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 strategy 1:

[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 retain 2 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,historians 3 believed that

[01:27.51]Stonehenge was a temple where special priests 4

[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 eclipse 5 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 honor 6 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!
