Task today was a picture our teacher showed ous. I'm sorry it is not possible to show you guys the picture, but I have to describe the best i can. It is a picture about people living in the slum of India. There are two kids in front of the picture standing on a kind of a pile of some rocks. Between there are some other people sleeping on the dirty ground with some garbish around. But about a mile way or something, there is a city with lot of modern buildings with different colors of lights. That makes me for real sad and also angry in a kind of a way when I see the kids just standing there in the rocks. Is a am living in a "upper class" I feel extremely sorry for them and I'm appreciate the way I live. And i wish that in the future, people from the upper class should give more to the lower class. 

On Friday the 27th my class and I went the cinema and we watched the "The Imitation Game"  and the question I have chosen for the task is:

Imagine that you are to interview Alan Turing after the end of the war. Write down five questions you would like to ask him.

- How did you come up with the idea of the computer Christopher?
-Have you always had such interest in math like you had in the movie?
-How was it to be a homosexual in a country where it was illigal?
-There is a scene from the movie where the principal tells you that Christopher is dead. You tell him that Cristopher was not a good friend, just a guy you known. But what was your real reaction?
-Why did you bring the computer home?  

1. Do you think the colonies had a good reason to declare independence?

- What I think is that if I were a colonist I would not like to pay taxes that just ended in England's fortune and did not do something for the society. That is one of the reasons I think the colonies has a good reason to declare independence.  

2. Should one country be able to colonize another? When should a colony be granted Independence?

- I think that one country could not be able to colonize an other nowadays. It was obviously more right to do the same thing back in the days where people where fighting each other to get property and land.     

3. The Bill of Rights guarantees Americans "the right to bear arms". Many Americans still feel this is important for personal safety and in case they need to revolt against their own government, they argue that the Minutemen and the local militias only won the fight for Independence because they had firearms. What do you think? Should everyone have the right to bear arms? All kinds of arms?

At first, when the question says something about “the bill of rights” and “the right to bear arms”         -it means that in America everyone can carry weapons for personal safety. As I am a Norwegian, I would be extremely scared if we had the same right, but I think that America is off course something else. Back in the times where it was I kind of war of land and properly people used to carry guns and other weapons to protect them self. Therefore, if a group of immigrants came to a place where some other had settle down before, they would use guns to scare the immigrants away. But that was before the

4. If you were to present your nation's history in the same way as above, which events would you choose? Why? - List the events and write a couple of sentences about them.

1814 – The Norwegian constitution

1969 – Norway discovered oil and that was a big moneymaker for the country.        

                                          

Bournemounth – Sunderland

As we see, the red line will be the trip. It is going to start in Bournmounth (in south) and then all the way to Sunderland.

Why am I doing this actually?

Just to sure, I want to tell you guys that this is just a task we got in class. So it dont means that I am actully going to do this now. Purhaps in some years, but as I am 16 years old my parents would not let me. So that is why.

What am I going to ride all the way? 

As I love my 70ccm moped (about 15 Horse powers) so much, it will be my choice to ride it. Yeah, it maby sound a little wierd and crazy and I might will getting some problems somewhere on the road up to Sunderland, thinking about it is not the best vehicle to drive long distance trips. But again it is something i life for.   

                             

Which places I would visit?

One part of the task we got in class, is also which places would you visit?

1.   Stop

The first place I could visit is Leicester. I am going to stop there for a sleepover in «Holiday inn Express Hotel» after driving from Bournemounth. I have heard that Leicester have some great festivals, so one of them I would go to is

«Bands on Parks»

2.   Stop

(Wrote as something I already done)

I woke up in Leicester at the «Holiday in Express Hotel» and had a great breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon and a cup of tea. After the breakfast i packed my bag and headed up to Selby.

Problems on the highway!

Meanwhile driving my moped north the country, I suddently got some big problems. The tank with coolant (cooling liquid for the motor) got empty and the piston inside the cylinder god overheated and I had to push the whole vehicle to the next gas station.

When I got there I had to remove the fuel tank and some wires to make it possible to change it. At first I had to remove the cylinder head and then the cylinder. I had to change piston and then replace the cylinder and the cylinder top. (Picture of the cylinder and the piston).

     I refulled the coolant, replaced the rest of the part on the moped and continued the ride.

    

3. stop     

After some hours driving on the road with the brand new piston I decided to stop by Selby (between leeds and hull and the map above) to take a sleepover. I parked my moped and checked in at «Maypole farm bed & breakfast»

The morning after I woke up and I knew this was going to be the last day of the journey, but to day day I was going to drive by the coast. I seated on the moped right after i woke up and ate breakfast.

I drove about three and a half hour when I saw that I needed to refill the fuel tank so i pulled out of the highway. It was a sign that told me it would be a gas station about two kilometers this directoin.

While I was driving down to the station I suddently saw the beautiful North Ocean.

I pulled out of the road and into the gas station. I refilled the tank, bought a sandwich and coca-cola and enjoyed the view of the ocean. 

After a while I was thinking it is now time to finish this little adventure, so I drove out of the gas station and into the highway again.

Two hours later, I saw the sign where it said «Sunderland», and I drove out of the highway and in to the exit. After twenty minutes I found the hotel I was searching for and I finaly reached my destination. At the end it was an incredible experimance, but if I had to do this one more time I would probably choose an other vehicle, because my body hurts after many hours on a little plastic seat and the moped I was driving is not really made for long distance rides.       

               

        

Events that shaped English

When did the English language came, and how did it came?

The settlers are traced back to 5000 years ago but the English language started to take shape in 700  when the Celts came from present-day France. There are few Celts words left. 

The Celts were either assimilated or forced westwards, into what are today Wales, Ireland and Scottland. Their descendants still speak Celtic languages Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic.

Angelo Saxons

Angelo saxons spoke different types of the Germanic dialect. They sattlet in England once and gave the land its name «Engla land» (means land of the angles). This language can still be found in some few Old English texts from the seventh, eighth, ninth centuries. Many of the Angelo Saxons were farmers so they bring some words from the Germanic dialect to the English. Some example; Field, earth and sheep  

1066 and after

The Old-English language in a kind of broke down after the battle of Hastings in 1066. Middle English was now the new. With over 100,000 different words, The Old English system was out. The middle English had a lot of loanwords from French and Latin as the language was growing enormous. The middle English had at that time around 60.000 words more then the old once. The French language was spolen by the ruling class and the elite gave the Middle English language about 10,000 new words.

Scandinavian Sattlement   

Large variety of the Scandinavian people came to Britain at first at the 9th century to sattled at the north-eastern areas. The king of England at once was Danish but that was later at the 11th century. The English society took some of Norse words and used it in there own language. The street names in York as an example is still using «gates» insted of streets.
