Customs and traditions in Great Britain
British nation is considered to be the most conservative in Europe. There are
many customs  and  some  of  them  are  very  old.  First  of  all  it  concerns  United
Kingdom political system. In Great Britain there is no written constitution, only
customs, traditions and precedents. After the English Revolution Great Britain
became headed by the King (now the Queen, Elizabeth the second). Traditionally the
Queen acts only on the advice of her Ministers. She reigns, but she does not rule.
Englishmen have traditions not only in political,
but in social life. For example, London, the capital of
England, is traditionally divided into three parts: the
West  End,  the  East  end,  and  the  City.  The  City  is  a
historical, financial and business center of London.
The East End is the district inhabited by the workers,
and the West End is a fashionable shopping and
entertaining center. English people like to spend their
free time in numerous pubs where they can have a glass of beer and talk about
different things with their friends.
The English are traditional about their meals. They
eat eggs and bacon with toasts for breakfast, pudding or
apple pie for dessert. Every English family has five o’clock
tea. A typical feature of an English house is a fireplace,
even when there is central heating in the house.
English people like domestic animals. Every family
has a pet: a dog, a cat or a bird.
Politeness is a characteristic feature of Englishmen.
They often say ‘Thank you’, ‘Sorry’, ‘Beg your pardon’.
Englishmen have many traditional holidays, such as Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day,
Mother’s day, Easter and others.

Crimes That Shocked the World
Text 1. 9/11
On September 11, 2001, the Islamic terrorist group
al-Qaeda launched a series of four coordinated attacks on
the United States, causing the deaths of almost 3,000
people. Terrorists took over four passenger jets,  so  they
could fly them into important buildings in suicide attacks.
Two  of  the  planes  were  crashed  into  the  twin  towers  of
the World Trade Center in New York; both towers
collapsed in a fiery disaster. Terrorists crashed a third plane into the Pentagon, but the
fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, meant for Washington, D.C., crashed into a
field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania when its passengers charged the cockpit.
Text 2. Leopold and Loeb
In 1924, University of Chicago law students
Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who were both from
wealthy families, decided to try to commit the perfect
crime. So, they kidnapped and murdered Robert Franks,
14, in Chicago. Despite all their planning, Leopold and
Loeb were caught and represented by famed attorney

137
Clarence Darrow; both received life sentences. Loeb was killed by a fellow prisoner
in 1936 while Leopold was released on parole in 1958 after 33 years and later died in
Puerto Rico.
Text 3. Jack Ruby
Just  as  shocking  as  Lee  Harvey  Oswald’s  killing  of
President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 was Dallas
nightclub owner Jack Ruby murdering the accused assassin two
days later on Nov. 24, 1963. As Oswald was being transferred
from police headquarters  to  the  jail,  Ruby  materialized  from  a
crowd of reporters and shot the alleged assassin. Americans
already reeling from Kennedy’s death witnessed Oswald being
murdered on live TV. While Ruby has long been fodder for
conspiracy theorists, investigators concluded he acted alone out of anger over
Oswald’s action. Ruby died in prison of cancer in 1967.
Text 4. Bruno Hauptmann
Charles Lindbergh, Jr., the son of beloved aviator Charles
Lindbergh and his wife Anne, was kidnapped in 1932 in one of
the most notorious crimes of the 20th century. Two months after
the 20-month-old boy vanished from his New Jersey home,
Charles Jr.’s body was discovered a short distance from the
Lindberghs’ home. He had died from a massive skull fracture.
Hauptmann was charged with the crime and convicted in a 1935
trial. Despite insisting he was innocent, Hauptmann died in the
electric chair in 1936.
Text 5. The Beltway Sniper Attacks
The Americans were terrified for three weeks in
2002 when a rash of mysterious shootings took place
in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, killing
ten people and injuring three. Finally, cops caught
John Allen Muhammad and his companion, Lee Boyd
Malvo, 17, in a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan, and the
public learned they were behind the sniper attacks. In
2003, Muhammad was sentenced to death and he was
executed in 2009 by lethal injections. Malvo was sentenced to six consecutive life
sentences without the possibility of parole.

