1. Great Britain

2.

There
are a lot of different
countries in the world such
as the UK, the USA, Russia
and so on. They have got a
lot of in common and at
the same time they are
different.

3.

As
for me, I like such
country as the UK because
it has a lot of common with
my country, I mean the
Russian Federation. I would
like to share some facts
about the UK with you.

4.

I
find interesting to invite you to
find some interesting facts about
the people and traditions of this
mysterious country.

5.

First
of all I would like to tell some
words about the people of this great
country. The population of the UK is
63 182 178 people. It is mixed. It has
got a very tough back grounds
because the were a lot of wars.
People had to move to other lands to
live common lives. But in spite of this
fact British people are very hospitable
and intelligent. They like to be
independent and punctual.

Due
to these
characteristics the British
have a lot of traditions
which spread all over the
world.

7.

For
example, they have a very
good tradition connected
with St. Valentine's Day. On
this day people in love send
special cards or valentines to
their sweethearts. They follow
this tradition from the old
times.

8.

St.Valentine
married people who
were in love against the King’s
will. The King ordered his soldiers
to put him into the prison. The next
day St.Valentine was executed.
But all people in love remember
this day as the 14 of February –
the Day of St.Valentian.

9.

I
find this tradition very interesting.
I think that love is united people
all over the world. Due to it we
don’t have wars and cruelty
nowadays. It is the only thing
which helps us to be kind to each
other. Love and to be loved!
