National Symbols

Countries often have national symbols or emblems. Britain is usually shown as a lion or a bulldog. The USA has an eagle as its symbol. Australia uses a kangaroo.

Countries have their own national colours, too. These are usually the colours of the national flag. The patriotic colours in Britain and the USA are red, white and blue. Companies and political parties often use these colours to create a feeling of national pride.

The different parts of Britain have their own emblems, too. They are all plants. You can see them on pound coins: England has the rose, Scotland has the thistle, and Wales has the leek.

In the fifteenth century there was a long series of wars in England, which was called the Wars of the Roses. It was fought between the Dukes of Lancaster and the Dukes of York over who should be king. The emblem of Lancaster was the red rose and the emblem of York was the white rose. Eventually the Duke of Lancaster won, so the rose in the English emblem is the red rose.

Each country has its own colour, too. These are used, for example, for football or rugby teams. The colours for the different parts of Britain are: England – white, Scotland – blue, Wales – red. These colours come from the national flags. The English flag is white with a red cross. The Scottish flag has a white cross on a blue background. The Welsh flag shows a red dragon.

Travelling

 Travelling is very popular among students in Britain. They don’t have a lot of money, so it has to be cheap, but there are many ways of travelling at low cost.

The cheapest way to travel is hitchhiking, but this isn’t reliable and it can be dangerous, so it’s better to use normal public transport.

If you want to travel by train, you can get a student railcard. With this you can get train tickets at a discount. For international travel in Europe you can get an Interrail card.

If you want to travel to somewhere more exotic, you have to travel by air, but this isn’t as expensive as sounds. There are a lot of shops (called ‘bucket shops’) which sell cheap airline tickets to countries like the USA, Thailand and Australia. They advertise in magazines and newspapers. A lot of these tickets are standby tickets. This means that you haven’t got a reserved seat. You have to wait and see if the plane is full. So, you might have to spend a few days at the airport before you get on a flight.

Magazines often carry adverts for ‘overland’ tours especially to Africa and India, or Latin America. On these tours, you travel with a group in a mini-bus. It isn’t very comfortable and you have to share the cooking, but it’s a cheap way to see the parts of the world that most tourists never go to.

While British young people are travelling to Africa and the Far East, many young people from Australia and New Zealand travel to Britain. They get cheap airline tickets to London. Then they usually buy a used van and travel around Europe. You can usually recognise the young travellers from Oz because they often paint a kangaroo symbol somewhere on the van.

2. What cheap forms of transport are available?
