Mrs Sallibartan's English ressources

After a long night of votes being counted, it's still not clear who will be in charge of the UK.

The Conservative party, led by David Cameron, have the most votes but it's not enough for them to have an overall majority.

It means there is now something called a 'hung parliament', none of the three main parties are fully in charge and two of the parties will have to join forces to make laws. 

Do you know what this picture represents and the title of the person who works there?

Most of the British electricity comes from huge power stations across the UK.

They're mainly powered by coal or oil, but there are many other ways of producing power.

A reporter from the BBC went to Edinburgh in Scotland where experts are developing a new cleaner method of making electricity - using the power of the sea.

They've been nicknamed 'sea snakes' because they're really long and winding and they create electricity from the ocean's waves.

Politicians there have given the go ahead to launch a number of power stations that sit on sea.

A collection of giant metal tubes sit on the surface of the water, and as the waves hit them, they move up and down.

That movement is converted into electricity which is sent back to shore through large cables that sit on the surface of the seabed.

The project is still in its early stages, with engineers in Edinburgh putting the final touches to the wave machines before they are sent out to work in the North Sea.

Once they're in place, experts reckon each wave machine could generate enough power to run 500 homes.

He even managed to walk inside one of the giant metal tubes which was really bizarre.

Inside the wave machine it was really dark and all he could hear was the echo of my voice.

There were lots of computers and wires all over the place and he had to be really careful wherever I stood.

Filming down there was pretty tough, but it was SO exciting to see how the power of the ocean could one day produce lots of electricity that will eventually be used by us in our homes in dry land.

What about you? How are you going to celebrate it?

Are you going to offer some lily of the valley?

It has sent huge clouds of volcanic ash into the air, which has meant hundreds of flights have been cancelled because it's too dangerous to fly.

The eruption, under a glacier in the Eyjafjallajoekull area of Iceland, is the second there in less than a month.

The ash contains tiny bits of rock, glass and sand which could jam aircraft engines.
