Engelskoppgave del 2 - trenger rettehjelp.

[Autzen]

Hei, alle sammen. Først og fremst må jeg takke for hjelpen jeg fikk på førstedel av engelskoppgaven min. Del to er litt lenger, men jeg håper forsatt noen vil ta en titt på den. All hjelp er hjertelig velkommen!

Jeg tror ikke det er mye med skrivefeil, men sikkert endel med gramatiskefeil eller dårlige formuleringer. Takk for all hjelp.

 

 

 

Great Britain is the largest island on the British isles. It’s also the largest island in Europe and the eighth largest in the world.  It lies to the South East for Norway.  Great Britain was formed around 9000 years ago at the end of Pleistocene ice age. There are over 100 smaller islands and islets surrounding Great Britain. 

 

England mainly consists of lowlands, but there’s mountain terrain in the north and in the north west.  However, there’s no mountains higher than 1000 meters in England. The two most important rivers are Thames and Severn. London is England’s largest town and also it’s the main capital.

 

Scotland got the most varied geography. It has lowlands in the south and in the east, and highlands in the north and west. The highest mountain in Great Britain is Ben Nevis. Ben Nevis is 1344 meters above mean sea level.  It lies in Scotland.  There are over 800 islands that belongs to Scotland. For example Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland.  The largest town is Glascow – however – Edinburgh is the main capital.

Wales consists mainly of mountain terrain. The highest mountain is Snowdown at 1085 m above mean sea level. Cardiff is the main capital and largest town in Wales.

 

Great Britain has always been a destination for refugees and immigrants. After 1945 most of the immigrants coming to Britain were born in Ireland. The Irish immigrated mainly to Britain for searching after work. Great Britain had offered Irland unlimited freedom of movement, simply because England needed cheap labour force. 32% of the Irish lived in the south-east of  England and 32 lived in the London area.

Great Britain suffered a lot of damage caused by World War 2. That’s why they were so open for immigration – they needed workers for reconstruction. They got young people from the former colonies of Pakistan and India to immigrant to Britain. They enlisted them to work for their colonial mother country. This lead to a chain migration, more and more people from the former colonies immigrated to Britain. It didn’t take long before relatives and friends followed the young workers. Unluckily, only women, children and old people remained in their villages.

All this immigration created a big hostility against the immigrants. Because a lot of them were unemployed or had bad jobs – the conditions for the immigrants were terrible.

 

Class distinction is rather important for the British. The population is divided into several different social classes. Today it’s not as sharp as it used to be, but there’s still lines dividing people into social classes. You would think that your wealth decides which class you belong to, but family background and lifestyle are just as important. It’s basically divided into upper class, middle class and working class ,but today it’s way more complicated.

People is quite aware of their social class and choose their education, newspaper and where they go for holidays based on their social class. It’s so horrible that some wealthy upper class people are only looking for people with a impressing family background to marry. Just so their upper-class lifestyle can be “complete”. Personally, I think it’s pathetic that some people are so obsessed with class distinctions in this modern time.

 

As The Sex Pistols front man and British punk-icon, Johnny Rotten once said: I wanna see some history!

Great Britain has a magnificent and interesting history, but there’s so much that I’ll only present history from the prehistoric ages to the fall of the roman Empire.

There have been living people on the British Isles for thousands of years. The reason for this is that the Isles were not affected by the ice age in the Northern Europe. Therefore settlers could arrive at the coast on the south-east, without any major problems. Old burials and monuments prove that there have existed prehistoric settlements there. For example, Stonehenge, which is a circle of huge stones. People believe that Stonehenge is about four thousands years old.

 

About 1500 years later , the Celts came to England. They came from the European continent and were Celtic tribes, and spread all over the Isles. The Celts didn’t live alone, they mixed with other settlers who already lived there. Later, the Celts were pushed out to the edges of the isles by other invaders. That’s the reason why Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Gaelic are based on the language that the Celts spoke.

 

The Romans invaded the British Isles in AD 43, named it Britannia, and made it a providence of the Roman Empire. They occupied Britain for nearly 400 years. They built the 74,56 mile long Hadrian’s Wall in north of England, named after the Roman emperor. The wall represented the border of Roman Britain and the Romans needed it to keep unwanted tribes from their empire. When the Roman Empire became weaker and close to collapse, the Romans left Britain.

Rød tekst fra toppen:

1 Isles, stor I

2 South-West of Norway?

3 There are

4 Uten s, belong

5 Du mener vel Glasgow?

6 An? istedet for a..

 

Prøv å ikke repeter ordene så mye, vi vet at det er England og Scotland det er snakk om, og ordene blir sagt om og om igjen rimelig ofte, ihvertfall i starten.

Noe komma feil også, mellomrom før komma osv..
