Task 7
For beauty and for ramance the first place among all the cities of the United Kingdom must be given to Oxford. The impression that Oxford makes upon those who, familiar with her from early years, have learnt to know and love her in later life is remarkable. Teeming with much that is ancient, she appears as the embodiment of youth and beauty. Exquisite in line, sparkling with light and color, she seems very bright and young, while her sons fall into decay and perich. “Alma Mater!” they cry, and love her for her loveliness, till their dim eyes can look on her no more.
And this is for the reason that the true lovableness of Oxford cannot be learnted at once. As her charms have grown from age to age, so their real appreciation is gradual. Not that she cannot catch the eye of one who sees her for the first time, and smiling, hold him captive. This she can do now and then; but even so her new lover has yet to learn her preciousness.

But instead of using the usual white color for the envelope and cards, he and his bride chose Chinese red. The invitation itself combing English and Chinese,just as their church wedding ceremony did.

Task 8
Farming chsnged very little from early times until about 1700. in the 1700s an agricultural revolution took place which led to a large increase in the production of crops. This increase of crops came about in a large part by little more than the final destruction of medieval institutions and the more general adoption of techniques and crops which had been known for a long time. Included in some of these changes was also the adoption of crops from the “new world”such as corn and potatoes which produced a very large yield.
In th e1850s. the industrial revolution spilled over to the farm with new mechanized methods which increased production rates. Early on , the large changes were in the use of new farm implements. Most of these early implements were still powered by horses or oxen. These new implements combined with crop rotation. Manure and better soil preparation led to a steady increase of crop yield in Europe.
The advent of steam power and later gas powered engines brought a whole newe dimenison to the production of crops. Yet, even as recently as 100 years ago, four fitfths of the world population lived outside towns and were in some way dependant on agriculture.
