When people think about Britain，they probably think of England-the Royal（王室的）Family，the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. But there are also Scotland and Wales！Scottish and Welsh people are very proud of their country and nationality. When people ask me where I come from，I always say I'm Scottish.

I think people sometimes imagine that we all live in beautiful houses in the countryside. Well，my aunt lives on a farm，but these days houses in the countryside can be very expensive. Most people live in towns，but it's true that houses in Britain nearly always have a garden. British people love gardening.

Many foreigners think that Britain is cold and it rains all the time. This isn't true！We often have great summers here. The best weather is in the south and，in the summer，the beaches near my home are always busy.

We don't have tea or sandwiches every day at five o' clock. But when we're on holiday in Cornwall, we sometimes have a "cream tea". Delicious! And it's true that you can find some fantastic cakes here-my favorite is chocolate cake.
