c)    When the Queen arrives in the House of Lords to open the Parliament, she sits on this.
d)    There is wool inside. It's a part of a very old tradition which started in the 14th century. It's in Parliament to symbolise the importance of wool to the British economy at that time.

Homework

A The friends are back at school and have come to a history club meeting
Read the conversation for detail and say: Is Mr Jenkins a good teacher? Why What is the best translation for Mr Know-it-all?

Mr Jenkins:   Hello, everybody. Today I have prepared a very interesting and unusual task for you.
Emily:          What is it, Mr Jenkins?
Mr Jenkins:   We're going to look at a fragment from an early medieval manuscript.
Mark:           What is unusual about it, Mr Jenkins? We often translate them.
Mr Jenkins:  Well, I have to tell you something. I can't translate this manuscript. This time I need your help. Emily:      You're joking, Mr Jenkins. You can translate everything.
John:           How old is the manuscript?
Mr Jenkins:  I don't know. I got the text by e-mail two weeks ago. Here's the e-mail.

Hi, Mr Know-it-all!
Your students think that you know everything, but that's not true.
Can you translate this manuscript? And if you can't, will you tell
your students?
Surprise me!

John:            It's very rude!
Mr Jenkins:   Yes, it is. At first, I didn't want to read anymore, but then I saw the manuscript and forgot about everything. It's in runes,

                    the ancient alphabet which Druids used for writing about secret things and magic. I know runes very well, but the runes

                   of this manuscript are different. It's a code. I have been trying to translate it for two weeks but I've had no luck.

                   Now I'm asking you for your help.
Emily:          Don't worry, Mr Jenkins. We'll do it together.
Mark:            What did you say, Mr Jenkins? A runic alphabet? A secret code? Let me have a look at it!
Mr Jenkins:   What's wrong with you, MacWizard? Why are you smiling?
Mark:           It's our family runic alphabet. I have been looking for this story
                   for months and I've found it! I'll translate it for the next lesson.
                   But... who is it from, Mr Jenkins?
Mr Jenkins:  I've no idea! The e-mail address is reader2345@hotmail.com You can never find a person
                   through this e-mail address.
Emily:         But why not?
Mr Jenkins: Because there are millions of users at hotmail.com — people can use the server from any
                  computer in the world.
            
В Answer the questions.



1.    What is unusual about this manuscript?
2.    How did Mr Jenkins get the manuscript?
3.    Was he able to translate the manuscript? Why? Why not?
4.    Why did the e-mail sound rude?
