About Boxing

Boxing is an old sport, going back to the days of ancient Greece, where it was an important part of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were held during the hottest part of the summer, and the boxers were rubbed with oil to limit perspiration. Their hands were bound with heavy leather strips often loaded with lead or iron. So fighters were frequently maimed for life. There were no rounds and no time limits - the men fought until one of them was considered defeated.

The Englishman's Garden

The English like growing flowers. It's a useful occupation because it doesn't harm anyone. In winter the most romantic thing for some people is to pick up a seed catalogue and look at the brightly coloured pictures of summer flowers. Even people with a tiny patch of ground in towns like growing plants and people who have never seriously tried to speak any foreign language carefully learn the Latin names of the flowers they plant, so that they can tell them to their friends.

If you want to please an English person, be very polite about his garden. He will probably tell you about his garden. So you listen and say: "How interesting! How clever of you!"

The English gardens are internationally famous. Some of them are very beautiful, especially the big ones that are open to the public.
