Text - part 1 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles are separated from Europe by the English Channel. The British Isles are washed by the North Sea in the East and the Atlantic Ocean in the West.
The population of Great Britain is about 60 million. The largest cities of the country are London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The territory of Great Britain is divided into four parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England is the richest, the most populated part in the country. There are mountains in the north and in the west of England, but all the rest of the territory is a plain.
Scotland is a land of mountains. Its highest peak is Ben Nevis. The British Isles have many rivers. The longest of them is the Severn. It flows into the Irish Sea. The Thames is over 200 miles long. London, the capital of Great Britain, stands on it.
Geographical position of Great Britain is rather good as the country lies on the crossways of the sea routes from Europe to other parts of the world.

Text - part 2 In Great Britain it is never too hot or too cold for work or play in the open air. This is because of the sea, which keeps the island warm in winter and makes the air cool in summer.
The weather changes very often. You can never have the same kind of weather for a long time. In spring sunshine and showers follow each other so often during the day that an umbrella or a raincoat are things you want most in Great Britain.
In spring the weather is generally mild but sometimes they get really cold days. The summer is not so hot as on the continent, and warm days in autumn are beautiful. In winter they have all sorts of weather. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it snows, and they also have fog and frost. Still, in Great Britain it is never so cold in winter as on the continent, and they don't get much snow there. The rivers and lakes are seldom covered with ice. As the ice, if there is any, is not thick enough they seldom go skating on the rivers in Great Britain.
But the worst thing about the climate in Great Britain is the thick fog they so often have in autumn or winter. In London it is sometimes so thick that cars may run into one another.

English families
Text - part 3 Englishmen are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. The English are stay-at-home people. “There is no place like home”, they say.
They like to live in small houses with a small garden. People all over the world know the saying “The Englishman’s home is his castle”. They say that English people keep to their traditions even in meals. Porridge is the dish Englishmen are very fond of.
In the afternoon, at tea-time the English like to have a cup of tea with milk. Some Englishmen have their dinner late in the evening. For dinner they have soup, fish or meat, vegetables, pudding or fruit. For supper they usually have a glass of milk and a cake or a cup of tea and a sandwich. The English are tea-drinkers.
They have it many times a day. Some Englishmen have tea for break-fast, tea at lunch time, tea after dinner, tea at tea-time and tea with supper. Some English families have “high tea” or big tea and no supper. For high tea they may have cold meat, bread and butter, cakes, and, of course, a lot of tea.
