A Norman baron built Leeds Castle in 1119, and his family lived there for about 160 years. It then became a royal palace and the home of six queens of England, including the Spanish princess, Eleanor of Castle. From 1552 the castle was the home of a governor of Ireland, and it remained a private home until 1976.
Today the castle is a museum and conference center. Many of the rooms are the same as they were in the past, with old furniture and paintings. The King's Dining Room, more than twenty meters long, has furniture from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Queen's Room, which was a bedroom, a dining room and reception room, is decorated as it was in 1430. The Queen's Bathroom has a wooden bath where the queen washed. The Great Hall is now a museum. All these rooms are open to the public. Some other rooms--the library and the billiard room, for example--are used for seminars and meetings. These rooms have modern furniture and equipment.
The castle and its beautiful gardens are open to the public all year round.

Mark Shackleton's opinion on people who keep pets has received a lot of comments from our readers. Here are two of them.
Kungsbacka
Sweden
Dear Lucy,
In my opinion, animals like cats or dogs are good company for old and lonely people. But in the past dogs were good helpers for hunters, they watched the house, and so on. The cats who lived on the farms helped the farmers to kill rats and keep other small animals out of the farm. I agree with Mark about the danger of keeping animals in big cities and houses and giving them plastic bones and bad food, etc. I hope we can give them the old life back again so they can live in natural environment but also close to people.
Yours sincerely,
Hans Borjesson
Broager Central Skole
Denmark
Dear Lucy,
We are some pupils who don't like Mark's opinion about pets in the October issue of Modern English. We disagree with him because we think that children have a lot of fun with pets and they learn how to treat animals. Many old people usually live alone and they love to talk to pets, they depend on them.
And what would happen if you let the pets go free? Very soon there would be more cats and dogs in the world than people. Or the animals would die because they weren't able to manage on their own. Look at the alleycats nowadays! They weren't taken care of. Finally, we don't think that Mark has a pet himself or else he would have known better.
Yours sincerely,
Pupils from Broager Central Skole

Dear Brenda,
I have just come back from France. It was the first time I had ever been there. We spent one day at Disneyland Park. We all had a good time there as it is a very exciting place. I've got lots of news to tell you.
When we arrived in Paris, my brother John was very excited. He wanted to go straight into the park, but my mother told him that he would have to wait until we had to check into the hotel.
About an hour later, we bought some tickets and John and I ran into the park. We got on a streetcar. It took us along a road called Main Street USA. The street is like an old American street with old-fashioned shops. Next we went to Adventureland. We went to see the Swiss Family Robinson who were having a picnic in their tree house. Before long, we were all hungry so we had lunch in a lovely American restaurant. The food was very delicious.
After that we went to Fantasyland. I thought it was great. It was my favorite part of the park. I talked with Alice and had tea and cakes. John went to see Sleeping Beauty's castle in the hope of seeing Sleeping Beauty. Unluckily, she was sleeping so he wasn't able to see her.
We decided to go to Discoveryland next. On our way we saw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. They are well-known cartoon characters. They were very big. They were much bigger than I had thought. It was late in the afternoon, but we thought we had just enough time to visit Discoveryland when John found he had lost a button from his shirt. We looked everywhere for the button, but we couldn't find it. When we arrived at the entrance to Discoveryland, there was a big sign on the gate that read “CLOSED”. We were too late. We were disappointed, but I agreed we had had a wonderful time.
I hope that we will go back soon.
Love,
Jenny
