The British Class System



The British society has some groups of classes. Class is the important part of the British . British society is considered to be divided into approximately three groups of classes - the upper class, the middle class, and the working class. Each class has unique characteristics.

●Upper class
The upper class is highest class in British society. The family of upper class still pass on wealth from generation to generation. And they enjoy a dominant position in society. They lived in stately homes.
The new upper class is much more culturally invisible. The modern upper class close social contacts. The upper class is largely made up of wealthy families.

People of the upper middle class have honorable jobs like lawyers, doctors, and politician. They can get a high salary. People of the middle class works as teacher, president of small company. They are not so rich.

City of Bath










A city of Bath is my favorite city in the south west of England. Bath became a world Heritage Site in 1987. A city of Bath was founded by the Romans as thermal spa. In the 18th century, under GeorgeⅢ, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical buildings such as Queens Square, Circus, and Royal Crescent.



There are some historic landmarks liks the Roman Baths, Pump room and Bath Abbey. You can try the hot Spa water at the fountain in the Pumproom.
