庞贝蒋琬

The teacher explained from the Oxford University Museum, and finally went to the chris church College, bringing us a very detailed history of the UK and the origin of Oxford. The most impressive is the story of Bloody Mary: the conflict between the old and the new, the three archbishops burned to death, the violence and killing brought by the unfortunate childhood. The teacher is very prepared! When narrating, you can also quote the current scriptures. Children can also brain-fill and remember these stories according to the film and television works, such as the history and college division of labor of the entire Oxford University. You can combine the plot of Harry Potter to understand the three-hour explanation. Let&#39;s not get too far!
