England

The symbol of England is a red rose, and English people are crazy about gardening. Everywhere in England you will see gardens, large and small. The English are also famous for their love of animals. A lot of families have pets, especially cats and dogs.

English football is famous of course, but there is another national sport too - cricket. Many English people love cricket, but it is not so popular in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Some cricket matches continue for five days, and often there isn’t even a winner!

In the south of England you will find some beautiful villages. Some of the houses and cottages have thatched roofs. «Thatcher» is an English surname.

Many English surnames are the names of jobs, for example, Baker, Farmer, Potter.

The two oldest and most famous universities in England are in Oxford and Cambridge. If you visit these cities, you will see amazing old buildings, beautiful gardens, rivers - and punts. Punts are long boats. You have to stand up at one end of the punt, put a pole in the water and push. It’s very difficult!

Some of the wildest and most beautiful countryside in England is in the north. It is very popular with Walkers, campers and climbers.

Tapescript

Cornwall is full of mystery and magic. There are lots of fascinating places. My favourite place in Cornwall is Tintagel. It’s famous because legends say that King Arthur was born there, in the castle - the old castle walls are still there. There are lots of old stories about King Arthur, his beautiful wife Guinevere, Merlin the magician and the Knights of the Round Table. Some people say that their ghosts still walk around in the caves near the castle walls. The legends say that every year you can see the castle just like it was in Arthur’s time. I’d love to see that!

Stonehenge is a group of very large tall stones which are arranged into a large circle with a smaller circle inside it. It was built in prehistoric times and is located near Salisbury, England.

The reasons for the building of Stonehenge are unknown, but scientists believe that it was the place of worship and ritual. The first stones were put there more than 4000 years ago and could be used for studying the movements of the Sun, the Moon and the stars. Many people think that they were used by ancient priests in religious ceremonies. What is surprising about Stonehenge is the fact that some stones were brought from as far as 385 km away,
