Срочно краткий пересказ текста The land and people of great britain прооошшшуууу

The United 

Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) occupies 

most of the territory of the British Isles. It consists of four

 main parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. 

London is the capital of England, Edinburgh is the capital of 

Scotland, Cardiff— of Wales and Belfast — of Northern Ireland. 

The UK is a small country with an area of some 244,100 square 

kilometres. It occupies only 0.2 per cent of the world’s land 

surface. It is washed by the Atlantic 

Ocean in the north-west, north and south-west and separated from 

Europe by the North Sea in the east and by the English Channel 

in the south. The Strait of Dover or Pas de Calais is the 

narrowest part of the Channel. The North Sea and the English 

Channel are often called «the narrow seas»; they are not deep 

but are frequently rough.

In the west the 

Irish Sea and the North Channel separate the UK from Ireland. 

The seas around Britain provide exceptionally good fishing 

grounds. The country has many bays favourable for shipping. In 

their shelter are Britain’s main ports such as London, 

Liverpool, Glasgow, Hull and others.

One will not find 

very high mountains or large plains in Great Britain. Everything 

occupies very little place. Nature, it seems, has carefully 

adapted things to the size of the island itself. The highest 

mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland, 4,406 feet high. The longest 

river is the Severn in England.

The population of 

the United Kingdom is over 57 million people. Foreigners often 

call British people «English», but the Scots, the Irish and the 

Welsh do not consider themselves to be English. The English are 

Anglo-Saxon in origin, but the Welsh, the Scots and the Irish

 are Celts, descendants of the ancient people, who crossed over 

from Europe centuries before the Norman Invasion. It was this 

people, whom the Germanic Angles and Saxons conquered in the 5th 

and 6th centuries AD. These Germanic conquerors gave England its 

name — «Angle» land. They were 

conquered in their turn by the Norman French, when William the 

Conqueror of Normandy landed near Hastings in 1066. It was from 

the union of Norman conquerors and the defeated Anglo-Saxons 

that the English people and the English language were born.

The official 

language of the United Kingdom is English. But in western 

Scotland some people still speak Gaelic and in northern and 

central parts of Wales people often speak Welsh.

The UK is a 

highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of the 

worlds largest producers and exporters of machinery, 

electronics» textile» aircraft, and navigation equipment. One of 

the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding.

The UK is a 

constitutional monarchy. In law, Head of the State is Queen. In 

practice, the country is ruled by the elected government with 

the Prime Minister at the head. The British Parliament consists 

of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

There are three 

main political parties in Great Britain: the Labour, the 

Conservative and the Liberal parties.

The flag of the 

United Kingdom, known as the Union Jack, is made up of three 

crosses. The big red cross is the cross of Saint George, the 

patron saint of England. The white cross is the cross of Saint 

Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. 

The red diagonal cross is the cross of Saint Patrick, the patron 

saint of Ireland.

Pavel’s travel diary

Look at the map of the British Isles. You can see them in the north-west of mother Europe. Do you know the name of the two largest islands? This is Great Britain and Ireland. In addition, there are more than five hundred small islands. Together they are the social United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Britain for short. This is where I came some time ago.

As Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel, I had three options: take a plane or cross it by ferry or train through the Channel Tunnel. I chose the longest and most popular way to travel and here I was landing at Gatwick Airport, 43 kilometers south of London (as the leaflet I picked up on the info page said).

I couldn’t believe my eyes: pretty good scenery and 2000 years old

stories were waiting for me to explore. Admittedly, that’s easy to say

than done, after that this island state consists of four lands: England, Wales, Scotland,

land and Northern Ireland. My first destination was England, as it is

the largest and most densely populated of the four. I already bought the postcards

quite famous natural attractions such as the rivers Thames and Mersey,

the southeastern coast, sandy or muddy, with chalk cliffs in places.

The Pennines run down England almost like a ridge, and the Lake District,

Of course.

To the west of England is Wales. With its own charm, it is home to Mount Snowdon, over 1,000m high, the capital Cardiff, leeks, daffodils and the red dragon as the national symbol of the Welsh country. I can’t wait to visit Wales!

