— Hey, Jack! What is your first association with Great Britain?
— I guess it's wet climate. Pouring rain all the time and all that.
— Well, it's raining often, but not more frequently than in other countries in Europe. It's Gulf Stream — warm and swift current — that makes all the difference. The climate is humid and mild, which is very good for vegetation.
— So that's the reason! Good to know. There are lots of green in the UK. Brits seem to love flowers.
— Indeed, and some flowers are symbols of the countries of the United Kingdom.
— Oh, really?
— Yes. It's the thistle for Scotland and the rose for England.
— What about Ireland and Wales? Do they have their emblems too?
— Sure. It's the shamrock for Ireland and the daffodil for Wales.
— Seems like nature in Britain is rich and beautiful. What about mountains? Are there any?
— Britain is not very mountainous country. The tallest mountain in Britain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. It's \(1345\) metres high.
— Are there other natural attractions in the UK?
— Yes. Have you heard about Loch Ness, the lake?
— Sure! The one where the monster lives?
— Well, the monster doesn't really exist, it's only an old legend. But hundreds of people still believe it.
