Most Welsh people live in south Wales in the capital city, Cardiff, and two other big cities: Swansea and Newport. Language The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh, and “Wenglish” is a Welsh-English dialect (方言). Everyone speaks English, but if you go to school in Wales you have to learn Welsh until you are 16. Street signs are written in Welsh and English, and villages, towns and cities have an English name and a Welsh name. The Welsh language is one of the oldest languages in Europe and around 20 percent of people in Wales speak Welsh. Sports The Welsh enjoy watching and playing sports, especially rugby and football. The modern Millennium Stadium in Cardiff can hold 74,500 people and is where you go if you want to watch a football or rugby match or a concert. Water sports are popular in Wales. You can go surfing or wakeboarding (尾浪滑水). If you like unusual sports, visit the small town of Llanwrtyd Wells. Every year in this town there is a man versus horse marathon (马拉松) and a bog snorkelling (沼泽潜水) competition. Food There are lots of sheep in Wales, so people eat a lot of lamb (羊羔肉). Typical Welsh dishes include “cawl”, which is lamb stew (炖羊肉), sausages and “rarebit”, which is a type of cheese on toast. There are also Welsh cakes, which are small, sweet, round cakes with dried raisins (葡萄干) inside. Symbols If you ever go to Wales, you will see dragons everywhere; red dragons are a symbol of Wales. Other symbols include the leek (a long, green vegetable) and the daffodil. 1. What are the official languages of Wales? A. English B. English and Welsh C. English and Wenglish D. Welsh 2.
