THE UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom is an advanced European island country. It is surrounded by three bodies of water: the North Sea, in the eastern part, the English Channel in the southern part, and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The country consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The term “United Kingdom” is often confused with the term “Great Britain”, which is the name of the island, but not the state. Many smaller islands and adjacent territories form an integral part of this country, as well as the area of Northern Ireland in the northwest.

The British landscape is diverse. It includes flat countryside, low hills, and a long line of high mountains. In this unique island country, the climate is rather mild and a bit humid. This geographical region is known for its warm weather in winter, and cool weather in summer, combined with intense rainfall and baffling winds over the year.
Every nation and every country has its own traditions.In Britain traditions play a more important part in the life of the people than in other countries. The English are very proud of their traditions and carefully keep them.When you come to England you’re struck at once by quite a number of customs.Some ceremonies are rather formal, such as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Trooping the Colour, the State opening of Parliament, the Ceremony of the Keys. Sometimes you will see a group of cavalrymen riding on black horses through the streets of London.

Birlashgan Qirollik Yevropaning rivojlangan orol davlatidir. U uchta suv havzasi bilan o'ralgan: sharqda Shimoliy dengiz, janubda La-Mansh va g'arbda Atlantika okeani. Mamlakat Angliya, Shotlandiya, Uels va Shimoliy Irlandiyadan iborat. "Birlashgan Qirollik" atamasi ko'pincha "Buyuk Britaniya" atamasi bilan aralashib ketadi, bu orolning nomi, lekin davlat emas. Ko'pgina kichik orollar va unga tutash hududlar ushbu mamlakatning ajralmas qismini, shuningdek, shimoli-g'arbdagi Shimoliy Irlandiya hududini tashkil qiladi.

Britaniya landshafti xilma-xildir. U tekis qishloqlarni, past adirlarni va baland tog'larning uzun qatorini o'z ichiga oladi. Bu noyob orol mamlakatida iqlim ancha yumshoq va bir oz nam. Bu geografik mintaqa qishda issiq ob-havo, yozda esa salqin ob-havo, yil davomida kuchli yog'ingarchilik va hayratlanarli shamollar bilan mashhur.
Har bir xalq va har bir davlatning o'ziga xos an'analari bor. Britaniyada an'analar boshqa mamlakatlarga qaraganda xalq hayotida muhimroq rol o'ynaydi. Inglizlar o'zlarining urf-odatlari bilan juda faxrlanadilar va ularni ehtiyotkorlik bilan saqlaydilar. Angliyaga kelganingizda, bir vaqtning o'zida juda ko'p urf-odatlar sizni hayratda qoldiradi. Ba'zi marosimlar juda rasmiydir, masalan Bukingem saroyida qo'riqchilarni almashtirish, rangni qo'shish, parlamentning davlat ochilishi, kalitlarni topshirish marosimi. Ba'zan London ko'chalarida qora otlarga minib ketayotgan bir guruh otliqlarni ko'rasiz.
