3a. Read a letter from Alex's friend Finlay. Where is he from? Does he like his country? What is he writing about it?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your letter. It is great you are doing a project about Scotland. Here is some information to help you and your friends.

Scotland is a small country but it is very beautiful. It includes over 700 islands! Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom, along with England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It shares a border with England only. It is smaller than England, but larger than Wales and Ireland. Its area is about 80,000 sq / km. Its population is over 5 million people. The national symbol of Scotland is the Scottish thistle (see the picture). Does it grow in Belarus? Scotland is a country of mountains, lakes (we call them lochs) and forests... Have you heard of Loch Ness, home of our famous monster?

thistle ['θɪsl]

Scotland is also famous for golden eagles, tartans and bagpipe music... and it's the home of golf. I'm Scottish and I am very proud of my country!

Please write soon. Tell me something about Belarus. Good luck with your project!

Bye,

Finlay.
