A History of the English-Speaking Peoples is
a four-volume history of the British stem of
the English-speaking people and the American branch,
written by Winston Churchill,
covering the period
from Caesar's invasions of Britain (55 BC)
to the beginning of the First World War (1914).
It started in 1937 and was finally published 1956–1958,
delayed several times due to war and his work on other texts.

At Churchill House, we have been helping students pass the Cambridge First Certificate in English since 1971.

Now we've taken some of that expertise and put it into a computer program - the Churchill House First Certificate Program.

The program is designed to give you special help with Paper 3 of the First Certificate exam, and in particular with the tricky Part 4 - error correction.

Churchill was an improbable hero for what was to be called “the century of the common man,” not only because he was personally so very uncommon, but because he was from an elite British family and was never closely in touch with “ordinary people” in Britain, let alone the rest of the world. Yet, to pigeonhole Churchill that way is misleading.
Winston Churchill was seen even in his own lifetime as a historic figure, one of the great men of world history, commemorated all across the world (but especially among the English-speaking peoples) in statues, memorials, streets and schools named after him, and in a plethora of stamps, medals, plates, and other such memorabilia.
