№4. Domesday Book.
Having conquered England , William wanted to know just how much it was worth. In 1086 he ordered a detailed description to be made. In the words of the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle, ‘so very thoroughly did he have the enquiry carried out that not even one ox or one con or one pig escaped notice’ All this information was written down in Domesday Book.
Thanks to Domesday Book we know much more about England than about any other part of eleventh- century Europe. It shows, for example, that by 1086, twenty years after the Norman Conquest, there were hardly any rich landowners of English birth left in England. It was a land ruled by Frenchmen, especially by William’s favourite Normans.
№5. A way to success.
In the United States young actors usually go to Hollywood because most of the movies are made there. I didn’t go to Hollywood – it was my home, my family moved from New York to California before I was born. There are beautiful houses in Hollywood, but it isn’t all beautiful. My mother and I lived in a bad street where drugs and criminals were no surprise. My father moved away from home shortly after my birth but he often visited us and I was happy. I was not always a good boy, school didn’t interest me much. I liked playing and having fun. My first time on TV was at five but since I always wanted to play the show’s produces got angry with me and I had to wait for about nine years before my next chance. But TV wasn’t the only interesting thing, there remained books and movies, animals and the ocean.
