Hi,
I'm a sixth grader from Alaska and I'm doing a MAJOR
report on England but I don't have enough information. I
would really appreciate some info. If someone could give me
some kind of information on the culture, climate and
languages, besides English, I would really like that.
Thank you so much!

Hi
I lived in England for many years before moving to
Australia,
you can pick up a lot of useful information by typing
England into your search engine and click on things you
think might interest you.
However if you want a locals opinion England is a very green
Island in the Northern Hemisphere.
It has farms and cities and urban area like Americia but the
country itself is much older.
It is very friendly to kids and the main language is english
although some schools teach french and german as a second
language.
Also as Some of The people derived from the celtic
Norman civillisation and some parts of the united kingdom
speak in gaelic (ireland,Wales,scotland)
The winter is Dec Jan Feb the lowest temp is around -14Ff
The culture is very simillar to Amercian Culture in relation
to religion ,family values, democratic government etc
Yet very different in relation to how the people view
themselves in relation to the world.
But if you ask me all kids around the world are very
simillar and they have a culture of their own, friendly,
happy , adventure loving..
England has a very old history and has castles all over the
place
(It has lots of legends about heroes and dragons etc)
In 1066 William the conqueror (A KING) came from france
with his Norman Knights and started what was is today the
English Royal family.
In particular you would probably like the tower of london
and the House of parliment as they are old and spooky and
have a very interesting history.
You can gets lots of specific information from Encyclopedia
Brtanica which will give you Demographic information
You can search for the tower of london and The royal
family at their home page for the spooky stuff about castles
etc
But all in all the people are friendly and culturally
simillar in many ways to your self
Good luck with your homework
