Do you believe2 in all which is told on England3?

The French say it very often rains in

England, but it rains even more in Lille.

The English love tea and drink it a lot but

the Irish are heavier tea-drinkers.

Of course, the English drink a lot of

alcohol but they are not at the top of the world classification. The French drink more than English.

What about the traditional English breakfast?

The English breakfast is different from the

French. It is composed of tea, bacon and eggs9, sausages, black pudding10, toast and marmalade11,

beans and tomato sauce12 whereas the French have tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, bread, butter…

However, today, not many British people eat the traditional English breakfast, but it is served in

hotels and guest houses13.

Inquiries

Strange name ?!

The first name George comes from the

first name of Elisabeth ll’s father, George VI.

After Henry, is the most carried first name

by kings Then Alexander comes from Elisa-

beth II’s middle name: Alexandra and finally

Louis is Kate's favorite first name.

Future king or not ?

Third in line of the succession:

Little George will one day rule over the

United Kingdom. Before him, there is his

grandfather, Prince Charles and then Prince

William, his father and then it will be the turn

of our " Royal Baby " George Vll.

Rank as king:

George bears a very popular name at

kings of England what would mean that Kate ad

William already knows that their baby will be a

king future. If it is tha case it will be the 7th

George who will rise in the throne.

Comic Relief is a charity organization founded in the United

Kingdom by the scriptwriters Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry

to fight against the famine in Ethiopia. Its partners are BBC

and the supermarket chain Sainsbury’s. The charity

organization became known thanks to its first live on Noel

Edmonds’ “Late, Late Breakfast Show” broadcasted on

Christmas day in 1985 from a refugee camp in Sudan; it’s

after that Jane Tewson had the idea of the name “Comic

Relief” for charity actions. In 2009, they created a website as

well.

Every two years, the “Red Nose Day”, a telethon organized by

Comic Relief, one of the most important of the UK, is

broadcasted in March on BBC. Sainsbury’s donates a part of

its sales to the charity organization.

“The objective is bringing about positive and lasting change in

the lives of poor and disadvantaged people!”

“One Way or Another”, a single recorded by One Direction in

2013, was released on February 17th

to collect money to bring

their contribution to the telethon “Red Nose Day”. The boys-

band has also taken off for Ghana, in Africa for their video

shooting and to meet and support disadvantaged families who

live there. Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis organised a

campaign to ask people to make donations: £5 only to buy

vaccines which will save lives.

L’Anglais pour les nuls

Comic Relief est une association caritative fondée au Royaume-Uni en

1985 par le scénariste Richard Curtis et Lenny Henry pour lutter contre

la famine en Ethiopie. Elle a pour partenaires BBC et la chaine de

supermarché Sainsbury’s. L’association s’est fait connaitre grâce à son

premier direct sur l’émission « Late, Late Breakfast Show » de Noel

Edmonds diffusé le jour de Noël 1985 à partir d’un camp de réfugiés au

Soudan ; c’est après que Jane Tewson a eu l’idée du nom « Comic

Relief » pour l’exploitation de projets de bienfaisance. En 2009,

l’association a également créé un site internet.

Tous les deux ans, le « Red Nose Day », un téléthon organisé par Comic

Relief, l’un des plus importants d’Angleterre, est diffusé en mars sur la

chaîne BBC. Sainsbury’s reverse une partie des bénéfices de ses ventes à

l’organisation.

« L’objectif est de susciter des changements positifs et durables dans la

vie des personnes pauvres et défavorisées ! »

« One Way Or Another », un single enregistré par les One Direction en

2013, est sorti le 17 Février pour récolter des fonds afin d’apporter leur

contribution au téléthon « Red Nose Day ». Le boys-band s’est

également envolé au Ghana, en Afrique, pour le tournage de leur clip et

pour rencontrer et soutenir les familles défavorisées qui y vivent. Louis,

Liam, Niall, Zayn et Harry ont fait une campagne pour appeler les gens

à faire don de seulement 5£ pour des vaccins qui sauveront des vies.

Do you know that Harry Potter's sport exists for real?

A Quidditch pitch

There are three sorts of balls : the quaffle, in French souaffle

which is represented by a volley-ball ball, three bludgers, in

French cognards, which are represented by soft balls and the snitch, in French vif-

d'or. It is a tennis ball in a sock which is in the

player's shorts.

There are three goals : the first is 1 meter high , the second is 1,40 m high

and the last is 2 meters high.

If a player throws the souaffle in a goal, his team wins 10 points.

If a player catches the snitch, his team wins the match!

Bludgers serve to touch players of the other team, as in dodgeball,

to force them to release their broom and return to their

camp. The match is finished when the snitch is

caught or when captains agree.

Different brooms

Quidditch was invented by J-K Rowling in her Harry Potter

books and it was adapted as a real sport by Alexander Manshel in

2005, in Vermont, in the USA. It is not very much practiced but

teenagers and young children enjoy it. It’s a violent game.

Imagine Dragons is an American alter-

native rock band. ln 2008, Dan Reyn-

olds met Andrew Tolman. They wanted

to form a band with Ben McKee and

Brittany Tolman (Andrew's wife). In

2010, they made 2 albums called “Im-

agine Dragons” and “Hell and Silence”.

ln July 2011, Andrew and Brittany Tol-

man left the band to be replaced by

Dan Platzman and Theresa Flaminio

(she left the band in January 2012). ln

February 2012, they made another al-

bum “Continued Silence”.

At the 2013 MTV Video Music awards,

«Radioactive» won the Teen Choice

Award as the Best Rock Song.

We love this band because their style

is different from electronic current

songs. Their most famous song is “lt's

time”, although we love also “Radioac-

tive”, “On top of the world” and “De-

mons”.

Imagine Dragons est un groupe de

rock alternatif. En 2008, Dan Reynolds

a rencontré Andrew Tolman. Ils vou-

laient former un groupe avec Ben

McKee et Brittany Tolman (la femme

d'Andrew). En 2010, ils ont sorti 2 al-

bums intitulés «Imagine Dragons» et

«Hell and Silence». En juillet 2011,

Andrew et Brittany Tolman quittent le

groupe pour être remplacés par Dan

Platzman et Theresa Flaminio (elle a

quitté le groupe en janvier 2012). En

février 2012, ils ont sorti un autre al-

bum «Continued Silence».

Pendant les MTV Mucic Awards de

2013,

«Radioactive» a gagné un Teen

Choice Award dans la catégorie meil-

leure chanson rock.

Nous adorons ce groupe car leur style

est différent des chansons électro-

niques du moment. Leur chanson la

plus connue est «lt's time», bien que

nous adorons aussi «Radioactive»,

«On top of the worId» et «Demons».
