It is rather difficult to understand the British way of ruling the country. 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 a symbol of the country history and its tradition. She is very петь. She travels about the HK, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. So do all the members of the Royal family: tile Queen's husband, her son Prince Charles, the Queen's daughter Princess Anna and Princess Margaret.

The real power in the country belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government. The British Parliament has two "houses": the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Lords doesn't have much power but it is very important as it can offer and change laws, it can delay laws too. The House of Commons makes laws about the policy of the country, taxes and many other things.

The members of the House of Lords are not elected. These members are permanent. They are often aristocrats, people of the church, lawyers and former politicians.

The members of the House of Commons are elected. The British people elect 650 members ot the House of Commons every 5 years.

London is one of the largest cities in the world. About 7 million people live there. London is more than two thousand years old. People come from countries all over the world to visit London. They go to theatres and museums; they look at interesting old buildings, many of them are hundreds of years old; they sit or walk in the beautiful parks. London's most famous sights are: Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Trafalgar Square is the main square of the center of London, where a number of famous building and monuments including the National Gallery and Nelson’s Column are situated. The square is popular with visitors, who come to relax by the fountains there or to feed the birds. Also you can see the National Gallery. It has got a fine collection of European paintings.

Piccadilly Circus is the meeting point of six streets.

Hyde Park has got a lake in the middle called the Serpentine, and you can take a boat on the water. It is a good place to get away from the crowds and the noise of the city.

Buckingham Palace is the London home of the Queen and her family.

St. James's Park is one of the royal parks. Also you can see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The Houses of Parliament is the seat of British government. It stands on the left bank of river Thames. There is only one building there, but it is called the Houses because it is divided into two Chambers — the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Big Ben is the name of the huge clock on the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament.

Westminster Abbey is royal church. Here you can see the tombs of many British kings and queens and famous people.
