2 What do you call someone in the White House who is honest, ethical, intellectual, follows the laws, and truthful? A tourist. The White House For more than 200 years, the White House has been more than just the home of the Presidents and their families. Throughout the world, it is known as the symbol of the President, the United States and the American people. Its history in December of President Washington, together with the architect Pierre L Enfant, chose the place for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. A competition was held to find a builder of the "President s House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design. Construction began in October of Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was in 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved in. Since that time, each President has made his own changes and additions. The White House is, after all, the President s private home. It is also open to the public, free of charge. The White House has a unique and interesting history. It survived a fire in 1814 when British soldiers set it in fire, and another fire in the West Wing in 1929, while Herbert Hoover was President. The White House has different names in the past: the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion." President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its name in 1901 but we have documents that the public called it the "White House" from A legend says that during the rebuilding of the house after the 1814 fire, they painted the building with white paint to cover the burn damage and it gave the building its name. Presidents can rebuild or decorate some parts of the house if they wish because the White House is their private house. At the moment, there are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. With five full-time chefs, the White House kitchen is able to serve dinner to 140 guests and snacks to more than 1,000. For free time activities, the White House has a variety of facilities, including a tennis court, jogging track, swimming pool, movie theatre, and bowling lane. Apart from the many diplomats and politicians, it receives around 5000 public visitors a day.

Throughout the world, it is known as the symbol of the President, the United States and the American people. Its history in December of 1790.

minority kisebbség majority többség GRAMMAR BITS A Have és a Have got Mind a have, mind a have got a birtoklást, a tulajdonlást fejezi ki. Két szerkezet, megegyező jelentés.

4 Amennyiben a have (got) birtoklást fejez ki, nem lehet folyamatos alakba tenni: I am having an old car. ez NEM helyes! Múlt időben csak a have használható, a have got alak nem: She had long hair when she was a child. Hosszú haja volt, amikor gyerek volt. (She had got long hair... ez NEM helyes!) Kérdő és tagadó mondatok Kérdő és tagadó mondatszerkezetben három lehetséges forma van. Van kérdésed? Have you got any questions? Do you have any questions? Have you any questions? (kevésbé használt) Nincs kérdésem. I haven t got any questions. I don t have any questions. I haven t any questions. (kevésbé használt) Van autója? Has she got a car? Does she have a car? Has she a car? (kevésbé használt) Nincs autója. She hasn t got a car. She doesn t have a car. She hasn t a car. (kevésbé használt) Múlt időben itt is csak a did kérdőszóval lehet használni a have -et. Did you have a car when you were living in London? Volt autód, amikor Londonban éltél? She didn t have a watch, so she didn t know the time. Nem volt órája, így nem tudta az időt. Kifejezések a have igével Mint említettük, a have birtoklást fejez ki, valaminek a tulajdonlását. Az angol nyelvben mégis számtalan olyan szószerkezet van, amely ugyanezt a have igét nem birtoklás értelemben használja, hanem cselekvések leírására.
