LifeofGreatBritain
There were many outstanding events
in the history of Great Britain.
England was added to the Roman Em
pire in 43 A. D.
Roman invasion played a very
important role in the history of the
country.
From the History Of Great Britain
Of Great Britain
Of Great Britain
I want to describe an episode from the
history of Great Britain.
It concerns the Roman conquest of
Britain.
In 55 B. C. a Roman army of
10 000 men crossed the Channel and
invaded Britain.
The Celts who inhabited Britain saw
their ships approaching and rushed to
attack the invaders in the sea as they
were landing.
Climate of Great Britain
Great Britain is situated on the
islands.
It is washed by seas from all the sides.
That’s why the climate and the nature
of Great Britain are very specific.
It is not very cold in winter and never
very hot in summer.
There is no ice on the lakes and rivers
in winter.
It rains very often in all the seasons.
The weather changes very often.
National emblems in Great Britain
Britain
The red rose was the emblem of
Lancastrians, the white rose that of
the Yorkists, the two Houses fighting
for the English throne in the War of
Roses.
But their struggle ended by marriage
of Henry VII, the Lancastrian with
Princess Elizabeth, the Yorkist.
The red rose has since become the
emblem of England.
The thistle is the national emblem of
Scotland.
It happened in very old times when
Norsemen wanted to settle in this
country.
UkPoliticalSystem
The United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland is
a constitutional monarchy.
The power of Queen Elizabeth II is not
absolute.
It is limited by Parliament.
The legislative body, Parliament,
consists of two chambers: the House
of Lords and the House
of Commons.
GreatBritain
The United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland is situated on
the British Isles.
They lie to the northwest of Europe.
The British Isles are separated from
the continent by the narrow strait
of water which is called the English
Channel.
The United Kingdom consists of four
parts: England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland.
England, the central part, occupies
the most of the island of Great Britain.
OurStreet
I live in Sosnova Street.
It is a very quiet street on the outskirts
of our city.
It’s very green in spring and summer.
There are a lot of trees in it.
The sidewalks are lined with limetrees.
There are also many fruittrees and li
lacs in the people’s gardens.
In May the whole street turns into
a blooming garden.
There isn’t much traffic in Sosnova
Street.
The air is fresh, it isn’t polluted with
gases.
I like to come back to our street after
a day spent in the centre of the city.
My Home Town
I live in Poltava.
Poltava is quite an old town.
It was founded in the middle of the
12th century.
The Most Beautiful Place onearth
onearth
I know some English proverbs and
here is one of them — “There is no
place like home”.
Really, the best place is our own town
or village.
We never forget it when we leave it.
There are many beautiful places
where people live.
They are near forests or woods, rivers
or seas, lakes or ponds and even in
the mountains.
Very often we think that such places
are the most beautiful.
By the way, I think that other places
have no fine parks and buildings.
The Town Where I Live
My native town is situated in the
Kharkiv Region.
It is an hour ride from Kharkiv.
Some people can’t imagine their
lives without theatres, multistoreyed
buildings and broad avenues — all
that’s typical of every big industrial
city.
There are no theatres, multistoreyed
buildings and broad avenues in my
town, but still I do like it because I was
born here, my parents live here and
I’ve spent almost all my life here.
