      As far as next week`s outlook is concerned, southern parts of  England and Wales will be cloudy with drizzle in places while the north should be dry, bright and sunny. Temperatures will be above average but light east to north-easterly winds could make North Sea coasts feel rather chilly.

Артиклі з географічними назвами

Вживання артиклів з ​​географічними назвами є лише частиною теми «Артиклі з іменами власними». З географічними назвами ми використовуємо небудь певний артикль, або відсутність артикля як такого. Щоб чітко розібратися, в яких варіантах слід ставити артикль в англійській мові, а в яких ні, необхідно розділити всі випадки на дві великі групи і на прикладах побачити, як чинити в тій чи іншій ситуації. Смію зауважити, що приклади вам доведеться запам’ятовувати, щоб у потрібний момент грамотно вжити те чи інше слово. Один маленький нюанс — на географічних картах назви прийнято давати без артиклів.

Paul’s Travel Diary

Look at the map of the British Isles. You can see them to the north-west of the mainland  of  Europe. Do you know what the two largest islands are called? Those are Great Britain and Ireland. Besides, there are over five hundred small islands.

 Altogether they make the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Britain, for short.  That’s where I have arrived recently.

As Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel, I had three options – to take a plane or cross it by ferry or by train through the channel tunnel. I chose the quickest and the most popular way of travelling and there I was – landing at Gatwick Airport, 43 kilometres south of London (as said in the leaflet I picked at the Information desk.)

 I could hardly believe my eyes: quite beautiful landscapes and 2,000 years of history were waiting for me to explore. I must admit that it is easier said than done as this island state is made up of four lands: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

My first destination was England as it is the largest and most populous of the four. I have already bought the postcards of rather famous natural attractions such as the rivers Thames and Mersey, the south-eastern coast, sandy or muddy, with occasional chalk cliffs, the Pennines going down England almost like a backbone, and the Lake District, of course.

West of England is Wales. With a charm of its own, it is home of Mount Snowdon,  over 1,000m high, capital Cardiff, the leek, the daffodil, and the red dragon as the national symbol of the Welsh country. I’m so looking forward  to visiting Wales!

If I have a chance to go to the North of England, I’ll find myself in Scotland some day and enjoy the Highlands and the Lowlands, many beautiful rivers and lakes (called lochs), the legendary thistle and heather covering the mountainsides. Maybe, I will even be the one to discover the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster at last! Hooray!

 Last, but not least Northern Ireland. It is at its nearest point only 21 km from Scotland. It is separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. It has a border in the south and west with the Irish Republic. At its centre lies Lough Neagh, Britain’s largest freshwater lake. The whole island is known for its beautiful, green countryside, that is why it is sometimes called the Emerald Isle.

I can’t wait to see it all!

The Pennines – a mountain range running down the centre from the north to central England.

Some More Facts about Britain

You probably know that the official or political name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, at the United Nations and the European Parliament it is usually known by a shorter name: The United Kingdom or the abbreviation the UK. We often call the country Britain. In addition,there is also a poetic name of the country Albion.

The geographical name of the country is the British Isles, because the country occupies the islands which are called the British Isles. For this reason,it has the only land borderline with Ireland and sea borderline with France.

As all the countries the UK has its symbol, the flag. It is called the Union Flag as well as the Union Jack. Why such a name you may ask me? Then you ought to know that in 1603, King James I of England (or Jack for short) united England and Scotland. Then in 1801 there was the union with Ireland.

Now the flag combines the elements of the three countries (England, Scotland

and Northern Ireland) united under one nation. Wales is not represented in

the flag because at the time the flag appeared in 1606, Wales was already

united with England.

Look at the Union Jack. It is a combination of three crosses of three patron

saints of the country: the red cross of Saint George for England on a

white background; the white diagonal cross of Saint Patrick of Ireland on a

white background.

As for the State Emblem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and

Northern Ireland, it shows the union of its four parts.

There are emblems of each part of the UK: the emblem of England (three

lions on a red background), the emblem of Scotland (a red lion on a yellow

background), the emblem of Wales (Saint David and the Daffodil) and the

emblem of Northern Ireland (a yellow harp on a blue background).

The two emblems of the English lions symbolize the leading role of England

in this union. The shield is supported by two mythic animals: the English

Lion and the Scottish Unicorn. The emblem is headed with a crowned

lion, the symbol of power and might. In addition, below the emblem, there

are four floral symbols of the four parts of the country. Do you know them?

It’s the Red Rose for England, a wild plant called Thistle for Scotland, a

vegetable called the Leek for Wales and another wild plant called Shamrock

for Northern Ireland.

To finish with, I’d name the historic colours of the parts of Great Britain:

England – White; Scotland – Blue; Wales – Red; Northern Ireland – Green.

Sport teams of the nations wear these colours.

BRISTOL

Bristol is not a very large port. It is smaller than Plymouth, Liverpool, Portsmouth and Dover, but it is very beautiful.

