The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland is situated on the British Isles. They lie to the
north-west of Europe and are separated from the
continent by the narrow strait of water. It is called the
English Channel. Seas and oceans influence the British
climate. It is too cold in winter but never very hot in
summer.
The United Kingdom consists of four parts: England,
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. England is the
central part, it occupies the most of the island of Great
Britain. Each part has its capital: the capital of England
is London, Scotland has Edinburgh, Wales has Cardiff,
and the main city of Northern Ireland is Belfast.

There are about 64 million people living in Great
Britain, most of them are English, Irish and Scottish.
They all have special traditions for celebrating holidays
and cook special food for festivals. All the members of
families take part in these events. People in Great
Britain are polite and kind.
Many famous people were born and lived in Great
Britain. One of them is William Shakespeare, who
wrote tragedies "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet",
"Macbeth" and other plays. William Shakespeare was
born in 1564 and lived in Stratford-on-Avon with his
wife and children. Shakespeare died in 1616.

Great Britain is the state
of the future. I dream of
going to London and
seeing the most
wonderful sights of the
capital of the United
Kingdom and I hope it
will come true one day.

England’s first telephone directory was
published in 1880 and had only 248 names
and addresses (there were no telephone
numbers as you had to call the operator
and ask for someone’s name to get
connected).

The official London home of the British
monarch (king or queen) is Buckingham
Palace. It is the oldest royal residence in the
world that is still being used by the royal
family.
