Different cultures-different pets

In Britain, about 50% of homes have got a pet. Almost six million people in Britain have got a dog and five million have got a cat. Dogs, cats, birds and fish are the world’s favourite pets.

But people in other countries have got different ideas about pets. In Arab countrises, for example, dogs are not popular because people believe they aren’t clean. And in Africa, very few people have got animals as pets

Some people in China and Japan have got small but noisy pets. They aren’t dogs, cats , fish or budgies: They’re fighting crickets. These pets are very noisy!

The Inuits of northern Canada keep bear cubs, foxes and baby seals They look after them until they grow up.

Our children don’t do much homework, but they do a lot of work in

lessons. He sometimes makes nice chairs out of old boxes in his class. He
and his friends make a lot of noise while they are working, of course.
George is good at sport: he does the high jump very well. Such sport makes
children a lot of good, I think. Don’t you?

My Country

 Armenia is a historical, geographical region in the north of Western Asia, where the Armenian nation was formed and passed its historical path. It includes the Armenian Highlands, which is one of the largest plateaus of Western Asia.

 According to different estimations the area of Armenia is 290,000 / 300,000 – 360,000km2. The highlands have been inhabited since ancient times. Archeological discoveries testify that archaic humans (Homo erectus) lived here 1.8 million years ago. Traces, left by Hominidae, represent all periods of the Stone Age.

 During its whole history the region was an organic part of many countries and was being wholly reigned by just one governor for too short periods.  The borders of entire historical and geographical Armenia coincide with the borders of historical countries of Greater Armenia (Metc Hayq) and Lesser Armenia (Poqr Hayq).

How was their country called?

Natives –Armenians- called their country “Hayastan” or ”Hayq”. Sumerians used to call it “Aratta”,  and Acadians called it “Armani” or “Armanum”. Hittites used the names “Hayasa” and “Armatana”, and Assyrians preferred the names “Uruatry/Urartu” and “Armi”. Persians called this country “Arminiua”, people of Elam called it “Harminua”, and Egyptians used the name “Ermenen”.  Georgians called this country სომხეთი (Somkheti).

 In European languages the name of the country came from the name “Armenia”, which is  the Latin version of Greek name “Ἀρμενία”
