Topic 2Culture CornerЗадание 1. Прочитайте текст и скажите, какие факты, упомянутые в тексте, для вас: А) интересны; В) необычны; С) новы;
D) знакомы. There is, perhaps, an excuse for people who use the word «England» when they mean «Britain». It cannot be denied that the dominant culture of Britain today is specifically English. The system of politics that is used in all four nations today is of English origin, and English is the main language of all four nations. Many aspects of everyday life are organized according to English custom and practice. But the political unification of Britain was not achieved by mutual agreement. On the contrary. It happened because England was able to exert her economic and military power over the other three nations. Today English domination can be detected in the way in which various aspects of British public life are described. For example, the supply of money in Britain is controlled by the Bank of England (there is no such thing as a «Bank of Britain»). The present queen of the country is universally known as «Elizabeth the Second», even though Scotland and Northern Ireland have never had an «Elizabeth the First»! (Elizabeth I of England and Wales ruled from 1553 to 1603.) The term «Anglo» is also commonly used. (The Angles were a Germanic tribe who settled in England in the fifth century. The word «England» is derived from their name.) For example, newspapers and the television news talk about «Anglo-American relations» to refer to relations between the governments of Britain and the USA (and not just those between England and the USA).
1. People usually call Great Britain just England. 2. English is the main language of all four nations. 3. The political unification of Britain was achieved by mutual agreement. 4. The most important bank of Great Britain is called the Bank of Britain. 5. Elizabeth the First was the queen of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 6. The term ‘Anglo-American relations’ refers to relations between England and the USA.
1. Why do people use the word «England»’ when they mean «Britain»? a) Because they want to excuse for that. b) Because the dominant culture of Britain is English. c) Because they live there. 2. This is NOT the reason why people use the word «England» when they mean «Britain»: a) The system of politics that is used in all four nations today is of English origin; b) English is the main language of all four nations; c) Many aspects of everyday life are organized according to English custom and practice; d) More people live in England. 3. How was the political unification achieved? a) It happened because nobody was against; b) It happened because England was the best place to live; c) It happened because England was more powerful than the other three nations. 4. What statement expresses the massage of the text best of all? a) England is a great country; b) The dominance of England in Great Britain is evident; c) English culture is very rich. III. SummaryЗадание 4. В предложенной аннотации вставьте подходящие по смыслу слова. Four, Great Britain, language, dominant, dominance, custom, powerful, politics. People usually call … just England. There are … reasons for that. First, the … culture of Britain today is English. Second, the system of … that is used in all four nations today is of English origin.

Попытайтесь объяснить её, пользуясь информацией из текста: In I970, the BBC showed a series of programmes about the history of the British Empire. Before the series started, they advertised it.
