Scotland
Scotland is one of four parts of the GB. Scotland's area is more than half as big as England's. The main cities of the country are its capital Edinburgh and the main industrial center Glasgow.
Scottish towns look very different from English towns. Some words about Edinburgh. Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, is one of Britain’s most attractive cities. It’s a city for people who like to walk.
You are never far from green parks, gardens and hills - even in the main shopping streets. It’s a busy modern city, but its history is everywhere. At the top of the highest hill is located Edinburgh Castle. It was the home of Scotland’s royal family until 1603 when King James the 6th of Scotland became the king of England and moved to London. The road which begins at the castle and goes eastwards is called Royal Mile. At the other end of the Royal Mile is the Palace of Hollyroodhouse.
It was built by the Scottish king before Scotland and England were united to make Great Britain. Now it is a second home for the Queen or her children, who usually visit Edinburgh in the summer. When the royal family is not there you can visit the palace and see a lot of interesting things. There are nine hills in Edinburgh. They are long-dead volcanoes. From the tops of them you can see two bridges : the modern road bridges an the old rail bridges which has carried trains to the Highlands for more than a hundred years. The highlands of Scotland is mountainous and wild.
In the winter it’s white with snow but in the summer it becomes purple. Highlands are famous for the Scottish Olympics or the Highland games (it’s real name). These games are not only sporting competitions: music and different traditional games are very important too. While athletes throw the hammer at the one end of the arena, you can watch a dancing competition at the other end.
There is also a game for the strongest athletes - tossing the caber, which weights 60 kilos and is six metres long. These games are very popular in Highlands. Usually between the mountains are rivers and lakes. Scottish people like fishing very much, that’s why they say that Scottish rivers are good for two : fishing is one, the other is Scotch whisky. Whisky is made from water and barley. The method hasn’t changed for hundreds years. Scotch whisky is the best one. Scotland is also famous for it’s kilt, the most important part of national dress and bagpipes - the national instrument. I think that Scotland is a very beautiful country and if you visit it you shall never forget it.

<span>The Bedes liked the house which they had bought 1 three weeks before. It was standing2 on the hill and was3 in perfect condition."Now I feel4 quite happy," Gwen said5. "We have been living6 in the house for 3 weeks and I get7 more and more proud of it. I think8I can9 live in the house all my future life." James liked10 their new house very much too. He often sat11 in the old armchair looking12 into the fire. These were13 the happiest minutes in his life. He was watching14 the logs burning15 in the fire and was thinking16 he would be able to17 sit18 like that for a long time.</span>
<span>The Bedes had been19 in the house for twenty-two days when their first post arrived20. The postman brought21 three large envelopes. There was22 a letter from Gwen's sister. Gwen hoped23 she would read24 it after the postman went25 away, there were26 business papers for James in the second envelope, the third envelope was addressed27 to "Mrs Alison Ray". Gwen </span>wanted28 to give29 that letter to the postman, but the latter said30 that as the address had been written31 correctly somebody might32call33 on them later. He asked34 the Bedes to keep35 the letter for some days. He promised36 to return37 at the end of the week and said38 he would take39 the letter to the post-office if nobody asked40 for it.Gwen left41 the letter on the hall table but the following morning it disappeared42. Gwen decided43 that James had hidden44 it and asked if he had not touched45 the letter. "Who has taken46 the letter then? What will we tell47 the postman when he comes48? What all this means49?" worried50 Gwen.
