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.

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.
