The hundred years' War began in 1337 and continued for more than a century. It was not a single war but a series of skirmishes between England and France. It began when the English tried to dominate France,and the French in turn tried to confiscate lands occupied by the English.
The English invaded France and won a great battle at Crecy. The British archers with their longbows defeated a much larger army of knights, marking the beginning of the end for mounted nights. Further battles followed, but in 1396 Richard II of England married the daughter of Charles VI of France, establishing a 20 year truce that finally ended the fighting

How did the Olympic games begin?
The Olympic games started as a religious festival held in ancient Greece in honour of Zeus, the king of the gods. The festival was held at Olympia, below Mount Olympus, the home of gods, every four years. The first staging of the Olympic game that we know of was in 776BC. People came from all over Greece to take part in or watch the games. The winners of sport such as running and discus were rewarded with crowns of olive leafs. The games continued until AD393 when the ruling Romans banned them. They were revived during the 1800s after archaeological finds renewed interest in Greece. The first of the modern Olympic games were held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. The modern Olympic games are divided into winter and summer events, which take place two years apart.

Electricity
Electricity is the energy that makes everything from toasters to tube trains work.It is also linked with magnetism. Together they form basic forces that holds the universe together- electromagnetism.Electricity starts with atoms and tiny parts of each atom are called electrons.Just as magnets are drawn together,so electrons are drawn to the center of the atom.This attraction is called' electric charge'.Electrons have a ' negative' charge; atomic centers a ' positive' one.It is the combined attraction of billions of tiny electrons to billions of tiny atom centers that creates electricity.
My Favourite Team
This is a football team. I like this team. It is AC Milan. I want that some day I will go and see them in Italy, but you need lots of money to go. So I have to watch them on TV. I always wish them good luck.
