To the west of the continent of Europe lie two large islands. The
larger of them is called Great Britain, and the smaller, Ireland. These
two and 5,500 smaller islands form the British Isles.
The island of Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The isle of Ireland is divided into Northern Ireland and the Irish Re¬ public. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland form the Unit¬ ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK (the United
Kingdom) is the official name of the country, occasionally referred to
as Great Britain, which is, strictly speaking, only a geographic name.
Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea
from the west, by the North Sea from the north and west. It is separated
from the European continent by the English Channel. The narrowest
part of the English Channel is called the Strait of Dover. The UK is not
a very large country. Its territory is about 244,000 square kilometers,
and no point of the country is more than 120 kilometers away from
the sea.
At the same time, the population of the UK is the third largest in Europe, comprising about 60 million people. It is incorrect to call ev¬ erybody who lives in the United Kingdom “English”, as this is the name only for those who live in England. The residents of Wales are named Welsh, while the people of Scotland are called Scottish. The correct common name for English, Scottish and Welsh is British. Those
who live in Northern Ireland are called Irish.
The climate of the British Isles is generally mild; it is seldom cold
in winter and never too hot in summer. This is due to the warm
current of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf Stream. Britain was always known
as the country of fogs, but now it is not quite so because of the
climatic changes: there is maybe less fog than in any other European country.
There are no high mountains and long rivers in the UK. The highest
mountain is Ben Nevis in the Highlands of Scotland, and the longest
rivers are the Severn and the Thames.
Geographically, the UK has a very convenient position, being locat¬
ed on the crossroads from Europe to America. This is one of the rea¬ sons why Britain was (and is up to the present time) one of the leading world powers. The capital of the country is London. It is situated on the river Thames.
Britain has an ancient and glorious history. It used to be the great empire “where the sun never sets”. It gave the world many famous scientists, writers, political leaders and explorers, such as Newton, Dar¬ win, Drake, Shakespeare, Churchill and others.
For centuries monarchs ruled Britain. The constitutional monarchy is still preserved in the country, though it is practically no more than a
tradition and a tribute to the past. Queen Elisabeth II is Head of State.
Her power is limited by the parliament, which is elected every four
years. The leader of the party that has won the majority during the elections becomes the Prime Minister. In fact, he becomes the head of state and forms the Cabinet. The second largest party forms the official Opposition..

Мой папа бухать. Как видите он немного лысый. Моих родителей
имена Мелисса и Джордж.
Мой младший брат Тед шесть и он всегда вокруг меня с нагрузками
вопросов, “почему лягушки зеленые? А где сейчас Луна? Что такое веб-сайт?”
Но даже я не получил ответы на каждый
вопрос. Тед настолько любопытно и скучно!
Моя сестра имеет длинные светлые волосы и
она всегда носит много сделать
и
крупные серьги. Ей семнадцать и я думаю
она эгоистка.
Этот мужчина с седой бородой-это мой
дедушка. Мы назвали его пиратом Эдом, потому что
он путешествовал по всему
мир на большой корабль.
Но это только его
прозвище. Его настоящее
зовут Эдвард. Он
очень интересно и он
рассказывает нам много
удивительных историй. Он
можно говорить 10
языки!

мой дядя Гарри. Он
брат моего отца.
У него есть хвостик.
Он заставляет нас смеяться.
Его жена, Линда, - это
всегда серьезный. Она
тонкая, потому что она всегда на диете.
Девушка с косами-это моя кузина Эми. Ей 11 и она стесняется.
Ее брат Джим-очень тонкий, так что Лиз моя бабушка часто говорит: “Джим, ты
надо съесть побольше, если вы хотите быть большим и сильным.” И неопрятно
мальчик мой другой кузен Роберт.
Это не вся моя семья. У меня много других родственников,
но они не в этой картине.
