1.The Earl of Sandwich lived long ago in England. He was a fanatic about playing cards. He didn’t even want to stop playing to eat a meal and refused to put his cards away. So his servant invented a quick meal for him. He put some meat between two slices of bread, so that the Earl could hold his meal in one hand and play cards with the other.
2.Sandwiches were great favourites in Victorian England. It was a tradition to take an afternoon tea at about 5 o’clock, and many rich families ate sandwiches at that time. Cucumber sandwiches were very popular. The sandwiches were very small and delicate. Sandwiches are less elegant now and often much bigger.

I'd like to describe picture number three. in the picture we can see a girl playing the piano. The girl is in her teens. she's got long straight dark hair. she's wearing a blue blouse and light blue jeans.
she's sitting on the chair in front of the piano. she's in Music classroom, I suppose. there is a green plant on the piano. there is a bookcase with lots of books next to the girl. The girl is looking at her hands and the piano-keys. She is trying to do her best. I like this picture because it reminds me about my music classes. In my childhood I learnt to play the guitar.
