Read “Flags” and answer questions 1 to 5.

Flags

  Flags have existed for over 3000 years. The earliest flags were wooden or metal poles topped with a carving.

  About 2000 years ago pieces of fabric were added to some poles for decoration. Over the next 500 years the free-flying part of the flag became more important.

  Every country today has its own flag. Many groups and organisations also have a flag which stands for, or symbolises, the aims of the group.

  The United Nations

  The flag depicts a world map, centred on the north pole. The map is surrounded by an olive wreath, symbolising peace and co-operation. The flag is blue and white.

  Nepal

  This is the only national flag that is not a rectangle. The white shapes represent the sun and moon.

  Singapore

  The five stars stand for five ideals:democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

  Japan

  The central red disc of the sun represents sincerity and passion. The white background represents purity and honesty.

  Cambodia

  Three towers of the famous temple of Angkor Wat feature on this flag.

  Bhutan

  The wingless dragon is the national symbol. Bhutan means “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.
