Great Britain 

The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

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 kilometers. The British Isles consists of two large islands: Great Britain and Ireland, and a great number of small islands.  Their total area is over 325,000 square kilometers.

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 Chanel in the south. The Strait of Dover 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 and difficult to navigate during storm. The Britain’s main ports are London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Hull and others. The UK is highly developed industrial country. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding.

One will not find very high mountains or large plains in Great Britain. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland 4,406 feet high. The longest river is the Severn, in England about 200 miles long, but the deepest is the Thames.

Pl 1: It is very important to know that England is the largest of four parts, which make up Great Britain.  It’s industrial and most densely populated part of the United Kingdom. Over 46 million people of the population of United Kingdom live in England. The capital of England is London.

 Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in Southwest England. Not far from Stonehenge stands Salisbury Cathedral. It is a splendid example of an English Gothic Cathedral.

There are many rivers in England. The longest is the Severn (338kl), the most important is the Thames. The rivers are very important for communication and carrying goods.

I was impressed by beautiful gardens all over England. By the way, the symbol of England is a red rose and English people are crazy about gardening.

 

 ( презентація про Шотландію)

PL 2: Scotland is the country in the north of Great Britain. It is a part of the United Kingdom.

Scotland is very beautiful! There are mountains, valleys, lakes and hundreds of islands. Scotland is full of mountains and lakes. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis. There are a lot of rivers there.

Scotland is also the land of myths and mysteries; every castle has its ghost. Glamis Castle is said to have nine of them.

The most famous lake is called Loch Ness. It is very deep and some people believe that a mysterious creature lives at the bottom. This monster is often called “Nessie”. Nessie is said to be about six meters long.

The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh. Every summer it has a huge festival: artists, poets, musicians and actors from all the world go there. There are two large cities here: Glasgow and Aberdeen. Glasgow is the industrial capital of Scotland. Golf is the Scotland national sport and seems to have originated in this country.

Pl 3: Wales is the part of Great Britain. The oldest symbol of Wales is a red dragon.        There are very beautiful mountains on the north of Wales. They are Britain’s second highest mountains. Snowdonia is the picturesque region in Wales. Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales. The capital of Wales is Cardiff, the largest city of Wales. It is an important industrial city and a port. It is also an administrative and educational centre. I was surprised when I learnt that there are 2 official languages in Wales, Welsh and English. Children study Welsh at school.

The Welsh people are fond of music, singing, poetry and drama. Every year the Eisteddfod Festival is held in Wales.

Pl 4: Northern Ireland is the smallest part of the United Kingdom. It occupies only one sixth of its territory, and it is situated on the northeast of the island Ireland.  Belfast is the capital of the Northern Ireland.

The population of Northern Ireland is about 1.5 million people. 53 per cent of the total population lives in urban areas. The whole economy of Northern Ireland is closely integrated with that of Great Britain.

Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland is the leading industrial centre and a large port. Its main industries are the production of linen and other textiles, clothing, shipbuilding, engineering.

     ( слайд 16)

 

Climate of Great Britain

Great Britain is situated on the island. It is washed by seas from all the sides. That’s why the climate and the nature of Great Britain are very specific. It is not very cold in winter and never hot in summer. There is no ice on the lakes and rivers in winter. It rains very often in all the seasons. The weather changes very often. Britain is famous for its fogs. Sometimes fogs are so thick that it is impossible to see anything within 2 or 3 metres. Average British temperature does not rise above 32 C in summer and does not fall bellow  -10 C in winter. We may say that the British climate is mild and very changeable.
