«THE UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and NORTHERN IRELAND».

Scotland. It is a country of great variety with its own unique character and strong traditions. It is a very  beautiful  country  famous  for  the  diversity  of  its  landscapes.  Scottish  lakes,  called  "lochs"  are surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains.

The most famous of the Scottish lochs is Loch Ness, because of the mystery of its monster. It is not the largest lake in Britain, but it is 35 km long. The weather of the lake is dark and always very cold. It is a strange creature with two humps in its back, the head of a snake, a giraffe-like neck and two very short front legs. People called the water monster Nessie. The Loch Ness monster is a real attraction for people from all parts of Britain and from many other countries.

Wales.  It  is  a small  country  but  there  is  no  other  part  of  the  British  Isles  where  national  spirit  is stronger, national pride more intense or national traditions more cherished than in Wales.

The 800-year-old National Eisteddfod, an annual festival of Welsh music and poetry has been held early  in  August  since  the  12th century.  It  attracts  Welsh  people  from  all  over  the  world.  Welsh  is  the official language of the festival. The program includes male choirs, brass-band concerts, many children's events drama, arts, crafts.

The most impressive ceremony of the festival is the crowning of the Bard. When the best poet's name is called, he comes forward to the platform. There he is given a purple robe to wear. A crown of golden oak leaves is placed on his head.

England. England means different things to different people. To some of them it is "a fortress built by nature" to some - "a foggy Albion".

Some people call it "the workshop of the world", others - "a land of sleepy rural beauty".

One  of  the  oldest  prehistoric  monuments is  Stonehenge. The  monument  consists  of  two  circles  of huge stone blocks.

Inside of them there are two groups of stones in the shape of a horseshoe. It is a ritual monument of Druids used for performing mystic rites at dawn on Midsummmer Day - 24th  June.

Northern Ireland. There is an old Irish saying that Ireland must be the cleanest place in the world, because God washes it every day. Ireland is also called the "Emerald Isle' because of its beautiful green fields.

Everybody  knows  that  the  national  emblem  of  Ireland  is  a  shamrock.  It  illustrates  the  Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish. Inside the shamrock there is a red hand. Why is it here? The legend

tells us that 3000 years ago two Vikings chiefs went with their men in big boats to Ireland. The first man to touch the Irish land would be the king. Then one of the chiefs cut off his right hand and threw it. So he was the first and he became the king of Ireland.

“The British Press”.

The papers in Britain are divided into two groups: the quality and the tabloids.

The quality papers are large in size and have detailed articles about national and international events. The tabloids are smaller in size, have shorter articles and have more pictures. The articles in the tabloids are shorter and about less important events. Sometimes they are about private lives of well-known people. They are daily and Sunday papers. Sunday papers are larger than daily papers; they are national, and that means they can be bought all over Britain.

Many papers and magazines are printed in colour and a number of papers produce colour magazines as a part of Saturday and Sunday papers. They provide reading material about fashion, clothes, cooking, diet, house and home, motoring and holidays. They published sections with articles on travel food and wine, and other leisure topics.

The great number of magazines are published for woman. Their bright covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so. There are  magazines for motorists, farmers, gardeners, nurses, computer programmers and many others. There is always something to read.

Books are our best friend 

Since I was a child, books have played a significant role in my life and are still my best friends. I enjoy how books transport me to other worlds and help me discover new things. Not only has reading books helped me develop my imagination and creativity, but it has also taught me invaluable life lessons.

Books contain a wealth of knowledge and information. They enable us to learn new information and investigate new ideas. Whenever we read a book, we are transported to a new world and immersed in the narrative. The development of my imagination and creativity, as well as our vocabulary and reading abilities, have been aided by books.

One of my favourite aspects about books is that they are always available to me. When I am feeling lonely or uninterested, I know I can escape into the pages of a book. I can immerse myself for hours in an excellent book and forget everything else.

Additionally, books have taught us vital life lessons. They have taught us the value of friendship, affection, and generosity. We have learned about various cultures and historical events by reading books. We have also learned about animals and the environment, which has increased my awareness of my surroundings.

Books are our best friend essay 10 lines 

  1. - Books are our best friends because they can teach us so much.

Holidays in Great Britain

There are only six Public holidays a year in Great Britain, the days on which people need not go to work. Besides public holidays there are other festivals and celebrations that people look forward to. In Scotland, the new year’s day is also a public holiday. It is called Hogmanay. It is the most important celebration of the year for Scottish people. In London lots of people go to Trafalgar Square and wait for the famous bell Big Ben to strike at midnight.

