Languages and dress
Most British pespoken by over half a
million people speak English, but Gaelic

The most famous traditional British
dress is the Scottish kilt. The particular
pattern of tartan, the checked fabric
from which Scottish national dress is
made, represents the family clan that
the person is from. Many people think
that Scottish men wear kilts every day.
This not true! Kilts are only worn on
special occasions such as weddings or
dances.

Foreigners have many ideas
about what the English like. For
example, some people say the
English are always cold and
reserved, this means that they
don't talk much to strangers, and
don't show much emotion. A
reserved person never tells you
anything about himself. But the
people of the North and West of
Britain are much less reserved
than those of the South and East.
The British are polite,aren’t they?
English people are famous for their
habit of politeness. It is considered
polite to give up one's seat to a
woman who is standing, to open a
door for her, carry things for her, and
so on. Most British people expect the
person in front of them to hold the
door open for them. People think you
are rude, if you don't do this. Most
British people queue when they are
waiting for a bus or waiting to be
served in a shop.
Britain’s flag
Britain’s flags on white background of St
George for England, the white X on St
Andrew for Scotland, and the red X on
white background of St Patrick for Ireland.
Of course, each country in Britain also has
its own flag. It’s worth remembering that
the Union Jack is more popular in England
that in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The
reason is that the Welsh, Scottish and Irish
and do not like being reminded of the time
when they lost their independence to
England.
A nation is born from its land

A nation is born from its land, its history, its art,
its traditions and its institutions. These things
work together to make people what they are. But
above all, a nation is made up of people, and
although there are things they all share, all of
those people are different. We can say there is
still a «British nation,» and one of the most
characteristic features of Englishmen is their
traditions, which they respect, and which they
have kept for centuries.
