The “Penny Black”, the first postage stamp issued in Britain and, more importantly, the first postage stamp issued anywhere, 【1】 the image of Queen Victoria, but the first British postal service didn’t originate in Victoria England. In 1860, William Dockwra started a public service that 【2】 the quick delivery of a letter anywhere in London. His system was quickly 【3】 with Dockwra in charge. It was far from a perfect system, 【4】 with seemingly improper charges that made it unreasonably expensive to send a letter. Worse still, recipients were expected to pay. As you might imagine, this 【5】 some problems—either people weren’t home or flat—out refused to pay. The system just didn’t work, but it remained in place for far too long.
About 50 years later, to do better, Rolland Hill argued for putting an end to the postal charges and replacing them with a single national rate of one penny, which would be paid by the sender. When the post office ignored Hill’s ideas, he self-published his essay and it quickly gained 【6】 among the public. Hill was then ordered by Postmaster General Lord Lichfield to discuss postal reform and ,during their subsequent meetings, the two men conceived of a gluy 【7】 that could be applied to the envelops to indicate payment. Though it had gained support with the public who longed for a affordably way to connect with distant friends and family, officials were still not convinced. Thankfully, Hill was far from alone in his passion for reform. He eventually earned enough support from other like-minded individuals to convince Parliament to 【8】 his system.
In 1839, Hill held a competition to design all the postal facility. The winning stamp 【9】 describing the young queen’s profile came from one William Wyon, who based the design on a medal he created to celebrate his first visit to London.
The“Penny Black”stamp went on sale on May 1, 1840. It was an immediate 【10】 Suddenly, the country seemed a lot smaller. The penny black’s design was so well received that it remained in use for forty year.

Poetry is a kind of writing in which the sound and meaning of groups of words express ideas or emotion in addition to the experiences or strong feelings the writer 【1】. Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it 【2】 to both emotions and senses.
Sound is 【3】the single most important aspect of any poem. The sound that any poem. The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each 【4】 word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this 【5】 pattern,or “beat,” in the sounds. This is called meter.
Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece. As far back as 700 BCE, poets there recited their work at public 【6】 and religious ceremonies, the great epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer came from Greece. The Greeks eventually 【7】 Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE. In medieval
times, poems such as Beowulf, The Divine Comedy by Dante, and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer were written. Religion and romance became the 【8】 of choice for many poets at that time.
Poetry【9】 even more during the Renaissance period of history, an era of many great cultural achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of 【10】 expression in modem times,
