Trafalgar SquareThis is one of the nerve-centres of London. It was named Trafalgar Square to commemorate the historical naval victory won on the 21st of October 1805 by the British fleet under the command of Horatio Nelson over the combined French-Spanish fleet commanded by Villeneuve. The battle took place at Cape Trafalgar in the mouth of the Straits of Gibraltar and lasted several hours. Nelson was fatally wounded by a shot which broke his backbone. He died on board his flagship the Victory, but not before being told that he had won the battle.Nelson's Column, with the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on top, rises in the centre of Trafalgar Square. This most impressive monument is 170 feet (about 52 m) tall. The statue of Nelson, placed facing towards the sea he loved, measures 17 feet (more than 5 m) in height.To the north-east of Trafalgar Square there is the building that houses the National Gallery of Art - one of the most important Art Galleries in the world - and behind is the National Portrait Gallery.Quite often the square becomes the location for meetings and in it crowds of Londoners congregate to celebrate political rallies. So it can be said that Trafalgar Square is the heart from which the beat is emitted to all the Londoners.There are many pigeons in the square and Londoners like to feed them. Everybody knows that the dove is the symbol of peace all over the world.

There were two boys in a class who were friends. They were together everywhere. Everybody considered them as good friends. Peter was good at studying but Nick studied a little worse especially in mathematics.
Nick’s mother was sick for a long time and he did his best not to upset her. At that time there was a math test. Peter did the test quickly and when he saw that Nick didn’t do the task he wrote the solution on a piece of paper and thrown it to him. Nick didn’t know what to do for some time but the thought of the sick mother overcame his conscience. He wrote the test and gave it to the teacher. Nick was in a bad mood all day and his mother noticed it but her son didn’t tell her anything. The next day the teacher was telling the results. She praised those students who had written the test well especially she was happy about Nick :” You pleased me very much, Nick”, she said. Nick took his notebook but he couldn’t look in the teacher’s eyes because he was ashamed. At the next desk cried Kate because she’s got “2”. The lesson was almost over when Nick suddenly stood up, went to the teacher and said:”Olga Nikolayevna grade my work as “2”, “5” isn’t my mark, I have copied the test”. The teacher looked at him kindly and said:”The truth lives with good people”. It’s very good that you’ve understood everything”. She corrected the mark and Nick carried his notebook as if he got “5”, not “2”.
