Chapter 1

Gooday Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is Great Britain and my official name is the United Kingdom of  Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This is my flag and state emblem. I am an island and my territory is about  244 thousand square  kilometers. My  population is over 67 million people. I consist of 4 parts, they are England, Scotland,  Wales and Northern Ireland.  My official language is English.  My climate is damp and mild because of Golf Stream. From Europe I am separated by the English Channel. My big rivers are the Thames and the Severn.  There are many lakes on my territory, they are: the Lake District, Loch Ness and  Loch Lomond and they are very beautiful. People like to have rest there.  My highest mountain is Ben Nevis. The biggest cities are Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and others. I am a constitutional monarchy, this means,  that  a monarch  is the Head of the State. Now the Queen Elizabeth the Second is the head of the State, but her power is limited by the Parliament.  London is the capital.  It is situated on the River Thames, and it is one of the largest cities in the world.  There are four parts in London. They are the City, the East End, the West End and Westminster. The City is the commercial part of  London. There are many banks and offices there. The most famous places of interest are in the West End. They are the British Museum, the Tower of London,  Tower Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square  and a beautiful Hyde Park. The Port of London is in the East End and there are many docks and others industrial areas. The last part of my capital is Westminster. Buckingham Palace – the Queen’s resident,  British Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey are there. Westminster is the church, were English kings or queens were crowned and many famous people are buried.  And this is my parts: England, its capital London, its flag and emblem; Scotland,  its capital Edinburgh, its flag and emblem, Wales,  its capital Cardiff, its flag and emblem, and Northern Ireland, , its capital Belfast, its flag and emblem. And now some words about my holidays and traditions.

Chapter 2

 There are many traditions in my country and they play a very important part in the life of my people. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and have kept them up for hundreds of years. In English homes the fireplace has always been the centre of  interest in the room. For many months of the year people like to sit round the fire in the evening. Another old tradition is 5 o’clock tea. People like to have tea with cakes.   There is a new tradition in England now. Every year a large number of veteran cars drive from London to Brighton. The run takes place on the first Sunday in November and begins at 8 o’clock in the morning from Hyde Park.

One of the most impressive ceremonies is Changing the Guard, which takes place at Buckingham Palace every day at 11.30.

And now some words about my holidays. There are only six public holidays in Great Britain.  They are: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Spring Bank Holiday, and Late Summer Bank Holiday. Besides them, there are also other holidays such as: New Year’s Day, St. Valentine’s Day, All Fools’ Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Halloween. The most favourite children’s holidays are Christmas and Halloween. On Christmas they like to get presents from Santa Claus, usually he puts them into the stockings on the fireplace. On Halloween children make from pumpkin a face and put into it a candle.  People dress up as witches and ghosts and have parties. Group of children also play “trick-or-treat” on their neighbours, going from door to door and people give them sweets or money.

Many famous people are from Great Britain. They are Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare, Lewis Carol, Agatha Christy, Princess Diana, Angelina Jolly. Popular musicians are Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon,  and many others.

The most popular sport in my country is football. Children and grown-ups play this game everywhere. Many children play for their schools and grown-ups play for their work places. Also there are many professional football club. The other popular games are cricket and Rugby.

That is all. I try to tell you some important words about Great Britain.
