Good day girls and boys. I’m glad to see you. Today we have a game, which is called “Travelling to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland».

The official name of the country whose language we study is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, some people say “Great Britain”, or “the United Kingdom”, or just          “the UK” and “GB”.

There is the Atlantic Ocean on the north and the North Sea on the east. The English Channel, which is about 21 miles, separates the UK from the continent. There are four countries in the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island.

 And now it is time to meet with our teams and guests.

ENGLAND

I am from England. London is the capital of England. The symbol of England is a Rose. The national  flag is Saint George’s Cross of England.

I want to tell you about London. It is a very beautiful city. I'm sure that visitors to London often prefer to travel by bus, because they can see a lot of interesting places from the top of a double-decker.

 The famous river Thames runs through London. Tourists can visit the Tower of London. It was built in the 11th century. It was a fortress, a royal palace and later a prison. Now the Tower of London is a museum. Across the Thames there is Tower Bridge.

Buckingham Palace is the London home of the British Queen. When the flag is flying on the top, she is at home.

        Tourists can also visit Trafalgar Square, where people from all parts of London celebrate New Year.

                There a lot of parks and gardens in London. In Regent’s Park  there is the London Zoo, one of the biggest zoos in the world.

        Certainly visitors can see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the most famous clocks in the world.

        Westminster Abby is a royal church. Here you can see tombs of many British Kings and queens and other famous people. The second famous church is St. Paul’s Chathedral.

The London Eye is the largest observation wheel in the world.

Mary, please, tell us about yourselves and your country.(Scotland)

SCOTLAND

I am from Scotland. In the northwest Scotland is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, and in the northeast it is washed by the North Sea.

        The national emblem of Scotland is a thistle. And the national flag is Saint Andrew's Cross.

        The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh. It was built on seven hills. There are a lot of beautiful lakes in Scotland. But the most famous of them are Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. The lake “Loch Ness” is famous all over the world because of a water monster Neisse that lives there.

The greatest mountain is Ben Nevis.

        It’s also famous for its Bagpipes and Kilts. The Kilt is a national costume that men and women wear.

The national emblem of Wales is a yellow daffodil and the national flag is white and green with red dragon on it.

The capital of Wales is Cardiff.  The largest cities are Swansea and New Port . One of the biggest mountains is Snowdon. People like walking and climbing there. You can see beautiful lakes, waterfalls and caves. If you go to Wales, you'll see Eisteddfod. Wales is a country of music and song. Every year there is a competition to name the best poets, writers and musicians in the country.

Wales is the country of castles.  In 1301 Edward the First made his son Prince of Wales. And today Queen Elizabeth Second’s son, Charles is the Prince of Wales.

Ann, please, tell us about yourselves and your country.( Northern Ireland)
