Соединенное Королевство (сокращенно от "Соединенное Королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии") – это официальное название государства, которое состоит из Англии, Шотландии, Уэльса и Северной Ирландии (иногда называемой Ольстером). Великобритания – это название острова, состоящего из Англии, Шотландии, Уэльса, в то время как Британские острова – это географическое название всех островов северо-западного побережья европейского континента. В ежедневном употреблении слово "Британия" означает Соединенное Королевство.
Task 2
Translate the text from Russian into English with the help of a dictionary.
Флаг Соединенного Королевства, известный как Юнион Джек, состоит из трех крестов. Вертикальный красный крест на белом фоне – это крест Георга Первого, святого покровителя Англии. Желтый диагональный крест на голубом фоне – это крест св. Эндрю, покровителя Шотландии. Красный диагональный крест на белом фоне – это крест св. Патрика, покровителя Ирландии. Уэльский флаг, называемый Уэльским драконом, представляет собой красного дракона на белом фоне.
Task 3
Translate the text from Russian into English with the help of a dictionary.
День св. Георгия выпадает на 23 апреля и считается национальным праздником Англии. В этот день некоторые англичане-патриоты прикалывают розы к пиджакам. Красная роза – это национальная эмблема Англии со времен войн между Розами (XV столетие). День св. Эндрю (30 ноября) считается национальным днем Шотландии. В этот день некоторые шотландцы вставляют в петли для пуговиц чертополох. Чертополох, по-видимому, использовали в качестве национальной эмблемы Шотландии в XV веке как символ защиты.