The port of Bristol became rich in the nineteenth century by importing sugar, rum and tobacco and also by exporting slaves. It is still a rich city and is now the centre of the aviation industry. Rolls Royce makes airplane engines just outside Bristol.

Bristol is divided into two parts. One of them is the port on the Avon with narrow streets, old churches and half wooden houses. It has a wooden eighteenth century theatre untouched since those days.

This was the port from which many ships sailed in Elizabeth’s reign. The 18^th century stone houses climb up the hills to the second part of Bristol. This part is more modern and it has many fine houses built of pink stone and many wonderful monuments and churches.

THE ROSE

The national flower of England is the rose. No wonder so many people voted it a national icon.

It all started during the time of the Wars of the Roses — civil wars (1455-1485) between the royal house of Lancaster (whose emblem was a red rose) and the royal house of York (whose emblem was a white rose).

At the end of the war the two roses were combined in the Tudor rose. The idea belonged to Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch and the father of Henry VIII. Henry was a Lancastrian, but he fell in love with Elisabeth of York, married her — and united the two houses. Looking for a symbol of this union, he chose a red rose with a white rose in it. During the Tudor period, hundreds of inns were named the Rose — to show loyalty to the royal family. There are still many pubs and hotels all over the country named after this flower.

In 1871, the newly formed Rugby Football Union selected an England team to play the first ever international match against Scotland. The committee chose a red rose as the team’s badge. Although England lost the match, held in Edinburgh, the country’s rugby teams have worn roses ever since.

1.Look  video about LONDON

2. Read the dialogue “Talking about People in Britain” in pairs. Say what the British society is like.

Talking about People in Britain It’s a Friday afternoon. Paul, who is taking a guided tour of Greater London, is bombarding the guide with questions about people in Britain.

Guide:  Now, boys and girls, let’s have a broad picture of ordinary people living in Britain today.

 Paul:  What is Britain’s population at present?

 Guide: About 58 million people, the 17th largest population in the world. The great majority live in England, Scotland has just over 5 million people, Wales 2,9 million and Northern Ireland about 1,6 million. However, they are all British.

 Paul:  Do they mostly live in cities or in the country?

 Guide:  Most people are concentrated in towns and cities, although there has been a trend, especially in the capital London, for people to move away from city centres into the suburbs.

 Paul:  No wonder, they are so overcrowded. Life is too busy there even for young people, let alone the elderly.

 Guide:  Right, especially nowadays when the number of retired people is in- creasing.

 Paul:  Where do most people work before they retire?

Guide:  More and more people have jobs in service industries, such as banking, medical and educational services, transport and communication.

 Paul:  What other changes are happening in the British society?

Guide:  It is becoming more and more multicultural. Historically, people in the four lands of Britain came from many cultures: the ancient Celtic and Germanic peoples, the Romans, the Normans, the Vikings, and others. Besides, for centuries people from overseas have settled in Britain, looking for better opportunities.

Paul:  What are the largest international communities, I wonder?

Guide: Those from India, Pakistan and other Asian countries. There are also immigrants from Australia, China, Greece, South Africa, wherever. They all enjoy equal democratic rights.

 Paul: I have recently read about the Notting Hill Carnival which is a co- lourful celebration of the black community in London. Am I right to believe so?

 Guide: Absolutely! This large international event takes place in the West of London every August. Tens of thousands of people get together in the streets to enjoy the colourful costumes, live music and dancing.

Paul: Wow!

Talking about British Traditions



1. Look about Royal   Family

2. Read the text.

Paul: Well, Helen, time flies, and my two-week trip to Britain is coming to an end.

 Helen: Yeah, parting is such sweet sorrow, isn’t it? Now you know from your life experience that the United Kingdom is, above all, a nation where tradition has shaped many aspects of their daily lives: from their customs and celebrations to the food they eat, sporting events and children’s games.

 Paul:  Exactly. During my stay here I came to love Britain’s natural wonders, British people, even weather in the British Isles!

 Helen: Let’s take the tradition of keeping national parks, for example. What is your attitude to it?

 Paul: I find it extremely important. I have found out that there are eight national parks in England and three in Wales. These are the well- known landscapes of outstanding natural beauty protected by law. The first national park was established in northern England over 50 years ago. Scotland’s first National Park – Loch Lomond – opened recently.

 Helen: And what is the largest of the English National Parks?

 Paul: The Lake District, if I’m not mistaken. The guide said, it attracts more than 12 million visitors every year who “wander lonely as a cloud”, as William Wordsworth put it, inspired by its scenery.

 Helen: You have heard of the so-called Highland Games, haven’t you?

Paul: Sure. These Scottish games have been popular since the days of Queen Victoria in the 19th century. Today, they include Highland dancing, playing the bagpipes, and various athletic events such as throwing the hammer.

 Helen: What’s going to happen to them in the future?

