7 A capital for a new age

World Wars caused great damage to London. The reconstruction in the 20th century in the center of the city destroyed a lot, but the capital still retained its ancient heritage. It was impossible to hide social problems and change was inevitable. World War was a personal tragedy for everyone, with queues for food, benefits and unemployment increasing.

LONDON AT WAR
On the 3rd September, 1939, war was declared on Germany. Londoners expected to be in the front line of attack and began to precautions. In September 1940 the onslaught began. Hitler, unable to gain su-premacy in the skies during the Battle of Britain, unleashed his fury on London with the Blitz. On one night after Christmas, 28 incendiary bombs fell on St Paul's and out of the City's 460 acres, 164 were reduced to rubble.German could not break the Londoners' will. «London can take it» May 8th 1945 London celebrated the end of war in Europe.
THE NEW ELIZABETHANAGE
London began re-emerge . The biggest problem was housing a homeless people. They wanted to build pre-fabs that should be temporary but after 30 years someone still have been living there. After all of her merits the Elizabethan age called the Golden era of England. The Elizabethan era is part of the Tudor era in the history of England. This era was called the "golden age" and was the heyday of poetry, music and literature. It is famous for its theater, where William Shakespeare and other playwrights performed their plays. It was also the end of the English period as a separate kingdom, culminating in an alliance with Scotland.
Human planet
Our planet is not the only one in the universe but is supposedly the only one which is inhabited by living creatures. We have all the necessary resources to live a happy life: clean water, fresh air, good nature, eatable plants. However, during the last century most scientists are worried that nature is under danger. Thus, people and all the living creatures that surround us are also endangered. The water in the global ocean is not so clean any more due to human reckless actions. Many useful plants are being cut down for creating newer industrial areas. Some animal species are disappearing from the surface of the Earth and that’s sorrowful. Knowing this, people from all the existing countries should remember that we are rather fragile. The human race can easily vanish leading such a reckless and carefree life. That’s why certain groups of intelligent people build new eco-towns with vast green space, zero carbon, car-free zones, pedestrian and cycle-friendly areas, recycling facilities and many other environmentally friendly goods. Other than that, lots of work is done to make housing in such towns or settlements affordable. I would also like to add some facts about our planet and its features. First of all, it is proven that it’s the third planet from the Sun. Another interesting fact is that the Earth is the only planet which is not named after ancient gods or goddesses. At the moment there are seven other planets in the solar system besides the Earth. For example, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn. Unfortunately, they are not well investigated by scientists as they are situated really far.
