There are two officials languages in Wales, Welsh and English, although
English is usually spoken. Children study Welsh at school and some people
speak it all the time. Signs are usually in Welsh and in English. The
Welsh language has some very long place names; look at this station sign!

Foreign tourists love beautiful Welsh beaches and the mountains of
Snowdonia are popular too. Snowdonia National Park is an area in the
north. You can travel to the top of Mount Snowdon – on foot or by the
Snowdon Mountain Railway.
Another tourist attraction is the capital of Wales – Cardiff. It is
an excellent shopping centre and a busy port with first class restaurants
and cafés, great parks and museums.
Don’t miss Techniquest, a science museum for the whole family.
If you are keen on sea life, you can visit the Oceanarium and the
Marine Life Centre or take a boat trip to Ramsey Island.
Welsh people are famous for their singing and their music festivals. A
musical instrument, the harp, is another symbol of Wales. Besides, there
is a fantastic new sports stadium in Cardiff. The Welsh are crazy about
rugby. It’s their national sport.
