Heritage is Great Part 1
Britain has a great heritage. It has some of
the finest historic buildings in the world.
Palaces, castles and museums bursting
with tradition and history… there’s just so
much to see and do.
Around 30 million people visit Britain every
year from overseas.
Three of the top five museums and galleries
in the world can be found here.
There are 14 Roman walled cities, 8
heritage cities and hundreds of castles.
In London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace
and Tower Bridge are just some of the
places to visit, but how to fit it all in? I’ll
show you.
Now, one way to see the sights is to hop on
and hop off an open top London bus. Now,
most buses go from A to B, but this one is
special. This is a Big Bus tour bus and is a
great way to see the city.
The Houses of Parliament, one of the
largest parliament buildings in the world.
This is Regent Street, which was built in the
1800s. The street itself separated Mayfair,
which was an upper class area, with Soho,
over there, which was a working class area.
Benedict Protheroe is a tour guide.
Richard: So in your opinion then, what is it
about London that overseas visitors just
absolutely love?
Benedict: Well, in London, we have over
2,000 years of fascinating history. It's a
centre for art, for culture, for music, for
fashion, there's restaurants, nightlife,
museums, the river. Everything you could
possibly want to see or do, you've got it
here in London.
The River Thames cuts through the heart of
the city. At over 200 miles long, it’s the
longest river entirely in England.
The iconic London Eye sits next to the
Thames. 135 metres high, the Eye was built
to celebrate the millennium and has over
three and a half million visitors a year.
The city of London’s financial district
dominates the skyline. The buildings include
30 St Mary Axe, otherwise known as the
London Gherkin.
Historic houses look really grand, but what
would it have been like to have lived
hundreds of years ago?
I’ve come to Warwick Castle to find out.
Let’s step back in time… It's still me!
This castle dates back almost eleven
hundred years to William the Conqueror.
Very nice!
Edward the Fourth was imprisoned here in
the 1400s and Royalist soldiers attacked
Warwick during the English civil war. Some
royal visitors have been more welcome.
Elizabeth the First and Queen Victoria both
spent time here, so I’m in good company.
What a beautiful view... Who turned the
lights out?
Adam is the Attractions and Shows team
leader.
Richard: Adam, what have you come
dressed as?

Adam: Oh, well, today, Richard, I've come
dressed in my finest 1620s gear, about
what a gentleman would wear about 400
years ago.
Richard: And I love my outfit. What have
you got me dressed as?
Adam: Well, I've got you dressed as a man
at arms of the 15th Century, so you're not
as wealthy as me, but you still look quite
mean and gnarly.
Richard: Cool, good man. Now, tell me
about Warwick Castle.
Adam: Well, here at Warwick castle, we
have over one thousand years of incredible
jaw-dropping history. The oldest part of the
castle goes back well over a thousand
years, but what you see here today, Rich,
mostly dates back to about 600 years ago
and it pretty much remains untouched from
then onwards till today.
Richard: So, what would it have been like
to live here in medieval times?
Adam: Well, it would probably have been
quite a smelly and dark place. The moats
that you see down here would have actually
not been filled with water, but with sewage
draining from the castle.
Richard: Now, I was rather hoping
someone would tell me how to use this
sword. Do you mind?
Adam: Sadly, I'll be honest with you, it's not
really my thing. But I know two gentlemen
who will be able to help you out. They’re
just round the corner.
Richard: Over there?
Adam: Yep. Just round there. Good luck!
Richard: Great! Thank you. What a helpful
chap!
Richard: Guys, guys, guys, guys! Hang on
guys, break it up, break it up! I've just been
told that you're the guys to see about
learning to use the sword. Can you show
me a move?
Swordsman: Yes, of course. Well, first of
all we need to get you in your on guard
stance.
Richard: OK.
Swordsman: Put your left foot forwards and
your right foot back turned out to the side
and your sword up in front of you like this.
Now what you're going to do is the attacking
sword is going to come in, you're going to
push it down and away and step in and cut.
Richard: No problem.
Swordsman: Think you can do that?
Richard: Step aside my man. Here we go.
Swordsman: On guard!
Richard: That's quite easy. Very nice.
Thanks very much! Is he going to be
alright?
Swordsman: Oh, he'll be fine, don't worry.
Richard: Are you sure?

