Section 7 bath

1. Read and translate the text

Bath is an unusual city because it was built for leisure and health. Most of its elegant houses were built in the eighteenth century, when Bath became a fashionable spa – a place where rich people came to drink the healthy water that rises up here from deep underground. The houses were built with the pale golden-coloured stone from the nearby hills. The work of artists in stone, both ancient and modern can be seen all over the city.

Some of the terraces in Bath were built in a crescent or circular shape. The Royal Crescent, the first terrace ever built as a crescent. The elegant classical buildings and broad streets replaced older houses.

You might think that Sally Lunn was a very important person. In fact she was a street seller of cakes and buns who invented a new kind of bun. Well, buns are eaten with tea, and tea is important – to the British.

Some of Bath's streets are closed to cars, so walking around, relaxation and pleasant conversation are as popular as they were in the eighteenth century. In those days the favourite meeting place – the social centre of Bath – was the Pump Room. Nowadays you can drink tea here in the elegant atmosphere of the eighteenth century.

The Pump Room was built over a spring, where natural hot water comes up from underground. This water contains many minerals which are good for you. Every day one million litres pour out of the ground at a temperature of 49 degrees centigrade.

The English were not the first to enjoy this warm, healthy water. Nearly two thousand years ago the Romans built hot baths, swimming pools, and a temple here. After the Romans left Britain, their buildings disappeared under new buildings and streets. But when the great Roman bath was found in 1878, its metal pipes were still working and its stone columns were still supporting the street above it.

The river in Bath is called the Avon – a common name for rivers in Britain. The bridge was inspired by a famous Italian bridge in Florence.

Near Bath you can visit beautiful gardens and classical country houses.
