What to See in the UK
There are a lot of interesting places in Great Britain, which are worth
visiting. One of the most famous and mysterious archaeological sites of
Great Britain is Stonehenge. The huge stones of Stonehenge were
transported from Wales and set up in a circle on Salisbury Plain. One of
the mysteries is how it was ever built with the technology of that time.
It was used by the Druids for ceremonies marking the passing of the
 seasons. Nowadays every year thousands of young people go to
Stonehenge to take part in the midsummer Druid festival, but only a
small number of people are allowed near the circle of stones. Another
mysterious place is Loch Ness, one of the lakes in Scotland, where
some people think a large monster lives. The first recorded sighting of
Nessie was in the sixth century. But despite scientific expeditions,
underwater exploration and millions of tourist photographs, the
monster has resisted all attempts to prove — or disprove — her
existence. The monster has made Loch Ness the most famous lake in
the world. Others are longer, wider and deeper, few are more beautiful,
but none has monster can rival Nessie. The Lake District is the largest
National Park in England. It is situated on the north — west side of the
Pennine system and contains plenty of beautiful lakes which gave it its
name. More picturesque and diverse scenery can be found here than in
any other area of Britain. For the lover of outdoor life, the Lake District
has almost everything. Make your own memories on foot if you can,
when the June days are long, the clouds are high and the hills are free.
Perhaps then you may say that the Lake District is the loveliest spot
that man has ever found. Britain is known to be the garden kingdom.
There are a lot of extraordinary gardens and parks. Britain’s first Safari
Park in Longleat is famous for its exotic animals and the world’s
largest Maze (labyrinth). The Maze was planted in 1975. It consists of
over 1.5 miles pathways flanked by yew hedges.
2) Answer the following questions.
1. Why are the mentioned places considered mysterious ones?
2. Are there any mysterious places in Ukraine? Name them.
3. What was Stonehenge used for?
4. Why is the Lake District considered to be the loveliest spot in Great
