It can't be a temple-but it could be a calendar.
[00:10.04]Section 1 Before You Read
[00:13.20]PAIRWORK
[00:14.99]Look at the pictures.
[00:17.17]Who built these things?
[00:19.31]Why did they build them?
[00:22.22]Discuss with your partner.
[00:24.96]Section 2 While You Read
[00:28.94]Learning strategy1:
[00:31.58]RETAINING LANGUAGE
[00:34.35]After doing exercises in your books,try writing
[00:39.53]the answers in full sentences somewhere else.
[00:44.19]Come back to these sentences another day
[00:48.05]and recite them a few times.
[00:51.48]This will help you to learn
[00:53.67]and retain2 new language.
[00:57.21]It can't be a temple-but it could be a calendar.
[01:02.92]Every year,thousands of tourists from
[01:06.31]all over the world visit Stonehenge.
[01:10.40]This is not only one of England's most famous
[01:13.95]historical places,
[01:16.13]but also one of its greatest mysteries.
[01:20.62]Why was it built?
[01:23.04]For a long time,historians3 believed that
[01:27.51]Stonehenge was a temple where special priests4
[01:31.94]prayed to ancient earth gods.
[01:34.63]However,historian Paul Stoker thinks
[01:38.88]this isn't true.
[01:41.24]"Stonehenge can't be a temple,"he says,
[01:45.11]"because those priests didn't arrive in England
[01:48.89]until a few hundred years BC.
[01:52.61]And we know that Stonehenge was built many,
[01:56.53]many centuries earlier than that."
[01:59.86]Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might
[02:04.56]be a kind of calendar.
[02:07.55]This is because the large stones have been
[02:11.09]put in position so that on a midsummer's morning
[02:15.70]the sun's rays go directly into the center.
[02:20.23]And some people believe it was used to predict
[02:24.28]an eclipse5 of the sun.
[02:27.11]Again,no one is sure what Stonehenge was used
[02:31.20]for,but most historians agree that the
[02:35.16]position of the stones must be used for
[02:38.22]a special purpose.
[02:40.89]There are other ideas,too.
[02:44.35]Some historians think it might be a burial place
[02:48.39]or a place to honor6 ancestors.
[02:52.21]Others think that it was built to celebrate
[02:55.49]a great victory over an enemy.
[02:58.88]Who built it?
[03:01.21]Stonehenge was bulit in several stages,
[03:04.66]but most historians think it must be almost
[03:08.30]5,000 years old.
[03:11.51]One of the greatest mysteries is
[03:14.04]how it was built,
[03:15.88]because the stones are so big and heavy.
[03:20.84]In 2001,a group of English volunteers tried
[03:26.02]to build another Stonehenge,but they couldn't.
[03:31.23]"We don't know who built Stonehenge,
[03:34.51]or how they did it."says Paul Stoker,
[03:38.26]"and perhaps we might never know.
[03:41.62]But we do know that they must have been very
[03:45.47]organized and hardworking people."
[03:48.67]Section 3 After You Read
[03:53.17]3a Write sentences to show what historians
[03:58.82]think Stonehenge might be,or can't be.
[04:04.24]3b Match each word with its meaning.
[04:09.67]Now write full sentences in your notebooks
[04:13.54]using each word.
[04:16.82]Section 4 Go For It!
