Palace

Buckingham Palace in London, England, is one of many tourist attractions in the United Kingdom. It is the London home of the Queen and is probably one of the most famous buildings in the world.

More than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests at banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and Royal Garden Parties. In the summer, organized tours take visitors to see some parts of the Palace.

The Queen lives in the Palace, but many people also work there. Inside, there are the offices of those who help with the daily activities and duties of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and their family.

Living in New York City is a big change for the Petrovic family. They live on Fifth Avenue, a very long street in Manhattan. Their new four-room apartment is in a building which is twenty-five storeys high. The family lives on the fifteenth floor and they have a lovely view of Central Park.

Their day starts at 7am when they all get up. They always have breakfast together. Mr Petrovic leaves at quarter to eight. He often drives to work, but he sometimes takes the subway, which is much faster. The kids usually leave for school at 7.55 am and they get on the school bus at the bus stop near their house at 8 o’clock.

Mrs Petrovic has a job in a flower shop in the neighbourhood. She works there from 10am to 2pm three times a week. She never drives or takes the bus to work because it only takes 5 minutes on foot.

The kids always have lunch at school and they return home at about 4pm. They have a snack and do their homework. When father gets back from work at 6pm, they all have dinner. They rarely go out in the evening, but their Serbian friends often call on them.

Melvyn is staying in France at the moment. He goes to Paris every year with his family. It is one of his favourite towns in Europe, so he is writing an article for the Culture Crew magazine about it.

Paris

France is the largest country in Western Europe and over 60 million people live there.

France is famous for its natural beauty. When you visit France, you can swim in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea or you can climb the highest mountain in Europe, Mount Blanc, which always has snow at the top. The longest river in France is the River Loire and the beautiful River Seine runs through Paris, the capital city.

Paris is a city that is famous for fashion and romance.

It has many well-known buildings, including the Louvre art gallery with its glass pyramid and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Of course, everyone knows The Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 and is 324m high. You must climb 1665 steps if you want to reach the top. Its architect was Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and he helped to design the Statue of Liberty in New York in 1885.

France is also famous for its food – more than 350 different types of cheese come from France. People in France like to drink their hot chocolate from bowls and dip their bread into it! In France, this is part of the culture, but when I try it at home, my mum gets angry!

NOUNS

– are words used to name persons, things or ideas.

There are different types of nouns: • Proper nouns, which always start with a capital letter; e.g. Nick, Marko, England, Serbia, June, Sunday • Common nouns, which always start with a small letter; e.g. a book, a chair, an apple, milk, sugar • Countable nouns, which we can count and which have a singular and plural form; e.g. This is a book. There are ten books.

• Uncountable nouns, which we cannot count and only have a singular form; e.g. sugar, water, butter, milk; There is some milk in the jug.

• Abstract nouns, which name things we cannot see or touch; e.g. luck, size, fun, language, truth • Compound nouns, which are made up of two or more words; e.g. dining room, make-up, babysitter, T-shirt, pen-friend, fish-and-chip shop • Singular nouns, which are used to talk about one person, thing or idea • Plural nouns, which are used to talk about more than one person, thing or idea. We add s or es to most singular nouns to form a regular plural noun; e.g. cars, books, boxes, watches There are some nouns that do not follow this rule and they are called irregular plural nouns ; e.g. feet (plural of foot), teeth (plural of tooth), mice (plural of mouse), children (plural of child), etc.

VERBS

– are words used to say what someone or something does or what happens to them. The base form of the verb is called the infinitive and is often used with ‘to’ in front of it; e.g. to go, to work, to see

There are different types of verbs: • Regular verbs, which form the past tense and the past participle with -ed; e.g. to work – worked – worked • Irregular verbs, which have no rule for making the past tense and the past participle; e.g. to go – went – gone • Modal verbs, which are used with other verbs and have an infinitive without ‘to’ and have the same form for all persons: e.g. must, can, may, should; I can run fast. She can sing well.
