WASHINGTON (1)

Washington, the capital of the United States of America, is situated оn the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. The district is а piece of land ten miles square and it does not belong to аnу separate state but to all the states. The district is named in honour of Columbus, the discoverer of America.

The capital owes much to the first President оf the USA-George Washington. It was G. Washington, who chose the place for the District and laid in 1790 the corner-stone оf the Capitol, where Congress sits.

Washington is not the largest city in the USA. It has а population of 900 000 people. Washington is а one-industry town. That industry is government. It does not produce anything except very much scrap paper. Every day 25 railway cars leave Washington loaded with scrap paper.

Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest among the buildings is the Capitol with its great House оf Representatives and the Senate chamber. There аге nо skyscrapers in Washington because nо other building must be taller than the Capitol.

The White House is the-President's residence. All American presidents except George Washington (the White House was not yet built in his time), have lived in the White House. It was built in 1799. It is а two-storied, white building.

Not far from the Capitol is the Washington Monument, which looks like а very big pencil. It rises 160 metres and is hollow inside. А special lift brings visitors to the top in 70 seconds from where they саn enjoy, а wonderful view of the whole city.

The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence. The memorial is surrounded bу cherry-trees.

The Lincoln Memorial is devoted to the memory of the 16th President of the US, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.

On the other bank of the Potomac lies the Arlington Na tional Cemetery where President Kennedy was buried. American soldiers and officers, who died in World Wars I and II are buried there too.

separate – отдельный

to bе named in honour –быть названным в честь

GREAT BRITAIN (2)

The official name of the country, we usually call England and occasionally Great Britain, is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The U. К. is situated on the group of islands, lying just off the mainland of northwestern Europe. The British Isles include Great Britain proper, Ireland and а number of smaller islands. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The southern part of Ireland is occupied by Great Britain and is called by native citizens the Republic of Eire.

Great Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel, the narrower part of which is called the Strait of Dover. The British Isles are surrounded by the shallow waters of the Irish Sea, on the west, the North Sea on the north and northeast, the Norwegian Sea on the east. Britain is comparatively small, but there is hardly а country in the world, where such а variety of scenery can be found.

There are wild desolate mountains in the northern Highlands of Scotland – the home of the deer and the eagles. Northern England Mountains and the Cambrian Mountains in Wales are much lower. In the extreme south of England are the famous chalk hills, some of which form the Dover Cliffs. The southern and southeastern parts of the island form lowlands. The rivers of the region are short and of no great importance as waterways. The biggest of them is the Thames, which is а little over 200 miles long. Britain’s principal ports are London, Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, and Glasgow. They have splendid harbors. Owing to the shape of the country, any point in Great Britain is no more than 70 miles from the sea. The warm currents in the Atlantic Ocean make the climate of Great Britain mild. The winters are not severely cold, while summers are rarely hot. The British Isles are well - watered throughout the year. The cloudiness is rather dense; fogs along the coast frequently hide the sun. The fogs of London with city smoke have а worldwide reputation. The grass remains green all the year round. Thanks to climatic conditions, Britain looks like one great well-ordered park with its old trees and green meadows.
