They are very important in the life of English people. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. 3. There are six public holidays a year in Great Britain, that is days on which people need not go in to work.They are: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Spring Bank Holiday and Late Summer Bank Holiday.Most of these holidays are of religious origin, though it would be right to say that for the greater part of the population they have long lost their religious significance and simply days on which people relax, eat, drink and make merry. 4. Christmas day is one of their favorite holidays .It's celebrated on the 25-th of December. There are some traditions connected with it. One of them is to give presents to each other. It is not only children and members of family. It's a tradition to give Christmas presents to the people you work with. Another tradition is to send Christmas cards. All these cards are brightly and colored. 5. Most of big cities of G.B., especially London, are decorated with colored lights and Christmas trees. On Trafalgar Square, in the center of London a big Christmas tree stands. It is a gift from the people of Oslo. It is over 50 feet high. Many families celebrate Christmas day in the open air near the Christmas tree in order to catch the spirit of Christmas. Children find Christmas presents in their stockings. The traditional English dinner on Christmas is turkey and pudding. 6. The New Year in Great Britain is not as widely or as enthusiastically observed as Christmas. Some people ignore it completely and go to bed on New Year's Eve. Many others, however, do celebrate it in one way or another, the type of celebration varying much according to the local custom, family tradition and personal taste. The most common type of celebration is a New Year party, either a family party or one arranged by a group of young people. This usually begins at about eight o'clock and goes on until the early hours of the morning. There is a lot of drinking, mainly beer, wine, gin and whisky. 7.

It is the second largest country in the world, covering nearly half of the North American continent. 2. The population of Canada is about 30 million people. Over two-fifths is of British stock. French-speaking descendants of the original French colonist constitute about 30 per cent. The rest are of other origins. Most French-speaking Canadians live in Quebec, but there are also many in other parts of the country, notably New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba. After the British conquest of Quebec, the French retained their language, culture and traditions. The third largest ethnic group of Canada are the Germans. Other large groups are the Ukrainians, Italians, Scandinavians, Netherlanders and Poles. The native peoples of Canada, the Indians and the Eskimos, comprise only 1.4 per cent of the population. 3. The name “Canada” was given to the country by its first inhabitants. The Indians used the word kanata to describe a settlement. 4. The story of modern Canada began in the 14th century. A Genoese navigator John Cabot discovered it but he didn’t found any settlement. The true founder and settler of French Canada was the French explorer Samuel de Camplain who established the first tiny settlements of French pioneers between 1604 and 1634. The first English pioneers settled in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. 5. The American Revolutionary War of the 1770s caused a march on Montreal by American forces, and both English and French colonists in the North chose British sovereignty instead of political independence. 6. The British North America Act of 1867 created the Confederation of Canada, embracing four provinces – Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The Act also provided a parliamentary system of Government. Executive authority remained with the Queen of England. The Governor General has since followed the parliamentary tradition and has acted on the advice of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet. 7. Canada is a highly developed industrial country. The mining industry in Canada is 4 centuries old. The Government of Canada pays much attention to education. There are about 70 universities and 300 other post-secondary institutions, mainly colleges. Упражнение № 3. Найдите русские эквиваленты английских слов.

Britain is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarch – Queen Elizabeth II – as head of State. The British constitution, unlike those of most other countries, is not set out in a single document. Instead it is made up of a combination of laws and conventions. Conventions are rules and practices which are not legally enforceable, but which are regarded as vital to the working of government. 2. Political stability owes much to the monarchy. Its continuity has been interrupted only once (the republic of 1649-60) in over a thousand years. 3. Today the Queen is not only head of State, but also an important symbol of national unity. The royal title in Britain is: «Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith». 4. In law the Queen is head of the executive, an integral part of the legislature, head of the judiciary, the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces of the Crown and the «supreme governor» of the established Church of England. As a result of a long evolution, during which the monarchy's absolute power has been progressively reduced, the Queen is impartial and acts on the advice of her ministers. 5. The Queen and the royal family continue to take part in many traditional ceremonies. Their visits to different parts of Britain and to many other countries attract considerable interest and publicity, and they are also closely involved in the work of many charities. 6. Parliament, Britain's legislature, comprises the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the Queen in her constitutional role. The House of Commons has 651 elected Members of Parliament, each representing a local constituency. The House of Lords is made up of 699 hereditary and life peers and peeresses, and the two archbishops and the 24 most senior bishops of the established Church of England. 7. The center of parliamentary power is the House of Commons. Limitations on the power of the Lords – it rarely uses its power to delay passage of most laws for a year – are based on the principal that the House should complement the Commons and not rival it. Once passed through both Houses, legislation receives the Royal Assent and it then becomes law. Упражнение № 3. Найдите русские эквиваленты английский слов.