  • 1. Heritage is Great Transcript – Part 1 http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/britain-great-video-clips/heritage-great-part-1 © The British Council, 2012 Page 1 of 2 The United Kingdom’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. We are registered in England as a charity. Heritage is Great Part 1 Britain has a great heritage. It has some of the finest historic buildings in the world. Palaces, castles and museums bursting with tradition and history… there’s just so much to see and do. Around 30 million people visit Britain every year from overseas. Three of the top five museums and galleries in the world can be found here. There are 14 Roman walled cities, 8 heritage cities and hundreds of castles. In London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge are just some of the places to visit, but how to fit it all in? I’ll show you. Now, one way to see the sights is to hop on and hop off an open top London bus. Now, most buses go from A to B, but this one is special. This is a Big Bus tour bus and is a great way to see the city. The Houses of Parliament, one of the largest parliament buildings in the world. This is Regent Street, which was built in the 1800s. The street itself separated Mayfair, which was an upper class area, with Soho, over there, which was a working class area. Benedict Protheroe is a tour guide. Richard: So in your opinion then, what is it about London that overseas visitors just absolutely love? Benedict: Well, in London, we have over 2,000 years of fascinating history. It's a centre for art, for culture, for music, for fashion, there's restaurants, nightlife, museums, the river. Everything you could possibly want to see or do, you've got it here in London. The River Thames cuts through the heart of the city. At over 200 miles long, it’s the longest river entirely in England. The iconic London Eye sits next to the Thames. 135 metres high, the Eye was built to celebrate the millennium and has over three and a half million visitors a year. The city of London’s financial district dominates the skyline. The buildings include 30 St Mary Axe, otherwise known as the London Gherkin. Historic houses look really grand, but what would it have been like to have lived hundreds of years ago? I’ve come to Warwick Castle to find out. Let’s step back in time… It's still me! This castle dates back almost eleven hundred years to William the Conqueror. Very nice! Edward the Fourth was imprisoned here in the 1400s and Royalist soldiers attacked Warwick during the English civil war. Some royal visitors have been more welcome. Elizabeth the First and Queen Victoria both spent time here, so I’m in good company. What a beautiful view... Who turned the lights out? Adam is the Attractions and Shows team leader. Richard: Adam, what have you come dressed as? w w w .britishcouncil.org/learnenglish

Richard: And I love my outfit. What have you got me dressed as? Adam: Well, I've got you dressed as a man at arms of the 15th Century, so you're not as wealthy as me, but you still look quite mean and gnarly. Richard: Cool, good man. Now, tell me about Warwick Castle. Adam: Well, here at Warwick castle, we have over one thousand years of incredible jaw-dropping history. The oldest part of the castle goes back well over a thousand years, but what you see here today, Rich, mostly dates back to about 600 years ago and it pretty much remains untouched from then onwards till today. Richard: So, what would it have been like to live here in medieval times? Adam: Well, it would probably have been quite a smelly and dark place. The moats that you see down here would have actually not been filled with water, but with sewage draining from the castle. Richard: Now, I was rather hoping someone would tell me how to use this sword. Do you mind? Adam: Sadly, I'll be honest with you, it's not really my thing. But I know two gentlemen who will be able to help you out. They’re just round the corner. Richard: Over there? Adam: Yep. Just round there. Good luck! Richard: Great! Thank you. What a helpful chap! Richard: Guys, guys, guys, guys! Hang on guys, break it up, break it up! I've just been told that you're the guys to see about learning to use the sword. Can you show me a move? Swordsman: Yes, of course. Well, first of all we need to get you in your on guard stance. Richard: OK. Swordsman: Put your left foot forwards and your right foot back turned out to the side and your sword up in front of you like this. Now what you're going to do is the attacking sword is going to come in, you're going to push it down and away and step in and cut. Richard: No problem. Swordsman: Think you can do that? Richard: Step aside my man. Here we go. Swordsman: On guard! Richard: That's quite easy. Very nice. Thanks very much! Is he going to be alright? Swordsman: Oh, he'll be fine, don't worry. Richard: Are you sure? w w w .britishcouncil.org/learnenglish
