"Stories in the english speaking world" + Audio

 Leonardo Nascimento nº19 12Ct8

The more time passes, the more the story is written. We cannot be sure that much of the information that is passed on to us is true because we were not present in past moments to verify it, hence the stories invented by our ancestors arise, but these stories have already are so traditional and are already so much a part of English culture that everyone loves them.



One of the most prominent stories today is that of a mythical English hero, an outlaw who stole from the nobility to give to the poor. He would have lived in the 12th century, at the time of King Ricardo, and the great Crusades. He was skilled in archery and lived in the Sherwood forest, where he was helped by a band of friends, including, Frei Tuck, Allan Dale, and Will Scarlet, among other forest dwellers. He cherished freedom, the outdoors, and the adventurous spirit. He was immortalized as "Prince of thieves". Whether or not he existed as we know him, "Robin Hood" is, for many, one of England's greatest heroes.

Another story that has even influenced the present by creating games based on books and even films is ... " the monster of the lake ness "the story is simple consists of a marine reptile also known simply by Nessie, it is an aquatic cryptid that was allegedly seen at Loch Ness (Loch Ness) in the Scottish Highlands, UK. Its existence (or not) continues to raise debate between skeptics and believers and is one of the mysteries of cryptozoology. The Loch Ness monster is described as a species of snake or marine reptile, similar to the plesiosaur, prehistoric sauropterygians.

The Origins of English

  Marcio Lavandeira 12.ºCT8 English is a language that is spoken around the entire globe. But where did English come from?
