THE CELTS
About 3000 years B.C. many parts of Europe, including the
British lsles, inhabited by a people called the Iberians
'.,,ere
vyhc are st:r found in the North of Spain (later they were mixed
vritn the Cetrs).
During the period from the 6th to the 3rd century B.C. a
people calleo the Celts spread all over
Europe from the east to the west. More
than one Celtic tribe invaded Britain.
From time to time these tribes were
attacked and overcome by other Celtic
tribes from the Continent. Tribes of
Scots crossed over to lreland and
settled there. Later the Scots
returned to the larger island and in
time the name of Scotland was given to
the country. Powerful Celtic tribes, the
Britons, held most of the country, and the southern half of the
island was named Britain after them.
The Celts had no towns, they lived in villages.

il&
They were acquainted with the use of copper,
tin, iron. They kept large herds of catfle and sheep
and cultivated crops. The Celtic tribes of the
Britons, who inhabited the south-eastern parts of
the island, made their houses of wood while the
other Celts made them of skins.
Some of the Celtic tribes were quite large and
fighting was common among them. ln times of war
the Celts wore skins and painted their faces. They

THE ROMAN CONQUEST OF BRITAIN


first century A D the Romans who ruted all of the civilized world at that time
T

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-
55 B.C. the Roman army of 10,000 men crossed the Channel tf)
and invaded Britain. The Celts fought bravely for their
independence, but they were not strong enough, in spite of their courage, to drive
the Romans off. (/J
Although Julius Caesar came to Britain twice in the t-
course of two years, he was not able to conquer it. ln 43 E
cs
A.D. the Roman army invaded Britain and conquered the
t&
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
gradually weakened. Early in the Sth century (407) the
Roman legions were recalled from Britain to defend the
central provinces from the attacks of the Barbaric and
Germanic tribes.

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.

ESTABT'SHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF ENGLAND
For three cenl*:,es a struggle went on between
the little Anglo-Saxcr < nEComs. At the end of the Bth
century another branch of the Germanic people
began to attack Britain. The Danes were of the same
Germanic race as tne Anglo-Saxons themselves. The
Danes still lived rn tribes They were well armed with
swords, spears. daggers, battleaxes and bows. ln
793 the Danes carried out their first raids in Britain.
Thus began the fourth conquest of Britain. They
burnt churches and monasteries. Their raids were
successful because the kingdom of England had
neither a regular army nor a fleet in the North Sea
to meet them.
ln the 1Oth century under the rule of Alfred the
Great the Saxon monarchy was further
consolidated and won several victories over the
Danes. The Danes were not driven out of the country,
but they were made subjects of Wessex. They were
not very much different from the Anglo-Saxons among
whom they lived because they were also of Germanic
origin. The Danes influenced the development of the country greatly. They were good
sailors and traders. They were si<ilful shipbuilders. The whole country tormed the united
kingdom. At the beginning of the 11th century England was conquered by the Danes
once more. The Danish king Canute (1017-1035) became king of Denmark, Norway
and England. He made England the centre of his power. But
he was often away from England in his kingdom of Denmark
and so he divided the country into four parts called earldoms.
They were Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and East Anglia.
The earls ruled over great territories and became very powerful.
The clergy grew more powerful. After the death of Canute an
Anglo-Saxon king came to the throne (1042) and the line of
Danish kings came to an end.

THE NORMAN CONQUEST OF ENGLAND


Four different peoples invaded England. First came
the Celts in the 6th century 8.C., then the Romans in
the 1st century A.D. They were followed by the Anglo-
Saxons in the 5th century. After them came the Danes
at the end of the Bth century. ln the 11th century
England was invaded by the Normans. This was the
Sth and the last invasion of England. Many changes
came about in the life of the Normans and the Danes
after the 9th century. By the 11th century the Danes
had finally settled down as subjects of the English
kings. As time went on they gradually mixed with the
Anglo-Saxons among whom they lived. But the Normans who had settled down in France
lived among the French people, who were different people, with different manners,
customs and language. These descendants of the Northmen who had settled in northern
France in the 9th century became the new Conquerors of England
ln 1066 William, the Duke of Normandy, began to gather an
army to invade Britain. William wanted the English throne. He
began preparations for a new war to fight for the Crown. Many
blg sailing-boats were built to carry the army across the Channel.