Text 6. Schiphol Airport Diamond Heist
Amsterdam’s airport was the scene of history’s
largest diamond heist in February, 2005. Robbers used a
stolen KLM cargo truck and uniforms to get access to the
area, and then stole $118 million worth of diamonds at
Schiphol’s cargo terminal without firing a shot. The case
has never been solved and in 2013, a similar unsolved
heist happened at Brussels airport.
Text 7. D.B. Cooper
On Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, D.B. Cooper, a mysterious
man in a black suit, hijacked a Portland-to-Seattle plane and
produced a ransom note demanding $200,000 and four
parachutes. The plane’s crew landed, released the other
passengers, and took off again under Cooper’s direction. He
soon  put  on  one  of  the  parachutes  and  jumped  off  the  plane
from 10,000 feet into the woods below. Cooper’s fate remains
unknown, but in 1980, a child playing in the woods found
$5,800 of his hijacking take in the Colombia River in Portland.
Text 8. Brinks Security Robbery
In January 1950, a gang of thieves wearing
Halloween masks and phony uniforms broke into
Brink's Security World Headquarters in Boston and ran
away with $3 million, at the time the largest heist in
history. The men vowed not to spend the money until
the six-year statute of limitations for theft had passed.
When one of the gang was arrested for another crime,
however, he turned into an informant and all of them got life in prison. Only a small
portion of the money was ever found.
Text 9. Boston Marathon Bombings
In a terrorist incident that struck fear into the
hearts of Americans, immigrant brothers Dzhokhar
and Tamerlan Tsarnaev allegedly put two pressure
cooker bombs along the route of 2013’s Boston
Marathon, killing three people and injuring 264
others. When the brothers’ video images were
publicized, they went on the run, allegedly killing
a cop and carjacking  a  SUV.  After  a  gun  battle
with police in Watertown, Massachusetts, Tamerlan died while Dzhokhar was caught

139
in a boat after a manhunt. He was indicted on 30 charges relating tohomegrown,
including use of weapon and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
Seventeen charges are punishable by death. Dzhokhar has confessed to planting the
bombs, and was found guilty on all charges on April 8, 2015. On May 15, 2015, a
jury sentenced Dzhokhar to death by lethal injection.

Lee Harvey Oswald
In 1963 the world was shaken by the news that President Kennedy had been
assassinated in Dallas, Texas, while driving from airport. The men arrested for this
terrible crime was Lee Harvey Oswald. After service in the U.S. Marine Corps,
Oswald went to the Soviet Union for a time and married a Russian girl. On returning
to the United States he was for a time involved with Cuban revolutionary elements.
On 22
nd
 November, 1963, he is said to have taken a rifle into the Texas Book

145
Depository in Dallas, where he
worked, and shot President Kennedy
and  Governor  Conally  of  Texas  as
they drove past. Conally survived, but
the President died soon afterwards.
Oswald tried to escape, shooting a
policeman who tried to stop him. He
was caught, but was later shot dead
before he could be brought to trial by
the night-club owner Jack Ruby, who
had got into the police station.
What was Lee Harvey Oswald’s motive to assassinate President John F.
Kennedy? It is possible that Oswald’s motive had nothing to do with anger towards
or hatred for President Kennedy. His actions may have resulted from his emotional
immaturity and lack of self-esteem. He spent most of his adult life trying to make
himself the center of attention. In the end, Oswald placed himself at the center of the
largest possible stage by assassinating the President of the United States of America.
Ironically, he did not live long enough to receive the attention that he so badly
sought.
2. Translate into Kazakh / Russian the underlined words.
3. Define the true (+) and false (-) statements. Correct the false ones.
a) President Kennedy has been assassinated in Dallas, Texas, in 1963.

c) Oswald committed assassination with a machine-gun.
d) He worked in the Texas Book Depository in Dallas.
e) Governor Conally of Texas survived, but the President died soon afterwards.
f) Oswald escaped and had never been caught by the police.
g) He was tried and executed in a prison.
h) Oswald’s motive had nothing to do with anger towards or hatred for
President Kennedy.

Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen
Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, usually known as Dr. Crippen, was hanged in
Pentonville, England, on November 23, 1910 for murdering his wife. He has gone
down in history as the first criminal to be captured with the aid of wireless
telegraphy.
He was an American-born doctor who settled in London, in 1900 with his wife
Cora. In 1910, Crippen’s wife vanished in suspicious circumstances and when the
house was searched her dismembered body was discovered buried in a cellar. She had
been poisoned. Meanwhile, Crippen had fled with his girlfriend Ethel Le Neve, who
was disguised as a boy. They thought that they were safe once they boarded the liner
Montrose for America, but the authorities used the newly invented wireless to pass a
warning to the ship’s captain. Shortly afterwards “Mr. Robinson” and “his son” were
recognised  and  Crippen  and  Le  Neve  were  arrested  in  New  York  and  returned  to
Britain. Largely due to Crippen’s insistence that she knew nothing of the crime, Ethel
Le Neve was freed, but Crippen was hanged at Pentonville prison onNovember 23,
1910.

Bonnie and Clyde
In the days of Depression in America after 1929, these two young people made
a great name for themselves robbing stores and committing murders. Bonnie Parker
was a waitress when she met Clyde Barrow, and she ended as a legendary figure
known for her love of red dresses, cigars and firearms. Working in the southern states
of the USA they were trapped by the police, but escaped even through a hail of
bullets. On one occasion they held up a prison farm killing a guard and helping a
friend to escape. Huge rewards were offered for their capture. Following a tip-off, the
police finally ambushed Bonnie and Clyde at a crossroads and killed them in the
gunfight that followed. In 1967 a film was made of their exploits, which resulted in
the two becoming almost cult figures, and a pop song was written about them, which
became a best-selling record.

Alphonse Capone
‘Al’ Capone is possibly the best-known of all American gangsters. His home
ground was Chicago. He was brought into the rackets by Johnny Torrio and Torrio’s
uncle ‘Big Jim’ Colosimo. Capone seized his chance when Prohibition was declared
in 1920, which made the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal in America. He soon
rose to control a large part of the illegal liquor market in Chicago and the Middle
West. He was responsible for many gangland killings, including the 1929 St.
Valentine’s Day Massacre, in which seven rival ‘bootleggers’ (men selling illegal
liquor) were trapped by gunmen dressed as police and machine-gunned to death. He
was imprisoned in 1931 on income tax charges, became a model prisoner and was
released in 1939.

Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is the best known name given to an unidentified serial killer or
killers active in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name
originated in a letter written by someone claiming to be the murderer that was widely
disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been writtenby
journalists in an attempt to heighten interest in the story and increase their
newspaper’s circulation. Within the crime case files the killer was called ‘the
Whitechapel Murderer’ as well as ‘Leather Apron’.
His victims, all women were killed by having their throats cut, and in many
cases the bodies were savagely mutilated as well. The number of victims is said to be
between four and fourteen, though police authorities generally thought that only five
murders were definitely the work of the Ripper. The Ripper was never caught, and
his identity remains a mystery.

GUNMAN STEALS £650,000 PICASSO
A thief stopped a
taxi outside the Hilton
hotel at midday yesterday
and asked to go to the
Lefevre Gallery in
central London. Giving
the  driver  a  £10  tip  to
wait, he walked into the
private gallery and asked
the value of Picasso’s
Tête de femme. The
portrait of Picasso's
girlfriend, Dora Maar,
was painted in 1939 and
is valued at £650,000.
“He seemed very
civilised until he pulled
out his gun”, said
Camilla Bois, one of two
assistants in the gallery
when the thief entered.
He demanded the
picture from the other
assistant, Jacqueline
Cartwright. “He looked
like  an  art  student  with
long hair”, she said. He
told her he had a gun and
he wanted the picture. He
told her to get it off the
wall,  but  she  said  she
could not. The man then
pulled the picture from
the  wall  and  ran  out  of
the gallery. The whole
operation took 35
seconds.
At  the  taxi,  the
thief pointed the gun at
the driver and demanded
to
 be
 taken
 to
Wimbledon, south-west
London.
