Do you like seasons?

    The four seasons in Britain are very different. Read about what Daniel and Fiona think about winter, spring, summer and autumn.

Daniel

   Autumn is very beautiful time of the year. The leaves on the trees go brown, red and yellow and they go down. I love to watch it! We play in the parks a lot but we wear warm clothes, because the days get cold. School starts again in autumn, at the beginning of September. I don’t like school!

   Summer is the time for me! School finishes in July and we can play in the parks all the time. Sometimes it is very hot. People are happier and they talk with their friends and go for a walk more. The days are very long. In July, for example, it gets dark only about 10 o’clock. It’s very difficult to go to sleep at night! Fiona

   It’s very cold in winter! Sometimes, we have a lot of snow and we can make snowmen. I don’t like winter because we can’t go for a walk very much. We wear thick clothes and in our house it sometimes gets cold. When we come home from school at 4 o’clock, it is already dark. I don’t like it at all! But there is one good thing about winter - Christmas!

   After the long winter, spring is great! There are new leaves on the trees and the birds start to sing.

We can go for long walks again and play in the park. The days are longer and it doesn’t get dark until about six o’clock. It’s much warmer but it rains a lot and the days are very windy.

Địa thể rộng mà bằng; đất đai cao mà thoáng. Dân cư khỏi chịu cảnh khốn khổ ngập lụt; muôn vật cũng rất mực phong phú tốt tươi.

Scotland: The Land of Legends

If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that it has three main parts: Lowlands, Uplands and Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain peak, Ben Nevis, is located.

You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills covered with purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow valleys.

The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond, but the most famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears to scare the tourist but only in fine weather!

But what can be more curious and attractive for tourist than a man in the kilt, playing the bagpipes? The Celts of Scotland made the chequered pattern of tartan – the national dress of the country. The earliest Scots formed themselves into clans (family groups) and the tartan became a symbol of the sense of kinship. There are about 300 different clans in Scotland, and each has its own colour and pattern of tartan together with the motto.

Scotland is a land of many famous people: writer and poets, scientist and philosophers, such as Robert Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Graham Hell, or Alexander Fleming.
