Additional task

I. Read the text and find answers to the following questions:

1) Where is Wales situated?

2) Has it always been governed by England?

3) What language is used in the country?

Wales

Wales is the country in the west of Great Britain. It is main­ly a mountainous land with a chiefly agricultural economy and an industrial and coal-mining area in the south.

Since 1536, Wales has been governed by England and the heir to the throne of England has the title of Prince of Wales, but Welsh people have strong sense of identity. There is a Welsh National party which wants independence from the United Kingdom. In the towns and villages of North Wales, many people speak English only as a second language. Their first language is Welsh. At the local primary schools children have nearly all their lessons in Welsh. So, the population is bilingual. It is not a problem for children to learn two languages at the same time.

Welsh is an ancient Celtic language, similar to Breton, spo­ken in Brittany, France. In the 60's Welsh was given equal status with English as an official language and is used in the law courts. Now, only twenty per cent of all Welsh people speak Welsh. The reason is that in the nineteenth century people thought that Welsh language was an uncivilized language and, if you wanted to be successful in life, you had to learn English, the language of the British Empire. At the beginning of the twen­tieth century, many English and Irish people moved to South Wales to work in the coalmines and steel works. They did not speak Welsh and did not learn Welsh. So, English day by day pushed Welsh away.
