Слайд 3

This is Britain Great Britain has several different names. Some people say “ Britain”, or “the United Kingdom”, or just “U K”. There are four different countries in the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (see the map). Every from Britain is British, but only people from England are English. People from Scotland are Scottish, people from Wales are Welsh, and people from Northern Ireland are Irish. Don ‘t call a Scottish or Welsh person English. He won’ t like it.

Слайд 4

Languages Everyone in Britain speaks English. But in some parts of Scotland and Wales people speak an older language as well. The Welsh are especially proud of their language, and you can see road signs in Welsh all over Wales. Everyone speaks English, but they do not all speak it in the same way. A Scottish person has to listen carefully if he wants to understand a Londoner. And when a Welsh person speaks, everyone knows at once where he comes from!

Слайд 5

The Weather Many people think that the weather is cold and wet in Britain all the year round. But it isn’t! True, it sometimes rains and even snows for days and days. When it rains heavily, the British say “It’s raining cats and dogs”. But every year there are week s of beautiful and sunny weather when the British put on their bikinis and go out to sunbathe.

Слайд 6

Northern Ireland Britain is only a small country, but every part is different. Northern Ireland is marvelous. In the warm, wet climate, the grass grows a brilliant green. Irish poets call Ireland “the Emerald Isle”. The harp is among the chief symbols of Ireland.

Слайд 7

Scotland Scotland is a land of mountains, lakes and romantic castles. The winters are cold, with plenty of snow, but the summers are often warm and sunny. Most farmers keep sheep. Deer live in the hills, and the rivers are full of salmon and trout. In some parts of Scotland, there are very few people.

Слайд 8

Wales Wales is a special place, a country of high mountains and pretty valleys. The people of Wales are fond of folk music, singing, poetry and drama. Every year they have a festival of Welsh music and poetry called an “Eisteddfod”. The Welsh are known to have very nice voices which are well suited for choral singing.

England England is the largest, the most densely populated part of the UK. Each part of England is different. Lake District in Northern England with its lakes, mountains and valleys is a favorite holiday resort. The sea has always been important in the history of England. It was a good protection against the attacks of outside peoples.

Слайд 10

The history of London London has been a capital city for nearly a thousand years, and many of its ancient buildings still stand. Once, London was a small Roman town on the bank of the Thames, but slowly it grew into one of the world’s major cities. Different areas of London seem like different cities.

Слайд 11

Busy London Many people live outside the center of London in the suburbs, and they travel to work by train, bus or underground. Every day, nearly half a million office workers travel into the “City”, the business center of banks and offices. During “rush hours” the trains, buses and streets are crowded with people. By day the whole of London is busy. At night, the City is quiet and empty, but the West End stays alive, because this is where Londoners come to enjoy themselves.

Слайд 12

Red London Many people think that London is all grey, but in fact red is London’s favorite color. The buses are red, the letter boxes are red, and the mail vans are all bright, bright red. London is at its best when people are celebrating. Then the flags , the soldiers’ uniforms, the cheering crowds and carriages and horses all sparkle in the sunshine-if it’s not raining, of course!

Слайд 13

Edinburgh Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital, one of the most beautiful cities in Britain. The heart of Edinburgh is the thousand-year-old castle, where the kings of Scotland lived for centuries. Edinburgh has a busy cultural life. Every year, in S eptember, the international festival takes place. Musicians ,actors and singers come all over the world and thousands of visitors fill the city. The castle is at its best in Festival time. Every night there is a magnificent military “ Tattoo”. Highland soldiers wearing “kilts” play the bagpipes, and march to the music.

Слайд 14

Scottish tartans Tartans, the patterns of the kilts, have an interesting history. Since the fifteenth century, each Scottish family ( or “ clan” ) has won its own tartan as a kind of badge. It was a useful way of recognizing people, especially in times of war. Everybody in the clan had the same family name, like MacDonald or MacGregor (Mac means “son of”). The clan had its own territory and was ruled by a chieftain.

Слайд 15

Oxford and Cambridge Oxford and Cambridge are two oldest universities in England. Both of these university towns are very beautiful. They have some of the finest architecture in Britain. Some of their colleges, chapels and libraries are three, four and even five hundred years old, and are full of valuable books and precious paintings. Both towns have many lovely gardens, where the students can read and relax in the summer months. These universities are famous all over the world for their first class education. It is not easy to get a place a t the Universities to study for a degree.

Слайд 16

Stately homes Some of the aristocratic families of Britain still have a lot of money, and some live in magnificent “stately homes” build by their families hundreds of years ago. Most stately homes are filled with wonderful collections of paintings and furniture .A lot of the houses are open to the public now. In this way everyone can enjoy the great cultural treasures of the past.
