Nhiều người trong số các bạn đã rất xúc động khi thấy sự hào nhoáng và lộng lẫy của thế giới thời trung cổ được tái hiện trên phim ảnh và truyền hình. Một thế giới của Vua Arthur, các Hiệp sĩ Bàn tròn dũng cảm của ông và những người phụ nữ xinh đẹp của họ, nơi các pháp sư và phù thủy chiến đấu để giành quyền kiểm soát sức mạnh của thiện và ác.
Ở một góc yên tĩnh của vùng nông thôn nước Anh, linh hồn thời trung cổ này đang được bà Jane Laloe, một người phụ nữ có những sở thích khác thường, gìn giữ. Cô và chồng, Michael, sở hữu một trang trại nuôi bò đực giống thuần chủng rộng 90 mẫu Anh ở Devon.
Qua nhiều năm, cô đã biến trang trại này thành nơi gặp gỡ của những người nuôi chim ưng, cung thủ và những người yêu thích môn thể thao đấu thương thời trung cổ. Không có gì lạ khi nghe thấy những tiếng đấu thương vui vẻ phát ra từ khu đất của Laloe. Vào những thời điểm nhất định trong năm, bà Laloe tổ chức các giải đấu khi bạn bè và hàng xóm, mặc áo choàng đích thực, gặp nhau để chiến đấu. “Tất cả đều rất sặc sỡ và trông chân thực kinh khủng,” bà Laloe hào hứng. “Chúng tôi có rất nhiều niềm vui.”

Identify 10 errors in the following passage and correct them
The BBC World Service on radios claims a regular worldwide audience of some 25 million for their English language programmes. It is funded directly by the British Foreign Office, despite any Government attempt to control the content of programmes are vigorously fought off. It is broadcast around the world and nobody who has access to a radio with short wave need be without it. The archetype listener today is under 30, male, likely to be the second or even third language. Few women tune in, which is why there is no women’s programme including in its 24-hour services. The biggest and the most important of the news programme is Newshour, a 60-minute survey of world news which goes out at night at 10 p.m. British time. This slot cannot please everyone but be the optimum time to catch any listeners having breakfast in Hongkong or settling down during the night in West African. It can recommend to anyone who wants to understand the world, not just Britain. At any rate, which is its aim and certainly by comparison, most British domestic news programmes seem trivial and parochial.
We didn’t find out about the meeting until he phoned us.
