I. Read and translate the text into Ukrainian. Londoners
London is so large that many Londoners think of themselves as residents of Soho, Chelsea or Hampstead. The districts have their special characters. Chelsea is known for its artists and Soho for its famous restaurants. According to tradition, the only "real" Londoners are cockneys. A cockney is a Londoner born within the sound of Bow Bells of the church in the City. Cockneys are known for their unusual accent, which can be heard in the poor districts.
London attracts many new residents from outside Britain. Today about a million Londoners are immigrants. Most immigrants have grouped together. Soho has many people of French and Italian ancestry.
Most Londoners are members of Protestant Churches. London's immigrants include many members of other churches and faiths.
Most Londoners live in suburban communities in comfortable single-family houses with gardens. Most of the families own their homes. Poor families and immigrants live in rented houses and apartments. In the 1970's, a large housing development, called the Barbican /An Outer Defence Work/, was constructed along the City's northern edge. Barbican provides living quarters for about 6,500 people.
London has 640 secondary schools and some famous public schools for boys - Harrow, Westminster and St. Paul's. University of London, with 65,000 students is the largest nation's university. The British Open University offers instruction through radio, television and written correspondence.
Many Londoners enjoy going to street markets of Petticoat Lane, Berwick in Soho, and Portobello Road near Kensington Gardens.
Soccer /football/ is the most popular sport in England. 12 professional teams play on Saturdays from August through April. The championships are held in May at Wembley Stadium which seats 100,000 spectators.
Many teams in London play rugby from September through April. International rugby matches are held at the Twickenham Rugby ground in Richmond upon Thames.
Cricket is a popular sport played in spring and summer. Major matches take place at Lord's Cricket Ground, west of Regent's Park.
Londoners also enjoy golf, horse racing, and tennis. The Crystal Palace National Sports Center in Bromley has facilities for many sports. The famous annual Wimbledon Tennis Tournament takes place in June and July at Wimbledon Park. London has 2,300 betting shops, where people place bets on various sports events.
In the evening, Londoners enjoy watching television at home or a film at one of 200 cinemas of London. Many people spend the evening at their neighborhood pub. London has about 5,600 pubs. The West End is the home of famous private clubs. Politicians and businessmen meet in these clubs for meals and conversation.
The social problems of London include poverty, unemployment, crime, and drug addiction. Many young people in the slum areas turn to shoplifting and drugs.
