• In the Middle Ages the fireplaces in the halls of large castles were very wide. < >iilу

 

wood was burnt, and large logs were brought from the forests, and held us they

burnt, on metal bars. Such big fireplaces may still be seen in old inns, and in some of them there are even seats inside the fireplace. When coal fires became common, fireplaces became much smaller. Grates were used to hold the coal. Above the fireplace there was usually a shelf on which there was often a clock, and framed family photos.

The safety elevator (Br. lift), which does not fall if cable breaks, was invented by the

American inventor Elisha Otis. The first one to carry people was installed in a store in New York in 1857.

• Whenever you decide to stay in Britain, you are advised to take a plug adaptor if you plan to use any electrical appliance like a fan or a hairdryer. Plugs in Britain (like a lot of other things) are different from the rest of Europe.

That was my first interview. 1 arrived fifteen minutes before the interview with a resume and two references. 1 wanted to make a good impression and get this job. I knew that a programmer must have a good logical mind, a good memory and an attention to detail, but 1 also understood that a logical mind was not enough to get me this job. So I took all my certificates with me. I had no experience and it was my weak point, but I showed the interviewers an impressive piece of software with my name on it. Besides I was good at modern programming languages and there was a demand for good С++, Delphi and Java developers. Two weeks later I got a letter from the company. They hired me.
