ALEXANDRA BURKE
Alexandra Burke was born in London in 1988, and she started singing when she was only five. She first appeared on stage in Bahrain at the age of nine. She sang with her mother, who was also a professional singer. Alexandra enjoyed singing on stage and she wanted to become a singer.
She left school when she was sixteen and started a professional career in music. She worked very hard, and she also performed in some big concerts to raise money for charity.
She first entered the TV talent competition
The X Factor in 2005. She didn’t win because the judges thought that she was too young to be a successful pop star. But they said that she was a great singer, so Alexandra entered the competition again in 2008. This time she won! Her first song, ‘Hallelujah’, was number one in Britain for three weeks, and more than a million people bought it. Once again, The X Factor had found a star, and, like Will Young and Leona Lewis, who were also winners of this competition, Alexandra Burke became famous!

Everyone knows that tea is the most popular drink in Britain. It's even more popular than coffee, which is favoured throughout Europe and America.
The Dutch brought the first tea to Europe in 1610. But it was not until 1658 that the first advertisement for tea appeared in a London newspaper. At that time a pound of the cheapest tea cost about one-third of a skilled worker's weekly wages. Tea was guarded by the lady of the house and kept in special containers, often with a lock and carefully doled out by the teaspoon.
By 1750 tea had become the principal drink of all the classes in Britain. Later, tea-drinking developed into a fashionable social ritual. Tea parties were popular at home and soon the ritual of "afternoon tea" was firmly established.
Nowadays, throughout the homes, tea shops and hotels of Britain, the custom of tea-time continues. Tea in Britain is brewed in a teapot. Then the one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot is added.
Most people in Britain prefer a rich, strong cup of tea with milk, and sugar is sometimes added to taste.
