44、rmansResearch and ActivitiesRead another passage about the United Kingdom.Compare it with the passage “Puzzles in Geography”, paying special attention to the writing styles of the two writers.BRITAIN AND IRELANDThe island of Britain lies to the east of Ireland.The two are separated by the Irish Sea.

45、The letters“UK”stand for“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”The UK is made up of four countries.In the north is Scotland, with its capital Edinburgh.Scotland has many lakes and mountains, and is famous for its beautiful.Wales lies to the west of England.Its capital is Cardiff.

46、Everyone there can speak English, but the first language in North Wales is Welsh.There are Welsh newspapers.Programmes on the radio and TV are in Welsh.The countryside here is very beautiful too, with lots of mountains and rivers.There used to be a lot of coal mines in the south, but many of them ha

47、ve been closed, or are about to be closed.England, the largest country in Britain, is in the southeast.Its capital is London, which is also the capital of the UK.London lies on the River Thames and has a population of seven million. Much of England is rather flat, although there are hills in the nor

48、theast and in the centre of the country.Ireland is divided into two countries.In the north, Northern Ireland, with its capital Belfast, is part of the United Kingdom.The Southern part of the island is a separate country, called the Republic of Ireland with Dublin as its capital.Generally, the weathe

49、r in Britain is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.It is colder in the north, warmer in the south, drier in the east and wetter in the west.Ireland is especially wet.In all parts of Britain it rains every month of the year; there is no“dry season”.Snow falls in Scotland every winter an

50、d sometimes in England and Wales too.Falls of snow in Ireland are most unusual.*Question for discussion: Both passages are about the United Kingdom, but the two writers focused on different things.What are the major differences between the two passages?Reference for TeachingAn Introduction to the Un

51、ited KingdomThe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country in western Europe.It is a Commonwealth Realm, and a member of the European Union and NATO.Usually known simply as the United Kingdom or the UK, it is also often inaccurately named Great Britain, Britain or England (the

52、 most populous of the home nations).The UK has four constituent parts, three of whichthe ancient nations of England, Wales and Scotlandare located on the island of Great Britanin.The fourth part is Northern Ireland, which is located on the island of Ireland.The border between Northern Ireland and th

53、e Republic of Ireland forms the United Kingdoms principal international land border, although there is also a nominal frontier with France in the middle of the Channel Tunnel.The UK also has overseas territories throughout the world, and relationships with several Crown dependencies.The UK was forme

54、d by a series of Acts of Union which united the Kingdom of England (which included Wales as a principality) with those of, first, Kingdom of Scotland and then Kingdom of Ireland under a single government in London.The greater part of Ireland left the United Kingdom (then called the United Kingdom of

55、 Great Britain and Ireland) in 1922 to form an independent state (in which, until 1949, the King of the United Kingdom was also King of Ireland).This state later became the Republic of Ireland.Six counties in the north-eastern portion of the island, meanwhile, remained a part of the United Kingdom,

56、forming Northern Ireland to this day.The UK is situated off the north-western coast of continental Europe, and has a land border with the Republic of Ireland, but is otherwise surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.Great Britain, or ju

57、st Britain, is the geographical name of the largest of the British Isles (often also including its smaller neighboring islands, though never Ireland).Politically, the term Great Britain refers collectively to the nations of England, Wales and Scotland (i.e., the United Kingdom except for Northern Ireland).This political usage of “Great Britain” dates from the personal union
