What comes to your mind when you think about Great Britain?
Great Britain is a country of the most modern technologies and the most ancient
traditions. It hides some great mysteries though it tries to become opener to the world.
When I think about Great Britain I don’t see one country. I see many countries.
One of them is an ancient land of Stonehendge, with barbarian kingdoms of Pics and
Scots. Somewhere in the North of the country lives a monster – the famous Loch Ness
Monster, which then probably was a baby. I also see Robin Hood and his merry men
in Sherwood forest. I see monks and dukes riding here and there. I also see William
Wallace who fought for the freedom of Scots and won sp many battles.
At the same time I see the modern Britain, with its industrial cities and calm
country houses, with sheep Britain – the queen of seas and overseas, ruling colonies
in all parts of the world – in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. And I see Britain –
the centre of the Commonwealth, the Britain whose most popular dish id chicken
curry.
I see the Britain of Sherlock Holmes and of Queen Victoria. And I see the
Britain of Lady Diana. I see the Britain under the German bombs – and the peaceful
countryside with its pubs and golf fields.