LANGUAGES OF THE BRITISH


'SIES
It may surprise you to know that until a few centuries ago there were many natives
of what we call the British lsles who did not speak English. The Western land of Wales
spoke Welsh, in the farthest north and the islands of Scotland the language was Gaelic
and a similar language lrish Gaelic was spoken in lreland, Manx was the language of
the lsle of Man, and Cornish that of the south-western top of Britain.
We are not talking about dialects (localized versions of a language) which often
contain alternative words or phrases for certain things, but which are forms of English.
Welsh, Gaelic, Manx and Cornish are complete languages with their own grammar, poetry
and stories all that we call culture.

What makes the Scottish, Welsh, English and Northern lrish different from each other?
About 2,000 years ago the British lsles were inhabited by the Celts who originally
oame from continental Europe. During 1,000 years there were many invasions. The
Romans came from ltaly in 43 A.D. and, in calling the country "Britannia", gave Britain
its name. The Angles and Saxons came from Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands
rn the 5th century and England got its name from this invasion (Angle-lends).
The Vikings arrived from Denmark and Norway throughout the 9th century and in Z.
1066 the Normans invaded from France. o
These invasions drove the Celts into what is now Wales and Scotland, and they F
<E
:emained, of course, in lreland. E
The English, on the other hand, are the descendants of all the invaders, but are more cc
Anglo-Saxons than anything else.

The existence of all languages on the territory of the British lsles and mainly the

THREE MAJOR PER'ODS IN THE EVOLUTION OF ENGLISH


we can distinguish three major periods in the evolution of
English.
The 1st. called Old Engtish (OE), covers the period from the
beginnings of the iar-giage to about 1100; the 2nd, Middle
English (ME), fro- 'tCC to 1500, and Modern English from
1500 to the preseri.
During the Old E:g sn period, most additions to the English
vocabulary were based on native English words. Old words were
given new meanings. ne,.v words were formed by the addition of prefixes or suffixes,
or by compounding. Of foreign languages the most
influential was Latin. The Scandinavians also influenced
the language of English during the Old English period. From
the 8th century, Scandinavians had raided and eventually
settled in England, especially in the north and the easi.
This prolonged if unfriendly contact had a considerable
anC varied influence on the English vocabulary. The
Niiddle English period was marked by a great extension
of foreign influence on English. The Norman Conquest in
1066 brought England under French rule. The English
language, though it did not die, was for a time of only
secondary importance. French became the language of
the upper classes in England. The variety of French they

And with the modern period of linguistic
acquisitiveness English has found opportunities even farther afield. From the
:eriod of the Renaissance voyages of discovery through the days when the sun never
set upon the British Empire and up to the present, a steady stream of new words has
flowed into the language to match the new objects and experiences which English
speakers have encountered all over the world.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE INVASION BY THE GERMANIC TR/BES
ON THE ENGI'SH LANGUAGE
The Germanic tribes who settled in Britain in the fifth century spoke the very closely
'elated Germanic tongues of their contrnental homelands. From these developed the
English language. ln fact, the words English and Engtand are derived from the name of
cne of these early Germanic peoples, the Angles. English has been spoken in England,
:hanging gradually as languages must. The earliest written records of the English language
are*all but incomprehensible to the speaker of Modern English without special training.

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.

