Look at these maps.

This is a United Kingdom,

and this is Japan.

Both are island nations.

Great Britain

and Honshu

are the main islands.

They are almost the same size.

But the United Kingdom is smaller than Japan.

 

The United Kingdom

has four

“countries”

England,

Wales,

Scotland

and Nothern Ireland.

England largest of the four.

Which is the larger,

Scotland or Wales?

Scotland is.

There are many other diffrrences.

In Wales

they have own language,

Welsh.

In Scotland

they have their own money.

There are even

“internatinal”

rugby games

among the countries.

 

Greensleeves and Home Sweet Home

come from England, don't they?

Yes. Which do you like better?

 I like Greensleeves better.

Some songs come from Scotland.

“Auld Lang Syne” 

is a Scottish folk song.

Right.

How about

Danny Boy?

That's from Ireland.

I like that song the best of all.
