Britain's favourite family, the Beckhams, are now in Paris. David and Victoria are famous for sport, music and fashion, but their kids have talents too. Here is their story...
Britains loves: David Beckham. He is a famous football player who has played for the world's biggest clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and now Paris Saing Germain. He also played for his country, England, for a record 115 games and scored 17 times. David is married to Victoria Beckham who was a singer in the successful girl group from the 1990s: the Spice Girls. Her nickname was Posh Spice!
Everyone watched: When David and Victoria got married in 1999. The wedding was in a castle in Ireland and was inspired by fairytales. The couple had thrones, just like a king and queen, and they sold the photos to a magazine for 1 million.
Children are precious: In the Beckham family. Victoria had the couple's first child, Brooklyn, in 1999. They have had two more sons, Romeo, age 11, and Cruz, age 8, and also a daughter, Harper Seven, who was born in 2011.
King and Queen of style: Are what the press call David and Victoria Beckham. In 2008, David became a top model for an Italian label, and has made lots of adverts... often in his underpants! Victoria has become a big name in fashion too: stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron love her creations and wore her dresses at the Oscars.
Hollywood has been home: For the Beckham family since 2007. David went to play for the club LA Galaxy and when they arrived, they became friends with stars like Tom Cruise. Now they have a 16 million euro house in an exclusive area of Beverly Hills. The couple's estimated fortune is 220 million euros!
Ambassador for Unicef: Is one of David's jobs. He and Victoria work with AIDS charities and support children in Africa. When David moved to Paris Saint Germain in 2013, he decided to give all of his wages to a children's charity.
Mum and dad are great examples: For the Beckham children. This year Romeo became a model for a big British fashion label. Brooklyn also had a trial for the youth team at Chelsea football club. So the question is, will the new generation of Beckhams be famous for sport or fashion? If they have their parents' talents, they can do it all!

I notice that there was a person trapped and the waves were very strong to be able to rescue me alone. It took 1 hour to find us, but we finally got together. We suffered, we thought the current would throw us to the bottom and die. But finally everything ended well

ROBIN HOOD!!
Robin Hood (spelled Robyn Hode in older manuscripts) is a heroic outlaw in English folklore, a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Although not part of his original character, since the beginning of the 19th century he has become known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor",assisted by a group of fellow outlaws known as his "Merry Men".Traditionally, Robin Hood and his men are depicted wearing Lincoln green clothes.The origin of the legend is claimed by some to have stemmed from actual outlaws, or from ballads or tales of outlaws.
Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the medieval period continuing through to modern literature, films and television. In the earliest sources, Robin Hood is a yeoman, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat wrongfully dispossessed of his lands and made into an outlaw by an unscrupulous sheriff.

HALLOWEEN FILMS: Twilight
"Twilight is a series of four vampire-themed fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. It charts a period in the life of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a teenage girl who moves to Forks, Washington, and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Jacob Black is also in love with Bella, and Bella wants to admit it or not it also a little to east. Personally I think it's awesome movie and make it seem very realistic, but we all know that is not so."
Isabella "Bella" Swan–
The protagonist of the series, teenager Bella is a perpetually clumsy
"danger magnet" with dark brown hair and brown eyes. She is often
portrayed as having low self-esteem and unable to comprehend Edward's
love for her. She has an immunity to supernatural abilities involving
the mind, such as Edward's mind-reading ability. After her
transformation into a vampire in the saga's fourth installment, Bella
acquires the ability to shield both herself and others from "mental
harm" from other vampires.
Edward Cullen– Edward is a vampire who lives with a coven of like-minded vampires known as the Cullen family, who feed on animals rather than humans. Over the course of the Twilight series, Edward falls in love with, marries, and then has a child with Bella. At first, Edward feels a mutual hatred toward Jacob Black because of his love for Bella, but in Breaking Dawn, he comes to see Jacob as a brother and friend. Like some vampires, Edward has a supernatural ability: mind reading. It allows him to read anyone's thoughts within a few miles' radius. Bella is immune to his power as a human, but learns how to lower this "shield" after her transformation to a vampire.
Jacob Black– A minor character in the first novel, Jacob is introduced as a member of the Quileute tribe. He resurfaces in New Moon with a larger role as Bella's best friend as she struggles through her depression over losing Edward. Although he is in love with Bella, she initially sees him as just her best friend. He and other tribe members can shape-shift into wolves. In Eclipse Bella realizes that she loves Jacob, though her feelings for him are overpowered by her love for Edward Cullen. In Breaking Dawn, Jacob finds a soul mate in Bella and Edward's baby daughter, Renesmee, ridding him of his heartache for Bella.
