Text: The Tower of London
UNIT 1
The Tower of London One of the “musts” in London is, undoubtedly, the Tower. William the Conqueror started building it at the end of the 11th century on the outskirts of the city of those days. It was meant to be the palace of the monarch, so it had to be big, secure and impressive. For safety it was enclosed in double walls with the Thames on its southern side. There were originally two entrances, the main one on the west side and another directly from the river. The one from the river was called Traitor’s Gate and was for prisoners, who were brought there by boat. Very few of those, who came in through that gate ever came out again alive. A group of tourists have just passed through the entrance and are gathering within the walls. They are going to join a guided tour around the Tower, so that they will learn as much as possible during their stay. They are waiting for their guide, and here he is.
The Tower is still protected by the Yeomen of the Guard, commonly called Beefeaters. They live in the fortress and act as tourist guides. Their uniforms look like those of the Royal guards of the year 1500. Anyone who wants to become a Beefeater must have been in the army for at least 22 years. This means that the Tower guides are usually elderly men, and they very often have a special sense of humour. Beefeater:
Helen:
Beefeater: Emily: Beefeater:
Hello ladies and gentlemen. I’m here to guide you around my favourite place, the Tower of London. The building here in the centre is the White Tower. The King lived in the Castle itself, and below the earth in the cellar there was a very nasty prison. If you have any questions during the tour, please ask! Excuse me, what kind of crime had the people committed to be put in prison? Oh, you know, not very big crimes. Sometimes it was enough to steal a loaf of bread. Here in front of me, on the left, is the execution block of the Tower. It stands on this little lawn called Tower Green.
It can’t have been used very often. I mean the Green and the block are both so small.
Right you are, mate. The block here on Tower Green was only meant for members of the royal family. Don’t forget there was another execution block on Tower Hill outside the walls, which was meant for ordinary people. They had executions there on Sundays, because everyone wanted to come and watch the fun and the games. When the head had been chopped off, the executioner put it on a stake and it was displayed on London Bridge, where it stood until some relative took it away. 163

UNIT 1
I’ve heard that life in prison was very cruel and that the prisoners were badly treated. Is that true?
Absolutely! Badly treated is an understatement. They were tortured, how much and for how long depended on their crime. Could we go and have a look at those instruments of torture I’ve read about?
They’re not here in the Tower any more; but there are replicas of them all in the London Dungeon, at London Bridge tube station. Is there anything to see in the White Tower today?
There certainly is! There’s an exhibition of old clothes and uniforms. And don’t forget the Crown Jewels in the building opposite.

Text: Americans in Ireland
UNIT 3
Americans in Ireland In Ireland you’ll notice that American tourists are very common. And here, there and everywhere you will see graves, monuments and even houses built by Americans, who either have come back to their forefathers’ home country, or have sent money to raise some kind of memorial of their Irish roots. Examples are found in many places: An American monument in Phoenix Park, Dublin, an old grave in Monasterboice, Co Meath, a Mormon Church built out in the middle of nowhere in Connemara, and so on. All this dates back to the early 19th century. Ireland’s population grew rapidly, but the economy declined. Most people were farmers, who cultivated land. but they had to pay high rents to the landlords, who very often were British. The families had not a great choice for their food and they depended mainly on potatoes. But from 1845 to 1847 the potato crop failed in Ireland because of a plant disease. About 750.000 people died of starvation or disease, while hundreds of thousands more left the country for the United States. In those days the USA represented the “Promised Land” for the poor.
The great movement of emigration reduced the population with a quarter, and this went on up to 1921, when Ireland gained its independence. In America the immigrants from Ireland were regarded as the people at the bottom of the social ladder. They arrived penniless and often illiterate, got the worst paid jobs and lived in the worst places. But they worked hard and could soon give their contribution to the growth of their new country. Today the fifth and sixth generation of these immigrants are eager to return to find their Irish roots.

An Irish joke Two Irishmen met and one said to the other: “Have you seen Mulligan lately, Pat?” Pat said: “Well, I have and I haven’t.” His friend asked: “Shure, and what d’ye mean by that?” Pat said: “It’s like this, y’see... I saw a chap who I thought was Mulligan, and he saw a chap that he thought was me. And when we got up to one another... it was neither of us.”
