Dear Jack.

Hi! How are you? Sorry I've taken so long to answer,
but my computer broke down last week, and I only managed to get it
working today. Anyway, I'm really glad your sister is visiting London.

The
best place for her to go shopping is Cam
en Town in north-west London.
There is a huge variety of colourful indoor and outdoor flea markets,
international food stalls, clothes stalls, music stalls and street
vendors. There's nothing you can't find at Camden Market, from vintage
clothing to antiques, all at bargain prices! I was there last Saturday
with my friend Jill. She bought a beautiful embroidered handbag that
goes with all her clothes and I bought a pair of 70s style second-hand
jeans, some rare comic books for my collection, and a small leather
purse, all for £15. Can you believe it? After our shopping, Jill and I
enjoyed some Chinese rice noodles and sweet and sour chicken at one of
the food stalls............................................

England is the largest and the richest country of Great Britain. The capital of England is London but there are other large industrial cities, such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and other famous and interesting cities such as York, Chester, Oxford and Cambridge. Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in Southwest England. It measures 80 metres across and made with massive blocks of stone up to four metres high. Why it was built is a mystery.

Not far from Stonehenge stands Salisbury Cathedral. It is a splendid example of an English Gothic Cathedral; inside there is one of four copies of Magna Charta and the oldest clock in England. Chester is very important town in the north-west of England. In the past it used to be a Roman fort; its name comes from the Latin word castra, meaning "fortified camp". In Chester there is a famous museum which contains over 5000 ancient and modern toys.

Oxford is the home of the oldest university of England. The most famous college is Christ Church. It has a great hall which was built during the reign of Henry VIII and its chapel has become the Cathedral of Oxford. Cambridge is the home of Britain's second oldest university. York was the capital of Northern England. It is one of the best preserved medieval cities of Europe. It was built by Romans, conquered by Anglo-Saxons and ruled by the Vikings. Birmingham is often called the "City of 1,500 trades" because of the great variety of its industries

People in countries outside the
British Isles often call the inhabitants ' of the United Kingdom
English. This is incorrect, for there are at least four main
nationalities, the English, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish. These
four nationalities each have their own language and culture.


The population of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is almost fifty-six
million. A little more than seven million people live in the London
area. Britain is mainly an industrial country, and most of the people
live in large towns. The lands which produce nothing, especially the
hilly country in Northern Scotland, have almost no population.

Great Britain is highly
industrialized, this was the country in which the earliest
developments of modern industry took place.

London, the capital, is one of many
important industrial centers. Lots of things such as clothes, food,
planes and cars are made in and around London.

Birmingham is the biggest town
in an important industrial area near the centre of England. Machines,
cars and lorries are made in this area. TV sets and radios are also
produced there.

Manchester in the north-west of
England is the centre of the cotton textile industry, one of
Britain's most important producers of computers and electronic
equipment.


Coal-mining is important in
South Wales, but many of the mines5 there have been closed. There is
much unemployment in South Wales today. A smaller industrial area is
situated in North Wales, where steel6 and chemicals are produced.



Ship-building is an important
industry in the United Kingdom. The main ship-building centers are
London, Glasgow in Scotland, Belfast in Northern Ireland and some
others.



Sheep can be seen in many parts
of England and Scotland, and there are a lot of cattle-farms and
farms where milk, butter and cheese are produced. But only half of
the food the country needs is produced by British agriculture.



Wheat is grown in the east of
England. Vegetables are grown in all parts of England, especially in
the south. Potatoes are grown everywhere on the British Isles.



Some kinds of fruit, especially
apples, can grow in the south where the temperature is higher and
there are more hours of sunshine than in the northern regions.
