    Quite an interesting video. I found it easy to understand. To be honest, I didn't really know anything about the British Library. Inconceivable, how long are the shelves with books there. Looking forward to seeing part 2 of the movie ;)

    questions:
    1.How has English changed over the years ?
    2.When was the first book in English printed ?
    3.How many people speaks English ?
    4.What items (exept books and magazines) can you find in the British Library ?
    5.Who printed the first book in English ?

    1. How many items are added every year to collection of British Library?
    2. How many people speaks English?
    3. Where is the National Library of Great Britain?
    4. What was English like thousand years ago?
    5. Who printed first book in English?

    I'm really suprised. To tell the truth, I thought it would be a typical, boring, academic video. I found that for 5 minutes I learned more than on the lesson. After seeing it, I learned many new things about the English language. I hope we will be able to see British Library, when we will in London on the school trip.

    question:

    How many items are in British Library?

    How many years has British Library's collection developed?

    In how many countries english language is the national language?

    How many new items are supplied in the years to the British Library?

    How english has changed?

    For me this video was really interesting. I learned that in The British Library they have over a 150 million items from every age of the written word. I also learned that every year they add about 3 million items there. I think that this video was really easy to understand. I hope the next task will be as interesting as this one.

    Questions:
    1. Why is English so popular?
    2. How does this language changes through the years?
    3. When was The British Library founded?
    4. Where is this library located?
    5. What is this monument close to the library?

    I am really suprised what I've learnt from this short video! Now I know even more about The British Library for example, how many books are there and more. I've learnt also that they have documents which have about 1000 years. It's really impressive. :)

    Ques:

    1. How many countries use English as a native language?
    2. How many items are added per a year?
    3. Is it true that the The British Library has the first printed book in English?
    4. Is it true that William Caxton printed this book?
    5. Why the author of this book had to spell this book by himself?
