FRANCE

This large country is located in the western part of Europe. We will start our acquaintance with France from its capital - Paris. Paris stands on a river called the Seine. Tourists who come to the French capital always try to sail along the Seine in a pleasure boat. It is very convenient to see the city from it.

Here we are sailing past the grandiose cathedral. This is the world-famous Notre Dame Cathedral. It stands on an island in the center of Paris.

But the Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world. The museum itself is located in a large old palace, and the entrance to it is decorated with a modern glass pyramid (it is not visible from our boat).

The Louvre has a huge number of paintings and sculpture tours. The most famous painting is La Gioconda by the great Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.

Having sailed a little more, we will see an amazingly beautiful bridge, along the edges of which there are golden winged horses on high columns. This is the Alexander III Bridge, named after the Russian Tsar.

And now the most famous building of Paris, the symbol of this city, the Eiffel Tower, appeared ahead. It was built over 100 years ago by the engineer Eiffel. Openwork, seemingly very light tower consists of 15 thousand metal parts. Its height is 321 meters. You can climb the tower. For this, there are elevators in it. Many rise to the first level. Those who are braver rise to the second level - a little lower than the middle of the tower. And the most daring rise to the third level, to the top of the tower...

Very interesting in Paris. But we need to hurry. I would like to quickly get to a wonderful fairy tale country located nearby - European Disneyland. This is a grand amusement park in which every child will find attractions to their liking.

Not far from Paris is one of the most wonderful places in France - Versailles. Once there was the residence of the French king, and now it is a museum. The Royal Palace in Versailles is surrounded by a beautiful park with fountains and sculptures.

And another excursion awaits us in France. We go to the banks of the Loire River to visit a real old castle. There are many castles here. Some of them are impregnable fortresses, others are more likely to be called palaces.

What famous French people do you know? Of course there are many. Let's name one that the whole world knows. This is an outstanding traveler, explorer of the ocean, environmentalist Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910 - 1997).

GREAT BRITAIN

The UK is located northwest of France. Most of it is located on the island of Great Britain, hence the name of the country. The capital of Great Britain - London stands on the River Thames.

In the central part of the city you can see its main attractions. First of all, it is Buckingham Palace (1). The royal family lives here. The palace is guarded by guards in red uniforms and tall black hats. Every day, tourists gather to watch how the solemn changing of the guard takes place.

On the Thames embankment stands a very beautiful Parliament building (2). Its tower with the main clock of the country is visible from afar. This watch has four dials, and the length of the minute hands exceeds 4 meters! In 2012, the tower became known as the "Elizabeth Tower" in honor of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.


Near the river is located tower fortress(3). And nearby, Tower Bridge (4) with two large towers is thrown across the Thames.

Great Britain is the birthplace of many famous people. Among them are the zoologist and writer Gerald Durrell (1925 - 1995), who became famous for his books about animals and did a lot to protect nature.

Comprehension and understanding of the acquired knowledge

Read the text. Use this information to prepare a report about the countries of Europe.

Great Britain is separated from France by the English Channel (translated from French as "sleeve"). A long tunnel has been laid under it, through which you can travel by train from one country to another.

“Once upon a time there was a respectable and noble man. His first wife died, and he married a second time, and to such a quarrelsome and arrogant woman as the world has never seen ... "

Now it is one of the largest and most famous universities in Europe. Students from all over the world study here, including from Russia.

Notre Dame Cathedral or Norte Dame de Paris- one of the main symbols of Paris. This is a huge Gothic cathedral, which was built for almost two hundred years - from 1163 to 1345. Norte Dame de Paris is a real architectural masterpiece, which annually comes to see 14 million tourists. Unfortunately, in 2019 there was a terrible fire in the cathedral.

Field of Mars- This is a huge and very beautiful park located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The place where the park is now located got its name back in the 18th century. In those days, there was a huge military parade ground for parades and military exercises conducted by the nearby military school. It was this parade ground that was named after the god of war Mars, the Field of Mars. Over time, the appearance of the square and its purpose changed dramatically, but the name remained the same.

