Warm up
1 Look at the pictures. Which one do you
think best represents the typical modern
British family?
Reading
2 Read the article and check your answer.
Is the typical British family two married

parents with dad at work and mum at home
with two children? No, it isn’t! Today mums
and dads are at work, so little children are
with nannies, grandparents, or at nurseries C
in the day. Many children are in one-parent
families as their parents are divorced,
so they are with one parent during the week and with the other one at the weekend. Other
parents are unmarried or remarried to different people, so there are new stepfamilies, or even
half-brothers and sisters. There are lots of only children too, without brothers or sisters.
There are also more and more multicultural families in the UK, where parents are from
different countries, so their kids have two passports.
3 Read the article again and choose the correct alternative.

Today dads / mums and dads are at work.
1 Little children are with parents / nannies in the day.
2 Many children are in one-parent / two-parent families as their parents are divorced.
3 Stepfamilies are the original / new families when parents are remarried.
4 An only child is / isn’t one with brothers or sisters.
5 In multicultural families the parents are from one country / different countries.

British houses
Are there 5 floors, 52 bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, tables and chairs for 1,500 people and a very
big garden in your home? Yes, there are if it’s Buckingham Palace, but typical British homes are
small, two-floor houses. Upstairs, there are two or three bedrooms with beds and wardrobes, a
bathroom and a separate toilet. Downstairs there is a kitchen with a fridge and cooker, a table
and chairs for four people. In the living room there’s a sofa, armchairs and a fireplace. Under
the stairs there is a small cupboard. Outside there is a small garden, but there isn’t a garage for
your car, and your door is right next to your neighbour’s!

United Kingdom, Great Britain and the British Isles. The
2 Isle of Wight 5 Hebrides United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the
3 Shetland Islands political union of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland. Great Britain is a geographical term which
indicates England, Scotland and Wales, but not
Northern Ireland.
A ________________ The British Isles is also a geographical term that
includes the two main islands of Great Britain and
B ________________ C ________________ Ireland , including the Republic of Ireland, where
people are Irish, not British, and over 6.000 little
islands around the UK. Far north are the Shetland
Islands; to the west the Hebrides and the Orkney
Islands are just off the most north-easterly point of
the UK. At the other end of the UK, south-west, are
the Isles of Scilly. And off the south-east coast of
England is the Isle of Wight, also nicknamed the
Ghost Isle or the Dinosaur Isle!
The UK flag, or ‘Union Jack’, is red, white and
blue and it includes the crosses of the English,
Scottish and Northern Irish flags, but not the
Welsh flag, a red dragon. There are symbols for
each country too: a red rose for England; a thistle
for Scotland; a shamrock for Northern Ireland; a
leek or a daffodil for Wales.
The population of the UK is over 63 million, with
over 53 million people in England, over 5 million
in Scotland, almost 2 million in Northern Ireland
and over 3 million in Wales.
London is the capital city of England and
the UK and it is a very international city with
residents from many different countries. Other
important English cities are Birmingham, Leeds,
Manchester and Liverpool. Edinburgh is the
capital of Scotland, Cardiff of Wales and Belfast
of Northern Ireland.

your answers.
Every year in the UK on November 5th people celebrate Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night. In 1605 Guy
Fawkes was part of a failed Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London and kill King
James I. He was caught, guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder in cellars under the Houses of Parliament,
arrested with other Catholic conspirators and taken to the Tower of London. They confessed before being
hanged.
People lit bonfires to celebrate the failure of the plot, and an Act of Parliament was passed to make the date
a day of thanksgiving for saving the king. The tradition of bonfires continued as part of the celebration and
gradually included the burning of an effigy of Guy Fawkes. Before Bonfire Night, children collect money for
fireworks, asking for ‘a penny for the guy’, a doll they make out of old clothes stuffed with straw or paper
to burn on the bonfire. People also put jacket potatoes, sausages and toasted marshmallows on the bonfire
and eat toffee apples. However the main attraction of the evening is the firework displays, which you can
see in the sky all around you. There are particularly good displays on the Thames in London; in Cambridge,
where there are fire dancers; and in Lewes, where a costumed parade carries 17 burning crosses through
the streets in memory of fallen martyrs.

Independence Day
1 Read the text regarding the celebrations of the 4th of July in
the United States.
On July 4th 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of

Independence in Philadelphia and the United States of America was born.
Since then, Independence Day, also known as Fourth of July, is celebrated
every year, but it only became a national holiday in 1870.
It’s the most popular holiday for outdoor barbecues with friends and
family and for hotdogs! Americans consume around 155 million hotdogs on
Independence Day, and lots of French fries! Other favourite dishes are apple
pie and ice cream and there are even watermelon eating competitions!
Food aside, Fourth of July is essentially a celebration of American patriotism.
There are American flags draped everywhere; people dressed up in red,
white and blue, or with the Star Spangled banner painted on their faces.
Towns and cities hold colourful parades with marching bands, people give
patriotic speeches and there are spectacular firework displays.
In Boston there is a live televised concert on the
river bank, Philadelphia has historic re-enactments
and readings from the Declaration, in Pennsylvania
there’s a candle festival, while other parts of the US hold
rodeos!
Baseball is a big part of Independence Day, with important
league games played and watched across the country.

The first Thanksgiving celebration was
in 1621 to thank Native Americans for
helping the Pilgrim Fathers survive the first winter in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
They probably ate fruit, vegetables and hunted game. In 1863 Thanksgiving Day
became a national holiday, and was set as the fourth Thursday in November in
1941.
Today it is less a religious act of thanksgiving and more sharing a great meal with
friends and family, but many people volunteer or give thanks for what they have.
The dinner is usually roast or deep-fried turkey with stuffing, potatoes, cranberry
sauce, corn on the cob, pumpkin pie, or macaroni cheese and pecan pie. There are
parades in many cities and the president of the USA pardons two turkeys out of the
46 million Americans eat each year.
