We are now living in a highly developed world, with advanced culture and highly developed civilizations. But have you ever thought what are the base of all the culture and civilizations? Oh, yes, they are based on those which were created by our great, great grandfathers lived a long, long time ago. No one exactly knows what they lived on, what were their housing and home decoration conditions, what kind of tools they usually used in their production activities, and what entertainment they had in their spare time. Anyway, we c an imagine! So now, let’s divide into groups of four and, with the help of your imagination, discuss what kinds of food the early man ate, what their housing conditions and home decorations were like, what tools they made and what entertainment they had in their spare time.

In the spring of 2002, people in Britain pl anned to build a school at Amesbury in Wiltshire. While the workers dug the work site, they discovered something unusual, which led to the discovery of the grave of the King of Stonehenge. It is thought that this is a very important discovery in archaeology, because archaeologists discovered the richest Bronze Age burial in Britain. Do you want to know more about the discovery? Good. Now, I’ll give you five minutes for you to read the text and answer my question:Why is the discovery important?Task 1: Reading for the main idea.1. Read the text quickly and answer the following questions.①How many kinds of things were discovered in the grave of the King of Stonehenge?②What is the most important reason to describe the discovery as an important one?2.