On 14 February British people celebrate Valentine’s Day. People in love give each other cards and presents. In the evening there are special parties, and couples sometimes go to restaurants for a romantic dinner.

The day before Lent starts is called Shrove Tuesday. On this day the Christian tradition is to use all the fat foods in the kitchen before Lent begins. Shrove Tuesday in Great Britain is also called Pancake Day because it is traditional to eat pancakes.

Mother's day is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday in Lent. It is a day when people honour their mothers.

Easter is the most important festivity of the year for Christians. People usually dye eggs for Easter and bake hot cross buns. Hot cross buns are typical on Good Friday in Britain. On Easter Day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

April Fool’s Day is on 1 April. It’s the custom in the UK to play a trick or a joke on someone on this day.

The holiday called Halloween is celebrated on October 31st of each year. Halloween is not an official holiday. Children in Britain dress up as witches or ghosts and go ‘trick or treating. They walk from house to house and knock at the door. When an adult opens the door, the children shout "trick or treat." Most people then give them a “treat”.

On 5 November, people remember the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by celebrating ‘Bonfire Night’. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of Guy Fawkes, which are burned on the fire. The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder that Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament.

Christmas Day is observed on the 25th of December. On Christmas Eve in the homes there is a great air of expectation. Children decorate the fir-tree with tinsel, coloured lights and toys. The houses are decorated with holly and a bunch of mistletoe. The Christmas bird, nowadays usually a turkey, is cooked and stuffed by housewives. It is followed by Christmas pudding, which is made with dried fruit and brandy. Sometimes a coin is put in the pudding as a surprise.

My future profession and career

What do you want to be when you grow up? We have heard this question many times during our school years. Perhaps, it was difficult for us to give a definite answer earlier. But now we understand that the time to choose our future profession has come. Finishing school is the beginning of an independent life for millions of school-leavers. Many roads are open before us: technical schools, colleges and universities. Centuries ago there were only a few jobs: people were farmers, bakers, butchers or carpenters. Today there are thousands of different kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. No wonder that it is not an easy thing to make the right choice.

When choosing a future career, we should consider different factors. In my opinion, money is one of the most important factors when you make a choice. There are highly paid jobs and low-paid jobs. For example, a businessman, a president or a film star, are highly paid jobs. A worker, a doctor or an engineer, are low-paid jobs. I think everybody wants to earn as much money as possible. Training, promotional prospects and conditions should be also taken into account.

On the other hand, it's good when you get satisfaction from your job. It is very important to choose a profession that suits your interests. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially important. Some jobs are considered to be more suitable for men and others for women. For example, the professions of secretary or nurse are more suitable for women. A lifeguard or a pilot are more likely the jobs for men. You should also decide whether you want to work indoors or outdoors.

To make the right choice, you should take into account your traits of character. It goes without saying that to become a good doctor you must be patient, caring and kind. Teacher's work requires love for children, profound knowledge of subjects, and the ability to explain. A secretary has to be efficient and careful in order to do her work quickly and accurately. Salespeople need to be friendly and persuasive, to get people buy their products.

There are so many people who influence us in choosing our occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in our choices.

My father works for an international company as a managing director. It is a highly paid job and it offers a lot of opportunities. You can travel abroad and meet different people. My father is a friendly person and he is easy to talk to. He thinks that I must choose my future profession according to my taste and preferences. I respect him and I want to become a businessman, too.

I have always been interested in economics and I am good at Maths. I have an aptitude for working with people, and I think I'm rather communicative and have good social skills. I have good analytical abilities and I am good at problem-solving. Besides, I am good at English. English has become the standard language for all kinds of international business communications. To know English today is absolutely necessary for every businessman.

To become a successful businessman you should know a lot. So after finishing school I want to enter the university and to study marketing or management. Management deals mainly with people. A manager is a person who directly supervises people in an organization. Managers spend a great deal of time communicating, coordinating and making decisions affecting the daily operations of their organization. Almost everything, a manager does, involves decisions, and in decision-making there is always uncertainty and risk. So managing is a very interesting, but difficult, job.

Marketing deals with market research and commercial activity in general. It involves analyzing business situations, evaluating market opportunities, developing market strategies and controlling their implementation. It is important for a specialist in marketing to be flexible and prepared to make adjustments where necessary, as it is unlikely that any marketing plan will succeed exactly as planned.

I haven't decided yet what to study. But I still have time to think and to choose.
