A. Hi everybody! I've never been abroad, but this year I'm going to school in the UK. What places could you advise me to visit?

James 007. The great thing about Great Britain is that you can see here an amazing variety of nature, ranging from captivating mountains and grassy hills, picturesque valleys and plains, purple moorlands and velvet grasslands to marvellous rivers and lakes, green forests and islands, and, of course, the big, great sea. There's so much to see! You have to be very selective (избирательным).

Cutey. I would recommend different parts of the UK. It should be the Highlands in Scotland, the Giant's Causeway¹ ['dʒaɪənts 'kɔ:zweɪ] in Northern Ireland, Snowdonia [snəʊ'dəʊniə] in Wales and the Lake District in England.

Em. You're absolutely right. I would strongly advise you to go to the Lake District in the Cumbrian Mountains. I was there last summer. It's a National Park and one of the most popular tourist attractions in England. Lake Windermere ['wɪndəmɪə] is an excellent place for boating. It's the largest natural lake in England – 16.9 km long, 1,609m wide and 67m deep. I'm sure you'll enjoy the valleys, lakes and mountains. The views are absolutely marvellous!

A. It sounds great! Thanks, folks [fəʊks].

James 007. By all means you ought to go to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. From the 1700s it became widely known as the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World and visitors began coming to the fascinating array [ə'reɪ] (массив) of over 40,000 basalt ['bæsɔ:lt] columns ['kɒləmz]. For centuries countless visitors have marvelled at the mystery of the Giant's Causeway. The amazing symmetry ['sɪmɪtri] of the columns has always intrigued [ɪn'tri:gd] the visitors. To walk on the Giant's Causeway is to voyage back in time.

Cutey. You have a wide choice now, A., but I would like to advise you to go to Snowdonia in Wales. Nowhere else (нигде ещё) in Britain will you find such a variety, in such a compact area, as you will in Snowdonia in Wales. There are many places to see and things to do in Snowdonia, so by all means go and enjoy the mountains, beaches, moorlands, forests, lakes, valleys, castles and steam (паровые) railways.

A. I'm already fascinated! Thank you, everybody.
