E very year on 5th November, the anniversary () of the Gunpowder Plot («Порохового заговора»), Bonfire Night is ce lebrated all over the UK to show respect to the long British tra ditions of Parlia-mentary () democracy and the British Monar-chy . The history of this day goes back centuries. When Queen Elizabeth I (1533– 1603) took the throne of England in 1558, she made some laws against the Roman Catholics (). Guy Fawkes was one of a small group of Catholics who felt that the government was unfair to them. People hoped that King James I (from 1603) would change the laws, but he didn’t.There were even fines (штрафы) for people who didn’t at-tend (go to) the Protestant church on Sunday or on holy days. A group of men plotted to kill King James and blow up the Houses of Parliament, the place where the laws were made.The men bought a house next door to the parliament build-ing. The house had a cellar (подвал) which went under the par-liament building. The plotters planned to put gunpowder under the house and blow up parliament and the king. On the morning of 5th November 1605, soldiers discovered Guy Fawkes with gun-powder in the cellar and arrested him. He was questioned about the other plotters. At first, he didn’t tell the sol-diers anything about the plot, but later heIn celebration of his survival (), King James I or-dered that the people of England should have a great bonfire on the night of 5th November. The event is still commemorated annually (every year) in England on 5th November by burning “guys” (= effi gies ) on bonfires. As well as burning an effi-gy of Guy Fawkes, the bonfires are used to bake potatoes wrapped in foil1 and to warm up soup for the crowds that come to watch the fireworks. The traditional cake eaten on Bonfire Night is Parkin Cake, a sticky cake containing a mix of oatmeal, ginger, treacle, and syrup2. Other foods include sausages cooked over the flames and marshmallows3 toasted in the fire.On this night, people also enjoy fireworks display. Today only adults can buy them, but in the past they were sold to chil-dren, too. So during the days before Bonfire Night, children used to take their home-made guys out in the street and ask for “a penny for the Guy” to collect money and buy fireworks. сделай этот текст в размере 5 предложений, то есть напиши самое главное и на английском
