Every nation and every country has its own traditions and customs. In Britain
traditions play a more important role in the life of people than in other
countries. They say British people are very conservative . They are proud of
their traditions and carefully keep them up. But when we speak about
British traditions we always remember that there are four parts in Britain —
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Traditions are different
in these parts of the country.
You already know some of the English traditions and holidays. We
hope you remember St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Hallowe'en which have
also become traditional American holidays. Here are some more facts about old
English traditions.
One of the old English legends says that
London can be the capital of the country, rich and great until twelve black
ravens live in the Tower of London. Each has got its name and the keepers
carefully look after them. If one of the birds dies, another younger raven
takes its place. Londoners believe this legend and always bring some food to
give to the birds when they come to the Tower. The keepers cut the birds' wings
a bit as they are afraid that they may fly away.
Another old English tradition is Guy Fawkes Day. Children go out
into the streets on the 5th of November with figures like scarecrows.
They stand in the streets and squares asking for the usual "Penny for the
Guy". Then with the money they have collected they buy fireworks and burn
the guy (the figure like a scarecrow) on their bonfire.
People watch fireworks and some people go to parties in the
evening.

holidays people all over the world know some of them. They are — Easter,
Christmas and New Year.
