Про Древний Египет:
Ancient Egypt was a civilization in Northeastern Africa concentrated along the middle to lower reaches of the Nile River, reaching its greatest extent in the second millennium BC, during the New Kingdom. It stretched from the Nile Delta in the north as far south as Jebel Barkal at the Fourth Cataract of the Nile, in modern-day Sudan. Extensions to the geographic range of ancient Egyptian civilization included, at different times, areas of the southern Levant, the Eastern Desert and the Red Sea coastline, the Sinai Peninsula, and the oases of the Western desert.
The civilization of ancient Egypt developed over more than three and a half millennia. It began with the political unification of the major Nile Valley cultures under one ruler, the first pharaoh, around 3150 BC,[3] and led to a series of golden ages known as Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods. After the end of the last golden age, the New Kingdom, the civilization of ancient Egypt entered a period of slow, steady decline, when Egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign adversaries. The power of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC, when the early Roman Empire conquered Egypt and made it a province of the Empire.
The civilization of ancient Egypt was based on balanced control of natural and human resources under the leadership of the pharaoh, religious leaders, and court administrators, characterised by controlled irrigation of the fertile Nile Valley; the mineral exploitation of the valley and surrounding desert regions; the early development of an independent writing system and literature; the organization of collective construction and agricultural projects; trade with surrounding regions in east and central Africa and the eastern Mediterranean; and finally, military ventures that defeated foreign enemies and asserted Egyptian domination throughout the region. Motivating and organising these activities was a bureaucracy of elite scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under the control of the quasi-divine pharaoh (becoming divine upon death), who ensured the cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people by means of an elaborate system of religious beliefs.

After the age of 11, most children go to comprehensive schools of which the majority are for both boys and girls. About 90 per cent of all state-financed secondary schools far of this type. Most other children receive secondary education in grammar and secondary modern schools. Comprehensive schools were introduced in 1965. The idea of comprehensive education, supported by the Labour Party, was to give all children of whatever background the same opportunity in education. At 16 students in England and Wales take the GCSE examinations. In 1988 these examinations replacedthe GCE and O-levels which were usually passed by about 20 per cent of school students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects, and may involve a final examination, and assessment of workdone by the student during the two-year course, or both of these things. Some comprehensive schools, however, do not have enought academic courses for sixth-formers. students can transfer either to a grammar school or to a sixth-form college to get the courses they want. At 18 some students take A-levels GCE examination, usually in two or three subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or Polytechnic. But some pupils want to stay on at school after taking their GCSE, to prepare for a vocational course of for work rather than for A-levels examinations. Then they have to take the CPVE examination which means the CERTIFICATE OF PRE-Vocational Education. In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can go straight o a university. Secondary education in Northern Ireland is organized along selective lines according to childrens abilities. One can hardly say that high loss of pupils you are a working-class child at school today, the chance of your reaching the second year of a sixth-form course is probably less than that for the child of a professional parent. Besides, goverment cuts on school spending caused many difficulties

French designers.but now fashion is a much more international matter. London, like other big European cities, has a large number of its own talented designers.street styles are not created by the big fashion designers. The British don't think about fashion very much. Most people go down to their nearest shopping street and buy something from a chain store.the most popular of these stores, with a shop in every town, is Mark and Spenser. It is Britain's favorite store. It started more than a hundred years ago when a young Polish immigrant, Michael Marks, had a stall in Leeds Market. He didn't have many things to sell:some cotton, lots of buttons and a few shoe-laces. Ten years later, he met Tom Spenser and together they started Penny Stalls in many towns in the north of England. Today there more than 500 branches of M&S all over the world,