If I get a chance to go to the north of England, I’ll end up in Scotland.

land sometime and enjoy the highlands and lowlands, many beautiful

rivers and lakes (called lakes), the legendary thistle and heather covering

mountain slopes Maybe I’ll finally solve the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster! Hooray! And last but not least — Northern Ireland. The nearest point is only 21 km from Scotland. It is separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. It has a border in the south and west with the Republic of Ireland. At its center lies Loch Ney, the UK’s largest freshwater lake. The whole island is famous for its

a beautiful, green area, which is why it is sometimes called Emerald

Island.

I can’t wait to see it all!

A few more facts about Great Britain

You probably know that the official or political name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, in the United Nations and the European Parliament, it is usually known by its shorter name: United Kingdom or the abbreviation Great Britain.

We often refer to the country as Britain. In addition, there is also a poetic name for the country, Albion. The geographical name of the country is the British Isles, because the country occupies islands called the British Isles. For this reason, it has a single land border with Ireland and a sea border with France.

Like all other countries, Great Britain has its own symbol — the flag. It is called the Union Flag and also the Union Jack. You may ask me why this name? Then you should know that in 1603, King James I (or Jack for short) of England united England and Scotland. Then in 1801 there was a union with Ireland. Now the flag combines elements of three countries (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland) united under one nation. Wales not represented in flag, because at the time of the appearance of the flag in 1606, Wales was already united with England.

Look at the Union Jack. It is a combination of the three crosses of the country’s three patron saints: the red cross of St. George for England on a white background; white diagonal cross of St. Patrick of Ireland on a white background.

As for the national coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, it shows the union of its four parts.

There are emblems for each part of Great Britain: the emblem of England (three lions on a red background), the emblem of Scotland (a red lion on a yellow background), the emblem of Wales (St David and a daffodil) and the coat of arms of Northern Ireland (a yellow harp on a blue background).

Two emblems of English lions symbolize the leading role of English.

land in this union. The shield is supported by two mythical animals: Eng.

only a lion and a Scottish unicorn. The emblem is crowned with a crown

lion, a symbol of power and might. Also, below the emblem, there

these are the four floral symbols of the four parts of the country. Do you know them? It is a red rose for England, a wild plant called Thistle for Scotland, a vegetable called leek for Wales and another wild plant called Shamrock for Northern Ireland. In conclusion, I would name the historical colors of parts of Great Britain: England — white; Scotland — Blue; Wales — Red; Northern Ireland — Green.

Sports teams of nations wear these colors.

1. Weather considerations.

2. Joys of biking.

3. Preparations.

4. Meeting the locals.

5. Beware of thieves.

6. Follow the rules.

A. If you want to see Europe on $45 a day you might prefer to stay at hostels and shop at farmers’ markets, but you definitely will not be able to do it without the help of a bike as it is one of the most economical ways to see Europe. But most bikers choose to pedal for the sheer joy of it. Just imagine riding up a beautiful mountain road, going to the very top, hearing birds singing in the treetops, and enjoying a well-earned and glorious downhill run.

B. The most important thing to do before you go for a long ride is to learn which tools to bring for basic repair work, such as patching a flat. If possible, first take a weekend camping trip with everything you’ll need with you. If you don’t already know how to fix your bike, you can ask about classes at your local bike shop. Although you can buy a good touring bike in Europe, you’re better off bringing a bike that you’re sure is the right fit for you as well as your own racks and panniers.

C. Expect rain and bring good bikers’ rain equipment. You’ll also be exposed to the sun, so plan on using plenty of sunscreen. Even if you never ride at night, you should bring a back light for long and unavoidable tunnels. Always wear a helmet as well as biking gloves to guard against unsightly road rash. Beware of the silent biker who might be right behind you, and use hand signals before stopping or turning. Stay off the freeways; smaller roads are nicer for biking, anyway.

D. Use a bike lock to secure your bike and never leave your pump, bag or laptop on your bike if you’re going to step away, even for a moment. Keep your bike inside whenever possible. At hostels, ask if there is a locked bike room, and, if not, ask for a place to put your bike inside overnight. Remember that hotels and many pensions don’t really have rules against taking a bike up to your room. It is advised just to do it quietly so the owners and other guests aren’t disturbed.

E. The most rewarding aspect of bicycling in Europe is having the chance to get to know and communicate with new people. Europeans love bicycles, and they are often genuinely impressed when they see a tourist who rejects the view from a tour-bus window in favor of riding through their country on two wheels. Your bike provides an instant topic for conversation, the perfect bridge over cultural and language barriers.
