The people of Britain

    The "four nations" of Britain are :England , Wales,Scotland, Ireland.  Different nations has different culture .
For example : These nations has different delegate flag, plants, colour.  In fact, in UK the main language is
English. Outside of England there are also other official language, such as, Welsh (26% of the population of
Wales), Scottish Gaelic (6 million people) IrishGaelic (260,000 used ). The different area has the different
national day , but some national day will unify the celebration , eg. New year、Easter day.

    In my coumtry, we often call British people " 英国人". Most time, they didn't feel offended. In my
opinion, the people who live in England are fashion, and  industrial development, agricultural very
little. Bagpipes, plaid skirts, golf and whiskey is a sign of Scots. The irish person mainly develops the animal
husbandry and the tourism .