The Angles, Saxons and


Jutes were pagans, that is to
say, they believed in many
gods. The gods of the Anglo-
Saxons were: Tu or Tuesco
god of Darkness, Woden -
god of War, Thor The-
Thunderer, and Freia -
goddess of Prosperity. When
people learned to civide up time into weeks and the week
into seven days. they gave the days the names of their gods.
It is not hard to guess inat Sunday is the day of the Sun,
of the god Tuesco, Wednesday
Monday
- the day of the luloon.
Woden's day, Thursday
Tuesday
- the day
Tnor's Cay. Friday Freia's day, and Saturday
-

(Saturn was the god of Time i';orshiped by ancient Romans). -

THE ANGLO.SAXON DIALECTS
Britain became divided into seven kingdoms: Kent, Sussex, Essex, Wessex, Mercia,
East Anglia, Northumbria which were constantly at war with one another. Four dialects
,vere spoken in these seven kingdoms:
1)the Northumbrian dialect was spoken by the Angles who lived to the north of the
'iver Humber, in the north-east of England;
2) the Mercian dialect was spoken by the Angles who lived between the river Humber ffiffi
and the Thames;
3) the West-Saxon dialect, or Wessex, was spoken by the Saxons who lived to the Pffi
re,
south of the Thames;
4) and the fourth, a minor dialect, Kentish. was the language of the Jutes.

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.

THE GREAT CHARTER (1215) AND PARLTAMENT


The Middle Ages in England was a period of feudal wars, a
period of struggle for power between the kings and the Ghurch,
betrveen the kings and powerful barons. The kings took large
sums of money from the barons for the wars in Europe. Those
yrho refused to give money were arrested.
ln ''215 the barons revolted and soon had a large army
against tne king King John stood alone. He had to sign the
great Charter (Magna Carta), a document where the rights
of the Englishmen were written down. Of course, the Great

THE PEASAA/rS' REVOLT OF 1381


The war with France lasted for more than a hundred years (1337-1453). The people
of England had to pay for the war. ln 1381 a tax of one shilling a head was taken by
the government from every man or woman above fifteen years of age. The peasants did
not want to pay the tax. ln some villages they attacked and killed tax collectors. Then
they gathered in two large armies and went to London, the city which after the Norman
Conquest became the capital of England.
ln London the peasants had many supporters. They
helped the peasants to enter the city. The peasants
surrounded the Tower of London where the king lived
at that time. Watt Tyler, one of the leaders of the revolt,
was sent to speak to the king, but the king's soldiers killed
him.
The peasants then left London, but on the way home
they were attacked by the king's soldiers. Hundreds of
peasants were killed. Thus the king put an end to the
revolt. But the peasants'revolt of 1381 was an important event in the history of England.
It showed that a serf wanted to be a free peasant farmer.

THE RISE OF ENGLAND IN THE 16th CENTURY


During the Middle Ages England was more rural than,
for example. France, lts towns were smaller and far away
from the centres of the world trade. ln the 16th century
they began to grow and England became one of the most
powerful countries in the world.
One of the most important factors was the early
decline of feudalism and the rise of capitalism. At
:^at time English farmers began to grow a lot of sheep

THE INDUSTRTAL REVOLUTION (1760s


ln the period between 1760s and - 1850s)
1850s Britain became
the first industrial country in the world, "the workshop of
the world". lt was the period of the growth of large factories
using new machinery.
Early industrialization in Britain was connected with
many important technical inventions which were made at
that time. The people learned to use coal for smelting iron.
That was a very important factor for the development of
modern metallurgy. lron was used for various purposes:
the first iron bridge was built in 1779 and first iron ship in
1787.
As you knotv, the machines in the first factories were driven by
water power. lt 1764 James Watt invented the steam engine
and twenty years later steam engines were used in the first
factories of textile industry. The steam engine could drive various
machines, carry gcods and people more quickly and more cheaply.
ln 1807 Robert Fulton (an American) constructed the first
steamship, and ihe first steam locomotive was constructed by
George Stephenson tn E^gland in '1814. The Liverpool and
lvla"chester Railway was opened in 1830.
Technrcal progress was also made in
agncul:ure. Fcr example the invention of the
threshing machine not only made the farmer's work easier and
quicker bul a so -freed a large number of people for work in industry.
This perioC in Briia ^ s history is sometimes called the lndustrial
Revolution

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BR,T'SH EMPIRE


ln the 17th century Britain had a large fleet and
established its first overseas colonies. lts ships
carried the products of the British industries all over
the world and brought back food and raw materials.
Large territories in lndia, Australia, America and
Africa became parts of the British Empire. Britain sent
soldiers and clerks to these overseas lands to look

these lands to live there. Some colonies were self-
governing or dominions, such as Canada. Australia and New Zealand. Others like
lndia and Africa rvere ruled by governors from Britain. The English language became
an official language of these countries. At one time the British Empire covered one fifth
of the earth and had one quarter of the world's population.