The fact is that this country has united several historically established independent regions: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Country on the map

The United Kingdom is located on several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It has a land border with only one state - Ireland. Other neighbors are separated from England either by the English Channel or the North Sea. For example, across the English Channel from the British Isles are France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and on the other side of the North Sea Germany, Denmark and Norway. If you sail across the Atlantic Ocean far to the north, then Iceland can also be called a neighbor of England.

From the history of the country

The history of the country is rich in various events. It is believed that the first people settled on the islands as early as 30,000 years ago. These were the tribes of the Celts, Britons and Gaels. At the beginning of our era, the islands were conquered by the Roman Empire, which ruled there for 400 years.

After that, the peoples living on the islands began to gradually form their own states. So, in the 9th century, the Scottish kingdom appeared, in the 10th century - the Kingdom of England, Wales and Ireland also stood out. Over the centuries, the countries of the British Isles have waged numerous wars both among themselves and with their neighbors, especially with France. They united in unions and disintegrated, seized each other's territories and grew overseas colonies.

By the end of the 16th century, the small kingdoms of England and Scotland had turned into the vast British Empire, which in a few centuries became the largest state in the history of mankind. The empire included all of the British Isles, colonies in Africa, all of India, most of North America, all of Australia, and vast territories in Asia and Oceania. At the beginning of the 20th century, a quarter of the world's population was under the rule of the British crown. The collapse of the British Empire lasted almost the entire last century, but it is impossible to say that this process has ended even now.

Flag and coat of arms

The flag of Great Britain, as well as the country itself, has changed many times. Now on its panel several symbols are depicted, symbolizing the main parts of the country: the cross of St. George symbolizes England, the cross of St. Andrew symbolizes Scotland and the cross of St. Patrick symbolizes Ireland. In addition, discussions are currently underway on a proposal to add a red dragon, the symbol of Wales, to the flag.

The coat of arms of the United Kingdom also combines the symbols of all parts of the state: a shield with the coats of arms of England, Scotland, Ireland holds a lion leopard and a rising silver unicorn, a helmet with a royal crown and a golden crowned leopard is depicted above the shield.

Nature and its protection

The British Isles have a mild temperate climate. The Gulf Stream, which carries its waters near the islands, brings a lot of moist air and protects from frost and cold. So the UK is not in vain called Foggy Albion. Fog appears here regularly, it often rains, and the sky is often covered with clouds.

In the north and west of Great Britain (in Scotland and Wales) mountainous terrain prevails, while in the south and east (in England) plains and small hills are more common. In Northern Ireland, there are also green valleys, and gentle hills and small mountains. Also in Northern Ireland is the largest lake in the United Kingdom - Lough Neagh.

In ancient times, almost the entire territory of the British Isles was covered with forests. Then the forests began to be cut down, and pastures and fields began to be arranged in the place of the vacated land. Now almost half of the land in the UK is given over to pastures. Forests are left 10 times less than it was before the development of the islands by man.

That is why the country is currently paying special attention to reforestation and nature protection. The United Kingdom has created a whole system of National Parks designed to preserve the unique landscapes and ecosystems of England, Scotland and Wales. The largest of them: Broads, Dartmoor and Exmoor. Here you can admire the beautiful natural scenery and see the habitats of the wild animals of Great Britain.

Population and culture

More than 63 million people now live in the UK, and the population of the country is constantly increasing, as people from many countries seek to move to England for permanent residence. All residents of the United Kingdom are called British, and they speak English language. Of these, most of the British (about 80%), as well as many Welsh (Welsh), Scots and Irish. Also in the UK there are many representatives of Africa, Asia and people from its former colonies: Indians, Vietnamese and Pakistanis.

British culture is rich and varied. She had a huge impact on the development of culture and art around the world. But the special influence of British culture is noticeable in countries that used to be colonies of the British Empire - there English traditions are visible in the language, and in the legal system, and in culture, and in art.

