Scotland. It is a country of great variety with its own unique character and strong traditions. It is a
very beautiful country famous for the diversity of its landscapes. Scottish lakes, called "lochs" are
surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains.
The most famous of the Scottish lochs is Loch Ness, because of the mystery of its monster. It is not
the largest lake in Britain, but it is 35 km long. The weather of the lake is dark and always very cold. It is
a strange creature with two humps in its back, the head of a snake, a giraffe-like neck and two very short
front legs. People called the water monster Nessie. The Loch Ness monster is a real attraction for people
from all parts of Britain and from many other countries.
Wales. It is a small country but there is no other part of the British Isles where national spirit is
stronger, national pride more intense or national traditions more cherished than in Wales.
The 800-year-old National Eisteddfod, an annual festival of Welsh music and poetry has been held
early in August since the 12
th
century. It attracts Welsh people from all over the world. Welsh is the
official language of the festival. The program includes male choirs, brass-band concerts, many children's
events drama, arts, crafts.
The most impressive ceremony of the festival is the crowning of the Bard. When the best poet's name
is called, he comes forward to the platform. There he is given a purple robe to wear. A crown of golden
oak leaves is placed on his head.
England. England means different things to different people. To some of them it is "a fortress built
by nature" to some - "a foggy Albion".
Some people call it "the workshop of the world", others - "a land of sleepy rural beauty".
One of the oldest prehistoric monuments is Stonehenge. The monument consists of two circles of
huge stone blocks.
Inside of them there are two groups of stones in the shape of a horseshoe. It is a ritual monument of
Druids used for performing mystic rites at dawn on Midsummmer Day - 24
th
June.
Northern Ireland. There is an old Irish saying that Ireland must be the cleanest place in the world,
because God washes it every day. Ireland is also called the "Emerald Isle' because of its beautiful green
fields.
Everybody knows that the national emblem of Ireland is a shamrock. It illustrates the Christian
doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish. Inside the shamrock there is a red hand. Why is it here? The legend
tells us that 3000 years ago two Vikings chiefs went with their men in big boats to Ireland. The first man
to touch the Irish land would be the king. Then one of the chiefs cut off his right hand and threw it. So he
was the first and he became the king of Ireland.

По ходу фильма учащиеся дают краткие коментарии о достопримечательностях Лондона.
P u p i l 1. London is a very old city. It is about two thousand years old. Many years ago London was a
small town on the Thames. There were a lot of villages round it and after many years London and three
hundred villages grew into a very large city. But one day there was a great disaster - the Great Fire. It
was in 1666. After that it was rebuilt again. Now London is a beautiful city and one of the biggest cities
in the world.
102
P u p i l 2. London is not only the capital of Great Britain. It is a huge port, a commercial and science
center and the seat of the British Government.
It is situated upon both banks of the river Thames.
The most important parts of London are the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster.
The City, or the Square Mile, is the oldest part of London. Most important companies and banks have
offices there.
The West End is the western part of London between the City and Hyde Park. The City and West End
are the heart of the capital. Here you can see historical buildings, theatres, museums, fashionable shops
and gardens.
Westminster with Government buildings is the next part of London.
The East End is the poorest part of the capital.
P u p i l 3. Westminster Palace is known as the Houses of Parliament. This is where British Parliament
sits. The modern Westminster
Palace was built in 1840 after the fire on the historical place of the old Westminster Palace.
There are two towers: the Victoria Tower and the Clock Tower. The Victoria Tower holds the
documents of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
Big Ben is the name of the huge clock bell on the top of Big Ben. It is the biggest one in Britain. It was
called Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall, who looked after the building of the clock.
P u p i l 4. St Paul's Cathedral is the city's greatest monument and the masterpiece of the famous
architect Sir Christopher Wren. He is known as "the architect of London" for he planned the building of
London after the Great Fire of 1666 with wide streets and houses made of bricks. It was built in 1675-
1710 and the building went on for 35 years.
Inside the church there are monuments to national heroes. The Duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson,
Joshua Reynolds and Christopher Wren are buried there. An inscription in Latin says: "If you seek a
memorial, look about you".
P u p i l 5. Westminster Abbey is a fine Gothic building in the center of London just opposite the
Houses of Parliament. It is the most important and famous of all historic buildings in Britain. Since the
time of William the Conqueror (1066) Westminster Abbey has been the crowning place of the kings and
queens of England.
It was founded as a monastery but later it was rebuilt. The present building dates from about 1480
but the West Towers were added in the 18
th
century.
There are tombs and memorials of almost all English monarchs, famous statesmen and scientists,
writers and musicians. Some monuments are made of gold and precious stones.
In Poet's Comer the most important English literary men are buried: Dickens, Shakespeare, Burns, Byron,
Kipling, W. Scott, etc. There is also the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior.
P u p i l 6. On the north side of Trafalgar Square you can see the National Gallery and the National
Portrait Gallery next to it.
The National Gallery was begun in 1824 when 38 pictures were bought by the Government. The
collection contains pictures of all the European schools of painting between the 13
th
and early 20
th
century. Now there are more than 2.000 paintings in the collection. There are no pictures by living
artists. Some pictures are bought by the Gallery, some are given by rich people and some are lent.
P u p i l 7. The river Thames flows through London and there are 17 bridges over the Thames.
Tower Bridge is the gateway to London from the sea. It is the most famous but not the oldest bridge
in London. It was built in 1894 not far from the Tower of London. This bridge quickly became the symbol
of London. It's the only Thames bridge which can be raised.
102
P u p i l 8. Trafalgar Square is the most famous of London squares. It is situated in the centre of
London not far from Westminster and Buckingham Palace. It was laid out in Victorian times on the site of
the Royal stables.
The square was named after Admiral Horatio Nelson. He defeated the French Fleet at the Battle of
Trafalgar in 1805. In the middle of the square a very tall column (1842) stands. Its height is 50 m. It is the
monument to Lord Nelson. His statue is on the top of the column. The statue is 5 m high. Bronze relieves
show his most famous victories. The four bronze lions at the bottom of the column were cast from the
cannons of the ships. There are two beautiful fountains and historical British people around the column.
There are lots of pigeons. They are nearly tame and you can feed them just from your hand.
Trafalgar Square is the place for political demonstrations and it is the popular meeting place for both
tourists and Londoners.
P u p i l 9. The Tower of London is a famous ancient historic building. It was founded by William the
Conqueror in 1078. From the 11
th
century the Tower has been served many purposes and it is full of
history.
At first it was a fortress and a palace. Then it was the king's residence. From the 15
th
to 18
th
century
it was a state prison. For some time it was the first royal observatory. For 300 years there was the royal
zoo. Since 1640 it has been the place where the Crown Jewels are kept. Today the Tower houses the
unique collection of Royal arms.
