It symbolizes the end of the Wars of the Roses. The national flower of Scotland is the thistle. The thistle has been a Scottish symbol for more than 500 years. It was found on ancient coins and coats of arms. The national flower of Wales is the daffodil, which is traditionally worn on St. David’s Day The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock, a three-leaved plant similar to clover.

2. Would you like to visit Britain? Why (not)? |
Yes, of course. The UK has not only nice floral symbols but also plenty of landmarks, for example Big Ben, Trafalgar square, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Stonehenge and others. Moreover it is famous for Fish and Chips, Red Buses, the Beatles, football teams, Sherlock Homes, Shakespeare and for one of the best theatres in the world! Personally, I’d like to visit London, as it is one of the largest cities in the world. About 7 million people live here. London is an old city. It is more than 2. 000 years old! |

4. Give me a piece of advice on what sights to see in London. |
You can go to the Royal Albert Hall which is a very large concert hall where the best world musicians perform classical music. Another place is the Victoria and Albert Museum (V & A) with its rich collections of paintings and other works of art. The family life of Queen Victoria touched people's hearts. But this is not the only reason why Queen Victoria became very popular. During her reign Britain became a rich industrial country with a developed trade, an empire with a lot of colonies. The Tower of London was a fortress, a castle, a prison and a zoo. Now it’s the oldest museum in London, it was built about 2000 years ago. |

Great Britain (1 вопрос билета)
1. General The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. It consists of four parts: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. England, Wales and Scotland occupy the territory of Great Britain. Northern Ireland is situated in the northern part of Ireland. The population is over 55 million. About 80% of the population is urban. The capital of the country is London.
2. Geographical position. The surface of Great Britain varies greatly. The northern and western part of the country is mountains and is called the Highlands. All the rest (south, east and centre) is a vast plain which is called the Lowlands. The mountains are not very high. The rivers are not long. The most important of them are the Severn and the Thames. There are many beautiful lakes in the mountainous parts of the country.
3. Climate The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of the Gulf Stream influence the climate of Great Britain. The weather in GB is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening. The English people say: "Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather."
4. National economy Great Britain is a highly developed industrial country. It is known as one of the world's largest producers and exporters of machinery and electronics, aircraft and navigation equipment. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding.
Great Britain is a country with old cultural traditions and customs. The most famous educational centers are Oxford and Cambridge universities. They are considered to be the intellectual centres of Europe. The education is not free, it is very expensive.
5. Political system The United Kingdom is a monarchy and the Queen is the head of state. But in practice it is ruled by the elected government with a Prime Minister at the head. The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. There are three main political parties in Great Britain: Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat.
6. In general, I’d like to say that GB is a mighty empire and if you want to consider yourself a well-educated person you must see it with your own eyes.

British Traditions and Customs (5 вопрос билета)
One of most interesting English traditions is the Boat Race, which takes place on the river Thames. A boat with a team from Oxford University and one with a team from Cambridge University hold a race.
Another tradition is the holiday called Bonfire Night. On the 5th of November, 1605 a man called Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament where the king James the 1st was to open Parliament on that day. But Guy Fawkes was unable to realize his plan and was caught and later, hanged. The British still remember that Guy Fawkes' Night. It is another name for this holiday.
Не секрет, что каждая нация и страна имеет свои собственные обычаи и традиции. Британская нация, как полагают, является самой консервативной в Европе. Лучший пример — их королева, парламентская монархия, денежная система, их система мер.
Одной из самых интересных англ. традиций является состязания по гребле, которые проходят на реке Темза. Лодка с командой от Оксфордского университета и вторая лодка с командой от университета Кембриджа плывут наперегонки.
Другая традиция — это праздник, который называется Ночь костра. 5 ноября 1605 года человек по имени Гай Фокс планировал взорвать здание парламента, где король Джеймс I должен был в тот день открыть заседание парламента. Но Гаю Фоксу не удалось совершить задуманное, он был пойман и позже повешен. Британцы все еще помнят ту ночь Гая Фокса. Это другое название этого праздника.
