NORWICH Norwich, the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia, has existed as a place to live for more than two thousand years. It began as a small village beside the River Wensum. At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 it had grown to become one of the largest towns in England. With two cathedrals and a mosque, Norwich has long been a popular centre for various religions. The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern itself independently. Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150,000, but in the 16th century Norwich was the second city of England. It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in the year. Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs, but in 1964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich. With its fastgrowing student population and its success as a modern commercial centre (Norwich is the biggest centre for insurance services outside London), the city now has a wide choice of entertainment: theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafs, excellent restaurants, and a number of arts and leisure centres. There is also a football team, whose colours are green and yellow. The team is known as 'The Canaries', though nobody can be sure why. Now the city's attractions include another important development, a modern shopping centre called 'The Castle Mall'. The people of Norwich lived with a very large hole in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park. Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city centre park, with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees. But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new development. Both areas continue to do good business, proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new. Questions 1 - The River Wensum flows through East Anglia. 2 - People have lived by the River Wensum for at least 2000 years.

3 - In the 11th century, Norwich was a small village. 4 - Norwich has been a city since its first cathedral was built. 5 - Norwich has always been one of the smallest English cities. 6 - There are more than 50 churches in Norwich. 7 - The number of students in Norwich is increasing. 8 - The Norwich City football team is called 'The Canaries' because of the colours the players wear. 9 - The Castle Mall' took more than two years to build. 10 - Norwich people still like using the old market as well as shopping in 'The Castle Mall'. Carnival Safety Success This year's Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's biggest street festival, was the best ever. Despite the cloudy skies, the carnival brought the streets to life in its own unique way with record numbers and little reported crime. After the two murders in 2009, there had been major safety worries concerning this year's carnival. To deal with these fears several changes were made. Firstly, the route for the carnival was changed to avoid the narrowest streets in Notting Hill, a residential area with many small roads. Secondly, the carnival organisers provided more stewards and they received better training. Finally, the organisers ensured that the ending time, 9 p.m., was closely observed. Following these changes, Carnival 2010 saw more than a million people party in the streets of Notting Hill. More than 3,000 people dressed in spectacular colourful costumes and paraded and danced through the streets, crowds of four and five people deep lined the route to try and see the event. Residents partied on apartment balconies and even the police took part. Apart from the carnival parade, the local area was filled with sound systems pumping out music of all different kinds Samba, Reggae and Rap music being the most common. Police yesterday said that 56 arrests were made over the weekend, which included 30 arrests for pick-pocketing and three for robbery. The chairman of the Notting Hill Carnival Trust, Chris Mullard, yesterday said, "The criticism of the event has been illfounded and I hope people will now see the carnival for what it is; a wonderful opportunity to project the multiculturalism that is metropolitan London." Questions 1 - In Europe, there is a bigger festival than Notting Hill Carnival. 2 - The weather was very good at this year's Carnival. 3 - The carnival parade went a different way this year. 4 - Many activities continued till midnight. 5 - Over a million people wore special costumes. 6 - For some people, it was difficult to see the parade. 7 - Some police danced and partied. 8 - There were many kinds of music. 9 - More than half the arrests were for theft. 10 - The carnival represents only one group or community in London.
