country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages
with them to England-After some time, the three languages became one new-language-English. The
name "English" comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. "England" means "Angle Land" or "Country of the Angles".
The language that we speak today－Modern English－is not the same as the English that people used many years ago, including Old English(before 1150)and Middle English(up till 1500).That language-Old
English-sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand
words in Old English. But Modern English does come from Old English, and it is still like it in many
important ways.

spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.
Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many
people"s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does
not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a
mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that
spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted
it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person
is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic
acid that made Popeye strong all along.

but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flatleaf parsley is easier
to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third
kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad and is often served with lamb,
fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens.If the root is used, then parsley is
considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners s
uggest that to get the besttasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year. You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water
overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when
temperatures are below twentyone degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. The seeds need rich

Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English
books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be
able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more
interesting that way.
It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve
your English. In addition, it will bring you a lot of fun and expand your view of the world. If you
make friends with a native speaker, you can practise your spoken English more often, and then
you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the
customs and habits of different cultures.
There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners, because they are not
confident about their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will
get your key words in the sentence and know the whole meaning. Therefore, it is unnecessary to
be afraid; just go ahead.
