manchester is the undisputed "capital" of the north of england. whereas london's wealth was based on trade and finance,manchester's was built solidly on manufacturing. the north of england was the home of the industrial revolution,and manchester was its most important city. it had been an important textile-weaving centre since the 14th century. in the 18th century,however,the textile industry there boomed. this was the result of the combination of cheap cptton imported from the american colonies and the invention of mechanized weaving technology. workers began to flood into the city to find jobs in the new industries. the city became much richer,but living and working conditions were often terrible for the new industrial workers. they had to work from early morning till late at night in dirty,dangerous conditions. they lived in dark,cramped houses,which were squashed together in long rows. it is not surprising that many of the social reform movements in 19th-century britain started in manchester. manchester contineed to be economically successful into the 20th century. it had access to cheap cotton supplies from britain's colonies,especially india. the colonies also formed a huge market for manchester's manufacturedgoods. however,manchester was heavily bombed and badly damaged in the second world war. after the war,britain's manufacturing industries declined,and manchester's economy suffered very badly. unemployment rose,and the city lost much of its energy and dynamism. the city was bombed again in 1966,this time by the IRA,in protest against britain7s policies in northern ireland. much of the city's business centre was destroyed. this led to a huge program of rebuilding. the centre of manchester is now full of modern architecture,parks,and public spaces,as well as many bars and restaurants. it is a very different place compared with the old industrial city. in recent years,manchester has become famous for two things:music and soccer. during the 1980s,manchester was the home of a unique music scene,producing bands such as joy division,the happy mondays,and more recentry,oasis. it was also the place where huge dance clubs and the accompanying "rave" culture first sprang up. like many large british cities,manchester has two professional soccer clubs,manchester united and manchester city. of these,manchester united is the more famous. along with real madrid,it is plobably the best-known and most widely supported club in the world. the club has dominated english soccer for the last 20 years or so,and is rich enough to buy many of the world's best players. in 2004,the club bought the teenage genius,wayne rooner,at a cost of ￡27 million,after selling david beckham to real madrid the previous year.

マンチェスターは、イングランド北部の議論の余地のない「中心地」です。 ロンドンの富が商業と金融に基づいたのに対して、マンチェスターの富は完全に製造業を基盤として築き上げられました。 イングランド北部は産業革命の発祥の地でした、そして、マンチェスターはその最も重要な都市でした。 マンチェスターは、14世紀から重要な織物の中心地でした。 しかし、18世紀に、そこの繊維産業は好景気となりました。 これは、アメリカの植民地から輸入される安い綿と機械化された織物技術と言う発明の組合せの結果でした。 労働者が、新しい産業で仕事を見つけるためにその都市（マンチェスター）に殺到し始めました。 その都市（マンチェスター）はさらに豊かになりました、しかし、生活環境や労働環境は新しい産業の労働者にとってはしばしばひどいものでした。 彼らは、汚い、危険な環境で、早朝から夜遅くまで働かなければなりませんでした。 彼らは暗く、窮屈な家に住んでいました。そして、それは長い列状に密集していました。 19世紀の英国での社会改革運動の多くがマンチェスターで始まったことは、意外ではありません。 マンチェスターは、経済的に成功したまま20世紀を迎えました。 それ（マンチェスター）は、英国の植民地、特にインド、からの安い綿の供給を利用できていました。 植民地はまたマンチェスターの工業製品の巨大な市場となっていました。 しかし、マンチェスターは第二次世界大戦中激しい爆撃を受け、ひどい損害をこうむりました。 戦後、英国の製造業は衰退しました、そして、マンチェスターの経済はとてもひどく損なわれました。 失業率は上昇し、その都市（マンチェスター）はそのエネルギーと活力の多くを失いました。 その都市（マンチェスター）は、1966年に、再び爆弾による攻撃を受けました、この時は、北アイルランドをめぐる英国の政策に抗議するIRAによるものでした。 その都市（マンチェスター）のビジネス・センターの多くは、破壊されました。 これは、巨大な再建計画につながりました。 マンチェスターの中心は、現在、多くのバーやレストランだけでなく、現代的な建築物、公園、公共の場所でいっぱいです。 それは、以前の工業都市と比較してとても異なる場所になっています。 近年、マンチェスターは2つのもので有名になりました： 音楽とサッカーです。 1980年代に、マンチェスターはユニークなミュージック・シーンの本場となりました。そして、ジョイ・ディビジョン、ザ・ハッピー・マンディーズ、より最近では、オアシス、のようなバンドを生み出しました。 それは、巨大なダンス・クラブと付随的な「レイブ」カルチャーが最初に出現した場所でもありました。 多くの英国の大都市と同様、マンチェスターには2つのプロ・サッカー・クラブ、マンチェスター・ユナイテッドとマンチェスター・シティーがあります。 これらのうち、マンチェスター・ユナイテッドがより有名です。 レアル・マドリードと共に、それは多分世界で最も有名で最も広く支持されたクラブでしょう。 このクラブはこの20年ほどの間イギリスのサッカーを支配してきました、それで、世界のベスト・プレイヤーの多くを買うのに十分金持ちです。 2004年、その前年レアル・マドリードにデービッド・ベッカムを売った後に、そのクラブ（マンチェスター・ユナイテッド）は、2700万ポンドの費用で、十代の天才、ウェイン・ルーニーを買いました。 <参考> マンチェスター http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC IRA http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E8%BB%8D ジョイ・ディヴィジョン http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%82%A4%E3%83%BB%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3 ハッピー・マンデーズ http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%83%83%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA オアシス http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B7%E3%82%B9_(%E3%83%90%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89) レイブ http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96_(%E9%9F%B3%E6%A5%BD) マンチェスター・ユナイテッド http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%83%A6%E3%83%8A%E3%82%A4%E3%83%86%E3%83%83%E3%83%89FC マンチェスター・シティ http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B7%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3FC レアル・マドリード http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9E%E3%83%89%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89 デービッド・ベッカム http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%87%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%83%99%E3%83%83%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A0 ウェイン・ルーニー http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8B%E3%83%BC

