1. LISTENING
Britain and the British
The United Kingdom is a multinational country today, but its peoples make up a unity. They call
themselves British. Everyone who was born in Britain is British.
But don’t call a Welsh or Scottish person English! He won’t like it! Only people from England can be
called English. People from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland are not English. They are Scottish or the Scots,
Welsh and Irish.
More than 56 million people live in Britain. Many of them live in big industrial cities like London.
Manchester and Liverpool, for example, are the biggest industrial cities in the center of England. Other industrial
cities are Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield and others.
Such cities as Plymouth, Portsmouth and Liverpool are big ports, where many sailors and fishermen live.
Bristol is not a very large port. It is smaller than others, but it’s very beautiful because it’s a royal port.
Stratford-upon-Avon is a very interesting town and the birthplace of famous Shakespeare. There is a
church where he is buried.
Everyone in Britain speaks English. But in some parts of Scotland and Wales people speak different
languages as well. The Welsh are especially proud of their language. They like to speak Welsh, to sing songs in
Welsh, and when you travel you can see road signs in Welsh all over Wales.
Everyone in the UK speaks English but they all speak it differently. A Scottish person has to listen
carefully if he wants to understand a Londoner or a Welsh person.
