The UK including Scotland,England,Wales and Northern Ireland,so "English" is not as same as British.The British are the Scots,English,Welsh and Northern Irish.Because there are also millions of British people whose parents came from the Caribbean,India,Pakistan,Hong Kong and other places,many languages like Hindi,Urdu,Punjabi,Mandrian and Cantonese are spoken in Britain today.
A person's name sometimes tells you where he or she comes from.Mac or Mc is always either Scottish or Irish."O" is always Irish.Other surnames like Morgan and Jones are Welsh.
Most people in the UK have their own houses.On average,2.4 people live as a familyin one home in Britain.When children grow up,they usually leave for university or work and buy their own home.
Nowadays,people get married at a later age and many women do not want to have children at once.They prefer to do well at thier jobs first.Therefore,the number of births in Britainis falling.There are fewer marriages,but more divorces.
The best cooking is in good restaurants and hotels or at home,so people prefer to eat outor phone a local restaurant to bring you the food!There are many Indian and Chinese restaurants in every British town.Pubs are also popular with British people.They like to drink tea.That is anaverage of nearly 1040 cups of tea a year for eachperson.In the past,working families referred to "lunch" as "dinner."But now all of us call it lunch.Dinner has become a bigger meal in the evenings.
British people like to watch TV programs and go to DIY centers at weekends.Because they want their gardens to look nice,there are many DIY centers,like B&Q and garden centers.They also like to go to movies or musicals,like Titanic,Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
After reading this book ,I realize more about British life.UK is one of the riches country in the world.You can find something amazing in London,Manchester and some cities.
Living there certainly costs you a lot of money....lol...
