MONARCHY The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The Queen is the head of state. The power of Queen is not absolute. It is limited by Parliament. The monarch can only reign with the support of Parliament. Everything today is done in the Queen’s name. Everything is done however on the advice of the elected

Government, and the Monarch takes no part in the decision-making process.

EDUCATION The system of education is determined by the National Education

Acts. It is divided into four categories: nursery, primary, secondary,

tertiary. There are two types of schools: state and private. It is compulsory to wear a uniform. The timetable begins at 8.30 a.m. and finishes at 3.30 p.m. The school year is divided into three terms: autumn, winter and

spring. The principal examination is the General Certificate of Secondary

Education. Many schools also have a discipline system to punish low standards

of work or unacceptable behavior and a commendation system to praise high standards of work.

HOLIDAYS

There are many holidays in Great Britain. The main holidays are Christmas and Bank holidays. They are named so due to the fact that on those days the banks are

closed. The bank holidays are New Year’s Day, Easter Monday, spring and

late summer holidays and Boxing Day. There are some winter customs and traditions such as to organize

parties ; to lay festive tables ;to wrap the presents ; to exchange the presents ; to sing songs (carols) ; to send greeting cards (1840) ;to give new year’s resolutions ; to decorate houses with wreaths, garlands, fir-trees, candles ; to kiss under the mistletoe .

Many holidays are connected with the history of Great Britain such as Guy Fawkes’ Day, the Eisteddfod, Robin Hood Dance, Halloween and others.

and then spread throughout the world. The national British sports are: football, golf, cricket, table tennis,

lawn tennis, darts, racing. The most popular kind of sports in Britain is football. Golf is Scotland’s chief contribution to British sport. English people love cricket. Wimbledon is the centre of lawn tennis. The Wimbledon championship is held annually in the southern

suburb of London. Englishmen like racing: horse-racing, motor-car-racing, boat-racing,

TRAFFIC The traffic regulations in Great Britain differ from other

countries. Cars and buses go on the left side of the street and not on

the right. To cross the street you must look to the right and then to

the left. The English buses are very high, because they are double-

decked, all of them are red. All the buses have a conductor and people pay him a fare. The English taxi is black by colour. Very few trams and buses run in the streets of London on

Sundays.

MEALS The usual meals in Great Britain are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. The English are very fastidious about their meals and keep to their

meal times strictly. Porridge is one of the popular dishes. Tea is their national drink. The English like it strong and fresh made. They drink it with or without sugar, but almost always with milk. It is important to pour tea into milk, and not vice versa. The Englishmen always drink tea out of cups, never out of glasses. Scotch whisky is their national alcoholic drink.

ВИСНОВКИ Every country and every nation has its own customs and

traditions. You cannot speak about Britain without speaking about its

traditions and customs. British traditions are rather interesting and unusual. If you arrive in Great Britain, you’ll hear the word

“tradition” everywhere. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and keep them up

with great honor. They have a sentimental love for traditions and customs

because they are old. They never throw away old things.
