I`m Andrey. I`m fond of Maths, English and Russian. At Maths lessons I`m fond of solving number problems. At English lessons we often read interesting texts about English - speaking countries.
I don`t know much about Great Britain but some facts from its history impressed me. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It consists of four parts - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast. Some words about English weather! In the morning it can be warm and sunny but in the evening it can be rainy and wet. I know that William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and became king of England. Spanish Armada - a number of armed ships sent by Spain in 1588 against England but defeated by the English Navy. Do you know anything about Great Fire of London! It happened in September 1666 and lasted for five days. Many buildings were destroyed by fire, among them St.Paul`s Cathedral. London is the capital of Great Britain. Buckingham Palace is the Queen`s home. The Changing of the Guard takes place here. Nobody lives in the Westminster Abbey. I know that there are many monuments and graves of great Englishmen there. The Tower of London was a fortress. You can see a Beefeater here.
My teacher of English told us about City & Guilds and I decided to take part in the competition. I wish you good luck!
Великобритания
Меня зовут Андрей. Я увлекаюсь математикой, изучением английского и русского языков. На уроках математики люблю решать задачки, а на уроках английского языка мы часто читаем познавательные тексты об англоязычных странах.
О Великобритании я знаю немного, но некоторые факты и исторические события потрясли меня. Полное имя страны - Соединенное Королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии, состоит из четырех частей - Англия, Шотландия, Уэльс и Северная Ирландия. Столицы - Лондон, Эдинбург, Кардиф и Белфаст. Несколько слов об английской погоде! Утром может быть тепло и солнечно, а к вечеру погода может резко измениться и пойдет дождь. Я узнал, что Вильгельм Завоеватель, нормандский герцог, в 1066 году в битве при Гастингсе разбил войско короля Гарольда и стал королем Англии вместо него. Непобедимая Армада, испанский военный флот, считавшийся до конца 16 века самым сильным в мире, в 1588 году в результате столкновения с английским флотом, была разбита. А что слышали вы о Великом лондонском пожаре, случившемся в Лондоне в сентябре 1666 года! Пожар продолжался 5 дней! Много зданий выгорело и среди них Собор Святого Павла. Лондон является столицей Великобритании. В Букингемском дворце находится дом королевы. Здесь происходит смена караула. В Вестминстерском Аббатстве никто не живет. Я прочитал, что там поставлены памятники великим англичанам и находятся их могилы. Лондонский Тауэр был укрепленным замком в древние времена. Здесь можно увидеть Бифитера - солдата, охраняющего Тауэр и одетого в средневековый костюм.
Наша учительница английского языка рассказала нам о Сity & Guilds, и я решил участвовать в конкурсе сочинений. Хочу пожелать всем удачи!
