This time l will talk about some information about people live in UK.
Firstly,someone konws that have four nations in the UK, Wales,Scotland,England and Lreland.But a part of people did not konw the difference between the four nations,They had four different flags Endland used St George's Cross,Wales used Dragon of Cadwallader ,then Scotland used St Andrew's Cross and Lion rampant,Lreland used St Patrick's Cross and Republic of Lreland to be thier flags.And in that class l getting a new information that is England luck plant is Rose , Wales is Leek and Daffodil ,And the famous plant in Scotland is Thistle , Shamrock is the country plant for Lreland.
Then ,let us talk about their languages , often they will speak english .But have some place some of them speak Celtic languages , Including Wales and highland Scotland people.And Lrish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh. People in the Germanic areas spoke Germanic dialects.
They have diffenrent in their clothes ,the kilt ,Scottish man like tartan pattern worn.but in other place of UK ,man did not like wear like this .And from the name we can kown where are they from ,'Mac'and 'Mc' in surnamesis always Scottish or Lrish ,if the surnames have a large number, like Davis ,Evans,Jones,Lloyd and so on that is Welsh.But the most common surname in UK is 'Smith'.
In my country ,people often call people live in UK 'ying guo ren'.That means English .l think in UK have many other nation people ,Chinese and Indian is the most of them.
