In the 16th century, the nearby country of Wales was joined to the Kingdom of England. Later, in the 18th
century, the country Scotland was joined to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of Ireland was added to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Finally, in the 20th
century, the southern part of Ireland broke away from the UK, which resulted in the full name we have today:
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the shortened name: “the United Kingdom” or “the UK”. People from the UK are called “British”, which means the UK is also often referred to as Britain or Great Britain.

Reading and Thinking
The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defence. However, they also have
some differences. For example, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different
education systems and legal systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and
national dishes. And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
as wellas 为复合并列连词，用来连接两个并列的成分，如名词、形容词、动词、介词，通常不位于句首。表示"也；和…一样；不但…而且”，因此，它们通常可以互换，as well as在具体的语句中强调的是前一项，后—项只是顺便提及。因此在连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前一项保持一致。此处连接谓语动词

Reading and Thinking
The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence
of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next,
the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses. The Vikings came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new
vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK.