One of the strongest aspects of British culture is British literature. William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, HG Wells, Alan Milne, Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie, John Tolkien, JK Rowling - the list of famous English writers is endless. Many generations of people have grown up on these books, not only in Great Britain, but all over the world, including here in Russia.

The British musical culture is no less rich in bright names: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elton John - these are only the most famous musical groups and performers in the world. Paintings by English artists adorn art galleries in the most different countries. We watch films by English directors and with English actors with great pleasure both in cinemas and on television. For example, who doesn't know Harry Potter or James Bond?

Economy

The UK has a very strong and developed economy. This is the second economy in Europe, only the German economy is ahead of it. London is a recognized world financial center, and the British currency, the pound Sterling, is the third largest reserve currency in the world (after the dollar and the euro).

Almost all types of industry are developed in the United Kingdom: the automotive industry, the aviation industry, the textile industry, shipbuilding, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, etc. In addition, a huge contribution to the economy is made by the service sector, which is also incredibly developed in the British Isles.

Attractions

Windsor castle- the official residence of the monarchs of Great Britain. This is one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. It was founded in 1070 by the first king of England, William I the Conqueror. By the way, the surname of the current British kings Windsor came precisely from the name of this castle.

Big Ben- a huge bell, which is located in the clock tower Palace of Westminster. The weight of the bell is almost 14 tons, and it was cast in 1859. Many people call Big Ben not only the bell, but also the clock, and the entire clock tower, but this is not true. Officially, the tower that houses the Big Ben bell is called the Elizabeth Tower in honor of the current Queen of Great Britain.

Westminster Abbey- the most famous temple in England. It was built in the 13th century and since then has been the only temple in which the kings of the United Kingdom are crowned.

Tower Bridge- one of the main symbols of London. It is located right in the center of the British capital and attracts considerable attention from tourists. Indeed, the bridge looks very interesting. We can say that it is two-level: on the first level there is a drawway, and on the second, at a height of 44 meters from the first part, there is a pedestrian road that can be used even when the bridge is raised. The towers serve as a container for stairs and huge elevators for pedestrians. True, after the opening of the bridge, this method of crossing to the other side of the river turned out to be too expensive and was no longer used. Now all the mechanisms are working again and tourists can use the elevator for 30 people and walk along the gallery over the Thames.

stonehenge - the ancient temple of the Celtic Druids, which is located about 130 kilometers southwest of London. Stonehenge was built from huge stones - menhirs, which by some miracle lined up in the correct circle. But according to scientists, the structure was created about 5000 years ago. No one knows for sure why Stonehenge was built, but many agree that it was a sanctuary of the Druids - the priests of the ancient Celts.

Loch Ness lakeis a large lake in Scotland. It was formed due to the melting of the glacier. The lake is very elongated in length, and its depth reaches 230 meters, and the waters of Loch Ness are very muddy. Maybe such characteristics of the lake became the reason for the appearance of the legend of the Loch Ness monster? Nobody knows. But there is a museum of the Loch Ness Monster on the shore of the lake, and travel agencies are happy to take tourists along the most picturesque routes and promise to show the mysterious monster.

Famous people

Great Britain is the birthplace of a huge number of famous people all over the world. For example, the most famous queen in the world is the reigning Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II. Also, the whole world knows the politicians of England: Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher.

However, creative people born in the British Isles were and are most famous: writer William Shakespeare, scientist Isaac Newton, researcher and founder of the theory of evolution Charles Darwin, actor and director Charlie Chaplin, traveler James Cook, singer Paul McCartney, writers Charles Dickens and John Tolkien , soccer player David Beckham and many many others.

Unforgettable journey(Parrot's story)

What a wonderful trip it was to France and the UK! Arriving in Paris, I immediately went on a pleasure boat on the River Thames (Seine). How magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre! And here is the famous Tower (Alexander III) bridge. A little more, and the clock tower (Eiffel) - the symbol of Paris - appeared. Through the tunnel under the English Channel, I took a high-speed train to the UK. Its capital is beautiful - the city of London. Here I traveled along the River Seine (Thames).
