Catholic 天主教徒

Catholics and Protestants believe and do many of the same things, but they also believe and do some things differently.
Protestant Christianity began in the 1500's when a group of people began to protest against some of the wrong things they believed the Catholic Church was doing and teaching. These protesters became separated from the Catholic Church and formed their own Church which was more inline with what they believed was the truth.
The Gunpowder Plot was a conspiracy in 1605 in England to blow up King James I of England and Parliament to avenge the persecution of Catholics in England.
Guy Fawkes (1570 –1606) planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

Have you ever heard about Guy Fawkes Night in Britain? Do you know its origin?
The tradition of Guy Fawkes Night actually began the very same year as the failed Gunpowder Plot. The Plot was failed on the night between the 4th and 5th of November 1605. Already on the 5th, agitated Londoners who knew little more than that their King had been saved, joyfully lit bonfires in thanksgiving. People placed effigies of Guy Fawkes onto bonfires, and fireworks were added to the celebrations.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. We see no reason why Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!
Fill in the timeline.
Catesby asked Guy Fawkes to join a plot to blow up the government.
The two bought a house close to the Houses of Parliament.
King James had the cellars searched when he heard of the plan. He found Fawkes.
Parliament was opened and there were celebrations because the plot had failed.
They stored gunpowder
in the cellars for the next three days.

Untidy dining area in school People drop litter and don’t pick it up Posters and monitors to make sure litter is collected by those who drop it
Dear Sir / Madam,
I hate untidy dining halls and ours is particularly dirty. People seem to treat it as if it were a rubbish area. They leave the leftover food about, on the table or on the floor. This makes the hall look particularly unpleasant for other people who come to eat there.
But I have several solutions. First, make people pick up their own litter. We can do this by asking some of the older students to walk around the hall and watch out for those that drop litter. Second, we can put posters around
Sample writing
The hall asking people to be more thoughtful for others. They should leave the hall as they would wish to find it. Third, we can make those who are found dropping litter stay behind. They can tidy up the hall after all the students have finished their meal.
I hope you find my ideas useful.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Yours sincerely,
Lily
