the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great
Britain and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total
area is over 244,000 square kilometres.
The United Kingdom is made
up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Their capitals are London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast respectively.
Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales and does not
include Northern Ireland. But in everyday speech "Great Britain" is used
to mean the United Kingdom. The capital of the UK is London.
The
British Isles are separated from the continent by the North Sea and the
English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the
Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.
Shakespeare called Britain a
"precious stone set in the silver sea" because of its natural beauty. It
has a varied countryside where you can find mountains, plains, valleys
and sandy beaches. Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain, but it
is only 1343 metres high.
There are a lot of rivers in Great
Britain, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river,
while the Thames is the deepest and the most important one.
The
mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of Gulf Stream
influence the climate of the British Isles. It is mild the whole year
round.
The UK is one of the world's smaller countries. Its population is over 58 million. About 80% of the population live in cities.

The UK is a highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of
the world's largest producers and exporters of machinery, electronics,
textile, aircraft and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries
of the country is shipbuilding.
The UK is a constitutional monarchy. In law, the Head of State is the Queen.

In practice, the Queen reigns, but does not rule. The country is ruled
by the elected government with the Prime Minister at the head. The
British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the
House of Commons.
There are three main political parties in Great Britain: the Labour, the Conservative and the Liberal parties. Перевидите пожалуйста
