England, Walse, Scoland and Northern Ireland are meant by the 'four nation' of Britain.
"Ying Guo Ren" is my language to describe people who live in Britain. Britain say "Poeenes" and "Aussie". If used these word, maybe they could understand. Because somebody do not has only one language.
There are between the people of the "four nations". Welsh is about 290 million populations and using the Welsh is only for the north farmer. Scotchman has about 510 million populations and they use the traditional language that is “Gaelic”.Northern Irish like call them “Northern Irish".
I don't know of any 'national' days that are celebrated in the UK. 243.6 thousand sp.km in UK and it has 60 million population. The national anthem is ' God Save the Queen'. In England. its flag is St George's Cross, its plant is rose and its saint's day is 23 April. The Wales's flag is Dragon os Cadwallader, its plant is Leek and its saint's day is 1st March. The Scotland's flag is St andrew's Cross and Lion rempant, its plant is Thistle and its saint's day is 30 Nov.. In Ireland, its flag is St Patrick's Cross and Republic of Ireland, its plant is Shamrock and its Patron saint and Saint's day is St Patrick and 17March.
There are New Year's day, Valentine's day, Easter day, All Fools day, Queen's Birthday, Hallowmas and Christmas day in Uk.

Some good information Miya. But you have not answered all the questions:
6. What are the national days? - the answers can be found in the handout I gave you called 'Country and People'.
4. What are the differences between the people of the four nations? - again, the answers are in the handout given to you.
7. How many languages exist? - you need to look at the handout and on the internet to find this information.
Please update your blog with the answers to the questions above. Also, can you change the language to English for your blog?
Thank you, Charlie
