  5. Two lines.
  6. The famous Woolsack.
  7. The oldest part of the Palace of Westminster
  
  1. The funny tradition.
  2. Important things.
  3. The Queen’s speech.
  4. The British Government.
  
  A. The Palace of Westminster consists of three parts: the Royal Apartments where the colour is gold, the
  House of Lords where the seats are red and the House of Commons where the seats are green. The Chamber
  of the House of Lords is also called the Parliament Chamber, because every year when the Queen comes to
  open Parliament, all three parts of Parliament come together here for the Queen's Speech. In fact, it's not really the Queen's Speech, because she doesn't write it. The Government writes it for her. In the speech the
  Queen tells Parliament about the Government's plans for the next year.
  B. Oh, and that cushion is, actually, the famous Woolsack. And yes, there is wool inside it. It's a part of a
  very old tradition which started in the 14th century. It was put in Parliament to symbolise the importance of
  wool to the British economy at that time. The person who usually sits on the Woolsack is the Lord
  Chancellor. He presides over the House of Lords.
  C. The House of Commons is where MPs make decisions on new laws. There are two statues, one on each
  side of the arch. Both of these two men were Prime Ministers. One is David Lloyd George, and the other - Sir Winston Churchill. They represent the two main British political parties - the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. They have a tradition: if you're a Conservative, touch Churchill's shoe, and if you're Labour, touch Lloyd George's shoe.
  D. These are two long narrow corridors which are very important for the whole country because MPs come here to vote on bills for new laws. On the left there is the "aye", or yes, lobby. MPs who agree with a bill go there. On the right there is the "no" lobby for MPs who want to vote against the bill. Then the officials count the "ayes" and the "noes" to get the results. So in the British Parliament MPs don't vote by pushing a button; they vote with their feet.
  E. Now look at the floor. Can you see two red lines in front of the benches on each side of the chamber?
  That's part of a tradition too. The distance between these two lines is two swords' lengths. In the old days when MPs used to carry swords, it was dangerous if they got angry with each other. So these two lines are here to remind MPs that they shouldn't start a fight, and they can't go over this line when they are speaking in a debate.
  F. Westminster Hall is the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, and it's more than a thousand years old. The son of William the Conqueror... Do you remember the Norman leader who won the Battle of Hastings? Well, it was his son who started the building of the hall. This building has seen a lot of famous events. In 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and in World War II bombs fell on it.

  Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez
  It’s been said and done
  Every beautiful thought’s been already sung
  And I guess right now here’s another one
  So your melody will play on and on, with the best of ‘em
  You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
  A center full of miracle, lyrical
  You’ve saved my life again
  And I want you to know baby
  [2x]
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
  
  
  
  Cursing me, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
  There’s no way to describe what you do to me
  You just do to me, what you do
  And it feels like I’ve been rescued
  I’ve been set free
  I am hyptonized by your destiny
  You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
  You are… I want you to know baby
  [2x]
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  I, I love you like a love song, baby
  And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
