VII. A. Read the text Scotland and discuss it (from Easy English № 13)

When we think about Scotland, what comes to our minds is the beautiful landscape of hills and moors surrounded by the North Sea and the Atlantic ocean. It is an extraordinary place where men wear tartan skirts and play the bagpipes. Scotland is also known for its Scotch Whisky and delicious salmon, a typical Scottish fish.

Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom and is situated in the north of the main British island and includes over 790 small islands. The mainland of Scotland comprises the northern third of the land mass of the island of Great Britain, which lies off the northwest coast of Continental Europe. Scotland's highest point is Ben Nevis, while Scotland's longest river, the River Tay, flows for a distance of 190 kilometres. There are numerous bodies of freshwater including Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. The most famous lake is called Loch Ness, where you can meet the very shy monster Nessie.

The climate of Scotland is temperate and oceanic, and tends to be very changeable. It is warmed by the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic, and as such has much milder winters (but cooler, wetter summers) than areas on similar latitudes. However, temperatures are generally lower than in the rest of the UK. In general, the west of Scotland is usually warmer than the east, owing to the influence of Atlantic ocean currents and the colder surface temperatures of the North Sea.

The main cities are Edinburgh and Glasgow. Edinburgh, the country's capital for almost 500 years and second largest city, is one of Europe's largest financial centres. Edinburgh is a cultural centre of Scotland.

One of the most characteristic things about Scots is their national garment, so called “tartan kilt”, that is a woolen checked skirt worn by men. Scottish music is a significant aspect of the nation's culture, with both traditional and modern influences. A famous traditional Scottish instrument is the Great Highland Bagpipe. Scottish literature includes text written in English, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, French, and Latin. The poet and songwriter Robert Burns wrote in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English. Similarly, the writings of Sir Walter Scott and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were internationally successful during the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Scottish theatre has for many years played an important role in Scottish society.

Scotland is also famous for its medieval castles like Edinburgh castle, which is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels. Another place worth visiting is the Palace of Holyrood, her Majesty the Queen’s official residence.

Scotland offers a wide range of attractions throughout the year. Whatever you need, Scotland has it all!

VII. B. Read the text Wales and then discuss it (from Easy English № 43)

Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It has a population of three million, and a total area of 20,779 km². Wales, lying in the western part of Great Britain, is a highland country of hard old rocks. Much of Wales' diverse landscape is mountainous, particularly in the north and central regions. The highest mountains in Wales are in Snowdonia, which contains Snowdon its highest peak.

Wales is a country of green forests and medieval villages. Wales is mainly rural, but there are several large cities such as Swansea and Cardiff. Such industries as coal-mining, steel production, electronics, electrical engineering are developed in Wales.

Wales lies within the north temperate zone, its changeable, maritime climate making it one of the wettest countries in Europe. Two-thirds of Wales' population live in south Wales, mainly in and around the cities of Cardiff, Swansea and Newport, and in the nearby valleys.

Today Welsh is taught either as a first or second language in every school in Wales. Modern Welsh literature has been written in both languages. The Welsh are fond of folk music, singing and poetry. The Welsh are very proud of their rich tradition and keep it alive in songs and dances.

Welsh is the mother tongue of a large number of people, but only about 20% of Welsh speak both Welsh and English. Wales is officially bilingual, the Welsh and English languages having equal status. Although football has traditionally been the more popular sport in north Wales, rugby union is seen as a symbol of Welsh identity.

Cardiff, Wales' capital is an industrial city and a port, the country's most populous city, with 317,500 residents, and for a period was the biggest coal port in the world. Today, with the country's traditional heavy industries (coal, steel, copper, tinplate and slate) either gone or in decline, Wales' economy depends on the public sector, light and service industries, and tourism.
