Windsor Palace is the world's largest and oldest continuously inhabited castle Occupying over 484,000 square feet, it is over 240 times the size of an average house. William the Conqueror built the first castle on the grounds between 1070 and 1086, but the castle that exists today was largely built by Edward of
Windsor in 1350. Edward of Windsor authorized the construction of a new keep, a large chapel, and new fortifications. From a distance, the castle appears dominated by a massive round tower in its center. In 1475, King Edward IV authorized construction of St. George’s Chapel as a cathedral and royal mausoleum. The chapel became an important destination for pilgrims in the late medieval period and is probably the most famous of the structures within Windsor Palace. During the 1500’s and 1600’s, Windsor Castle was damaged as a result of various wars. In 1660, however, Charles II became interested in restoring the castle and laid out plans for “The Long Walk,” a three-mile long avenue running south from the castle. Charles II also had the royal apartments
.and St. George’s Hall rebuilt The royal apartments were spectacular, with numerous carvings, frescoes, and
tapestries. The artwork acquired during the rebuilding of Windsor Castle became known as the Royal Collection, which remains relatively unchanged today. In 1824, George IV moved into the castle and was granted 300,000
pounds to renovate Windsor Castle. The entire castle was remodeled and the architect, Jeffrey Wyattville, succeeded in blending the castle to seem like one entity rather than a collection of buildings.

spiders reading comprehension
Spiders are not insects! They are actually arachnids -invertebrates (animals
without backbones) that have eight legs and which inject venom. Spiders are
found on every continent except Antarctica. There are over 44,000 known kinds
of spiders. Spiders are found in every kind of habitat and are often found in
!homes
Spiders are unique among animals in that many spin webs out of silk. The webs
trap insects and other prey to be eaten later. Larger spiders, such as wolf
spiders,huntsman, and tarantulas attack prey rather than spin webs. One spider
that was recently discovered even flings itself at prey like a slingshot! Most
spiders eat insects, but tarantulas and larger spiders will eat small lizards and
.mammals as well. Many people fear spiders
In fact, a fear of spiders has its own name: Arachnophobia! Most spiders,
however, are totally harmless to humans and are actually beneficial because
they eat insect pests. Even the largest tarantula in existence, the Goliath Bird-
eating Tarantula, is harmless to humans. A tarantula bite is said to be about as

What would we do if there were no wheels? In my opinion, the most
important invention of all time is the wheel. Without the wheel, people could
not travel anywhere very easily or quickly. We depend on the wheel for all
our transport, such as cars, trains and planes (because planes need wheels to
take off and land). If we had to travel long distances without wheels, it would
be very difficult. It would also be difficult to see other cities and countries. This
means that we wouldn’t know about other places and the world would seem
.very small for us
If we didn’t have the wheel, it would be harder to work quickly and easily.
This is because we need wheels to go to and from work, but also because we
need wheels to carry things. Without wheels, people would have to carry
heavy things in other ways. We might have to use animals or carry things
ourselves. Wheels are also a very important part of machines in factories and
on farms because they make the machines work. These kinds of wheels are
.’called ‘cogs
There are lots of very important inventions that have changed the world. But I
.think that the wheel is the most important for these reasons

Example: The most important invention is the
A wheel

C airplane

What are tornadoes? Tornadoes (or twisters) are spiral, violent winds that can
destroy everything in their path. They are mostly in America, but other
.countries all over the world can have tornadoes too
Tornadoes are large, funnel-shaped clouds, that look like a long rope
sweeping across the land. They can be black, grey or even white. Tornadoes
.travel at different speeds and can last from a few minutes up to an hour
They are very dangerous, so you must follow this advice if there is a tornado
:warning
The safest place to be during a tornado is in a tornado shelter or
a basement. If you are not near one, then a bathroom with no
.windows is a good place
Protect your head and neck by pulling a mattress or sleeping
.bag over your head
Keep water, food and a first-aid kit in the shelter and don’t leave
.until you are sure the tornado is over
