a. Read the first paragraph.
Underline the names of countries that were part of the British Empire.
At the start of Queen Victoria's reign, Britain already governed large areas of countries
such as India, Canada, and Australia. By the end of her reign and driven by the need to find
new markets, the British Empire had become the largest the world had ever seen. For the
Victorians, India symbolised the empire. The Queen called it the jewel in the crown'. In 1876
5 she was proclaimed 'Empress of India'.
Britain imported raw materials such as cotton, tea and sugar and exported manufactured
goods like cotton cloth, locomotives and machine tools to the colonies. The colonies
created jobs for many British people. The British built railways, roads, bridges, factories and
government buildings, all in the Victorian style, and brought the British lifestyle and language
10 to the world. The expanding empire also offered lots of opportunity for explorers to discover
new regions and to preach Christianity to the natives. Perhaps the most famous explorer was
David Livingstone
