a Choosing surnames in the pastb Fans and starsc What? No surname?d First names in Francee Is that a baby or a car?f Famous names from the past
These old surnames are common in the UK today, but first names didn’t stay the same – they changed with the times. In the past when parents needed a name for a child they often copied the names of famous scientists, musicians, artists or rulers. For example, when Queen Victoria ruled Britain from 1837 to 1901 her name was very popular.
But these days parents in the UK prefer the names of pop stars, sports stars and film stars, like Kylie, Keira, Brad and Wayne. One football fan didn’t stop at Wayne a couple of years ago. He named his baby after the entire Manchester United team. His son has got eleven forenames (one first name and 10 middle names)!
People travelled more from the 1960s onwards, and they discovered interesting and exotic names – there are now plenty of Marcos and Mayas in the UK. And when parents want a really original name for their child they sometimes choose the brand names of products. In one year, 353 babies’ names were Lexus, 298 were Armani, 49 Canon, 5 Jaguar and one child’s name was Xerox.

One thousand years ago the population of England was small. Surnames didn’t exist because most people lived in villages and surnames weren’t necessary. When William the Conqueror (the French Duke of Normandy) invaded England in 1066, he didn’t like this situation. In his opinion, people needed surnames.
When the English decided their surnames, some people used their job (Baker, Cook), some used places (Hill, Wood) and some used their nickname (Short) or the name of a parent (Johnson = son of John).

Vincent Willem Van Gogh was an artist from the Netherlands. He was born in the village of Zundert on 30th March 1853. He died in 1890.
Van Gogh was a serious, quiet child. He left school at the age of 15 and had various jobs, but he didn’t start painting until he was 27. Eventually he went to live in France. That was where he met a lot of other artists and produced intense and colourful pictures. In 1886 he met Paul Gauguin. Gauguin later visited him in Provence and he was someone who encouraged Van Gogh to paint.
During his lifetime Van Gogh wasn’t successful with his work and he only sold one painting. But these days he is famous for the work which he did in Provence. Two of his best-known paintings are The Starry Night and Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers. A Japanese insurance company paid $39.5 million when it bought one of Van Gogh’s paintings of sunflowers in 1987!

Saturday night
Hi Simon!
Did you go to Ollie’s party on Saturday? I didn’t go because I was at my grandparents’ house for the weekend. It was my grandmother’s birthday. I love staying with them – they’ve got a big house near the beach. We didn’t swim because it was too cold and the sea wasn’t warm enough. But a lot of my cousins were also there and I hardly ever see them. We watched a brilliant film in the evening so I had a really good time.
How was the party? Was the music good? What did you eat? Were any of Ollie’s sister’s friends there?

Cool BritanniaBy 43 ad, the Roman Empire already included most of Europe and North Africa, as well as parts of Russia and Turkey. That year, the Romans invaded an island and called it Britannia. They occupied it for 400 years and today we still call it Britain.
The Romans didn’t invade Britain for money (it wasn’t rich) or security (it wasn’t strategic), but for honour. The Emperor Claudius wanted to show his military ability. During the early years of the occupation, many of the native Celtic tribes rebelled. Queen Boudicca led the most famous rebellion in 60–61 ad. Boudicca was a friend to the Romans, but when they wanted to take her land, she refused, and so the Romans punished her. Boudicca and her Iceni tribe fought back, but the Romans were more powerful, and defeated her.
The Romans brought their unity, organisation and culture to the people of Britannia – including taxes. Hundreds of words we use in modern English come from Latin, for example: urban, legal, and information.
The Romans also influenced Britain’s geography and architecture. They built incredible villas, public baths and amphitheatres. They built towns and cities, including the capital Londinium (London) and Mamucium (Manchester), and they built 9,600 kilometres of roads to connect them. York was a very important town in Roman times, called Eboracum. Today, the people of York have a Roman festival every year to celebrate their Roman history.
However, the Romans didn’t conquer Scotland, so they built Hadrian’s Wall from coast to coast to protect Britannia from the Scottish tribes. Today it still marks the border between England and Scotland.

