                                                        MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Last summer I went to Greece,on isle of Rhodes. I went there from 7th to 14th July. I travelled by airplane and it was the first time so I was very excited. I went with my father and we stayed in a hotel called Zeus situated in Rodi. It was sunny and very hot,in fact, I always wore a t-shirt. I visited the old city of Rhodes and a city called Lindos. In Lindos there was also a big temple on a high mountain and from there, there was a wonderful point of view. I also went to the beach, the water was spectacular but also very cold. I enjoyed a lot because I visited a lot of interestings places.

Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month in America, is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada^] in February and the United Kingdom in October.The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week."^[1] This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which dates Black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century.The expansion of Black History Week to Black History Month was first proposed by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. The first celebration of the Black History Month took place at Kent State one year later, in February 1970.Black history month was first celebrated in the unided Kingdom in 1987.By 1929 The Journal of Negro History was able to note that with only two exceptions officials with the State Departments of Educations of "every state with considerable Negro population" had made the event known to that state's teachers and distributed official literature associated with the event.

A RED,RED ROSE
O my Luve's like a red, red rose                                                   
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