as its name suggests, the area of england known as the midlands is in the middle of the country. this area used to be the heart of britain's manufacturing industry. the most important city in the region is birmingham,england's second city. at its peak in the 19th century,birmingham was the world's greatest industrial city,producing goods that were sold in britain's colonies and in other countries all around the world. the midlands,and birmingham in particular,1980s. the area lost around one third of its manufacturing jobs. the midlands played a very important role in the industrial revolution. one of the most famous towns there is shrewsbury. this was where british industrialists built the word's first iron bridge. another large town in the area is stoke-on-trent,the centre of britain's pottery industry. in fact,the district including stoke-on-trent and the five towns that surround it became known simply as "the potteries."the high-quality clay used to make the pots came from devon and cornwall in the southwest of england. the fuel used to fire the pottery kilns was coal,whch was easily available in the extensive local coalfields. in fact,the area became the largest pottery-making centre in the world in the 19th century. but it was a dirty and dangerous place to live. the smoke from the pottery factories covered everything with a layer of thick black soot. local workers suffered both from the soot and the dust that came from making the pots. living conditions were bad,and life expectancy was short. arnold bennett,the famous 19th-century novelist,memorably described life and work in the potteries in his novels such as clayhanger and anna of the five towns. the area is,of course,no longer the world's largest pottery centre. most british people now buy cheaper pottery imported from many different parts of the world. but there are still some very famous and old-established companies in the region that produce expensive,high-quality goods. these include such famous names as royal doulton,royal worcester,spode and wedgwood. wedgwood pottery is perhaps the best-known style of british pottery in japan. it has many designs,but the company's delicate and elaborately ornamented blue and white designs are especially famous. the company was founded by josiah wedgwood in 1759. wedgwood was not only a great designer,but also a man of science. he designed a device to measure the temperature of pottery kilns,and he was also responsible for developing revolutionary new glazes for his pots,which are still used today.

the cotswolds are a range of limestone hills running through the counties of somerset and gloucestershire in the southwest of england.("wold"is an old english word meaning "hill".) this area is one of the most-visited parts of england because of its rural beauty. the gentle,rolling slopes of the cotswolds make it an ideal place for sheep farming. sheep were the basis of the region's former prosperity. between the 14th and 16th centuries,the local wool merchants became very wealthy. evidence of this wealth can still be seen in the many beautiful old manor houses and churches there. the cotswolds are also famous for their picturesque villages. the buildings are almost all built of the local limestone,which ranges in colour from a silvery grey to a deep golden brown. visiting the cotswolds is like a trip back into the past. this is mainly because the industrial revolution did not really affect the region,and so it was able to preserve its characteristic atmosphere of mediaeval england. it is certainly a different world compared with the hustle and bustle of london,manchester and other major english cities. one of the most important towns in this area is bath,which is unique in being the only town in britain with a hot spring. the spring in bath had been known from ancient times. the first people to build actual baths there,however,were the romans. after the romans left britain in the 5th century,the baths fell into disuse. they were revived in the 18th century,when rich people in london learned about the health-giving properties of the water. it suddenly became very fashionable to have a house in bath. as a result,many rows of beautiful town houses were built. the characteristic shape of these rows is a kind of semicircle,known as a crescent. bath is still one of the most visually attractive cities in britain,and the roman baths are the most-visited tourist attraction outside london. unfortunately,it is no longer possible to take a bath there yourself. a similar city to bath is cheltenham,a little further to the north. in the 18th century a spa was also discovered there,but not a hot one. just as with bath,people from high society (including king george III)visited cheltenham to drink the waters,which were believed to cure many illnesses. cheltenham also has many elegant 18th-century houses, where rich people and aristocrats used to stay. apart from its architecture,one of cheltnham's main attractions nowadays is horse racing at its beautiful race course.

