year‐old children. Clocktastic, isn’t it? “Wow, I didn’t know that London had an eye.” London has a giant Ferris wheel. I know it sounds weird, but that’s why they call it The London Eye. The London Eye is famous for it’s view and the carriages are totally transparent except for the floor, the roof and poles that mark the corners. “Thanks for telling me about The London Eye, I love it.”
Let’s go outside!
“Tk”, did you hear that? That was someone that just won a game of crockey. Crockey is a game ware you put up eleven to seven goals that are two inches high and one inch wide. You pick a ball and you try hit it through all of the goals with a bat that is wooden and has a meter long handle Once you hit your ball through all of the goals you have to hit a I long, thick, rounded pin. The first person to hit the pin or pole wins. “Tk” hey did you just win? I knew you’d like it.” Do you like rock‐climbing? If you like to you like to rock‐climb you will learn good places to rock‐climb in England. When you rock‐climb you need equipment. This equipment includes a harness, a buddy and a friend. A friend is a three dimensional oval that you can open up on one side with a lock so that you can close the opening. They are about three inches high and one centimeter wide. You can rock‐climb in the Lake District. I’ll meet you at the championship when you’re a pro at rock‐climb. “Shhhhhhh” Did you here that? That was a surfing wave coming into the beach. Surfing is a well‐known activity and very fun. Only boards with three fins can move along a wave but boards with one fin can move with the wave. In England the water is very cold so you need a wetsuit to surf. In Hawaii people surf in board shorts Hawaii is also famous for surfing.“ You made it into the finals? Cool!”
Sports, Sports and more Sports,
Do you know Cricket? Well, I’ll tell you about it. Cricket is a sport like baseball except there are two batters, two bases and outfielders. The bat is flat one on side and rounded one the other. One batter is on one base and the other is on the other base. The batter on the batters base bats. If the batter hits the ball the batters will run to the other base. If the batter gets to the other base, his team gets a point, but if the ball hits the batter the other team gets a point. The teams switch places, from pitching to bating, by the pitcher pitches the ball and the ball knocks down the pins behind the batter.
Rain, Rain, go away If you like rain, England is the place for you. In England it will rain every hour or so. The good thing about that is that it makes England a very green country, but the bad thing is that you can never go outside. There are nearly all of the types of flowers in
England. The rain makes a lot of the sea higher. It would be a great place for peace day.
