Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born to George VI and Elizabeth Bowes Lyon in April 21, 1926 in London. Elizabeth was the first child of Prince Albert, duke of York (later George VI), and her mother Elizabeth Bowes Lyon. She had only one sister-Princess Margaret. When Elizabeth was born she was in the third place to the monarchy, after her uncle Edward and her father. Everybody thought her uncle will have boys, but actually her uncle gave up the crown so unexpectedly she became heir to the throne. Over time her father involved her more and more in what happens in the kingdom. Elizabeth met her husband Philip (at this time, prince of Greece and Denmark) in 1939. In 1946 they were engaged in secret. Her father did not agree at first to the marriage, But Elizabeth had convinced him to change his mind and they celebrated their engagement in 1947. Elizabeth and Philip had four children. 60 years ago Elizabeth's father suddenly died in Februarys sixth and she became the queen of England. Her coronation ceremony was in June 2, 1953. Soon after her coronation Elizabeth and her husband went to a tour around the world. She had the longest role of any other queen. Her official role today is the head of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, Supreme Headquarters of the Britisharmy and head of the Church of England. If someone thinks it easy to be a queen he's wrong. Being a queen takes a lot of responsibilities and devotion. Over the years Elizabeth had to make very difficult decisions. All those years Elizabeth felt her monarchy is a religious mission, and she did not plan to leave her job despite all the hard times. The British nation wishes her many good years, luck and health.

=Interview=

__ Questions : __ **__ The interview with the queen Elizabeth: __** 1. I have done a lot of important things in my life, but in my opinion, one of the most important things was my tour in 1953. I visited places that other kings didn't, like Australia, New Zealand and Fiji so I developed new relationships with those countries. 2. Being the queen of England is a very demanding role. In the early years of my monarchy I had a lot of difficult situations such as the war and I think I did it very well. Now the times are peaceful and I can relax and enjoy the regular work as a queen: to meet diplomats and to improve the life of the civilians. 3. When I think about a place I really likes to be in, a secure and relaxing place, has to be my grandfather's house in London. I had a very close connection with him. I miss him dearly since 1936, the year he died. 4. If I could change something in the world I would change the social gaps and the high unemployment. These are the two important things I think need improvement and can make the world a better and equal place for human kind. 5. In my childhood, I really wanted friends, but as you probably know, as a princess it was very hard to live a life a regular child so at a certain point I became the best friend of my sister Margaret. In those times, I think the biggest thing I wanted was that all the civilians in the England kingdom will live a happy, safe life. 6. I was so happy joyful and delighted to hear about the marriage. I am tremendously proud of my grandson, Prince William and his fiancé' Kate Middleton. I wish them a blissful and healthy life together. I am always busy with the regular obligations that my status requires such as attending royal ceremonies, meeting people but not anything special. In my free time I like to watch horse racing. 7. I had become a queen in the year 1952 on the sixth of February, but the Official queen ceremony took place in June 1953 at the Westminster Abbey. I decided my royal name will be Elizabeth. This ceremony meant a lot me as a queen and I'll never forget it. 8. As a queen for a long time, I feel that there are many special things in my life because there were so many things that I have been through and I can say that every day had its own adventure. How ever, an unforgettable event happened to me. for example, my coronation ceremony was event ill never forget. 9. I have learned a lot of things during the years and I'm still learning today, but in my opinion the most important thing is the family-they are the closest persons to you and you have to help them and take care for them. Another thing is very important is to always be honest. Thank you very much!!!

=Speech=

My Dear Friends, We are gathered here today to celebrate a very special occasion, an unforgettable occasion- my mom's 86 birthday. My mom, queen Elizabeth, is one of the most special people I've ever met in my life and I thank G-d I have the honor to be her son. She had went through a lot of difficulties in life and every time the country had a crises she did the best to help Britain recover. Here we are 60 years after she started her role as a queen full of pride and appreciation. My mom has so many amazing qualities like her generosity and her will to help anyone who needs. She has warm relations with a lot of people and the entire kingdom residents love her. My mom had made great changes in the entire kingdom, personally ones and in general terms. I think it’s an excellent opportunity to say how much we thank her and appreciate the hard work and all the efforts she had invested in the kingdom. I've got the honor to bless her as a prince and also as a son. I want to wish her on behalf of the entire kingdom that every day she'll find a reason to smile, that all her dreams will come true and that the state will continue her good times now and forever. I love you and wish you the best, your son Edward.

I wrote about Queen Elizabeth first, because our teacher chose to write about Women of Valor. Second, Queen Elizabeth is a very special woman and we wanted to know about her more. She did many things in her work, especially in her early days to be queen of england. When we got this subject to this project we thought about one of the most famous and strong woman-the queen Elizabeth. We have found about her a lot of warm reviews and we saw her participate to many events and it makes us feel that she is want to get closer to her nation and she having successful work

=Reflection=

2. From this project we developed our searching skills-we were have to check every website before we took stuff from there. We also practice to do summarizing, to write good articles out of many other materials. We also have improved our writing skills and our vocabulary in order to write project in high level as we can. 3. It was very hard to do a work about someone so famous because everybody knows many things about Elizabeth and we wanted that our project will be interesting and new. In the end we managed it very well, in our opinion. 4. Did you have enough time for the paper? Yes b. Did you get enough help and support from your teacher? Yes c. Did you understand the instructions? Yes d. Were the assignments clear and fair? Yes 5.   We enjoyed working on this project because it was very interesting and we think that we have learned many things about England, the royal family and of course-Elizabeth II.
 * 1)  We have learned from this project that Elizabeth is a strong and interesting woman. She took and takes part in the management of the country and always stays there, even though the hard times. We learned from her – never give up and always to do our best.
