3. Read a page from Taras's diary and answer the questions.
"If you arrive in Great Britain, you'll hear the word "tradition" everywhere. Englishmen have a sentimental love for things and traditions because they are old. They never throw away old things.
For example, in many houses of Great Britain they have fireplaces, the English people don't want to have central heating because they don't want to have changes. One more example. The Yeomen-Warders are dressed in traditional medieval clothes and the traditional dress of the Horse Guards regiment has existed since the twelfth century. This dress costs a lot of money and seems very funny nowadays, but Englishmen stand for it because it's their traditional dress.
Another old custom remains from the time when there were a lot of robbers in London. In those days the shouting "Who goes home?" was often heard in the Houses of Parliament and the members went in groups along the dark narrow streets of the old city. In modern London this shouting sounds very strange...
