Answer 1

Ответ:

1. The United Kingdom is located on the British Isles and is separated from mainland Europe by the North Sea, the Straits of Pas-de-Calais and the English Channel.

2.

The largest rivers in the UK are the Severn, Thames and Trent.

3.The capital is located in the south-east of the island of Great Britain, on a plain at the mouth of the Thames, near the North Sea.

4.There are rivers whose water level decreases in winter, as a result, the flow rate drops, and they freeze. Mountain rivers do not freeze.

5.The climate of Great Britain is temperate oceanic, mild and humid (wetter in Northern Ireland, colder and drier in Scotland). The weather is mainly formed by the warm ocean current of the Gulf Stream

6.The temperature often drops to 0oC, it would be lower, but not much. A slight frost in the morning, ice on the windshields of cars, sometimes snowfall. British winters tend to be very windy and wet, so don't forget to wrap up in something warm and waterproof. To this rather pathetic picture is added a very short duration of the day, which falls in London to 8 hours a day at the end of December.

7.The largest industrial centers in the UK are Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, London and Slough.

8.The most important ports in the UK are the Port of Filixstowe, Port of Hull, Port of Southampton and Port Tilbury

9.These are two beautiful and romantic medieval university towns. The oldest English university was opened in Oxford in the second half of the 11th century. Cambridge University is younger and dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. Oxford and Cambridge have always fiercely competed with each other.

10.Yes, Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy

11.Legislative power belongs to Queen Elizabeth II.

12.Yes, the Queen's powers are limited.
