LONDON

London is the capital of England, its political, economic and commercial centre. London stretches for nearly thirty miles from north to south and for nearly thirty miles from east to went. The population of London with its suburbs is more than nine million.

London of today consists of three parts: the East End, the West End and the City. The East End of London is a poor district. It is full of factories and plants. It also includes the port and docks. The working people live in this part of the city. The West End is a historical part of the city. In the West End one can see wide streets, the finest cinemas, theatres and concert halls, the richest museums and picture galleries, the best hotels and the largest department stores.

The City of London is a very small part; only ten thousand people live there. The City is a financial and business centre. High office buildings stand on both sides of the streets. The buses are always full, for over 1000000 people come to the City every day.

The main square of London is Trafalgar Square. It was constructed to commemorate a triumphant victory of the British nation over Napoleon at Trafalgar in 1805. In the centre of the square there is the imposing Nelson Column. It was erected in 1842 in honour of Britain's naval hero Admiral Lord Nelson ,who was killed in that battle. In 1867 the figures of four great lions were placed at the foot of the Nelson Column.

Nowadays the square is the place where mass meetings and demonstrations are held. It is also popular with numerous visitors who come to London every year. London has many places of interest. Among them are the famous St.Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Westminster Abbey where English sovereigns have been crowned and buried for over 900years, the Tower of London, the British Museum and many others.

Задание 1. Прочтите и переведите устно на русский язык следующий текст.

The British Isles consists of two large islands, G.B. and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 244,000 square kilometers.

The UK is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. GB consists of England, Scotland and Wales and doesn't include Northern Ireland. The capital of the UK is London.

The British Isles are separated from European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of GB is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.

The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands, while the south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called the Lowlands.

There are a lot of rivers in GB, 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 if Gulf Stream influence the climate of the British Isles. The weather in GB is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening and the wrong side out. The English people say: "Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather." The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or twhen it rains all day long.

The weather is the favorite conversational topic in GB. After they greet each other they start talking the weather.

The most unpleasant aspect of English weather is fog and smog. This is extremely bad in big cities especially in London. The fog spreads everywhere so cars move along slowly and people can't see each other. They try not to be run over by a car but still accidents are frequent in the fog.

British Holidays

There are a number of holidays, which are celebrated in Great Britain every year.

One of them is, of course, New Year's Day on the first of January. It is not so popular in England as in our country, but it is rather popular in Scotland. On that day people usually visit their friends and there is a lot of dancing and eating. In Scotland people bring a piece of coal for good luck in the New Year.

The next holiday of the year is St. Valentine's Day. It is on the 14th of February. People buy or make Valentine cards and send them to the people they love.

In March there is Mother's Day. All the children, little or adult ones, come to their mothers on that day to express their love and gratitude.

In April there is Easter. At Easter children eat chocolate Easter eggs. Sometimes parents hide them in the house or in the garden and children have to look for them.

In June there is Father's Day. On Father's Day children give or send their fathers and grandfathers cards and presents.

On the 31st of October there is a Halloween. They say ghosts and witches come out on Halloween. People make lanterns out of pumpkins. Some people have Halloween parties and dress as witches and ghosts.

The 25th of December is Christmas Day. It is one of the people's favourite holidays. People put Christmas trees in their houses and decorate them. There are beautiful Christmas decorations in the streets. On Christmas Eve everybody puts the presents under the Christmas tree. People say that at night Father Christmas puts presents into the stockings which children usually hang on their beds. The traditional Christmas meal is roast turkey and Christmas pudding.
