T E X T . THE BRITISH ISLES

The British Isles consist of two main islands: Great Brit­ ain and Ireland. These and over five hundred small islands are known collectively as the United Kingdom of Great Brit­ ain and N orthern Ireland. Their total area is some 94, 250 square square m iles.1 Great Britain proper com prises Eng­ land, W ales and Scotland. The southern part of the isle ot Ireland is the Irish Republic (or Eire).

Britain is comparatively small, but there is hardly a coun try in the w orld w here such a variety of scenery can b^ found in so small a compass. There are wild desolate moun tains in the northern Highlands of Scotland — the home of the deer and the eagle — that are as lonely as any in Norway. There are flat tulip fields round the Fens2 — a blaze o! colour in spring, that would make you think you were in Hoi land. W ithin a few miles of M anchester and Sheffield you can be in glorious heather-covered moors.3

O nce the British Isles were part of the m ainland of Eu rope — the nearest point is across the Strait of Dover, where the chalk cliffs of Britain are only twenty-two miles from those of France.

1 94, 250 square miles: this is about the same si/e as New Zealand о half the size of France.

2 the Fens: low marshy land with lots of waterways (Фенленл)

3 moors (pi), moor: an area of open waste land; moors in England an с Scotland are often used for preserving game.

The seas round the British Isles are shallow. The N orth Sea is nowhere more than 600 feet deep, so that if St. Paul's Cathedral were put down in any part of it some of the cathe­ dral would still be above water, This shallowness is in some ways an advantage. Shallow water is warmer than deep water

and helps to keep the shores from extrem e cold. It is,

too,

the hom e of m illions of fish, and m ore than a million

tons

are caught every year.

You have noticed on the map how deeply indented

the

coast line is. This indentation gives a good supply of splen­ did harbours for ships; and you will note, too, that owing to the shape of the country there is no point in it that is more than seventy miles from the sea — a fact that has greatly fa­ cilitated the export of m anufactures and has m ade the En­ glish race a sea-loving one.

On the north-w est the coasts are broken by high rocky cliffs. This is especially noticeable in north-w est Scotland, where you have long w inding inlets (called “lochs”) and a great many islands.

In S cotland you have three distinct regions. T here is, firstly, the Highlands, then there is the central plain or Low­ lands. Finally there are the southern uplands, “ the Scott country,”4 with their gently rounded hills w here the sheep wander. Here there are more sheep to the square mile than anywhere in the British Isles.

In England and Wales all the high land is in the west and north-west. The south-eastern plain reaches the west coast only at one or two places — at the Bristol C hannel and by the mouths of the rivers Dee and Mersey.

In the north you find the Cheviots5 separating England from S cotland, the P ennines going down E ngland like a

4 “the Scott country”: a hilly country in the south-east of Scotland where Sir Walter Scott (1777 - 1832), the famous British poet and novelist, lived.

s the Cheviots (the Cheviot Hills): a wool-producing country in Britain. The Cheviot breed of sheep has given its name to a woollen cloth of high quality.

backbone and the Cumbrian mountains of the Lake District,6 one of the loveliest (and the wettest) parts of England. In the west are the Cambrian mountains which occupy the greater part of Wales.

The south-eastern part of England is a low-lying land with gentle hills and a coast which is regular in outline, sandy or muddy, with occasional chalk cliffs, and inland a lovely pat­ tern of green and gold — for m ost of E ngland's w heat is grown here — and brown plough-land with pleasant farms and cottages in their midst. Its rich brown soil is deeply culti­ vated — m uch of it is under wheat; fruit-growing is exten ­ sively carried on. A quarter of the sugar used in the country comes from sugar-beet grown there, but the most im portant crop is potatoes.

The position of the m ountains naturally determ ined the direction and length of the rivers, and the longest rivers, ex­ cept the Severn and Clyde, flow into the North Sea, and even the Severn flows eastward or south-east for the greater part of its length.

The rivers of Britain are of no great value as water-ways — the longest, the Thames, is a little over 200 miles — and few of them are navigable except near the mouth for anything but the smaller vessels.

In the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey, Tyne, Clyde, Tay, Forth and Bristol Avon7 are some of the greatest ports.

{From “Essential English for Foreign S tudents” by С. E. Eckersley, Book 3, Lnd., 1997. Adapted)

6 the Lake District:a beautiful place that has become famous thanks to a distinguished trio of poets — William Wordsworth (1770—1850), Samuel Coleridge (1772 —1834) and Robert Southey (17741843} — who made their homes there. (“Lake poets” is the name that was given to them.)

7 There are several rivers in Britain that bear the name of Avon. The longest is the Bristol Avon flowing into the Bristol Channel, but best known throughout the world is the one flowing into the Severn. On its banks, in Stradford-on-Avon, the greatest English poet William Shakespeare (15641616) was born and spent his youth.

M em ory Work

The sea is calm to-night,

The tide is full, the moon lies fair

Upon the Straits; — on the French coast, the light Gleams, and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night air!

Only, from the long tine of spray

W here the ebb meets the moon-blanch'd sand, Listen! you hear the grating roar

Of pebbles which the waves suck back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand,

Begin, and cease, and then again begin, W ith tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in.

(From “Dover B each”

by M atthew A rnold (1822 — 1888)
