Card 1

Indonesian Tsunami

The massive tsunami that was in Indonesia on the day after Christmas in 2004 still stands as one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history. In all of the chaos as waves up to 100 feet high covered the Indian Ocean coastline, some interesting stories came to light. One story was about a small boy named Martunis, who was washed away while playing soccer in Indonesia and spent the next 18 days floating in the ocean. He was finally rescued and taken to a hospital.

Card 2

Lion King

A young lion prince is born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the second in line to the throne. Scar plots with the hyenas to kill King Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself King. The King is killed and Simba is led to believe by Scar that it was his fault, and so flees the kingdom in shame. After years of exile he is persuaded to return home to overthrow the usurper and claim the kingdom as his own thus completing the "Circle of Life".​

Здания парламента

Рядом с Вестминстерским аббатством на берегу реки расположен Вестминстерский дворец, известный как дома св.

Парламент встает. Эти здания были впервые построены в двенадцатом веке и перестроены в 1840-1867 годах

и отчасти снова после Второй мировой войны. Парламент состоит из Палаты лордов, в которой заседают

заседают лорды и Палата общин, где заседают избранные члены парламента. Дом

Лордов больше по членству - более восьмисот, но в Палате общин есть почти все

сила.

Шестьсот тридцать избранных членов Палаты общин заседают в парламенте.

Члены Совета сидят по обе стороны зала, одна сторона-для правящей партии, а другая - для правящей партии.

возражение. Спикер является председателем на всех дебатах в Палате общин. Господин

Канцлер председательствует над лордами. Его место называется шерстяной мешок, чтобы показать, что шерсть сделала Англию богатой

и очень сильный.

Люди, посещающие здания парламента, могут сидеть в общественной галерее, глядя вниз на здание парламента

в Палате общин, и послушать дебаты. Сессии Padiament начинаются в ноябре и длятся около месяца

сто шестьдесят дней. Все время, пока идет заседание парламента, над часами развевается флаг

Башня, и когда дом все еще стоит после наступления темноты, есть свет над лицом Биг-Бена.
