1 Birmingham grew because it was easy to get coal and iron there.

2 The Birmingham Carnival lasts for a month.

3 People from lots of different cultures live in Birmingham.

4 Every year, actors perform at Aston Hall.

Birmingham is England's second city. It has always had a good supply of water and the easy access to coal and iron meant that it became an important industrial centre. Today, heavy industry is less important to Birmingham. Other parts of the local economy, such as shopping and tourism, now provide jobs and an income for many people.

One of the highlights of the year is the Birmingham Carnival. This takes place one day in August and includes music, dancing, food and arts and crafts. It is a great opportunity to find out about the many different cultures that make up modern-day Birmingham. The city has Chinese, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh communities, all with their own cultural traditions.

A great place to visit in the local area is Aston Hall. Completed in 1635, the hall contains examples of furniture and paintings from different historical periods. Every two years, you can attend 'Aston Hall by Candlelight', when the house is lit by candles and actors recreate a 17th-century Christmas.

5 Ships from Glasgow took rum and tobacco to America.

6 Glasgow recently became well known for its sport.

Glasgow is a modern, multicultural city in Scotland with a long history. Starting as a fishing village., by the end of the 18^th century it had become a centre for shipbuilding. Being on the west of Scotland meant that it was in an excellent position for sending ships full of cloth and iron to America and the West Indies. These ships brought back sugar, rum and tobacco and Glasgow grew. Many local merchants became rich through trade.

Glasgow has long been famous for its sport. The two biggest teams in Scottish football, Celtic and Rangers, are both based in Glasgow and it was the European Capital of Sport in 2003. There are three world-class football stadiums in Glasgow and the Glaswegians (as people from Glasgow are called) are very proud of their sporting history.
