Разнообразие Британии стало темой праздника в этом году не случайно: Великобритания была образована 300 лет назад, в 1707 году, когда в ее состав вошли Англия, Шотландия и Уэльс. Впоследствии к ним присоединилась Северная Ирландия.

За последние десять лет мы наблюдали многочисленные перемены в отношениях между составными частями Соединенного Королевства. В Северной Ирландии протестанты и католики начали жить в мире; закончился конфликт, десятилетиями разрушавший регион. В Уэльсе происходит возрождение литературы и искусства на национальном валлийском языке. Шотландия переживает период быстрого экономического роста благодаря деволюции, то есть делегированию целого ряда властных полномочий шотландскому парламенту. На выборах, недавно в Шотландии, с небольшим преимуществом победила Шотландская национальная партия, выступающая за независимость Шотландии, и в итоге многие задумались о том, не стало ли это началом распада Соединенного Королевства.

My friend Nick is very busy and he doesn't have much time to spare. But he's got a lot of hobbies and interests.

Five years ago Nick was fond of collecting stamps. His hobby helped him to learn a lot about other countries and other peoples' traditions, the world's flora and fauna. Maybe that's why he was good at geography and biology at school.

He used to bring the albums to school and we examined his stamps with great interest and envy. Sometimes he exchanged stamps with his schoolmates.

When Nick was in the tenth form his parents bought him a compact disc player and Nick decided to collect compact discs. Today, he has got more than one hundred CDs of his favourite groups and singers! I think that he is very proud of his collection.

Every time Nick buys a new CD he carefully studies the information printed on disc booklets. He also tries to find out everything about the singers he likes. That's why he reads a lot of specialised magazines and books on the history of rock.

Nick never misses MTV shows — he thinks he must keep up with the news in the world of music. He says he likes all types of music except "rave".

He even writes letters to some fan-clubs in other countries, so he has to brush up his English. Nick never misses a concert of his favourite group. He brings his compact discs to the concert and asks the singers for their autographs.

But in spite of his new hobby, Nick sometimes sits in his room and looks through his albums of stamps (with his earphones on, of course).
