Theme: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of four formerly
independent countries. They are 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 country is surrounded by seas
on all sides and is separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Strait of
Dover. The British Isles consist of more than 5,000 small islands. The biggest of them is
Great Britain. The geographical position favoured the development of the United Kingdom
as a great sea country. It's famous for great geographical discoveries and glorious victories
of the British fleet.
The country occupies an area of over 244,000 sq km. It is a densely populated country. The
population is about 58 million people. About 80 per cent of the population live in town.
The scenery and the landscape of Great Britain are very diverse. There you can find flat
valleys and high land, forests and lake areas. The highest mountain peaks are Ben Nevis in
Scotland and Snowdon in Wales. The rivers in Great Britain are not long. The Thames is
the most important waterway in the country, though the longest river is the Severn. The
Mersy is another long river which once played an important role in British trade and
commerce.
As for the climate of Great Britain, it is moderate and mild due to the influence of the warm
waters of the Gulf Stream. The summers are usually cooler than on the continent. There is a
lot of rain in autumn and winter. The weather in Britain is very changeable and the English
even say they have no climate but only weather, which through centuries has become a
favourite topic of conversation with the British.
English is not the only language, which people use in the UK. English is the official
language, but some people speak Gaelic in western Scotland, Welsh – in parts of northern
and central Wales.
Foreigners usually call the British people «English», but the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh
do not consider themselves to be English. The English are AngloSaxon in origin, but the
Welsh, the Scots and the Irish are not. They are Celts; descendants of the ancient people
who crossed over from Europe to the British Isles centuries before the Roman invasion. It
was these people whom the Germanic Angles and Saxons conquered in the 5th and 6th
centuries A.D.
The flag of the UK, known as the Union Jack, is made up of three crosses on a blue ground.
The blue colour refers to the seas surrounding Britain. The upright red cross is the cross of
St. George, the patron saint of England. The white diagonal cross is the cross of St.
Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. The red diagonal cross is the cross of St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland.
The United Kingdom is a highly developed industrial state. Historically British industry
started chiefly as heavy and textile industry. There are hardly any coal mines in Britain
today, but textile industry is still prospering. The United Kingdom produces and exports iron and steel products, machinery and electronics. The biggest industrial centres are
London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester.
The British say that they grow most of the food they consume, but of course, some of the
food like coffee, tea, fruit and wine is imported. The chief agricultural crops are wheat,
barley, oats, potatoes and fodder grasses.
The UK is a prosperous state with high living standards. But today Britain is no longer the
leading industrial nation in the world, which it used to be in the 19th century. A pioneer of
the Industrial Revolution, the former «world workshop» of the 19th century, Britain today
retains a respectable place among the most advanced countries of the world. She is the fifth
in terms of the size of the GDP (gross domestic product). Being a member of the European
Union (EU), more than a half of all Britain’s trade is maintained with the other comember
states. The second place in Britain’s foreign trade is taken by the USA, the Commonwealth
countries come third. Britain has an open economy, in which international trade plays a
vital role in the life of the country.

From The History Of New York.
At the beginning of the 17th century only the wigwams of the Iroquois stood where
the skyscrapers of New York now reach to the clouds. In 1605 the first Europeans
came to Manhattan from Holland. Capitan Henry Hudson, searching for the famous
Northwest Passage, discovered the land and reached a river to which he gave his
name. In 1626 the Dutch Governor, Peter Minuit, concluded with them what American business experts call «the most profitable commercial deal in the U.S.
history». With several bottles of gin and
a handful of trinkets that cost twentyfour dollars, he bought a large island from the
simplehearted, trusting Indians. Later the Indians named the island Manhatta
(presentday Manhattan, the main borough of New York, which in Iroquois means:
«They cheated us».
It seems that at the dawn of private enterprise, too, it was hard to understand the
difference between «a commercial deal» and cheating, between «a miracle of
enterprise» and robbery.
The Dutch founded a city there and gave it the name «New Amsterdam».
After the English had taken over the city in 1626 it was renamed New York after
the Duke of York who was the commander of the English army.
During the War of Independence New York was an important political centre, and for
five years from 1785 till 1790, the capital of the USA.
Since the end of the 19th century the city began to develop at breakneck speed. In
1888 the first skyscraper was put up. It had only 13 storeys, but the next had twenty
two and so on. Situated at the mouth of the Hudson River, which is open to ocean
going ships the year round, New York quickly became one of the largest ports in the
world.
At the turn of the twentieth century, millions of people driven by poverty emigrated to
the United States from various countries of Europe. They entered the New World
through New York, the «Gateway of America.» New York attracts people from all
over the world. That is what makes people call it the «Modern Babylon.»
Now New York is the biggest city in the USA and one of the largest cities of the
World. The population of this city is near 12 million people. It is the capital of New
York State.
There are 5 boroughs in New York — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and
Staten Island or Richmond. Today New York City is informally called «The Big
Apple». Some call New York a poem in stone and steel, others a soulless monster, but
It is unlike any other city in the world.
