Ask some of the students to retell the text. A sample version:When people speak of the UK, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are often used. England and Wales were linked together first, which happened in the 13th century AD. Then James, Scotland King, united the three countries to form Great Britain in 1603 peacefully. Later on, the three countries intended to get Ireland connected to found the UK. However, the southern part broke away and formed its own government. So only Northern Ireland became part of the UK. The four countries, of which England is the largest, work together as a whole but they have developed different educational and legal systems. England can be roughly divided into three zones, the South of England, which is nearest to France, the Midland and the North, which is nearest to Scotland. Most of the population settles in the south while most of the large industrial cities lie in the Midlands and the North of England.London, the capital city of the UK, includes the greatest historical treasure of all with lots of museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. Some early invaders have influenced it a lot from roads, towns, castles, language, and so on to government. Visitors will find the evidence here and there around London if they keep their eyes open.3. Ask the students to analyze the writing techniques of the text: What is the writing style? What is the main idea of the text? Sample answers:1. Writing styleThe text is written in narrative style, which introduces to the learners how the UK was formed geographically and historically, mainly dealing with England and the other three countries, which not only work together as a union in many aspects but also develop their own administrative systems. It also introduces the four invaders who influenced the UK language, place-names, vocabulary and system of government.2. Main ideaThe text mainly explains to the learners how the four countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland formed the UK, and how they work together and how they are different. It also introduces how England can be divided into three different zones geographically and how London was influenced by some of the four invaders culturally and historically and how the evidence of the invasions can be found around the countryside of Great Britain.Step HomeworkAsk the students to: 1.
