Pupil:

They dress in what they like

They are interested in sport

They take part in all activities

If they think they ought.

They all succeed in doing

Their work in five short days,

Which leaves them two the longest ones

To spend in different ways.

 Then some indulge in gardening,

Or walking in the rain.

 And some delight in cricket,

Or in riding in the plain.

 In spite of what's around him

The average Englishman

Does crosswords in the newspaper

In pencil - if he can.

 Involved in any accident

 The English take a pride

In being unemotional.

They take things in their stride

In any circumstances —

Whatever they may be —

The English solve their problems

With an English cup of tea.

Teacher. Thank you. If only it could be possible to solve all our problems with a cup of tea...

The greater part of the surface of England and Ireland is flat. The surface of Scotland and Wales is mountainous. The highest mountain in the United Kingdom is Ben Nevis in Scotland. The chief rivers can be used by ships. They have slow currents and broad mouths. So the rivers are suitable for commerce. The coastline has excellent harbours.

Pupil 1.

 London is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was built by the Romans. The Romans went to England about two thousand years ago. They built a town on the River Thames. The place for the town was very good. Soon the Romans built a bridge over the River Thames. The name of the town was Londinium. The Thames has always been part of London's history. Until 1749 there was only one London Bridge and it looked very strange. There were houses and shops on the bridge. Now there are 27 bridges over the Thames in London and 8 tunnels under the river. The Romans also built a lot of roads from Londinium to other parts of Britain. Londinium got bigger and bigger. By the year 400 there were fifty thousand people in the town. But soon the Romans left Britain.

Pupil 2.

 At the beginning of the 11th century England was already a big country and London was an important city. In 1066 William the Conqueror and his people went to England from Normandy in France. William the Conqueror became King of England. All Kings and Queens of England lived m London. It became the biggest city in England. By 1600 there were more than two  hundred

 thousand (200 000) people in London. Nowadays London has got more than 7 million people and that's 13% (per cent) of British population.

The date of the 2nd of September, 1666 is well-known to everybody who is interested in the history of the British capital. This is the date of the Great Fire in London. The fire burnt for four days and destroyed 80% of the city. More than 250 thousand people lost their homes. In 1666 most houses in London were built of wood and stood near one another. On Saturday, 2 September, a fire started in the house of the king's baker, near London Bridge. There was a strong wind from the river and soon the next house started burning and then the next and the next. Such was the beginning of the Great Fire of London. It burnt for 4 days until Thursday. After the Great fire people built a new city. By 1830 there were more than one and a half million people in London.

When William the Conqueror became the King of England he settled in London. Many of his people lived in London too. But William was afraid of the English who lived in London.
