You study English. But what do you know about the countries where it is spoken? English is introduced in the South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries. To the North-West of the continent of Europe there lay two big islands, called The British Isles. One of these islands consists of England, Scotland and Walls. The smaller one is Ireland. The Northern Sea separates England from Germany and Scandinavian countries, while The English Channel separates England from France and Belgium. The highest mountains are in Scotland and Walls. They are not higher that those in the Crimea. In North-West there are many beautiful lakes with green grassy shores all around. There are many rivers in Britain, but none of them are very long. The Thames in which London is situated or the Severn which flows into the Irish Sea are the longest rivers. Many rivers join by the channels. So, it is possible to travel to any part of the country by water. The climate is different from that part of our country. It is much milder; snow never lies very long on the ground in winter. There's much rain and fog in winter and few sunny days. The population is over 52 million people. London is one of the widest cities of the world*. 41
