Great Britain

TASK 3: TRANSLATE THE TEXT

Great Britain

Great Britain is situated on a large island lying to the West of Europe. It consists of England, Scotland and Wales.

Long ago the greater part of the country was covered with forests. Now there are practically no forests there, but there very many trees that give beauty to the countryside. Some parts of England are really beautiful. There are many rivers lakes, hills and mountains there.

The rivers in Britain are not long. Many of them are joined by canals, so that it is quite possible to travel by water from one end of England to the other.

The rivers never freeze there. In winter there is much rain and few sunny days. The summers are never very hot, and there is often much rain. One of the chief reasons for such a mild climate in Great Britain is that a stream of warm water, called the Gulf Stream, washes the Northern coast of the country.

London is the capital of England. It is also the capital of the United Kingdom, which consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield are big towns in England. The capital of Northern Ireland is Belfast.

Scotland is situated in the North of Great Britain while Wales is situated in the South. Edinburg is the capital of Scotland.

Wales is a splendid country both for its traditions and for its scenery. Some of the mountains there are wooded, others are bare and wild. In some places the mountains run right into the sea. The little cottages and farmhouses on the slopes of the mountains are very lovely.

The quite lakes and rivers of the valleys are very nice. Wales is the biggest mining centre in Great Britain. The chief town there is Cardiff.

Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburg are University towns of Great Britain.