There is a large variety of traditional food across the European Union. Many types of cheese, wine, meat and fish have historic traditions connected to precise geographical areas and production methods. The EU has regulations to protect these traditions. The UK currently has 40 different foods and drinks with protected status. Here are three favourites!
1 Melton Mowbray Pork PiesThe town of Melton Mowbray, near Leicester, produces pork pies with traditional methods and ingredients from 200 years ago. A pie is a type of savoury ‘cake’, with pastry around it.
Melton Mowbray pies are different from other pork pies, because they are ‘rounder’ and they only use fresh local pork. Delicious!
2 Arbroath SmokiesArbroath Smokies are a type of smoked fish from the North Atlantic. ‘Smokies’ originally come from a small fishing village near Arbroath in Scotland. There is a local legend about the ‘accidental’ discovery of this delicious smoked fish after a fire. We don’t know if the legend is true, but today they prepare the fish in a similar way. They put salt on the haddock, dry it for one night, and then smoke it over a wood fire in a whisky barrel.
3 Yorkshire Forced RhubarbRhubarb is a long, red vegetable with green leaves which is used to make rhubarb crumble, a popular British dessert. Only 12 producers grow this ‘forced’ rhubarb, in the ‘rhubarb triangle’, between the cities of Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield. Today, as more than 100 years ago, they grow the rhubarb in the dark. This ‘forces’ the plant to grow, because it looks for light. When the plants are ready, the farmers cut and gather them using light from candles.

Extract 1King Arthur’s time, the king and his knights3 lived in the castle of Camelot. One of Arthur’s knights – Tarquin – loved Lucretia, a beautiful young woman with long black hair. But she didn’t love him. One day she sat under a tree by the river, when suddenly Tarquin rode his horse out of the
forest and took her in his arms.‘Help!’ cried Lucretia, but Tarquin carried her away quickly on his horse to an old house on a hill far from Camelot. There he put her in a dark room and closed the door behind her.At once, King Arthur called his knights to him. ‘Find Tarquin and Lucretia,’ he said, ‘and bring them to me.’They soon brought Tarquin and Lucretia to the king. He was angry with Tarquin. ‘When a knight from Camelot treats a woman badly, he must die,’ said Arthur.But Queen Guinevere felt sorry for Tarquin. So she asked her husband, ‘Can I give a different punishment to him?’‘Of course,’ said the king.Then she said to Tarquin, ‘Tell me the answer to this important question: what do women want most of all?’ Tarquin didn’t know. So he said nothing. Then the queen said, ‘Tarquin, you can leave Camelot now, but you must come back in a year with a good answer to my question, or you die.’

Background to the story…The Canterbury Tales is about a group of pilgrims1 who are travelling to Canterbury, to visit the shrine2 of Saint Thomas Becket. The pilgrims are a mixed group: some are rich and some are poor. They also have very different jobs and experiences. Each one tells a story to make the journey more interesting. This is the story told by a woman from Bath. It takes place in the kingdom of King Arthur, the legendary king of England.
Extract 2Tarquin went from village to village and town to town. And always he asked different women Guinevere’s question.In one village they answered, ‘We want money.’
In the next village they said, ‘We want to be happy.’In one town, they told Tarquin, ‘We want to hear nice things from our lovers.’Days became weeks, and weeks became months. Soon
it was time for Tarquin to go back to Camelot. He felt bad because he didn’t have a good answer to Guinevere’s question.On the road to Camelot, Tarquin rode his horse through a forest. It was dark and not easy to see there. After some time, he got off his horse and began to walk. Just then, he saw twenty-four beautiful young women in front of him. They were all in green dresses, and they sang beautifully, laughed, and moved in and out of the trees. But when Tarquin came near, they suddenly left – and the only thing there in front of him was an ugly old woman.
