My Impression of the UK

When people talk about the UK, the first impression may be the old gentleman, traditional, prosperous and strong, or Beckham, Elizabeth and Mr. Bean. Everyone has different impressions of Britain, and I would like to talk about my impression of the Britain.

Britain is a wealthy country, the world's leading power since the first industrial revolution. In the 18th century, Britain is the world's biggest country, while in the early 20th century the situation is different. Though Britain was influenced by the war and a series of factors, the superpower position was replaced by the United States, it is still an influential power in the world. With its developed economy, British people attach great importance to the quality of their life. The Britain's working hours is about 22 hours a week. They have few working hours, so they have much more free time to do whatever they like, for example doing the housework by themselves, doing sports, traveling, reading, writing, listening to music and so on. What’s more British people love pets very much.

English afternoon tea is famous all over the world. British have a 300-years-old history of drinking black tea. Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. They will add sugar and milk in the

black tea, and it is necessary to drink after a meal for British. The UK is the largest

consumption country of black tea. In other words, there is no country that is professional than Britain in tasting black tea. The traditional afternoon tea time is four o'clock in the afternoon, it is commonly known as Low Tea. Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches, scones served with clotted cream. Cakes and pastries are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from silver tea pots into delicate bone china cups.

The climate of Britain is very comfortable. It is neither hot in summer, nor cold in winter in UK, it is warm and humid. It often rains in Britain, in my impression British always need to take an umbrella wherever they go. Also they will often talk about weather when they meet each other just like we talk about whether the other has had dinner. For British people the sunshine is very precious because there is too much rain all the year round. As long as it is a sunny weekend or holiday, there will be a lot of people lying on the grass in the park or on the beach. The government sets up a special place in every residence community, it can be a park or a piece of green area. In this region, people can take a rest or go for a walk, besides it also offers a place for the children to have fun.

The building of Britain also impressed me very much. The British building is old and very beautiful, it’s the typical classical architecture of Britain. The building has a long history but well preserved, some people say that many British sewers have a history of several hundred years. There are many world famous buildings in Britain, such as St.Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge of London, British Museum, Big Ben and so on. Now the British building is a symbol of British culture and their spirit.

Britain is a very beautiful and prosperous country, and I hope one day I can walk in the street of Britain and enjoy the beautiful scenery there.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain) is a sovereign state off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic

Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.

The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional

monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved national administrations, each with varying powers, situated in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh; the capitals of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland respectively. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies and fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

The UK is a developed country and has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP and seventh-largest economy by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialized country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries although the economic and social cost of two world wars and the decline of its empire in the latter half of the 20th century diminished its leading role in global affairs. The UK nevertheless remains a great power with leading economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence. It is a member state of the European Union, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and is also a member of: the Commonwealth of

Nations, G8, G20, NATO, the OECD, the Council of Europe and the World Trade Organization.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland uses as its national flag the royal banner known as the Union Flag or, popularly, Union Jack. It consists of the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England), edged in white, superimposed on the Cross of St Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which are superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland). Wales, however, is not represente

d in the Union Flag by Wales' patron saint, Saint David as at the time the flag

was designed Wales was part of the Kingdom of England.

"God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King") is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms and British Crown Dependencies. The words of the song, like its title, are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, with "King" replacing "Queen", "he" replacing "she", and so forth, when a king reigns.

The

official language is English, and other recognised

regional languages are Irish, Ulster Scots, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Welsh, Cornish.

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures.
