***Zara's Visit***


Hi!

Today I'm going to talk about a woman who came to our college to give a talk.
The girl is called Zara and comes frm Scotland. She come to talk about the United Kingdom.
She told us that the United Kingdom was formed with 4 countries: Scontland, Northern Irland, Wales and England.
We also talked about London as we had recently vised the English capital wich we found fascinating. We talked about the other capitals of the United Kingdom: Glasgow, Belfast and Cardiff.
Then we tolked about the different types of food and traditions from the capitals within the United Kingdom.
In my opinionit was an interesting chat to find out about thedifferent cultures within the United Kingdom.
