conquered Britain. Two thousand years ago the Celts were living
in tribes. Roman society differed greatly from that of the Celts.
It was a slave society divided into antagonistic classes, the
slaves and the slaveowners. One of the last countries to be
conquered by Rome was France, or Gaul. The war against the
Gauls, who were Celtic tribes, lasted for eight years. ln the
course of his campaigns Caesar reached the Channel. ln a
F-

South-East. Other parts of the country were taken from rbj
time to time during the next 40 years. Straight roads were *;t
built for the legions to march quickly. They can still be
found in Britain today.
The civilized Romans were city dwellers and they
began to build towns, splendid villages (York,
Gloucester, Lincoln, London). The Roman towns were
military stations surrounded by walls for defence
which were guarded by the Roman warriors. Among the
Celts inequality began to grow the tribal chiefs and
nobility became richer than other members of the tribe. -
The noble Celts adopted the mode of life of their conquerors.
They lived in rich houses and dressed like Romans.
ln the 3rd-4th centuries the power of the Roman Empire

THE ANGTO.SAXON CONQUEST OF BRITAIN
(ith - llth cent.)
After the Roman legions left Britain the Celts remained
independent but not for long. From the middle of the 5th century
they had to defend the country against the attacks of the
Germanic tribes from the Continent. ln the Sth century first the
Jutes and then other Germanic tribes, the Saxons and the
Angles, began to migrate to Britain. ln 449 the Jutes landed in
Kent and that was the beginning of the conquest. The British
natrves fought fiercely against the invaders and it took more
than a hundred and fifty years for the Angles, the
Saxons and the Jutes to conquer the country. The new conquerors brought about
changes. They disliked towns preferring to live in small villages. They destroyed the
Roman towns and villages. The roads were broken. The Jutes, the Saxons and the
Angles were closely alike in speech and customs and they gradually merged into
one people. They called the Celts <welsh> which means <foreigners) as they did not
understand the Celtic language. The Anglo-Saxon villages were small. Nearly all the
villagers were engaged in cultivating the land.
Corn was grown on the arable land
- that is ploughed land. They used the two-
field system (the land was given a rest every second year). The plough was made of
wood covered with iron. Besides arable-farming, they continued cattle-breeding,
hunting and fishing. There was very little trading at that time. Roads were very poor.
Thus, natural economy predominated in Britain in early medieval times. By the beginning
of the 9th century changes had taken place in Anglo-Saxon society. Rich landowners
were given great power over the peasants. The king's warriors and officials held more
land and they ruled the country.

1. when did the Germanic fribes (the Angto-saxons,) invade Britain?
2. Where did the Germanic tribes come from?
3. What changes did the new conquerors bring to Britain?
4. What was the fate of the Celts?

As soon as the Britons were left to themselves, they had very little peace for many
years. Searovers came sailing in ships from other countries, and the Britons were always
ousy trying to defend themselves. Among these invaders were some Germanic tribes
called Angles, Saxons and Jutes (who lived in the northern and central parts of Europe).
They spoke different dialects of the West Germanic
language from which modern English developed. A wild and
fearless race, they came in hordes from over the North Sea
and, try as they might, the Britons could never drive them
away. And many a battle was fought by the Britons until at
last they were forced to retreat to the west of Britain: to
Wales, Cornwall and Strathclyde. Those who ventured to
stay became the slaves of the invaders and were forced to
adopt many of their customs and learn to speak their
languages.

Who were those Normans who conquered England? They
were Vikings or "Northmen". men from the North. Some 150 F.
years before the conquesi oi England they came to a part
of France, opposite Errgland the
T >XAYX part which we nov/ cali Normandy.
There they adopted the French
language of their new home in
France. They became French.
What did the Norman Conquest do to England? lt gave Engtand
French kings and nobles. The Normans also brought with them
the French language. After the Norman Conquest there were three
languages in England. There was Latin, the language of Church
and the language in which all learned men wrote and spoke, the
kings wrote their laws in Latin for some time after the Conquest.
Then there was French, the language which the kings and nobles
spoke and which many people wrote. Finally, there was the English language which remained
the language of the masses. Son're men knew all these languages, many knew two, but most
of the people knew only one. There were some people who understood the French language
though they could not speak it. Rich people who owned land the landowners, often knew
French and Latin. But poor people, the peasants, did not -understand French and Latin.
They understood only English.
ln time, however, came the general use of the English language. About
1350 English became the language of law.
But the English language when it came into general use was not quite
the same as it used to be before the conquest. The grammar remained,
but many words came into English from the French language.

