20 1 2E li zabeth II(ElizabethAlexandra Mary;born 21 April1926)
istheconstitutionalmonarch of 16
sovereign states
known a s theCommonwealth. On her accession in 1952,
she became Head of the Commonwealthand Queen regent of several independent
Commonwealthcountries,
includingCanada, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. This year
marks her Diamond Jubilee of 60 years on
the English throne.
In 1947, she married Prince Phillip,
Duke of Edinburgh and has four children:
Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. Her
coronation took place in 1953.
Major events in the Queen's life include
the involvement of the United Kingdom innumerous wars, including the Troubles inNorthern Ireland, the Korean War, theFalkland Islands War, wars with Iraq and
the War in Afghanistan. There have beentimes of personal grief which include theearly loss of her father, the assassination ofLord Mountbatten, the breakdown of herchildren's marriages in 1992 (a year thatshe deemed annus horribilis), the death in1997 of her daughter-in-law Diana,
Princess of Wales, and the deaths of her
mother and sister in 2002. The Queen has
at times faced severe criticism from thepress, and republican sentiments, both in
theUnited
Kingdom
andotherCommonwealthcountries,
but
herpopularity still remains high.

Since Elizabeth rarely gives interviews, little
is known of her personal feelings, she has not
expressed her own political opinions in public.
She is Supreme Governor of the established
Church of England, and worships with thatchurch.
Regarding her wealth, in 1993, official

LA, USA
Buckingham
Palacecalled estimates of£100 million "grossly overstated" however in 2010,
Forbes magazine estimated her net worth ataround US$450 million. The Royal Collection,
which includes artworks and the Crown Jewels,
are not owned by the Queen personally and areheld in trust, as are Buckingham Palace andWindsor Castle, and the Duchy of Lancaster, aproperty portfolio valued at £383 million in 2011.
Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle areprivately owned by the Queen. The British Crown
Estate – with holdings of £7.3 billion in 2011, isheld in trust for the nation (England), and,unluckily for her, cannot be sold or owned byElizabeth in a private capacity.

Matthew Says: This month my mind is purely on football. Euro 2012
starts on Friday (8th) and I am very excited. Of course England is
rubbish and boring but the whole tournament should be quite exciting. I
enjoyed a great “warm-up” by watching Japan beat Oman 3-0 in what
was a very good attacking display by the Japanese. Great stuff!

Craig Says: Hello everyone! I arrived in Matsuyama just a few
days ago. On first impressions, it seems a lovely place, very
friendly and quite lively! The weather is a little sticky at themoment and I have been warned that this will get worse. Whatis your favourite month for weather in Ehime?

From In(b)1’s Masako Kubota:

I have two rabbits.
They were born four years ago in Sekigawa Elementary school in Sikokuchou
City.In 2008 they were taken to Sakura Elementary school by Miss. Takechi. They werenamed Siro and Mimi by the students. Many students who liked rabbits came to see and holdhem They. ran away because they don’t like children.
Sometimes, I had to take them to the Vet. Two years ago, I started to keep them in my house because
they are too frail to be left in the care of the other teachers.
Siro has blue eyes. He suffers from an eye illness and I have to apply medicine to his eyes twice aday. Mimi has brown eyes. He often has the runs, so I give him grains of lactic acid bacilli every day.

MunichHe tends to wee when I look at him. They are both very tame with me. Would you keep a rabbit?
* If you’d like to feature your pet on this page, just ask your teacher to arrange it for you.