United States and Germany. The capitalists exported money to different countries. where
labour and raw materials were cheap, but at home industry and agriculture were not
progressing. The peoples of the colonial countries began to struggle for independence.

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.

LONDON, THE CAPITAL


London is the capital of the United Kingdom. lt is one of
the largest cities in the world. More than B million people live
in Greater London.
London was first built on two low hills on the banks of the
Thames. After the Romans left Britain in the 5th century,
London became an important place. lt was a great trading
centre. ln the 11th century William the Conqueror made
London his capital. The Great Fire of London in 1666
destroyed many wooden houses and dirty streets. Gradually
London began to grow. The villages around it grew. They
became towns. The towns grew into a large area of houses,
shops and factories which now form Greater London.
The oloest part of London is the City. lt is the business centre of London. During the
day it is iull of people, but at the end of the day the people go home and the City
becomes silent and almost empty.
By the Thames is the Tower of London, one of
the oidest and most famous buildings in Britain. lt
used to ce a royal palace, a fortress and a prison.
Noiv it s open for visitors. lt is an old tradition to
keep ravens in the Tower. Charles ll said in 163.1
I
that if the ravens ever left the Tower, it would mean
the enc c'England. A special guard is kept to give
them fooJ and look after them.
The :ouses of Parliament are in the part of
London ca ed the City of Westminster. They stand
on the ncrth side of the Thames. Here you can
listen to the chimes of Big Ben, one of the biggest
bells in the r','orld. lf you stand beside the House of Parliament you can look down the
street ca led \Vhitehall. Here are the main government offices. Near Whitehall is a narrow
street called Dotvning street. The Prime Minister lives at No 10 Downing street. The
Queen lives rn Buckingham Palace, but there are other royal palaces in London too.
The architecture of London streets is a mixture of old and new. The buildings are of
different height and styles. On the roofs you will
see a lot of chimney pots. The view of the great
historic buildings is the most beautiful if it is seen
from a bridge. There are fifteen bridges over the
River Thames.
London has more theatres and concert halls,
more picture galleries and museums, than any
other city in Britain. The British Museum, for
instance, has a wonderful art collection. lt is also
one of the most famous and important libraries in
the world. The National Gallery, which is in the
very centre of London, houses the works by almost all the greatest European painters.
The Tate Gallery has two sections: the British school from the lBth century, and modern
foreign schools (since 1850).
London is also Britain's largest port, a national and international, commercial and
financial centre and a major industrial area.
London does not at first, look like
an industrial city. lndustry has
moved out of London, especially
Curing the last twenty years.
Factories are scattered in the
clder city districts, where they are
cften surrounded by streets of small
houses. Factories built 40 or 50
years ago are about 16 kilometres
from the centre of the city.

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.

THE CITIES OF THE UK


The total land area of Britain is 240.940 sq.km. and it has a
population exceeding 55 million. Most of the population live in
the cities of the UK. The most densely populated region is the
Southeast of England, London and the Home
Counties of Surrey, West and East Sussex, Kent and
Berkshire, and also Essex are to the north of London. The least
densely populated region is the Highlands of scofland, this is
due to the harsh terrain and inclement weather.
The largest and most important city in Britain is, without a
doubt, London. lt has an average population of nearly eight
million.
Birmingham is Britain's "second city", its population is over a million. Thirty years ago
it was cne of the most important coal and metal mining centres. lt is the heart of an area
known as 'black county", a name thought to derive from the industrial pollution of this
time.
Birmingham is in the county of West Midlands and along with Coventry (40 km. away)
is an important centre of manufacturing industry especially the motor car factories which
dominate the area's economy and
employment.
Glasgow in the county of Strathclyde in
Scotland is sttuated on the Clyde river which
flows into the Atlantic. Today Glasgow's leading
industries are shipbuilding, iron and steel
working, marine and aero engines. The city
also produces a variety of cottons, woollen
carpets and hosiery.
Liverpool is situated on the rivers Mersey
and Pee in the county of Merseyside. lt has a
population of three quarters of a million. lt is

