PINK STINKS

Pink Stinks is a campaign founded in London in May 2008 by twin sisters Emma and Abi Moore. They claim is damage caused by gender stereotyping of children. Pink Stinks says that the marketing of gender-specific products to young children encourages girls to limit their ambitious later in life.
Pink Stinks has created a listing of "Pink Stinks Approved"companies providing not-gender-specific play and learning products for children.
Pink Stinks has attracted attention in other countries and has inspired the setting up of a similar campaign in Germany.

THE HISTORY OF SURNAMES

For a long time people didn't have family names, people had first names only.
This custom slowly change.
The Romans introduced a combination of personal and family name. They usually used three names "PRAENOMEN, NOMEN and COGNOMEN".
In England people started to use surnames in the 13th century. Many family name came from jobs.
Names like BAKER, COOK, CARPENTER show an occupation.
People also used places for family names, in fact, in the UK more then alf family names came from places; RIVER, HILL are some examples.
Other surnames came from personal names, for example RICHARDSON , STEVENSON.
Lots of Gaelic names are preceded by MC (son) or O', for examples MC DONALD, O'BRIAN.
Some surnames come from nicknames.

TONGUE TWISTER

Betty Botter bought some butter 
But she said this butter's bitter
If I put in my batter 
It will make my batter bitter 
But a bit of better butter 
Will surely make my batter better.

So she bought a bit of butter 
Better than her bitter butter
And she put it in her batter 
And her batter was not bitter 
So t'was better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

DISNEYLAND

Disneyland is know as the dream of all children and people and it is the happiest place on earth. 
Walt  Disney has the idea of theme parks. He wanted to build a place where parents and children could have fun togheter.
28,000 people went to Disneyland's opening day on Julay 17th, 1955 but it was a disaster. The park owercrowded because people use fake tickets. Theree areas of the parks (Fantasyland, Adventuryland and Frontierland) had to close because of a gas leak and half the rides were broken. After opening day, many people thought that Disneyland would be a failure but now it is the most visited theme park in the world. Disney Resort has a second theme park.
 Disneyland has lots of places to eat: one of this place where you can drink alchol is called Club 33.
The park had a lots of problems in the years and few people died there but today it is the most visited park in the world.
