Queen Elizabeth I of England
Queen Elizabeth I of England was born in Greenwich on September 7, 1533. She became the queen when she was 25. Elizabeth studied well and learned to speak Latin, French, Italian, Greek and English, of course! She was intelligent, energetic and brave. She was the first British monarch with an English mother and an English father. But she never married and never had children. Many men wanted to marry
her, but she said no to all of them.
Elizabeth was the Queen for 44 years. This period is called the Golden Age because England became a rich and powerful country for the first time. It was a Golden Age for literature, discoveries and heroes too.

It was a very interesting test. It was interesting for me to read about queen Elizabeth I because I didn’t know anything about her. I was suprised to know that she didn’t have children. It’s great that Walter Raleigh brought potatoes from America and the English started growing them. They liked potatoes very much that they became their traditional dish – fish and chips. It was easy for me to do all the tasks.
