A Japanese welcome

After I graduated from university I went to work

promptly fell fast asleep I must have been asleep

for some time when I was awoken suddenly by

a sharp buzzing noise My alarm clock wasn't

ringing, I realized it must be the doorbell so 1

went to the door, opened it, and peered outside A

kindJoaking middle-aged lady was standing there

holding a beautifully wrapped box,

I greeted her and she asked mne if I spake Japanese

I said that I didn't speak it very well, but that I

was hoping to take lessons while I was there She

replied that it was good to learn the local language

I complimented her on her English, She said that

she could speak a little, but she asked if I could speak slowly

1invited her in, but she declined my offer She just held the package out towards me I took it and asked what it was, She said that it was ‘omiyage’ (/aumijaega/) —a gift for me 1 thanked her and said that 1

was very grateful to receive it

She explained that in Japan if somebody moves into a new place, it’s traditional for neighbours to give

‘omiyage’ to welcome them I said that it was really nice to begin learning about Japanese traditions so soon after arriving

She told me not to open the box until later because the contents might spill out, She said that her name was Yasuko and that she lived at number 14, She added that if 1 had any problerns, I should come and

see her I told her my name was Peter I thanked her again for her kindness and we said goodbye

I waited until the sound of her footsteps died away, I looked at the box It was covered with brightly

coloured Japanese characters It was quite heavy and it made a swishing noise when I shook it I tore it open and

Peter Oh, hello there,

Yasuko Hello, Sorry, did I wake you up? Ura, do you speak Japanese?

It’s a mystery Eee 6D ni

A

Since the middle of the 1500s, English explorers had been exploring

the east coast of North America, Atthat time Queen Elizabeth was in

power and there was a lot of rivalry between England and Spain ka

Jd 1585, Elizabeth sent some English colonists to an island, which the

Native Americans called Roanoke She wanted to claim as much land

a5 possible to make England more powerful But the colarists didnt

know how to survive in that environment and they began to starve

When explorer Sir Francis Drake visited Roanake in 1586, he found

them starving and rescued ther

But Elizabeth was determined In1587, colonists were offered a

reward of 500 acres of land if they relocated to Roanoke, In total, 117

colonists were recruited: 91 men, 17 women, and 9 children They were

led by 2 man called John White, who took his family with him, When

they got te Roanoke they repeired the buildings that were already

there, but they didn’ have enough food to last through the winter

White took the decision to return to England to get more supplies,

butwhen he got there, he found that England was at war with Spain,

His ship was needed forthe battle against the Spanish Armada

The Mystery of Roanoke Island

After throe years, White was finally able to return

to his family on Roanoke When he and his men reached the shore they sawva fre blazing inthe

‘woods to the north ofthe island, They thought the fire was a signal from their farilies and headed towards it, but when they got there, they couldnt find anyone, White and his men searched the island but could not find any of the colonists, All the buildings had also gone,

Siv Francis Drake

There was very ltte evidence to suggest what had happened The men found the word ‘Croatoan’ carved inta a wooden fence post

“Crotoan’ was the name of a neighbouring island thes was inhabited by friendly Native Americans, There wes no evidence that the people had died or been killed, White left the istand without ever finding the lost people and his Family So what happened ta there?

Here's an example theory of what mighthave happened Work with 3 partner Think af upto four mare possible theories,

Despite decades of research, the mysterious Vaynich Manuseript

has still never been translated, The manuscript, which is generally

<considered to have been written some time between the 15th

‘and 17th centuries is written in a completely unknowa language

Itis named after Lithuanian bookseller Wilfrid M, Voynich, The

manuscriptis about the size of an ordinary book, seven by ten

inches {epproximately 16 by 23 cm), and nearly 235 pages thick tis

richlyitustrated with olourful scientific drawings These drawings,

in vibrant shades of blue, red, yellow, brawn, and green include

iWustrations of unidentified plants, mysterious charts and calendars,

astronomical objects (fr viewing stars), biological sketches, and what

appear to be herbal recipes

‘The manuscript frst appears in history in 1586 when itwas sold

to RudolfI of Bohemis Rudolf one of Europe's most eccentric

leaders, was known to have a great interest in astrology He was also

fascinated by musi, chemistry, puzzles, and codes The manuscriptis

said to have been sold to Rudolf for three hundred gold ducats {about

fourteen thousand dollars) which proves that it musthave been

considered extremely valuable,

Photocopiable © Oxford University Press 2010 The Voynich Manuscript When Voynich acquited the

manuscript ia 1912, he contacted 2 rhurnber of experts hoping that they would be able to decode it, However, despite all their effortsit has proved {ao difficult to translate The experts were left puzzled for various reasons

‘The language thatis uscd hasmever been seen before leis in aa alphabetic script, of approximately 19to 2Bletiers, but none af them relate to ary Eurapean letters Linguists believe that two different languages’ were used by more than one authar, but they cast discover who wrateit So where did iteome ftom?
