History of English language

The history of English is divided into three periods usually called Old English, Middle English and Modern English.

The Romans had controlled England for centuries. Thanks to them, many Latin words found their way into the English language.

During the 5th century AD, some Germanic tribes invaded England.

Then, the Normans conquered Britain and French became the language of the Norman aristocracy, adding more vocabulary to English.

Finally, Britain started to colonise other countries, such as Africa, India, Asia...

Easter

Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But it means much more...

It is the oldest and the most important Christian Festival, the celebration of the death and coming to life again of Jesus Christ. There are various traditional Easter food that vary regionally.

Some customs that have become associated with this festivity include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny and Easter parades.

Easter Day in 2014 fell on Sunday 20 April.

The most important invention

On my opinion, the wheel is the most important mechanical invention of all time. Without it, the world simply would not exist as we know it.

It is a mystery as to who invented the very first wheel. Credit is given to the ancient Mesopotamian culture of Sumer in about 3500 B.C. This is where the oldest known wheel has ever been found. However, it is believed to have been invented much earlier.
All the modes of our daily transportation such as car, bicycle, scooter, train and even airplane needs wheel. It allows us to move faster from one place to another.
