A I am proud of being Welsh. We have our own history, language and cul-ture. I've got a Welsh flag on my wall and jeans with the Welsh dragons* on. The best thing about Wales is its natural beauty. Mid-Wales, the green capitalof Wales, has the famous Snowdonia National Park.* Ten million people visit andenjoy it every year. In Mid-Wales there are more sheep than people! Cardiff, thecapital of Wales, is famous for a few things but the most significant item is theMillennium Stadium,* the largest football ground in the UK. And it's fun whenthere are rugby and football matches and concerts. But most of all I love it whenwe all get together at festivals of music, singing and poetry like the RoyalNational Eisteddfod* of Wales. (Robert)

B I am Scottish and I am proud of it. Scotland is a country of natural beau-ty. It is famous for its Highlands,* pretty lakes and green forests. In Edinburgh,the capital of Scotland, is a great city where you can see the most significant itemslike the National Gallery of Scotland* and the Royal Botanic Garden.* One ofthe best things that really make my country great is the Wallace monument,*which is packed with exciting items about Sir William Wallace, the nationalhero of Scotland. I personally love the Edinburgh Festival Fringe* with its amaz-ing performances and where we all feel like one big happy family! (Andrew)

C I am Irish and I am proud of my country. I love its natural beauty, the lan-guage, which is cool and sounds really nice, and the people that are very nice,too. My country is famous for its beautiful legends including the story of theGiant's Causeway.* The Giant's Causeway is one of the greatest natural sightsin the world which is fun for everyone to explore. I live in Belfast, an amazingcity and the capital of Northern Ireland. For me, the most beautiful attractionin Belfast is Belfast Botanic Gardens* with its opera performances and concerts. But the thing that is recognised as Irish all over the world is St Patrick's Day*!I love it when we celebrate this day by organising parades, eating Irish food andwearing green-coloured clothes.
