The UK is situated to the north-west off Europe on the British Isles. They consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller ones. Great Britain is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea and from the Continent of Europe by the English Channel.

«MY UNIVERSITY» Hello again! This is Vera and this time I’ll tell you about my University and my studies.I am very happy that I study here. It is one of the finest country’s higher educational institutions. Many famous people have graduated from my University, and not only lawyers or scientists, but many outstanding writers, actors, showmen and politicians. Studying at our University gives a solid background in all spheres of knowledge and prepares for practical work. Our University is quite large but not very old, compared to other national institutions. It was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1915, during the World War I the university of Warsaw was evacuated to Rostov-na-Donu. First it had only three faculties, but later it became the largest University in the region and it gave birth to other Institutions in the region. Nowadays it is a large school where more than 9000 students are currently enrolled. The majority are full-time students, like me, and the rest are part time-students. There are also about 150 graduate students — aspirants and doctorants. They conduct independent research work and have pedagogical practice. The course of study at my University lasts five years. There are many faculties at my University. Our University is large and we have several building. One of the buildings is for lectures and seminars only. There are many large halls there so that students of 3—4 groups together can fit in there. And that is more than 100 people. The acoustics in such large halls is very good but sometimes it is very noisy when students chat during the lecture. We have two other buildings for library, computer center, gym, and other facilities. Many students from my group want to do their own research work in the future and these facilities will certainly help them. There are several cafes at the University. My favourite one is situated in a separate one-storeyed building and people say that this is the oldest canteen or student’s cafe. The food there is tasty and very affordable. There are also several dormitories or hostel buildings where students from other cities or countries live. But you know already that I don’t live in a dormitory — I rent an apartment.

Countries within a Country

The official name of Great Britain is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it is often called in many ways. It can be called the United Kingdom, or the British Isles, or Great Britain. But what are the British Isles? And what is the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom? Why is England or the UK sometimes called Britain? The name United Kingdom refers to the union ofwhat were once four separate countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (though most of Ireland is now independent).The different history of England, Scotland and Wales has led to very different cultural traditions; The Scots and Welsh have right to feel angry when the term «English» is used wrongly, to mean all three.Scotland was a totally separate country from England, but in 1707 England and Scotland were united as one country. Since 1997, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have had their own parliaments.

The second largest island in the British Isles is called Ireland. The native language of Ireland is Eire. This is where the name Ireland comes from. Ireland is divided into 2 countries. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is now completely separate from the United Kingdom, but a small area in the North of Ireland is still a part of the UK. That is why the full title of the UK is «The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.»

Many of the countries in the British Isles have their own languages, absolutely unrelated to English. In many cases native languages are spoken by only a small number of people, but in Wales the Welsh language is still the first language. In some parts of North Wales English is learned as a foreign language! Some of the islands in the British Isles, such as the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, have their own laws, taxation and government. They also have their own flags and are politically separate from the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
