MY FAVOURITE WRITER
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was a famous British writer. He is best known for his fantasy books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien was born on 3^rd January 1892, in South Africa. When he was four years old, the family moved to England. In 1900, his mother became a Roman Catholic and four years later, when his mother died, Tolkien was taken care of by a Catholic priest. He attended King Edward’s School in Birmingham and then Exeter College, Oxford. He was very good at languages. He studied not only Latin and Greek, but also Gothic and Finnish. He studied Anglo-Saxon (Old English), Germanic languages and classic literature.
Tolkien met his future wife when she was 16 years old. As Edith was a Protestant and Tolkien Catholic, it was forbidden to see each other. When he was 21, Tolkien stated his love to Edith, who was then engaged to another man. But she broke her engagement and the couple remained together until their deaths, for 55 years. She was the inspiration for the character of Lъthien (the most beautiful elf princess that has ever lived).
MASS MEDIA 
Newspapers, magazines, television and radio are all part of daily life m Britain.
TheBritish watch more television and listen to the radio more often than any other people in Europe. They are also avid readers of newspapers. Two out of three people over the age of 15 read a national morning newspaper, while bout three out of four read a Sunday paper. The first newspaper published in Britain was the Weekly News founded in 1622. And from the moment m 1784 when John Walter declared his intention to publish a newspaper and The Daily Universal Register later renamed The Times  was born, through to the first television broadcasts by the Scottish pioneer John Baird, and on to these times of satellite broadcasting and cable TV, the British media have always provided a lively forum for comment and debate on the issues of the day.
They have also enjoyed a long tradition of freedom and independence. Newspaper ownership m Britain is concentrated mainly in the hands of comparatively small number of large press monopolies. These commercial enterprises sell news, interpretation of news and advertising space.
FAMOUS PEOPLE
There were hundreds of people throughout the history who are left in the memories of millions of people. They are Albert Einstein, George Washington, Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Mahatma Gandhi and many others.
Their impact on the world development cannot be underestimated.
Most people know Albert Einstein from the picture above their blackboard and only remember that he was considered to be a very stupid person. Although in reality he completely changed the way we perceive time and space, gravity and energy.
George Washington is thought to be the Father of American history. For twenty years he was leading the county to greater future. He believed that hard work, public service and worshiping of God is the key to successful life. Due to his outstanding character he became the first President of the country. No other American is honored the way Washington is.
Before becoming the most beloved person in Great Britain, Princess Diana worked as a cook or a nanny in the kindergarten. When she became a part of a royal family she did a lot of charity. People adored her. Although not everything was so good. She was unhappy in her marriage with the Prince. And right before her death she received a divorce. Her story shows that even Prince Charming may be not the right one for you. Diana was killed in a car accident and her death is still a complete mystery.
So, learning such stories helps us realize the value of each moment of history. We can learn and develop on the basis of these people’s stories and that opens great opportunities for everyone.