110
an important import and export centre for
international trade, especially to the other side
of the Pond. lt is also an important centre for
flour milling and sugar refining. Across the
Mersey from Liverpool is the town of Birkenhead,
famous for its shipbuilding. Liverpool was the
home of Britain's most famous export. The

THE EDUCATION SYSrE'I4


Education in Britain is provided by the local
education authority (L.E.A.). lt is financed by both
the national and government bodies. lt is divided
into four categories: nursery, primary, secondary
and tertiary.
Nursery education (less than 5 years old).
Children do not have to go to school until they are
five years old but there is some free nursery school
education before that age. However there are not
enough places for all the children.
Sometimes parents form their own play
Jroups for children which meet two or
:nree times a week.
Primary education. At five, all
:hildren go to infant school and stay
:here till they are seven. Then they go
:o junior school where pupils learn to
'ead, write, and to do arithmetic, these
:hree subjects are known as the three
R's. They also sing, draw and play
"lames.
Secondary education. Since 1944.
education has been available free of
:harge to all British children. lt is
:ompulsory for all children to go to school until the age of sixteen.
ln 1965 the government introduced a new system of comprehensive education. Nearly
all children attend their local comprehensive school. Classes are arranged so that pupils
:f slmilar academic levels are kept together. Often classes are called streams, for example p
:op stream maths or middle stream French.
Today parents often have a choice of ,-
local schools, some specialising in science, $
g;
others in arts or social science.
At the age of 16, most pupils take some G-
public examinations called G.C.S.E.'s
(General Certificates of Secondary
Education). Pupils sit between 3 and 11 of i*"
these examinations depending on their c
l*.1
level of ability. Generally pupils take at (f
least English language, English literature,
mathematics, a foreign language and a
ture scrence.
Some schools have "six forms" for pupils aged 16-18; here it is possible to study
:nree or four subjects at "A" (advanced) level. Most students who study "A" levels do so
r order to enter university when they are eighteen, if a school doesn't have a sixth form
:ren students can attend a special sixth form colleges or technical colleges to study a
specialised subject or "A" level subjects.
Private schools. Parents who don't wish their children to attend government schools
:an pay for their children to attend private schools (sometimes called public or grammar
schools). Some people claim that private education is of better quality than state educatron
as most students from private schools go to university when they ieave schcol, however
^rany university students come from state schools. About forty percen'i of the private
sohools are boarding schools where students live at school for nrne months of the
,ear, they can go home for the holidays if they want, Prrv,ate schools cost from 3,000
ii'
:: 20,000 per year.
ii, ln Britain the school year is divided rnto three terms of around twelve weeks each.
The year runs from September till July, Each terrn usually has a one week half term
iIr -cliday in the middle. The timetable usually starts at 8.30 in the morning and finishes
tI

I
H

&
at 3.30 p.m. with a morning break and a lunch break. At many schools it is compulsory
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.

RELIGION TODAY
The Church of England or the Anglican Church is still the
established church in England. The British King or eueen is
still the head of the Church. However there are many other
churches to which people belong; e.g. Roman Catholic (six million),
Methodists (1,150,000). Congregationatists (372,000), Baptists
(338,000) and other smaller groups.
ln scotland the Presbyterian church is well established and is
separated from the church of England. lt is based on a strict form
of Protestantism which was taught by the French reformer, calvin.
and brought to Scotland by John Knox.
There is complete religious freedom in Britain but this doesn't
stop people coming into religious conflict. This
problem is particularly pronounced in Northern
lreland. Twenty five years ago the arguments
between the Catholics and Protestants became
so intense, that the police and the army have
had to intervene to prevent a war between the
iwo religions.
Britain's immigrants have also brought with
them their own religions which they continue to
practice. There are Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs
from the lndian subcontinent, Rastafarians
(Rastas) from the West lndia and the largest
group of Jews living in Europe.
ln spite of the great variety of religions in Britain less than 5 % of people go to church
on Sundays. Most people use Sunday as a time to relax.

