Презентация к межрайонному открытому внеклассному мероприятию "Выдающиеся личности страны изучаемого языка" Diana

Great Britain is so rich in people famous all over the world and everyone is worth being spoken about.

But there was a lady in the history of the country who won the hearts and minds of all people in the whole world.

I’d like to present Diana Spencer, the People's Princess.

Diana Spencer was born on the first of July 1961 in England.

Her parents were from aristocratic families and were relatives of a royal dynasty. She had two older sisters and a younger brother.

In childhood she liked games, swimming, running and dancing. At the age of 7 Diana was sent to the private school. She dreamt of being a ballerina, but, then she had to give up this idea because she was too tall for that.

When she was 16 she left for Switzerland and finished school there. Having returned, she lived with her friends in London, earning as a cook or a nanny, and then found the job of a teacher in a kindergarten.

Diana became princess, when Prince Charles, the Queen's son, asked her to be his wife and they got married. They seemed to be a happy couple at first. They travelled a lot they worked a lot, they visited many countries together.

In June, 1982 the Princess of Wales gave birth to her first son, Prince William, and in September, 1984 she gave birth to her second child Prince Henry. The Royal family hoped that with birth of the sons peace would reign in the family.But Diana was not quite happy because they did different things and Charles didn't understand her.

She was a kind woman. Hundreds of people talked about Diana's kindnesses. She liked ordinary people, though she was rich and had many rich friends(Rock stars (Sting, Elton John), pop singer George Michael, film stars and producers (Tom Hanks, Steven Spilberg, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise).

Wherever she was, she was always ready to lend a hand. She was devoted to the sick and the poor. She visited hospitals for people with AIDS and for lepers and wasn't afraid to touch them, talk to them, listen to them.

She worked on children's charities, and had teamed up with Hillary Clinton in an effort to ban landmines. And it's not only money, that she wanted to give people. She wanted to give them a part of her soul, to make them happy because she was unhappy herself.

On August 31, 1997 Princess Diana was killed in a car accident together with her friend. Diana's death was a great tragedy and loss for the whole British nation. In her life she did a lot of charity all over the world and became the most popular and beloved figure of the royal family and  her death is still full of mysteries.

While looking for information about Diana, I used a number of resources…
