The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
The UK is the official name of
the British Kingdom. It occupies most of the territory of the British Isles and
consists of four countries. They are England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff
and Belfast.
The UK is
situated off the west coast of Europe. It is separated from the European
continent by the English Channel. The total area of Great Britain is over
244,000 square kilometers.
The UK is an
island state: it is made up of two large islands and several much smaller ones.
The two main islands are Great Britain and Lowland Ireland.
The island of Great Britain is subdivided into two main regions: Britain
and Highland Britain.
The highest
mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. There are a lot of rivers in
Great Britain, but they are not very long. The Severn is the
longest river, the Thames is the deepest and the most important
one. Great Britain has beautiful lakes. The best known of them is Loch
Ness, legendary home of the famous monster. On the north-west of the
Pennine system lies the Lake District, containing beautiful
lakes.
The largest
cities of Great Britain are London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds,
Edinburgh, Glasgow and Cardiff.
The population of the UK is over 59
million people. English is the official language.
The different
parts of Britain have their own emblems: England – the red
rose, Scotland – the thistle, Wales – the daffodil, Ireland – the
shamrock.
The flag of the UK is known as the Union Jack.
It is made up of three crosses: the cross of St.George (the patron saint of
England), the cross of St.Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland) and the cross
of St.Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland).

The climate
of Great Britain is mild and temperate due to the influ-. ence of the Gulf Stream. That means
that it is never too hot or too cold. Snow is a regular feature of the higher
areas only. Occasionally, in lower-lying
parts winter can be without snow at all.
Usually the temperature is between 5°C
below zero and 23°C above zero.
The driest period is from March to June and the wettest months are from October to January. It seldom
snows heavily in winter, frost is rare. January and February are usually the coldest months, July and August are the warmest ones. Sometimes
the wind brings whirlwinds or hurricanes.
Droughts are rare.
The lack of extremes is the reason why, on the few occasions when it gets very hot or very frosty, the
country seems to be totally unprepared for it. A bit of snow and a few days of frost and the
trains stop working and
the roads are blocked. If the temperature goes above 27°C,
people behave as if they
were in Sahara and the temperature makes front-page headlines. But these things happen so
rarely that it is not worth organizing life
to be ready for them.
The bad reputation of Britain's climate is due to its
changeability. There is
a saying that Britain doesn't have a climate, it only has weather. But English weather is never the same
two days running. One day it rains, the next day it may be sunny and then it may be cold again. It
may not rain very much
altogether, but you can never be sure of a dry day. There can be cool days in
July and some quite warm days in January.
So, we may say that the British climate has three main
features: it is mild,
humid, and changeable. This humid and mild climate is good for plants and flowers. That's why Great Britain is such a
green country, with long rich grass for the
cattle and sheep, and beautiful lawns in the gardens.
