Text 1. English-speaking Countries

Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are English-speaking countries. They are situated in different parts of the world, and differ in many ways. The nature of these countries, their weather and climate and the way of life of their people differ. Each country has its own history, customs, traditions, its own national holidays. But they all have a common

language English, the language of the people who left England to make their homes in new countries. Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand form the Commonwealth of Nations.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make one state – the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the U.K.). It is situated on the British Isles. The largest islands of the British Isles are Great Britain and Ireland. England is in the south of the island of Great Britain, Scotland is in the north, and Wales is in the West Northern. Ireland is situated in the north-eastern part of Ireland - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were once separate countries but at different times became united in one state. In practice the name Great Britain is still sometimes used to mean the political unit of four parts of the country.
