What’s the difference between the British Isles, Britain, the United Kingdom and England?

The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.

The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).

England is the largest, most populous (人口眾多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不滿的), and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(國會). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠誠于) to the Crown(英國王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.

  Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated(慶祝)in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother’s day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts(禮物)of love to their mothers.

Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨)， while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.

The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia(費城） on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.

In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(廣播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”

On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪惡轟炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.