GENERAL FACTS ABOUT THE BRITISH
'SIES
The British lsles consist of two large islands, Great
Britain and lreland, and more than 5,000 smaller
islands.
The British lsles are divided into two independent
states: the U nited Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern lreland and the Republic of lreland (the lrish
Republic).
Britain or Great Britain is England, Scotland and
Wales. Northern lreland is sometimes called the
province of Ulster. lt also belongs to Great Britain.
The Republic of lreland is southern lreland. lt is
independent and has its own government in Dublin,
the capital of the republic.
London is the capital of the United Kingdom or
3ritain. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. Cardiff of
.'/ales and Belfast of Northern lreland.
Great Britain can be divided Into two parts: lowland I-.i
3ritain and highland Britain. Lowland Britain is in the ffi
&*
south-east and highland Britain is in the north-west. v
-he Highlands of Scotland are the highest mountains
r the British lsles. The highest peak in the Hightands
s Ben Nevis (1,343 m.). Snowdown is the highest
-nountain in Wales. Lowland Britain is a rich plain. so
-ihere
are many hills there, but they are never higher than 300 m. &.-
British rivers are not very long but they are deep. Big ships can enter ports at some lr !
:istance from the coast. ln the south of England the Thames (336 km.) is navigable LL
L3
'cr big ships as far as the city of London.
Lakes are found in the Lake District in England and in the Highlands of Scotland,
,r'here they are called lochs. Loch Ness, which is one of the largest lakes in Scotland,
s famous for the "Loch Ness monster". ln Great Britain there are about 4,000 km. of
-,avigable canals.
Woods make up only about B per cent of the territory of Britain. At one time oak forests
:overed the greater part of lowland Britain, but there are only a few oak forests left.
Britain is very rich in coal. Natural gas and oil have been
discovered in the British sector of the North Sea.
Britain has mild winters, not very hot summers and a lot of
rain all the year round. The mild climate is due to the warm
Gulf Stream flowing from the Gulf of Mexico to western Europe.
The population of the United Kingdom in 1990 was more
than 57,41'1 million. About 20 per cent of the British people
are rural dwellers, but only 10 per cent really live in the
country. About 40 per cent of the British people live in urban
areas, whose centres are the cities of London, Glasgow,
Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford and New-
castle-on-Tyne.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
The government in Britain is divided into three
sections, the elected House of Commons, the non-
elected House of Lords and the hereditary monarch.
The UK is divided into 650 areas called
constituencies. Each constituency elects one person
to represent them in the House of Commons. These
people, or candidates, can be any British person
except for a few cases. The candidate usually
represents a political party for example the
Conservative (Tory) Party, Labour, Liberal, Green
(Ecology) or Nationalist parties. The candidate with
the most votes, even if it is less than 50 %, represents their
constituency as the member of parliament (M.P.) for the period of
trme up until the next general election, anything up to five years
later.
lf one party has 326 or more seats then they form the
government. the leader of the party becomes the prime minister
and he or she chooses 20 members of their party to form the
cabinet. Each member of the cabinet is responsible for one area
of the government, for example, the minister for the environment,
the minister for health or the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(finance),
These ministers are responsible for their department in the
civil service rvho are the people who tell ministers any information they need to know and
any decisions which need to be made. The civil service workers do not work for a particular
political party but represent the government no matter which party it is formed from. Most
civil service workers have been privately educated and attended Oxbridge universities. The
House of Lords has around two to three hundred active members. They are not paid for
their political work but merely debate a decision taken in parliament and suggest any
changes to a bill which they consider necessary before sending it to the monarch to be
signed. The monarch can refuse to sign a bill as they see fit but has not done so for over
two hundred years.
Along with the national government, there is also a local government system for each of
the 55 administrative regions known as counties. This local government is responsible for
the roads, schools, hospitals and so on for their own county.
Some people in Britain think that the election system is unfair and should be changed
but neither the Conservative nor the Labour parties (the two largest) have any wish to
change the system at the moment.

