England
England is bigger than the other counties. Foreigners often call everyone in the UK “English”, but the Irish, the Welsh and the Scots don’t like this. They are proud of their countries and they like being different. They look different, too. The Irish, the Welsh and the Scots are all Celts.
The British Isles lying to the north west of Europe include two large islands-Great Britain and Ireland and some five thousand small islands.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland occupies the Island of Great Britain, the northern part of Island of Ireland (the southern part of which is the Republic of Eire) and of number of small islands especially to the west of Scotland.
When people talk about Britain, they often use the worlds “the United Kingdom” or “the UK”. The countries in the United Kingdom are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
