Wales is not a very big country with a population of about three million people. There are two official languages in Wales – Welsh and English, both of which are taught in schools.Much of Wales’s landscape is mountainous, especially in the north and central regions. The highest mountain is Snowdon. There are also a lot of beautiful lakes in the country. These are Wales’s picturesque landscapes that attract tourists from all over the world.Wales is primarily an agricultural country. There aren’t many big cities in Wales. The capital of the country is Cardiff, which is considered to be the largest media centre in the UK outside of London. There is a Roman castle and a modern shopping centre in the city as well as a cathedral and university. Cardiff is also an industrial city.Wales has its own interesting culture including language, customs, holidays and music. The country is represented by the symbol of the red Welsh Dragon, which is depicted on the national flag. The flag of Wales, brought to Britain by Romans, is one of the oldest in the world.

The Smiths were in their dining-room.There were five of them: Mr. Smith, the head of the family, Mrs. Smith, his wife, and their children: John, Ann and Kitty. They were having breakfast. Mrs. Smith was putting some cornflakes on the boy's plate. The elder daughter was passing the sugar to her father. Mrs. Smith asked John if he would had sugar on his cornflakes. John refused, because he wanted some more milk instead. Then Mrs. Smith asked Kitty why she wasn't eating anything, despite Ann was already finishing her cornflakes. Kitty answered that she did not like cornflakes and she was just thirsty. Then she asked her mum to give her some tea and cakes. Mr. Smith offered Kitty to be a good girl and to have some more cornflakes, because their family was going to have bacon and eggs, so after that Kitty could get her tea with toast and marmalade. After that Mr. Smith asked his wife to give him a little more cornflakes. Mrs. Smith passed the plate to her husband and asked him if he would have bacon and eggs. Mr. Smith answered that he would have it, and, additionally, he would have a nice strong cup of tea. Then he noticed that he had to leave in a quarter of an hour or so. The father was already having his cup of tea while the children were still talking over their cornflakes.
