DEVELOPMENT At the beginning of the 1960s, pop and rock and roll music of the 1950s continued. By the mid-1960s, rock and roll gradually changed by pop rock , beat , psychedelic rock , blues rock and folk rock. The country and folk style associated with the latterhalf of 1960s rock music gave a generation of popular singersongwriters. The most important singers are Cher , Bob Dylan , Elvis Presley and the bands the Rolling Stone , The Beatles and The Who.

The hits of the decades are… Cher : Cher blows. Bob Dylan: Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance. Elvis Presley: Stuck on You. Rolling Stone : (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. The Beatles: I want to hold your hand. The who: My Generation. CONCLUSION The 1950’s are considered the ‘Golden Age’ of family, where every family was a traditional, nuclear family. This idea disappeared in the 60’s and 70’s by a permissive society, which ‘attacked’ family values. Around the 60’s: 1. Abortions were legalized. 2. The contraceptive pill became free This gave women the freedom to control their bodies and their fertility and freedom and the opportunity to be more equal with men. Some example of these are: 1. Equal Pay 2. Equal Opportunities 3. Divorce Reform etc. In our opinion, abortion must not be legalized in our country.

The Egypt Pyramids INTRODUCTION A pyramid is a solid figure whose base is a polygon and whose sides that meet in a common vertex or apex of the pyramid. The triangular sides are called lateral faces. The altitude of a pyramid is a perpendicular distance from the vertex to the base.
DEVELOPMENT 28
Egyptologists and historians debated the question of who built the Pyramids, and how were they built. Standing at the base of the Pyramids at Giza, for example, is hard to believe that any of these enormous monuments were built in one pharaoh's lifetime. Who built the pyramids? The first pyramid was built by King Djoser during Egypt's Third Dynasty. His architect, Imohtep, created a step pyramid by putting six stones one next to the other. Inside the pyramids, most of the kings were buried. The largest and most well-known pyramids in Egypt are the Pyramids at Giza, designed for Pharaoh Khufu. It is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 laborers were needed to build the Great Pyramid at Giza in less than 23 years. How old are they?
The Djoser pyramid (2630-2611 BC). The Giza Pyramids (2551-2472BC). A selection of 5th Dynasty pyramids (2465-2323 BC). A selection of 6th Dynasty pyramids (2323-2150 BC). A selection of Middle Kingdom pyramids (2040-1640 BC).
What were the purpose of the Pyramids? Their purpose was not architectural but religious; the Pyramids of Egypt were tombs that descended from the most primitive of burial mounds. Apparently the Pharaoh believed that every living body didn’t die with the last breath, that is why the flesh must be preserved against violence and decay.
Papyrus Papyrus is a thick paper-like material produced from the papyrus plant, its use for producing a medium for writing purposes, papyrus was also used for mattresses on beds, for building chairs, tables, and other furniture as well as for mats, baskets, boxes, sandals, 29
utensils, rope and boats. The papyrus root was also a source of food, medicine and perfume.
CONCLUSION We come to the conclusion that it is difficult to believe that the Egypt Pyramids were built by people without any kind of technology. In Fact the building of the Pyramids continue being a mystery for the whole the Humanity.

Research Work English Eiffel Tower
Introduction The world's most famous landmark is the Eiffel Tower. It announces to all that you see: “This is Paris�. It stands on the horizon of Paris and is the major icon in the history of construction of buildings.
Development As the French government was planning the Centennial Exposition of 1889, an exhibition to celebrate the French Revolution, a known engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, was asked to design and build a 31
structure for the occasion. His tower got praise and criticism and a lot of wonderful comments. After the Centennial Exposition of 1889 , Eiffel knew he had to find new cost-effective ways to save the tower. A public company was in charge of the Eiffel Tower for many years but then it passed to the government of the city of Paris. The tower was reconstructed and renovated in 1981-1983 in preparation for its 100th anniversary in 1989. The renovation cost about $ 40 million. The Eiffel Tower is a 984-foot (300 meter) tall and is made of iron; it was the tallest structure in the world. Elevator Company designed elevators with glass walls to reach the first and second stages. From the second floor of the third platform, which is near the top, four balanced elevators go up and down . On the first floor and second floor there are restaurants: Le Parisien on the lower level and La Belle France at the top level. The part in the third Salle (hall) is used for business, conferences, exhibitions, cultural events and social meetings. There is a gift shop and a snack bar on the second smallest plant. Even at this level, it is possible to have a great view of Paris without having to go to the top.
32
Conclusion We chose this monument because we think is the most beautiful of the world.

INTRODUCTION The Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London.
DEVELOPMENT The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Barry was the chief architect of the Palace but Augustus Pugin was the designer of the clock tower. It was his last design before his death. Pugin wrote: "I never worked so hard in my life except for Mr. Barry and fortunately the clock
tower was beautiful." The tower was designed in Gothic style, and is 315 feet
(96.0 m) high.
CONCLUSION At present, the Parliament and the Big Ben are the most important attractions in London. Millions of people walk around them and take a lot of photographs. We’ll wish to travel to London someday to visit the Parliament and the Big Ben.

COLISEUM INTRODUCTION The Coliseum is an amphitheater of the Roman Empire period, built in the century I, in the center of the city of Rome. Flavia Dynasty emperors built it but Nero didn't conserve it. The Coliseum is one of the most famous monuments of classical antiquity which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980 as one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World on July 7, 2007.
DEVELOPMENT THE COLISEUM CLASSIC
35
At 29 AD, Taurus Statilius Roman consul built The Coliseum Classic which was the first large amphitheater of the city, with all necessary facilities. This building was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. From that moment on, there was a need for a new theater for the city . The New Coliseum was built in the same site of the previous one under the rule of Emperor Vespasian, between 70 and 72 AD. THE COLISEUM OF THE MIDDLE AGES The Colosseum had major changes in its use during the medieval period. At the end of the sixth century a small church was built in the structure of the amphitheater, but apparently nobody gave religious significance to the building. In the Middle Age, there was an earthquake that caused major damage and the building was abandoned. COLISEUM IN THE MODERN AGE During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Coliseum was consecrated by Benedict XIV as a holy place in memory of the martyrs executed there.
CONCLUSION The Colosseum is ,without any doubt, one of the great tourist attractions of Rome. It was included into a film multiple times, with digital reconstruction as shown in “Gladiator film “. In 1980, UNESCO declared the Colosseum as a World Heritage Humanidad. Since 2000, the authorities have maintained the building illuminated for 48 hours each time somewhere in the world someone is sentenced to death. 36
Research Work English Coliseum Introduction The Roman Coliseum is located in the center of the City of Rome. Originally it was called the Flavian Amphitheatre, and then it took the name of Coliseum by a large statue located next to it; “ the Colossus of Nero�. Development We know that it was built under Emperor Vespasian, in a place where Nero had built a lake when ordered to burn Rome. No one knows who was given its design and construction to but Rabirius , Severo, Gaudencio or Apollodorus of Damascus were always mentioned .
37
It had a forum for 50,000 spectators where gladiators fighted and many people were the spectators. It was built between 70 and 72 AD. The Coliseum has enormous measures: 188 meters and 156 meters radius larger. It has an elliptical shape. It is 57 meters high. Inside, under the bleachers, the Coliseum has long corridors that permit attendees to enter and exit with ease. The boxes had an anteroom and were used according to the social position of the viewer. Conclusion At present, The Coliseum is the most important attraction in Rome and fortunately it will never be used as a place for fighting and killing people.
