Korrekturlesen - dringend :)

Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich muss morgen mein Referat halten und habe meinen Text, denn ich sagen möchte nun fertig.
Kann ihn jemand überfliegen, und evtl.
verbessern?
Das wäre wirklich nett!

Today I want to talk about the Guy Fawkes Night. I decided this topic, because I think it’s a part of the History of Great Britain.
The Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night is an annual celebration in Great Britain, on or about fifth of November.
Four hundred years ago, in 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and a group of plotters attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, the place where the laws that governed England were made, with barrels of gunpowder placed in the basement. They wanted to kill King James and the king’s leaders.
Why did Guy Fawkes want to kill King James 1st and the king’s leaders?
When Queen Elizabeth 1st took the throne of England she made some laws against the Roman Catholics. Guy Fawkes was one of a small group of Catholics who felt that the government was treating Roman Catholics unfairly. They hoped that King James 1st would change the laws, but he didn`t.
Catholics had to practise their religion in secret. There were even fines for people who didn`t attend the Protestant church on Sunday or on holy days. James 1st passed more laws against the Catholics.

The plot was simple - the next time Parliament was opened by King James l, they would blow up everyone there with gunpowder. The men bought a house next door to the parliament building. The house had a cellar which went under the parliament building. They planned to put gunpowder under the house and blow up parliament and the king.

Guy Fawkes was given the job to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder and to light the fuse. On the morning of 5th November, soldiers discovered Guy hidden in the cellar and arrested him. The trail of gunpowder at his feet would never be lit
Guy Fawkes was taken to the Tower of London.
He was tortured and questioned about the other plotters. To start with he didn`t tell the soldiers anything about the plot. But, eventually he started to tell the truth.
Two months after the failed plot, were Guy Fawkes and the plotters executed.
In celebration of his survival, King James ordered that the people of England should have a great bonfire on the night on 5th November.
The annual opening of Parliament begins until today with the traditional inspection of the cellars below the House of Lords by the regent (currently Queen Elizabeth II).
This was my presentation about the Guy Fawkes Night. Thank you for your attention.
