The United Kingdom is a multinational country today, but its people make  a unity. They call themselves  the British. Everyone who was born in Britain is  British.

But don’t  call a Welsh or Scottish person English! He won’t like it! Only  people from England can be called English. People from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland are not English. They are Scottish or the Scots, Welsh and Irish.

More than 56 mln people live in Britain. Many of them live in big industrial cities like London, Manchester and Liverpool, for example, are the biggest industrial cities in the centre of England. Other industrial cities are Leeds, Shelfield and others.

Such cities as Plymouth, Portsmouth and Liverpool are big ports where many sailors and fishermen live.

Stratford-upon-Avon is a very interesting town and the birthplace of famous Shakespeare.

Everyone in Britain speaks English. But in some parts of Scotland and Wales people speak different languages as well. The Welsh are proud of their language. They like to speak Welsh, to sing songs in Welsh.

Everyone in the UK speaks English but they all speak it differently. A Scottish person has to listen carefully if he wants to understand a Londoner or a Welsh person.
