Au Moyen Âge (in the Middle Ages), les seigneurs vivaient dans des châteaux forts (castles). Autour, il y avait des douves (a moat) remplies d'eau. Pour entrer, on passait sur le pont-levis (the drawbridge). En haut des tours (towers), les soldats se cachaient derrière les créneaux (battlements). En bas, le cachot (the dungeon), et au centre la grande salle (the great hall) pour les banquets. Pour décrire : There is a moat. There are four towers.
