ColorDifferences

Alligators and crocodiles are also slightly different colors. The typical crocodile tends to have a coloration that is an olive brown hue. Alligators usually have a darker, almost black appearance.

LocationandHabitat

Crocodiles and alligators are also found in different locations around the globe. Both crocodiles and alligators do well in environments that feature slow moving rivers with grasslands located adjacent to the river banks. Crocodiles live in parts of North, Central, and South America, and can be found in areas of Africa, Australia, and the southeast part of Asia. Alligators are native in the eastern section of China and the southern area of the United States, and are most common in states along the Gulf Coast. The lingual salt glands in crocodiles allows them to be more at home in salt water than alligators.

EXERCISE 2 Write an identity card of crocodiles and alligators according to the main differences between them

The Traditions of the Northern Celts

Island Culture

Islands have a special place in Celtic mythology. Over again in Celtic writings, folk beliefs, burial customs and religious sculpture appears the idea of an Elysium, "a land of youth." In Gaelic, this is known as Tir nan Og ; in Welsh as Afallon(Avalon or Apple Island). This, "the Isle of the Blessed" is a special place, always located to the west, beckoning to all but visited only by a select few. It is an island free from storms , cold and ice, pestilence and diseases. It is blessed by eternal spring, abundant, always-present harvests, full of flowering trees and delicious fruit.

The whole island of mainland Britain had an aura of the supernatural for both Greek and Roman. To the latter, it was known as Insula Sacra (The Sacred Isle). The Roman writer Demetrius visited Britain in the first century B.C.; he described sacred isles lying off the western coast. He reported that some of these uninhabited isles were named after local gods or heroes.

Outer Hebrides

While much of the Celtic traditions are no longer extant at Orkney , it is a different matter in the Outer Hebrides. It is here that the remote, archaic, Celtic world endures. It is here that the ancient Gaelic language survives in a kind of cultural and ecological oasis where the people work the soil, fish the waters and weave their cloth in traditional ways. It is here, too, that we still find the villagers meeting together to sing their ancient songs and spend the long, dark winter nights in the tigh-cheilidh (meeting-house or house of entertanment) under the spell of the seanachadh, the teller of tales.

Choose between true(T),false(F) or not in the text(N) Islands were preferred to mainland by the Celts T F N Tir nan Og was situated in the east of England T F N Avalon was the Gaelic name of the Apple Island T F N The Isle of the Blessed is a particular heavenly place T F N The Romans visited these remote lands T F N Nowadays Celtic traditions don't exist anymore T.
