London's secret garden located in central London is a famous public park that remains hidden to even the locals. The medieval-style church of St Dunstan-in-the-East was built in around 1100 and has had a long, 900-year-old history. In 1666, it was rebuilt after being damaged in the Great Fire of London. Then, during World War Two, a direct hit during the London Blitz destroyed a majority of the structure, leaving behind only the north and south walls and steeple. Instead of rebuilding once again, the city of London decided to turn the remains of St Dunstan-in-the-East into the public garden which is accessible today – if you know where to look. Tucked away from the main road, the garden is situated between the Tower of London and London Bridge. The green, ivy-covered walls, trees, and flowers offer an enchanting escape from the city and serve as a reminder of London's history.

Read the text and put the sentences into the correct category. Scotland The Beautiful Scotland is a country in the United Kingdom to the north of England. Its symbol is a thistle, its patron saint is St. Andrew. The country is divided into Highlands and Lowlands. Most of the industry is concentrated in Lowlands, in the Clyde Valley. Glasgow is its largest and busiest town, Edinburgh is its capital. Glasgow and Edinburgh are the two great centres of Scotland. There is only 45 miles between them, and it will take you about an hour to get from Glasgow to Edinburgh by train but the cities are very different. Glasgow is the heart of industry. It is a centre of business and trade. It is very busy, prosperous, dirty in some parts and smart in others, it is beautiful and ugly with its large port and busy streets. Edinburgh is rather cold but attractive, very proud but friendly and has a great past. Edinburgh is known as the Athens of the North. It is an ancient city and if you walk around it, you can feel history at every step. Practically every building has a tale to tell. The most interesting parts of the city are the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town lies between the Castle and Holyrood Palace. The Castle, in fact, is older than the city. No one can say exactly when the first settlers came to live on the huge rock that stands high above Edinburgh. Later they built a castle that used to be a fortress and then a royal palace. It looks good in any weather but at night when it is floodlit it looks just like a castle in a fairy tale. It is not surprising that the Castle attracts a lot of tourists.

They wondered what it was like and whether it was inhabited. They called this land terra australis incognita, or «the unknown southern land» - Australia. Australia is divided into 6 states and 2 territories. Let’s speak about some of them. New South Wales is Australia's leading state. Most people live along the east coast, and most of them are in Sydney. Sydney is also the largest city in Australia. In Victoria most people live in the south. Melbourne is the capital of the state and the largest city. Sheep and wheat are the main products here. Citrous fruits, grapes, peaches and apricots are grown along the Murray River. Queensland is Australia’s 2nd largest state. Brisbane, its capital, is situated on the east coast. Queensland has long sandy beaches. Its coast is a popular place for holiday-makers. The climate along the east coast is hot and humid. It is the tropical corner of Australia. Bananas and other tropical fruits are grown here. Most of the land in the south is too dry for farming. Some of Australia’s most unproductive desert lands occupy the bigger part of the state. Tasmania, the island state, is sometimes called the apple isle because it produces most Australia’s apples. Tasmania is one of the few places in Australia that have enough rain all year. Tasmania is Australia’s leading producer of pears and berries of different kinds. Potatoes are also grown in some areas. Northern Territory is the least populated and least developed part of Australia. Crocodiles still live in some of the swamps along the coast. Darwin is its capital and the largest settlement in the north. Alice Springs, generally called Alice or the Alice, is the only town in the south. The capital of Australia is Canberra. The city doesn’t belong to any state. It is situated in the Australian Capital Territory, which occupies an area of 2,432 square kilometres.

As such, it’s possible to break down your habits into ineffective study habits versus effective study habits. In an effort to optimize my academic performance, I’ve created a list of bad study habits of college students so as to avoid them. Number one all-time favourite is cramming. Cramming goes hand-in-hand with procrastination. If you wait until the last minute to study for a test, then you’ll likely find yourself memorizing facts and information without understanding them. While this could work in the short term, you have to keep in mind that most subject matter is cumulative and builds upon what you’ve previously learned. So, in the long run, you’re doing yourself a disservice by memorizing information at the last minute because what goes in quickly is also likely to be forgotten quickly. Instead, start by studying a bit every night after class. This way, you can absorb information over time and actually remember what you learn better. If you’re a crammer, then chances are high that you’ve pulled an all-nighter. As the term implies, it means you stay up all night to study. This is a lose-lose because not only are you stuck with memorizing over understanding, but you are also lacking sleep, while sleep is crucial for the brain’s functioning and ability to recall information. The next thing that does more harm than good is multitasking. While multitasking might seem like a good idea because you feel like you can get several things done in less time, the truth is that you aren’t actually focused. People who focus on one thing at a time absorb more information and are more productive. When your brain is constantly switching between tasks, you are less likely to recall information. You can also wear yourself out more quickly. To avoid multitasking, make a plan and prioritize what you will do and study first. Only once you’ve finished the first thing on your list should you move on to the next. Studying takes time, so you have to make time to do it. As such, you’ll want to understand time management to allocate the right amount of time to study each subject. Some time management tips include prioritizing tasks, setting a schedule, breaking up big tasks, creating rewards, and waking up earlier to give yourself more time in a day. And finally, I can’t but mention missing classes. Attending will end up boosting what you learn. Since you study the material that is first introduced to you during class, you will already have the foundational knowledge you need to understand the material deeply. When you miss a class, you’ll also have to spend a lot of time making up for what you missed by copying notes or asking your peers about what you missed. The time you spend doing that could be better spent studying and reviewing what you’ve already learned. The only way to avoid missing class is to go to class! Make note of your schedule in advance so that you can fit in everything around your class schedule. And, if you choose to learn at an online institution, then the great news is you can be more flexible with your schedule. This is especially true if you enroll at an institution where classes are recorded, so you can choose when and where you want to study and learn. Studying is integral to academic life. And doing it effectively is essential for one’s success because often, just earning a degree isn’t enough. Over time, you’ll start to recognize what works for you and what doesn’t. I shared these examples so you can assess whether or not you take part in them. If you do, it’s time to drop them so that you can earn better results from your studying efforts!

The Great Wall of China One of the largest construction projects ever carried out, and probably the most famous symbol of China, is the Great Wall. Stretching across northern China from Liaoning Province in the east to Gansu Province in the west, it is 8,850 kilometres long. It is a wonderful structure made from earth, brick and stone which began its life over two millennia ago. Originally, the wall was not one, but many walls built by the different kingdoms that China was divided into. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, united the kingdoms into one country. He ordered his general to knock down the walls that separated the kingdoms and join the remaining walls together to protect the country from invaders from the north. This was the start of the Great Wall of China as it is today, snaking through the countryside over valleys and mountain tops. Over the years, different emperors have added to the wall, extending it in some places and adding towers along the length of it. Most of what remains now was built during the Ming Dynasty of 1368–1644. Since then, large parts of the wall have fallen into ruin and some have disappeared completely. Despite this, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and remains a popular tourist attraction which is visited each year by millions of people from around the globe.