England,Scotland,Ireland,Wales,Britain,Great Britain,the United Kingdom-why are there so many names for one small country? This is very confusing,and so it is worth spending some time getting the facts clear. The officisl name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This name is too long for everyday purposes and is usually abbreviated to the UK. The UK is made up of four countries(not regions),which are,in decreasing order of size:England,Scotland,Wales and Northern ireland. Great Britain is actually the name of the main island containing England,Scotland and Wales. The most common way,however,to refer to the whole country is Britain. This is not the official name,but most people use it because it is short and convenient. England,Scotland,Irelandand Wales all developed as separate kingdoms with their own languages and customs. As England became more powerful,it wanted to extend its control over the three Celtic kingdoms. It conquered Wales(1282) and Ireland(1652) and became politically united with Scotland(1707). But Scotland,Wales and Ireland never lost their status as separate countries. In the early 20th century, Ireland became an independent country known as the Irish Republic(or Eire,in the Irish language). Six counties in the northeastern corner,however,remained part of Britain,and are known as Northern Ireland.

New York City has a special personality. It's the home of thousands of artists, singers, and celebrities from a great variety of backgrounds. More than 50 million tourists travel there each year to enjoy the amazing sights and sounds. With so much to offer, it’s easy to see why the city’s nickname is the Big Apple. New York City has long had an important place in American history. For millions of immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, it was their point of entry into the USA. Greeting them was the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the USA in 1886. The city is also the home of the United Nations, the New York Stock Exchange, and the offices of many international companies. The city is made up of five sections, or “boroughs”: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Although the city is spread out, its 8.4 million residents can easily get around on the subway system, which has 26 routes and 468 stations. Every year, more than 1.6 million riders use the system. There is plenty to see and do in the city that never sleeps. People love visiting the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. Plus, there are great museums like the Met and MoMA. Attending shows on Broadway, enjoying concerts at Lincoln Center, taking in games at famous stadiums, and eating at fancy restaurants are also popular with locals and tourists. Many of these activities are expensive, as are hotels. Spending $300 a night in Manhattan is common. But one of the best things about New York City is free－ walking around interesting neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and Chinatown. Each neighborhood has its own character, but they all have one thing in common. Though their residents may come from many countries and cultures, they’re all proud to call themselves New Yorkers.

At the start of the war, Britain was involved in two minor naval clashes – Heligoland and Dogger Bank. A full-scale naval clash between Germany and Britain had not occurred. Germany’s fleet was smaller than Britain’s but both fleets benefited from the development in 1906 of the Dreadnought. Overnight, all warships were redundant in terms of what they could do relative to the Dreadnought. The new design was quickly latched onto by the Germans and a naval race began.

Their first stop was an upstart city called Manchester. Early Victorian artists observed it from a safe distance,fascinated but wary,and well they might be. The safe distance,though,soon disappeared. Like an invading army,the mills and factories marched across the plain. The nation was in the grip of the world's first industrial revolution. It sucked the rural poor into new cities right across the land. But more than any other,it was Manchester that fired the Victorians'imagination. It was where you came if you wanted to see the future. In its dozens of steam-powered cotton mills,the rural immigrants got their first taste of a new world. The change must have been astonishing-the noise,the energy. This was a real revolution in the pace of life,a rupture in history. Places like this would change Britain beyond recognition. Today,Queen Street Mill is the last of its kind to survive intact.

cantaerbury lies about 100km southeast of london in the county of kent,and is one of england's major tourist sites. the main reason so many people gp there is too see canterbury cathedral,one of england's most famous churches and the headquarters of the anglican church. the city of canterbury played a crucial role in the history of christianity in england. the anglo-saxons,who settled in britain from the 6th century,were not originally christian. around that time,the catholic church sent many missionaries to convert these people. one of these missionaries,st.augustine,arrived near canterbury in the 6th century,and was welcomed by the local saxon king. st.augustine set up a church there that eventually became the cathedral. in the 12th century,an event occurred that changed the history of canterbury. king henry II of england became involved in a dispute with thomas a becket,the archbishop of canterbury. some knights overheard the king complaining about the archbishop. in order to win the king's favour,they murdered the archbishop in the cathedral. the archbishop's shrine at canterbury subsequently became a popular destination for pilgrims. this development gave rise to the first major work of english literature,the canterbury tales by geoffrey chaucer,who lived in the 14th century. by this time,the canterbury pilgrimages had become a popular feature of english life. some people went for religious reasons,but others went because the journer provided a welcome break from life's routines as well as a chance to meet new people. the pilgrims wouldusually gather in london before setting off on foot or on horseback on their journey,which naturally took several days. chaucer used this journey as a framework for his stories. he took a group of typical characters,and had each of them tell a story to help entertain their travelling companions as they made their journey to canterbury. through these stories,chaucer shows us that he was humourist,a philosopher and an accurate observer of human psychology. even today,we can read these stories of love,deceit,pride and ambition from the 14th century,and find the characters familiar. chaucer's genius was to create real-life characters,giving a vivid portrayal of their strengths and weaknesses. chaucer gives us a virtual snapshot of life in mediaeval england that is invaluable to our understanding of the period.

Cardiff, which was declared the Welsh capital in 1955, is really a city of two parts. Once the centre of the city was the docks, but in the twentieth century Cardiff's focal point moved northwards to the castle and the Civic Centre. However, the balance is beginning to change again with a redevelopment project of Cardiff Bay water front.