to wear a uniform; often this consists of dark shoes, dark trousers or skirt, a white shirt.
school tie and the school blazer with the school badge on the pocket. Many schools also
have a discipline system to punish low standards of work or unacceptable behaviour and
a commendation system to praise high standards of work.
University or tertiary education. After completing "A" level exams, many British students
attend universities. Often a student will attend a university many kilometres from their
family home. ln their first year they may live in Halls of Residence and in subsequent
years they will often live with their friends in a shared house. Students study one
subject
but often take one or two shorter courses in associated subjects. For example a physics
student may take a maths or computing course as well.
First year students are nicknamed "freshers" as they are fresh from home and must
often learn to cook for themselves and handle their own finances. British students enjoy
independent lrves at uni. They are free to pursue their own studies and hobbies. Students
normally study for three or four years before being awarded a "Bachelor's" degree.

SPORT IN BRITAIN
As the climate in Britain is favourable, sport can be played all year round; both
indoors and out!
The most popular sport is football which is played at all levels, from children playing
in the streets or parks, right up to top international players. Many people play for local
clubs or for teams from their work places; however Saturday is the big day for the
professionals to play. Some of the stadia, such as Old Trafford (Manchester), Groodison
Park (Everton) and Highburg (Arsenal) are massive and hold between 60 and'l0C
thousand people. These are always packed on Saturdays.
Over eighty professional teams play
each week. The best teams are arranged
in leagues of 20 at a time. Each team
plays all the others both at home and
away. They score points if they win or
draw. At the end of the season, which
runs from autumn through to spring, the
team with the most points wins the league
cup. The other major football trophy is
the F.A. Cup which is won in a knockout
competition. Most school children, and
even some parents, are avid fans of their
favourite team.
Cricket is played for six months from spring to the autumn. Although this is a national
3ame, it is not as popular as football. The rules are very compliCated, indeed most
3ritish people are not aware of them all. The idea of the game is quite simple. One
:eam sends people to the wicket (in the centre of a field), with bats, the other team
bowls (a special throw) the ball to them to get them "out,,. A popular cry on the pitch
s "Ouzatt" [ "auzat] which means is the batter in or out. There is an organised league
r the summer between the best counties in the country and international games are \t-
clayed between England, lndia, Sri Lanka, West lndia, Australia and New Zealand each at
summer. i-
There are two types of rugby in Britain. They both originated at Rugby School, a 2
'amous public school in the city of the same name. Rugby union is the game that many (e
t"-
school children learn. lt has 15 players on each side and is non-professional. The game
at Rugby League is professional with teams all over the country competing for the telgue 6
:rophy. Wlgan, St. Helens, Leeds, Widnes and Warrington are some of the most famous t-
:eams in the League. <r
tr.l
As well as having English, Scottish, Welsh and lrish teams, there is also a Union team
'cr Britain, called the British Lions. (3
These are the most popular sports in Britain; however British people play many other
sports, including hockey, ice hockey, bowls, croquet; which is played on a tawn by
<nocking balls through metal hoops. Lacrosse, a French game is similar to hockey.
Hurling, an lrish game played also in Scotland which is also similar to hockey.
Curling, a winter sport in Scotland when men throw heavy pucks along special sheets
:f ice. Tennis is very popular in the summer both indoors and out. The most famous
:ennis competition in the world is held at Wimbledon in South London each summer.
British people also enjoy many unusual sports such as walking, climbing, parachuting,
:anoeing, potholing and BASE jumping; this involves jumping from high buitdings or
:ridges or antennae with the aid of a parachute.
Scotland is said to be the home of British golf as there are many beautiful courses
: cng the rugged coastline. St. Andrew's is perhaps the most famous golf course in
:-e world.

