fleet street
fleet street runs east from the royal courts of justice as far as ludgate circus. it
takes its name from the fleet river, which years ago followed the route where farrington road now
stands. at that time traffic had to cross over the fleet bridge in order to reach the
cathedral.
fleet street’s associations with printing go back to the end of the 15th century,
when the pioneer publisher wynkyn de worde moved here from westminster. between
1500 and his death in 1535, from his premises he printed and published hundreds of
books, many on legal and religious subjects (the inns of court and blackfriars monastery were both nearby).
other printers also working in the area included richard pynson, printer to the
king after 1508, whose office was at the corner of fleet street and chancery lane. in 1530 sir
thomas more’s nephew william rastell began printing and selling books from
premises in st bride’s churchyard, bringing out an edition of his uncle’s works in 1557. it was clear that the publishing industry was here to stay. a key date in the history
of fleet street was the year 1702 when the first newspaper, the daily courant, appeared. since then the street became home
to hundreds of newspapers, and its name is still synonymous with british national
journalism.
this state of affairs only came to an end in 1980’s, when the british press was going through a period of deep crisis caused by the
changeover to the new technology, which necessitated relocating to gain more space.
the times led the way, to docklands, and within a few years fleet street was stripped
of its soul.

Сочинение на тему " проффесиональный спорт за\против"
everybody knows that sport is healthy. it helps to keep fit. but what is about professional sportsmen. are they healthy?
on one hand, professional sportsmen are full of life strong people with good health. but on the other hand, the main part of their life is the professional traumas. everybody knows a story of one boxer, named muhammad ali. he was the winner of the olympics in 1960. he won 51 out of 56 combats. he was the real master of boxing. but the price for that was very high - he got parkinson disease at the age of 40.
another problem is dope. sportsmen use it to win the first places and gold medals. but they don’t know if it will bring no harm in future .for example, body builders use the steroids to gain muscles. but is it very harmful for them. they can have problems with health in future.
sportsmen are forced to retire young. to be sportsmen is not meant to be healthy. it is a hard job. you can be popular, you can win a lot of medals, you can be rich but what you will have in future nobody knows.
