Queen Elizabeth II 

 Card № 3  

You are to give a talk about the UK. 

Remember to say:    

- where the UK is situated and what it is washed by;  

- what parts the UK consisits of and what their capitals are; 

- who the power in the country belongs to.   

 I'd like to give a talk about the UK. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The country is situated in the British Isles. So, the UK is an island state. The two main islands are Great Britain and Ireland. The two islands are separated by the Irish Sea. The UK is separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. The UK is also washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the north and by the North Sea in the east.   

   The UK consists of four parts which are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The flag of the United Kingdom 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). 

 In Britain the Queen is the head of state, but in fact, she doesn't rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is the symbol of the country, its history and traditions. She travels about the United Kingdom, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. The Queen of Great Britain is also the Head of the Commonwealth and the Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 

But the real power in the UK belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government. The British Parliament has two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The members of the House of Commons are elected. The British people elect 650 members of the House of Commons every five years. The members of the House of Lords are not elected, they are selected. These members are permanent. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