THE HOLIDAY OF CHR'STMAS
Christmas season. This season begins
usually around six weeks before Christmas Day.
It starts in earnest on '1st December with the
beginning of Advent. This is the time of the year
in the Christian calendar when we count down
the days to Jesus' birth. Many families carry on
this tradition by having a calendar with 24 doors
on it. One for each day of December up until
Christmas Eve. Each day a door is opened and
a picture is revealed, sometimes a chocolate is
also behind the door. Another tradition is an
Advent candle. lt is marked with the numbers one to twenty four and each day a section
is burned away.
Families often buy Christmas trees around a month before Christmas and it is decorated
with tinsel, garlands, baubles, small decorations, sweets, coloured lights or candles.
This is also the time of the year when people start to send Christmas cards to one
a noth er,
Christmas Eve. This day is not a national holiday, although many people will usually
take time off from work. Often the day is spent frantically shopping for last minute
presents or hurriedly wrapping children's gifts.
ln the evening many families stay at home, playing games or perhaps watching
television. Many families go to church for midnight mess, this is a simple service which
starts at midnight and is a symbol of the world waiting for the birth of Jesus.
The last thing to do before going to bed on Christmas Eve is to hang up your stocking
at the end of your bed and to leave a "mince pie" and a glass of sherry on the table
for Father Christmas to eat when he comes visiting!
Christmas Day. This day always starts early. Children get out of bed quickly and look
to see if Father Christmas has been. lf they are lucky they will find many gifts in their
stockings. Oranges, nuts, sweets, small toys etc. They will also look under the tree where
they may find the presents which they hope that Santa brought with him the night before
Also there are many goodies to be prepared in the kitchen for Christmas dinner. Most
families spend the morning unwrapping presents, which are covered with coloured paper.
before going to church for a family service. Even people who are not religious go to
church on Christmas Day as it is a tradition.

152
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

re
and on the twelfth day, 6th January, the tree and the decorations must be removed from
the streets and houses. This day is called Epiphany and is said to be the day that the
three wise man brought presents of Gold Frankincense and Myrrh to the baby Jesus.

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.

KENT: THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND


Kent is a peninsula in the south-east
corner of England. You can find it or
the map. Kent is the nearest Englisi
county to the Continent. Only thirty-five
kilometres of water separate it fron'
France. On a clear day it is possible tc
see the white cliffs across the Englisl-
Channel. The Romans, led by Julius
Caesar, first landed in Kent. Today lt is
the land first seen by most visitors fron'
Europe, and it is the county best knowr'
to them, as they pass through it on their
way to London.
No place in Kent is far from the sea. Slowly the waves wash away the coast of Kent
in some places as much as three feet a year. ln other places the sea has retreated
like a beaten army.
The lolv hills running east and west are called the North Downs. They are coverec
with short grass, which feeds thousands of sheep. Kent gives the English people woo
and mutton.
Kent is usually called the Garden of England. Lots of vegetables, fruits and flowers
grown in the gardens of Kent are taken to London. Kent is famous for apples and plums
but especially for cherries, ln early spring you can see miles of cherry-trees in snowlike
blossom.
Autumn is the time to visit hop gardens in Kent. The hop farmer has much work tc
do all the year round, but when the harvest time comes, he has more work than he anc
his family can do by themselves. Each September thousands of men and women, boys
and girls are busy gathering the fruit of the hop-plant. The hops are gathered into large
baskets and taken to be dried.