After the church service, the families return home to an enormous Christmas dinner.
This meal usually consists of a large goose or piece of beef which is roasted in the oven
with Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes and mashed potatoes.
This meal is usually followed by Christmas pudding, a rich dark plum pudding. The meal
usually lasts many hours and often it is accompanied by fine wine and the pulling of
crackers.
After Christmas dinner families generally watch the Queen's speech on television.
This is always at 3.00 o'clock on BBC 1.
At tea time not a lot is eaten, but the specialties for tea are mince pies made from
sweet mincemeat, a mixture of dry fruits. followed by Christmas cake. This-is a rich fruit
cake which is soaked with wrne and decorated with lettering or pictures. The evening
is mostly spent relaxing and playing games.
Boxing Day. The origin of the name Boxrng Day" has two possibilities. The first is
that this is the day that'alms boxes'. these are boxes rn church where people place
money or gifts of food, are distributed to old people or to poor people.
The second proposal is that this is a day for sport. either horse racing, football matches
or boxing, hence the name. At any event this is a day for visiting friends or relatives
and celebrating wlth them. Along with Christmas Day this is a national holiday.
The twelve days of Christmas. The Christmas holiday is said to last for twelve days

STRATFORD.ON.AVON
April 23 is Shakespeare's birthday and is
also the day he died. Both events occured
at Stratford-on-Avon, a small town in the
centre of England. There are no mountains
or deep valleys near Stratford, but there are
beautiful woods, green fields, a quiet gentle
river the winding Avon and lovel,
- -
houses, black and white with thatched roofs
The first place visitors go to in Stratford is
Shakespeare's birthplace, a small house wit-
small rooms in the centre of the town. Here
they can see the very room where
Shakespeare was born. Some people whc
had visited the house had written their names on the walls. lt seems a wrong thing tc
do, but among the names are Walter Scott, Dickens and Thackeray.
ln one room there is a little wooden desk, the very desk that Shakespeare sat at whe-
he went to the grammar school in Stratford. Behind the house, there is a garden. Her:
the visitors can see all the flowers, trees and plants that are mentioned in Shakespeare s
plays.
When Shakespeare became successful in London, he bought the biggest house i'
Stratford, a house called New Place. Here he probably wrote his last plays and here
he died. But there is nothing left of it but a few bricks and the garden. The man wh:
owned it, Mr.Castrell, was so angry that so many people came to see the house that h=
pulled it down.
Then the visitors go to the church where
Shakespeare is buried. There is a bust of
Shakespeare that was made by a Dutch
sculptor who lived near Shakespeare "Globe"
Theatre and must have seen Shakespeare
many times.
You can also go across the field, about a
mile out of Stratford, to Anne Hathaway's
Cottage. Anne Hathaway was the woman whom
Shakespeare married, and the cottage is just
as it was in Shakespeare's time. There are the
old chairs by the fireplace, where Shakespeare
must have sat, the plates from which he probably ate his dinner, and a Ieather boti:
out of which Anne poured beer for him.
Then the visitors can have a look at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, a big moder-
building. They say that it is the best stage in England.

However, one of the most famous sorts of production are musicals especially those of
Andrew Lloyd-Webber, his musical career started in the '70's with "Jesus Christ Superstar"
and "Evita" and continued up to the '80's and '90's with "Cats" and "Joseph". The songs
for his musicals are often very emotional and the plays are often animated. The most
famous animation was the performance of a story about trains "Starlight Express" in
which all the actors wore roller skates.
Some plays are so popular that they appear for many years, for example A.Christie's
"Mousetrap" at St. Martin's theatre which has been showing for over thirty years. London
theatres often play host to visiting orchestras and ballet companies as well as famous
opera singers.

Ohannel 4 shows many art programmes along with those aimed at the 15-30 age group.
Both ITV and Channel 4 are independent and rely on money generated from
advertisements which occur each 20 minutes and last for around 2-3 min.
The content of the programmes is monitored by an independent authority who determine
whether a programme is suitable or not. For example: films which are not suitable for
children must only be shown after 9 o'clock. The authority also calculate how many people
watch each programme. These ratings are published each week. The most popular series
at the moment are soap operas. These include "Coronation Street" filmed in Manchester
and "East Enders" filmed in London.
Nowadays private companies will also supply one's house with satellite or cable TV.
These systems are expensive but they have over 25 channels of sport, news, films etc.
They suffer from a lot of American influence.
The news is always a popular item to watch each evening, the 9 o'clock news on BBC
1 or the 10 o'clock news on lTV. The national and international news is usually followed
by the weather forecast and local news items.
ln the afternoons, between 3.00 and 5.30 special programmes are shown for children,
dramas, cartoons and school soap operas along with Blue Peter, a programme which
has been showing children how to make things from yoghurt pots and "sticky-back resffiffi
plastic" for many years.
ln the morning "Breakfast TV" shows news and current affairs. W
