UNITED KINGDOM

The British Isles lie in the north-west of Europe. They consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller ones. Great Britain, the largest island in Europe, includes England, Scotland, and Wales. Their capital cities are London, Edinburgh, and Cardiff.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom (U.K.)

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy: Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state of the UK. Over 61 million people live in the United Kingdom.

LONDON London is the capital of England, the capital of Great Britain, and the capital of the United Kingdom. It is the largest town in Europe and one of the oldest towns in the world.

Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London (and historically as The Tower), is an historic fortress and scheduled monument in central London, on the north bank of the River Thames. It is the oldest building used by the British government. The tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as the Princes in the Tower and the future Queen Elizabeth I). It has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armory, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint, a public records office, an observatory, and since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. Today the Tower of London is cared for by an independent charity, Historic Royal Palaces. TOURIST ATTRACTION IN LONDON The Tower of London

TOURIST ATTRACTION IN LONDON The Tower Bridge The Tower Bridge is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present color dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a chocolate brown color.

Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster. Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was subsequently acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte, and known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. TOURIST ATTRACTION IN LONDON Buckingham Palace

The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the seat of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the government buildings of Whitehall. The palace contains around 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases and 5 kilometers of corridors. Although the building mainly dates from the 19th century, the remaining elements of the original historic buildings include Westminster Hall, used today for major public ceremonial events such as liying in state, and the Jewel Tower. After a fire in 1834, the present Houses of Parliament were built over the next 30 years. The exterior of the Palace of Westminster—especially the Clock Tower—is recognized worldwide, and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in London TOURIST ATTRACTION IN LONDON Palace of Westminster

Studying in English involves not only the memorization and use of verbal and grammatical structures in speech, but also the assimilation of certain regional studies material. This includes cultural and geographical features countries of the language being studied, holidays, traditions, famous figures, writers and much more.

Regional studies, as a rule, begins with the study of general data about the country, in the case of the English language - of course, Great Britain. At the same time, it’s a good idea to use all the main channels for transmitting information. You can watch a film or presentation about Great Britain, listen to a recording that shows the peculiarities of British pronunciation, or do a project on the main attractions of the country.

To help parents and teachers, I have collected several options for presentations on the topic “Great Britain”. Choose any one that meets your goals and requirements.

To write the sightseeing of Great Britain.

London is one of the biggest and most interesting cities in the world. More than 8 million people live in London and its suburbs. London is more than twenty centuries old.

London lies on both sides of the river Thames which is navigable all the year round. There are many beautiful bridges over the Thames.

The important parts of London are the City, the West End and East End. The heart of London is the City-its commercial and business centre. It is a very small part of London: the City is only one square mile in area. High office buildings, banks, firms stand on both sides of the streets. Over 1,000,000 people come to the City every day. And at the end of the day the businessmen, clerks go home and the City becomes silent and empty.

There are some ancient and famous buildings within the City, such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Wren’s masterpiece, and the Tower of London which was built nine centuries ago and used as a royal palace, a fortress and political prison. Now it is a museum.