NATIONAL PARKS IN ENGLAND I: I

The U K conia ns a wide variety of *


national parks a I of which have different r-"{
names. N'luch cf the area of the parks is
owned by e :rer tne National trust or the m
Forestry Commrssion.
ln the scurn-west of England, Dartmoor
is the largest of three parks, its area is
over 2 5CC sq.km. and as the name
suggests li is a moor. This means that
there are vast stretches of very wet ground
or bays vyhich are unfarmable. There are
villages around Dartmoor park and the
famous Princeton Prison near the centre.
Some of the land in the north is occasionally used for military exercises but generally
it's frequented by only campers or sheep. The rveather changes very quickly over the
moor and many people have died after being stranded in the fog. Hidden throughout
the moor are small or medium sized "post boxes" these boxes contain a stamp and a
visitors book. lf you are lucky enough to find one then you may write your name in the
book. Over the last 50 years over 5,000 of these boxes have been hidden and discovered
Also in the south-west are Exmoor and Bodmin moor, they are both similar to Dartmoor
but much smaller and with less ancient history, for it is thought that thousands of years
ago Druids worshipped on these moors, amongst large granite outcrops or tors.
ln the heart of the country lies the Peak
District national park. This lies mainly in
Derbyshire. With its individual looking red
stone, this region is very popular with climbers
trying different "routes". lt is a popular region
for midlanders to go on a Sunday afternoon
and many of the rocks or stones have ancient
stories to tell. The hills in this area are not
very high so it is popular with the young and
old alike.
ln the north of England, close to the Lake
District park, is the Pennines. These hills run
down the centre of England from Scotland to
South Yorkshire. They are sometimes known
as the <Backbone of England>.
The hills rise from the rolling countryside into some stark looking peaks. However the
hills look foreboding only and are really a pleasant place to spend summer afternoons.
ln the winter however there is often a lot of snow in this area and roads across the hills
are cut off from time to time; the other main weather hazard in this area is the amount
of rain that falls all the year round

LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK
The National Trust is a charity founded nearly 100
years ago by three people who were anxious that the
natural beauty of the British countryside was not to be
spoiled by the increasing industrialisation of the country.
Today the Trust owns around 2,400 sq.km. of land, it
is the third largest landowner in the country. lts
property includes famous gardens, villages, wind- and
watermills, lakes and mountains, abbeys and ancient
ruins.
The Lake District is the largest national park in England, one quarter of the land is
owned by the national trust, with a large part of the rest owned by the Forestr;
Commission. As the name suggests, this region of Cumbria is dominated by its lakes
The lakes and the mountains that surround them were formed millions of years ago t.
the ice age. The Iargest lake is Windermere, this is often used for sailing, water-skiing
and other sports. The deepest lake, thought to be the oldest, is Wostwater, over 60 n
deep. One fairly new "lake" is Hawes-water reservoir. This is a man-made lake which
was created by flooding a valley. However, the valley contained a village and there are
many stories of village life continuing under the lake. On stormy nights, the story goes
it is still possible to hear the church bell ringing beneath the surface.
The English lakes is a popular area for
outdoor activities; such as hiking, camping,
climbing and water sports. lt is more popular
for families to visit in the summer and the only
real industry in the region is tourism. One can
spend hours in the towns of Windermere,
Ambleside, Penrith or Keswick just looking at the
clothes made from lakeland wool, sweets from
lakeland farms or drink the special lakeland
beer, brewed by Marstons. The only three
mountains in England are all found in the Lake
District, they are Scafell Pike (977 m.), Hetvetlyn
(9a9 m.) and Skiddaw (931 m.). They can each be climbed easily in a day and very little
specialist equipment is needed. lf the weather is fine, one can see almost to the coas:
of lreland from the summits.

