Great Britain
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles lie to the north-west of the European continent. They consist of more then 5000 small islands. Great Britain is the biggest of them. The North Sea and the English Channel separate the country from the continent. The Strait of Dover is the narrowest part of the channel.
The UK consists of four parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, the capital of Wales is Cardiff, the capital of Northern Ireland is Belfast and the capital of England is London.
The total area of the UK is about 242.000 sq.km. Its population is over 57 million people. London is the biggest city. About 7 million people live there. All Welsh, Scottish and Irish people speak English, but all the countries have their accents and dialects. The UK is a parliamentary monarchy and the Queen is the head of the state. But real power belongs to the 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: the Labour, the Conservative and the Liberal parties.
The flag of the UK is known as Union Jack.
The landscape of the country is beautiful and diverse. The main areas of highland are in Scotland and Wales. The highest mountains are Ben Nevis and Snowdon. The longest rivers are the Severn and the Thames.
The climate is moderate and mild due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. There is a lot of rain in autumn and winter.
The UK is a highly developed industrial country. It lives by manufacture and trade. The most important natural resources are coal and iron ore. The country imports raw materials for its industries, cotton, timber, fruit and farm products. The UK produces and exports iron and steel products, chemicals, machinery and electronics. The biggest industrial centers are London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester.
Great Britain is famous for its exсiting history and rich cultural heritage. A lot of tourists come to see St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower, Westminster Abbey and many other sights.
I hope I’ll visit Great Britain one day.
