Talking points
1 How is the pattern of human settlement in your country different from that in Britain?
2 In modern times, London is expanding towards the east. Can you see any problems with
expanding in this particular direction?
3 People sometimes say that London is not at all typical of the rest of Britain. On the
basis of the information given in chapter 3 of Britain, do you think this is true? Does
the capital city of your country stand in the same relation to the rest of the country as
London does to Britain?
4 Are the stereotypes of the north and south of England and their inhabitants similar to
the images of the north and south of your country?
5 In the short tour of the regions of Britain in chapter 3 of Britain, some sections are
longer than others. This is partly because some regions have higher profiles than others
that is, more is known or imagined about them than others. Which are the regions of
Britain that seem to have the higher profiles? What do their reputations consist of?
6 If you had to live in Britain but could choose anywhere in the country, which part would
you choose? Why? Is this the same part you would choose to visit for a holiday?
