1. The official flag of the Isle of Man shows three legs (a triskelion) on the red background. It is based on the Manx coat-of-arms which is called The Three Legs of Mann. It isn't known for sure how the triskelion came to the Isle of Man. The symbol links the Isle of Man to Sicily.
2. Queen Elizabeth II spends her summer holiday in Balmoral Castle in Scotland. When the Royal Family is there, Balmoral is closed, but they offer guided tours on several dates throughout the winter. An illustration of the castle is printed on the reverse side of £100 notes by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Of all the holidays in the world, I most of all love my birthday. This year, we celebrated it at home, in a warm family circle. My mother baked a birthday cake that was incredibly tasty and beautiful, so I ate with great pleasure a few pieces and listened with a big smile to congratulations. And then came the long-awaited moment of the whole holiday: my parents gave me a great encyclopedia about animals and a children's telescope, through which you can watch the stars in the night sky. I've been dreaming about him for so long! My older brother gave me a new game console, and we started competing in video games. Of course, I won. In the evening, my closest friends came to visit us, and we went for a walk. Since there is a cozy green park near the house with several attractions, we did not have to miss. When it began to get dark in the street, I invited the guys to look at my telescope, after which we spent an hour with him, staring at the stars. The picture was delicious.
