last sumer

Last summer, Joel and Sara travelled to England for two weeks. They travelled in August and stayed in a college with other students in Brighton, the South of England. It was really fantastic because they talked to a lot of students of different nationalities and learned a lot about other cultures and customs. Of course, they learned a lot of English too because they practiced it every day. In the morning they studied a little, they asked the teacher to speak slowly when necessary and answered her questions.  In the afternoon they visited different places or played different sports at the college. It was so much fun. They often walked down to the beach with their new friends and played or chatted. In the evening they were tired so they sometimes watched videos or played board games.

The best days were Saturday and Sunday because they travelled to London. The city is very big and they visited all the monuments like Big Ben, The London Eye and Buckingham Palace. They wanted to see the Queen but they didn’t see her, only her guards!

They liked everything in the city but their favourite thing was the museums, especially Madam Tussards. There were lots of realistic figures of famous people there.

At the end of the two weeks, they were sad to return home. The holidays were fun and different from usual. They cried a little when they waved goodbye to their new friends and promised to write or send emails when they arrived home.

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was an American printer and publisher, author, inventor and scientist, and diplomat. He is best known for playing a key role in the writing of the Declaration of Independence and for signing the original United States Constitution.

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin, had seven children with first wife, Anne Child, and ten more with second wife, Abiah Folger. Ben was his 15th child and youngest son. He learned to read at an early age and was a good student, but he stopped going to school when he was ten and started working full-time. When he was twelve, he started working at his brother’s print shop. He learned a lot about publishing and newspapers. In 1723, he moved to New York and then to Philadelphia.

In Philadelphia, Franklin worked as a printer. He wanted to start his own printing shop and travelled to London to buy the things that he needed for it. In London, he had to work, but he also had a lot of fun. He went to coffee houses and swam in the Thames. He returned to America in 1726 and continued his printing activities. He also continued studying. Franklin bought The Pennsylvania Gazette and made it one of the most successful newspapers in America. In 1732, he started publishing Poor Richard’s Almanack.

Franklin became one of the richest men in Pennsylvania. In 1748, he moved into a new house and bought his first slaves. Later, he came to see that slavery is evil and he freed his slaves in the 1760s. Franklin also became interested in electricity and made some important scientific discoveries. He also took part in politics. In 1776, he became one of the five men who wrote the Declaration of Independence.

After the USA became independent, Franklin went to France as America’s first ambassador. He was very popular with French aristocrats. After ten years in France, Franklin returned to America. He was politically active and worked against slavery.

Benjamin Franklin died on April 17, 1790, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the home of his daughter, Sarah Bache. His Autobiography got published in 1794.