ENTERTAINMENT: CINEMA AND THEATRE
The most popular form of national
entertainment, without a doubt, is the
cinema. ln recent years it has become
more and more popular to go with family
or friends to watch a movie. The reason
for this revival is parfly due to the lack
of films shown on television and parily due
to a new generation of cinemas.
Many years ago, most towns had at
least one theatre which had been
converted into a cinema, often called ,,the
Odeon" or the "Cannon". However many
of these have become unprofitable and
have closed. The new generation of
cinemas, owned by the large film
companies have up to ten or twelve
screens and show around ten films, three
times a day, seven days a week. The
tickets are often reasonably priced and so these new cinemas are proving very popular.
These cinemas often show artistic as well as mainstream films
ln London, the area around Leicester Square rs famous for its large cinemas. New
films are often showed in London first before the rest of the country. ii.k"t.
in London
are very expensive but this cinema is popular with celebrities.
Most of the famous theatres in Britain are
also to be found in London. However, even
small villages often have a village hall which
is used to show plays or pantomimes.
One of the original London theatres was
the Globe, this was an open air theatre
giving 5 performances a week. However, it
was destroyed in 1066.
Today most of the famous theatres are to
be found in the area of Drury Lane in West
London. lt is possible to see a great variety
of performances including comedies,
tragedies, whodunnits and Shakespeare.

174
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.

ENTERTAINMENT: TV IN BRITAIN
Nearly all families in Britain have at
least one television set or TV. lt is the
most popular pastime in the evenings to
watch TV with all the family.
There are four normal channels on
British TV. These are BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV
and Channel 4. Each year a license must
be bought for each house that has a TV.
the license costs around J20 for a B&W
TV and nearly J'100 for a colour TV
Special equipment is used to make sure
everyboCy nas a license.
The tlo BBC channels are national. They are founded by the government but are
non-political. BBC 1 shows a variety of programmes including comedies, documentaries
dramas, arts. soap operas and, of course, films. BBC 2 shows mainly documentaries and
repeated programmes. lt is also used for educational programmes for schools and the
Open University. ITV or independent TV is divided into a number of regions. They have
some regional variations but generally show programmes similar to BBC 1. The names
of the regions are generally derived from geographical situations, e.g. south-west TV.

178
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.

ENTERTAINMENT: PUBS AND CLUBS
The pub is a British institution; in many towns there are more public houses than
churches. Many of the pubs have historical roots as taverns or inns which were like
roadside hotels many years ago, where people could rest and change their horses,
hence the popular names "The Coach lnn" or "Travellers Rest".
Most pubs have two separate bars, one for standing at a counter and drinking and
one with tables and chairs. The bar itself is a wooden counter. The staff stand on one
side with the taps for beer and bottles of
spirits and liqueurs, the customers stand on
the other. The pub is a very popular place
for people to meet, most pubs are open all
day and people visit them at lunch time, in
the afternoon or in the evening.
Pubs are popular with young and old,
managers and labourers and students. The
law in Britain is such that 16-17 year olds
can only drink beer with a meal and people
of age 18 can order any drinks they like. All
the pubs have names.
Many pubs today have a special room for playing pool, a machine for playing music
and other events to attract more visitors. For example, many pubs hold discos or quiz
evenings, at which people often win prizes.
Traditional English beer is Porter, stout or bitter, it is very dark beer and very tasty.
It is made in almost every region of Britain and there are many regional variations.
Pubs in England and Wales usually close at 11 o'clock in the evening so at 10.50,
all over the country, bells can be heard with the classic shout of "last orders ladies and
gentleman, please". Pubs in Scotland close a little later.
Clubs or nightclubs are becoming more and more popular in Britain today. Nearly all
large towns have at least one club and London has very many, some of them are very
famous and frequented by famous stars.
The clubs usually open at B or 9 o'clock in the evening and stay busy until at least
2 a.m. or sometimes until 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning.
lnslde the clubs are usually 2 or 3 bar areas and the same number of dancing areas.
The dance floors are usually wooden and above them there are hundreds of coloured
flashing lights. The clubs play very loud music of many different styles. Some are techno
clubs, some dance, some house and even heavy metal. Very often men must wear smart
clothes to the clubs. No jeans are allowed or trainers. A familiar sight at the doors of
clubs are "bouncers", large men in black suits whose job is to stop any trouble.
