1. Below is an article about the languages spoken in the UK. 1) Read through the article and fill in the table English is the main language spoken in the British Isles, including Ireland. There are few people who do not speak it as their first language, in fact, over 95% of the British population are monolingual English speakers, In_Wales, only about 21% of the population speak Welsh (a Celtic* language) as their first language, though nearly all of them also speak perfect English. The study of Welsh is now compulsory in many primary and secondary schools. Television and radio services in Wales give about half their time to Welsh language programmes. Most public signs are in Welsh as well as in English. In Scotland about 2% of the population speak Gaelic, another Celtic language. Scots is spoken by 30% of the Scottish population. In Northern Ireland about 5% of the population speak Irish Gaelic. There are also large numbers of community languages, brought into the UK by immigrant communities, which account for more than 5% of the population. Community languages include Bengali, Polish, Greek, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Hebrew, Korean, Italian and others. Many immigrants are bilingual. Many Indians, for example, speak both Hindi and English; many Chinese speak both Chinese and English. Many Turks speak English and Turkish. There are a number of different regional accents in the UK. Some people in London speak “Cockney", in Birmingham "Brum", in Newcastle “Geordie". There is also Standard English, which belongs to no particular region. It is the variety of English that is usually taught to foreigners.

My favourite holiday is the New Year's Day. On this day we have a beautifully decorated New Year tree at home. There are many goodies on the table. We have guests on this holiday or we go to visit our friends or relatives ourselves. I love the New Year's Eve. I dance, sing, get presents and have fun on this day. Sometimes I can go for a walk with my friends. We like to make a snowman in the yard. We do not go to sleep long, we see the New Year in, and watch TV. This holiday happens only once a year. So I'm waiting for it each time and I love it very much!

Мой любимый праздник - Новый Год. В этот день у нас дома стоит красиво украшенная новогодняя елка. На столе много вкусностей. У нас в этот праздник бывают гости или мы сами едем в гости к друзьям или к родственникам. Я люблю канун Нового Года. Я танцую, пою, получаю подарки и веселюсь в этот день. Иногда я могу прогуляться с друзьями. Нам нравится лепить снеговика во дворе. Мы долго не ложимся спать, встречаем Новый год и смотрим телевизор. Этот праздник бывает только раз в году. Так что я жду его каждый раз, и я люблю его очень!
