It is very good when you hear: “Yes, I do”, and start talking. People of different countries and nations have to get along well with the progress in world trade and technology as well as with each other.

Teacher: During your report you used such names as “The United Kingdom” or “Great Britain”. Are they different or the same? If they are different, tell us about the difference between them.

The Fifth group: We shall explain you the difference between these meanings. The matter is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the official name of the state which is situated on the British Isles. So Great Britain is often called “Britain” or “the United Kingdom”, or “The UK”. It consists of four countries which are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each of them has a capital, but London is the capital of England, of Great Britain and of the United Kingdom.

The UK consists of two main islands: Great Britain and Ireland. But only Northern Ireland is the part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Ireland is an independent republic.

The land of the UK is 244000 sq. km. The population is about 58 million people. Great Britain consists of three parts. They are: England, Scotland and Wales. The UK is separated from France by the English Channel and Strait of Dover. The UK is also washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the North and the North Sea in the east. Everyone who was born in the UK is considered British.

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 flag was created in 1801. it symbolizes the union of England, Scotland and Wales. It is called “Jack” because the flag is flown on the jack staff of ships to show their nationality.

In British the Queen is the head of the state, but she doesn’t rule the country. The Queen is a symbol of the country history and traditions.

British people are very conservative. They are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. But traditions are different in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Презентация)
