The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defense. However, they also have some differences. For example, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different education systems and legal systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and national dishes. And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup!

Paragraph 4
The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses.
The _________ of the four groups of ________
influence
invaders
英国历史源远流长、别有趣味,等待你去探索,帮助你更加深入地了解这一国家及其传统。英国历史上有四个不同民族在不同历史时期执掌这个国家。无论你身处英国何方,这些民族的遗迹都随处可见。第一族群是古罗马人,于公元一世纪进入英国。罗马人的伟大成就在于他们建立了城镇、修建了道路。之后是安格鲁—撒克逊人,于公元五世纪达英国。他们引入了英语的雏形,并改变了人们建造房屋的方式。

The Vikings came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK. The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well-known Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.
维京人于公元八世纪到来,留下了诸多的新的词汇,并给英国境内的许多地方命名。最后一个是诺曼人,11世纪著名的黑斯廷斯战役之后,诺曼人征服了英格兰,四处修建城堡,并改革了法律制度。诺曼人即为法国人,许多法语单词也因此慢慢进入了英语
