COMING TO BRITAIN


Слайд 2

It is likely that everyone taking part in this lesson is

descended from immigrants - it is just a question of how far back you go.



Слайд 3 Travelling bands of Celts were the first to invade Britain. They

brought with them new methods of forging metal, making things from iron ploughs and horse shoes to delicate jewellery.



Слайд 4 From 43 AD until the end of the 4th Century the

Romans settled and integrated with local tribes.  


They brought with them their engineering and road construction skills, and built bridges, baths and heating systems.



Слайд 5 The Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes colonised

Southern England, establishing new settlements and cultivating the land.



Слайд 6 The Vikings were superb boat builders. They introduced their heroic tales

to Northern England and East Anglia, and possibly brought the game of chess.



Слайд 7



The Normans conquered Britain in 1066, and imposed a legal and

administrative system much of which still exists today.



Слайд 8
Medieval Britain benefited from the immigration of Jewish businessmen, scholars and

doctors.



Слайд 9 In the 16th century the Huguenots, fleeing from religious persecution in

France, settled in London, Norwich and Canterbury. They brought their skills of silk weaving and silver-smithing.



Слайд 10 In Victorian times the need to transport goods to and from

the mills led to a rapid expansion of the transport system - work that was undertaken by labourers from Ireland.



Слайд 11 Thousands of citizens from across the British Empire fought for Britain

during the two world wars. At the end of the WW11 there was a shortage of workers, and many who had fought for Britain came to live here.



Слайд 12 Doctors, nurses, teachers, bus drivers, factory workers etc. came from countries

across the empire to help re-build Britain.



Слайд 13 Nowadays where there is a shortage of dentists, doctors, builders, hotel

workers or cleaners, it is often people from Eastern Europe who come to fill the gap.



Слайд 14 Throughout the ages people have come to Britain, fleeing from poverty

or war.
In many cases they have been desperate, and prepared to take enormous risks.



Слайд 15
So what is so great about Britain, that people want to

live here?

Слайд 20 So we turn full circle. Perhaps Britain is a Great country

to live in because of the influence of all the many different individuals, groups, races and cultures that have come here.


They have established our systems of government, contributed to our pursuit of knowledge, added to our wealth, commerce and industry, and shaped our music, art, sport and diet.
