English traditions.

Every country and every nation has its own traditions and customs. The British are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up.

There are numerous royal traditions in Britain, some are ancient, others are modern. Some ceremonies are rather formal, such as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham palace, Trooping the Colour, the State opening of the Parliament. It seems strange but the Queen has two birthdays. She is the only person in Britain with two birthdays. The Queen’s actual birthday is celebrated on April 21-st.

The official birthday is on the second Saturday in June. This day is famous for a ceremony called Trooping the Colour, a beautiful parade of the Queen’s soldiers. At the front of the parade they carry the regiment’s flag or colour, in other words, they troop the colour.

The Queen’s Christmas speech is a modern custom. The Queen makes a speech on radio or TV. The speech is connected with the events of the past year.

There is a very special royal tradition. On the river Thames there are hundreds of swans.

Traditionally, a number of these beautiful large white birds belong to the Queen. In July, when the young swans are about two months the Queen’s swan – keeper marks them. This unusual custom is called swan-upping.

To this day a British family prefers a house with a fireplace and a garden to a flat in a modern house with central heating. Most British love gardens. People all over the world know the saying “The Englishman’s home is his castle”. They say that English people keep to their traditions even in meals. Englishmen are very fond of porridge. They eat porridge with milk and sugar for breakfast. The English are tea – drinkers. They usually drink tea with milk many times a day.

Some British traditions are strange, some are funny but they are all interesting.

Travelling.

People travel on business or for pleasure. Thousands of people spend their holidays travelling.

There are many ways of travelling: by air, sea, train, car. Travelling is very interesting and useful because you get to know our beautiful nature and people. I always enjoy picturesque places, monuments of history and culture.

Many people prefer travelling by air as it is the most convenient, comfortable and quickest means of travelling. If you travel to Britain by air you will arrive in the southeast because the main passenger ports and airports are situated there. Heathrow Airport is the biggest airport in the UK and the busiest airport in the world. It is about 30 miles to the south. Heathrow has 28 million passengers a year and Gatwick has about 10 million.

If you are not sea – sick you can travel by sea or a river. But this is the most expensive way of travelling.

A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and fields through windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.

People who live in big cities use various means of communication to get from one place to another.

Do you know what means of communication Londoners use? Londoners use the underground railway. They call it “the tube”. London’s underground is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863.

As for me I prefer travelling on foot. Fresh air does people a lot of good. You can climb a mountain, walk in a forest and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Music In Our Life.

People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. For example, folk music appeared long ago but it is still alive. There are many local performers, choirs, and folk groups in Russia. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. However, this style also includes music being written now. So we may speak of modern classical music, too. Rap is a modern style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. Tastes differ. So people’s musical interests range from pop and rock music to classical music and opera.

My favourite style of music is pop music because it is breathtaking and full of energy. It helps to relax when I’m tired and entertains me when I’d like to have fun. My favourite group is “Ivanushki-international”. Their cheerful tunes made them popular and one of the most successful groups. When I have free time, I can’t help listening to their records.

It’s a pity that many young people like to listen only to modern music. As for me, I enjoy to listen to classical music, too. It gives me delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. The music I hate is heavy metal. Though some young people are fond of this style of music, it is not to everyone’s taste. To my mind, too loud music can destroy our ears.

It goes without saying that music plays a very important role in people’s lives. It reflects our mood and emotions. Music appeals to our h
