II. Reading Comprehension

1. Read and translate the following text. Use a dictionary if necessary. Great britain

The
full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland. Great Britain has several different names. Some
people say “Britain”, or “the United Kingdom”, or just “UK”.
In everyday speech “Great Britain” is used to mean the United
Kingdom.

The
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on
the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands,
Great Britain and Ireland, and more than five thousand smaller
islands. Their total area is over 244,000 square kilometers. It is
twice smaller than France and Spain and it is the 75^th
place among other countries in the world.

The
United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Cardiff,
Edinburgh and Belfast respectively. Great Britain consists of
England, Scotland and Wales and does not include Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland occupies one third of the island of Ireland. The
bigger part of Ireland is the Irish Republic.

The
capital of the UK is London. The British Isles are separated from
the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The
western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and
the Irish Sea.

The
flag of the United Kingdom is known as Union Jack.

The
surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland
is mountainous and is called the Highlands, while the south, which
has beautiful valleys and plains, is called the Lowlands. The north
and west of England are mountainous, but all the rest – east,
center and south-east – is a vast plain. In the centre of England
there is a range of hills called the Pennines, which are also known
as the “backbone of England”. The mountains are not very high.
Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain (1343m).

There
are a lot of rivers in Great Britain, but they are not very long.
Most of the rivers flow into the North Sea. The Severn is the
longest river (220 miles), while the Thames (215 miles) is the
deepest and the most important one. Some of the British greatest
ports are situated in the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey, Trent,
Tyne, Clyde and Bristol Avon. There are many beautiful lakes in the
mountainous parts of the country.

The
UK is one of the world’s smaller countries. Its population is over
58 million. About 80% of the population is urban. The main
nationalities are: English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish. In Great
Britain there are a lot of immigrants from former British Asian and
African colonies.

The
mountains, the warm currents of the Atlantic Ocean influence the
climate of Great Britain. It is mild the whole year round. Winters
are not severely cold and summers are rarely hot. Many people think
that the weather is cold and wet in Britain all the year round. But
it isn’t! True, it sometimes rains and even snows for days and
days, but every year there are weeks of beautiful sunny weather when
the British take off their sweaters and go out to sunbathe.

Great
Britain is not very rich in mineral resources, it has some deposits
of coal and iron ore and vast deposits of oil and gas that were
discovered in the North Sea. Apart from coal and iron ore Britain
has very few natural resources and mostly depends on import.

British
agriculture provides only half of the food the country needs. The
other half and most of the raw materials for its industries such as
oil and various metals have to be imported. Britain also has to
import timber, cotton, fruit and farm products.

Great
Britain is a highly industrialized country. New industries have been
developed in the last three decades. The main industrial centers are
London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow and
Bristol. Britain is known as one of the world’s largest producers
and exporters of machinery, electronics, textile, aircraft and
navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is
ship-building.

The
UK is a parliamentary monarchy. The Queen is the Head of State. But
in practice, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. She inherits the
title, and so is not elected by people. The country is ruled by the
elected government with a Prime Minister at the head. The British
Parliament consists of two Houses: the House of Lords and the House
Commons. There are three main political parties in Great Britain:
the Labour, the Conservative and the Liberal parties. There’s no
written constitution in Great Britain, only precedents and
traditions.

Great
Britain is a country with old cultural traditions and customs. The
famous educational centers are Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
They are considered to be the intellectual centers of Europe. The
education is not free, it is very expensive.

Nowadays
all Welsh, Scottish and Irish people speak English (even if they
speak their own languages as well), but all the countries have their
own special accents and dialects, and their people are easily
recognizable as soon as they speak. A southern English accent is
generally accepted to be the most easily understood, and this is the
accent usually taught to foreigners.

Britain
is a small beautiful and crowded country. Numerous historical and
cultural places of interest on its territory remind of the
tremendous past of the country.