Paul: I believe they will live far into the 21st century.

 Helen: And what do you say to tea dancing?

 Paul: It is an old entertainment ritual which is enjoying more and more popularity. People visit tea gardens to take a walk, dance, listen to music, watch fireworks and enjoy a cup of tea.

Helen: Right you are. And do you happen to know the most widely observed traditional meal of the year?

Paul: Christmas dinner, of course, with roast turkey as its centrepiece.

Helen: I know, I know. It is eaten in the early afternoon of Christmas day, accompanied with bread sauce, sausages rolled in bacon, roast chest- nuts, carrots and peas. The main course is followed by Christmas pudding which is made from dried fruit.

Paul: It adds up to the enjoyment, doesn’t it? Helen: I am absolutely positive that tradition is at the heart of modern Britain.

Wordsworth, William (1770-1850) – an English romantic poet whose poems are mainly about the beauty of nature and often describe the country- side of the Lake District in north-west England where he went to live.

The Lake District – an area in north-west Eng- land where thre are a number of lakes in beauti- ful mountain scenery which attract many tour- ist. It includes England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

THE WELSH MIND AND CHARACTER

The Welsh are a nation and they are conscious of it. However similar they may be in appearance, as soon as they begin to speak the difference is clear. The Welsh are quick and impetuous in speech. They are highly-gifted in the art of self-expression in words, they speak fluently and confidently. They are not afraid of being poetic in speech, of using bright and pictorial descriptions of men and events in ordinary conversation.

The Welsh like listening to good speaking and they are critical as an audience.

They are a nation of singers. Wherever they meet, they sing. There is no need to “arrange” singing, it will happen spontaneously and it will be good. This custom dates back to a period long before any written music was available to the people. You will not travel far in Wales without finding a choir. Even in small villages men and women gather together to practice singing and then a public performance of the works they have learnt. Sometimes members of smaller choirs unite to form one big choir and to give a series of festival performances of choral works. only rare these choirs have a professional conductor. Each village or town choir can find a local musician capable of conducting it.

The standard of singing is high and the love of good music is widespread.

The Welsh are especially proud of their language. When you travel you can see road signs in Welsh all over Wales.

Most Welshmen speak both Welsh and English, and there is literature in two languages. Welsh literature has an ancient history and has made its contribution to the legends of King Arthur in Britain. Prose, romance and poetry are its chief glory. Novels and short stories in Welsh, Welsh periodicals, books on research and history, books on poetry — these all are being produced at an ever increasing rate. The love of reading is widespread in Wales.

THE ELECTRIC GUITAR

The very first

The first electric guitar was made By Adolph Rickenbacker in the USA in 1931. It was called a “Frying Pan” because it was made of aluminium. The “Frying Pan” was played horizontally, on a person’s lap (much like today’s steel guitar). Experts say that it sounded quite modern and aggressive.

Like most new things the electric guitar had its critics who said that the instrument had no future. But the electric guitar quickly won people over because it allowed musicians to play much more creatively and expressively.

A Symbol of Rebellion

In the 1950s, the electric guitar became rock’n’roll’s main instrument. Musicians like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley introduced a new style and attitude, and young people wanted to look like them. For the first time teenagers started wearing jeans, T-shirts and leather jackets. The electric guitar became a symbol of freedom, independence and rebellion.

Guitar stars

In the 1960s, electric guitarists in British groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became the superstars of rock. Teenagers imitated them. They stood in front of mirrors and used tennis racquets as guitars. With mass production of guitars, people could finally buy them.

New Sounds

Live performances in large halls and open-air concerts demanded volume and spectacular effects, and musicians started experimenting with their guitars.

George Harrison of the Beatles and Roger McGuinn of the Byrds started playing 12-string guitars.

Jimi Hendrix, considered by many to be the greatest ever rock guitarist, experimented with the Fender electric guitar to make strange and original sounds. Hendrix was famous for throwing his guitars, smashing them and setting them on fire. He said, “Sometimes I jump on my guitar, and sometimes I play the guitar with teeth”.

In 1969, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin introduced a way of playing the guitar with a violin bow. He also started playing the double — neck guitar (instead of using two instruments).

In the 1970s and 1980s, musicians continued experimenting. They made louder and faster music, with long guitar solos. Their new musical vocabulary became known as “heavy metal”. At the same time, punk bands in Britain thought it was cool to play the guitar badly. It was part of their rebel image.

True or False.

1. Electric guitars appeared in the first half of the twentieth century.

2. People enjoyed them because of their design.

3. The electric guitar changed the whole music world.

4. The electric guitar became the instrument for calm music lovers.

5. Jimi Hendrix was very careful with his instruments.

6. New sounds were the result of experiments.

7. All the musicians played the guitars only in a proper way.

Answer the questions.

4. What did the guitarists do to improve sounding?

5. What did the electric guitar symbolize at that time?
