This Topic File is based on the film "Schoolkids in Britain". Pupils get to know pupils in two different schools in two very different places in the UK: Conwy in Wales and Hounslow in the suburbs of London. They hear about the school life of the British pupils and what they do in their free time. They also hear about the languages that the British pupils speak: those in Conwy speak mainly English and Welsh and those in Jounslow speak English and several other languages.
