1. (1) The coronation of nearly all English kings and queens since William the Conqueror have taken place there. Many of them are buried there too. This building is in Gothic style. There is Poets' Corner with memorials to Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Bronte sisters, Carroll, Burns, Dickens, Thackeray, Kipling and other leading writers. But only a few are buried there. You can also see the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior.

2. The commander of Spanish fleet was Don Alonso Perez, one of the richest noblemen in Europe. But he never fought at sea and suffered from sea sickness. The leader of the British was Lord Howard of Effingham, Queen Elizabeth's cousin, who was a very professional seaman. His second in command was Sir Francis Drake. He first went to sea at the age of twelve. Later he fought against Spanish ships, robbed them and brought their treasures to Elizabeth I. Drake was an excellent navigator. (2)

3. Music is a very important part of people's life and almost every village has a pub where you can see people playing traditional music. (3) Band "U2" have written songs about about the tragic history of their land. In 1969 British soldiers killed thirteen Catholics during a protest march.

4. The first postage stamp was the Penny Black in the UK in 1840. Sir Rowland Hill designed it himself. Two days later the second stamp, Two Penny Blue, came. Both of them showed young Queen Victoria. They didn't include the United Kingdom's name on the stamp, because the monarch's head was used as identification and no other country in the world produced stamps in that time. The idea of putting stamps on envelopes before sending a letter was very good and some countries also began printing their own stamps. (4)

5. (5) During more than 600 years all decisions on its life and foreign policy were made by the "veche" - an ancient parliament. In hard times in Novgorod's history the bell rang and all the people of the town gathered together and took part in the "veche".

Text 1

Прочитайте описания разных стран. Установите соответствие между названиями стран A-E и пронумерованными описаниями этих стран 1-4. Запишите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок.

A. Scotland.

B. New Zealand.

C. South Africa.

D. Australia.

E. Ireland.

1. It has got mountains, fast rivers, green forests and peaceful lakes with clear blue water. There are places in this beautiful land where no people have ever been. It's a land of volcanoes. Most of them are sleeping, but some are active. You can also see a lot of rare animals and plants there.

2. It is situated in the Southern Hemisphere between the pacific and the Indian Oceans. It is an island, continent and a country which is full of strange and wonderful places, unusual animals and has interesting culture. It is the largest island in the world and at the same time it's the smallest but the oldest continent. More than half of the territory of it is a desert. In some places it sometimes doesn't rain for years!

3. It's an independent English-speaking country. It is a popular place to visit because the people who live there are so friendly. It is a beautiful country with hills, lakes and rivers. The weather is very changeable there. In the south-west, it rains on up to 270 days a year! Lots of rain makes the landscape very green. That's why the country is called the Emerald Isle.

4. If we travel all over this country, we can see that geographically it consists of three main parts: Lowlands, Uplands and Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain peak, Ben Nevis (1,342 meters), is located. You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the its varied landscape: the hills, covered with purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow valleys (or glens) ... The biggest and the most beautiful lake is Loch Lomond, but the most famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears to scare the tourists but only in fine weather, which is a great rarity for this country!

Text 2

Прочитайте текст. Определите правильный порядок приведенных утверждений A-H в соответствии с содержанием текста.

A. The UK consists of 4 parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

B. There are a lot of holidays and celebrations.

C. The landscape of Great Britain is very different.

D. British people are known to keep up a lot of traditions in their daily routines.

E. English is the official language in many countries.

F. The British are very conservative because the influence of foreign lifestyles was very small.

G. The British are famous for being conservative

H. The British like going to pubs.

English is the third most spoken native language worldwide, after Chinese and Hindi, with some 380 million speakers. It is the official language in 71 sovereign states and territories with the total population of 2,135 million people. Among them are the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa and many others. The two most important English-speaking countries are, of course, the UK and the USA.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles, off the northern coast of Europe. The British Isles consist of two large islands: Great Britain and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. The UK is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast respectively.

The surface of the country varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called Highlands. The south, which abounds in beautiful valleys and plains, is called Lowlands. The north of England is mountainous, while the eastern, central and south-eastern parts of England are a vast plain. Mountains are not very high, with Ben Nevis in Scotland as the highest mountain (1,343 m). There are a lot of rivers in the UK, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river, while the Thames is the deepest and the most important one. The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of the Gulf Stream influence the climate of the British Isles which is mild the whole year round.

When I think about British people, I normally recollect two things: British national character and British holidays and traditions.

The British are famous for being conservative, reserved, punctual, friendly to strangers and polite. They are famous for their love to compromise, too. The influence of foreign lifestyles was very small, too, that is probably why they are conservative.

The British have a lot of holidays and celebrations. Christmas Day and Boxing Day, Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day), Good Friday and Easter are all Christian holidays, or are based on a combination of pagan and Christian traditions. Another group of British holidays include holidays celebrated in English-speaking countries — Mothering Sunday, April Fool's Day, May Day, Halloween, the New Year.

British people are known to keep up a lot of traditions in their daily routines. For example, they prefer living in their own houses, they are fond of gardening, keeping pet animals, spending holidays on the seaside and playing cricket, darts and golf. They like going to pubs, being members of all sorts of clubs and having five o'clock tea.
