The British Isles lie in the north-west of Europe. They consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller ones. Great Britain, the largest island in Europe, includes England, Scotland, and Wales. It is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea, and from the Continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. Great Britain and Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom (UK).
The surface of England and Ireland is flat, but the surface of Scotland and Wales is mountainous. The mountains are almost all in the western part. The highest mountain in the United Kingdom is Ben Nevis in Scotland (1343 m). The longest river is the Severn. It is in the south-west of England. The Thames is not so long as the Severn, it is shorter. The sea enters deeply into the land and has a great influence on the climate, which is damp but rather mild: the winter is not very cold and the summer is not very hot.
Over 57 million people live in the United Kingdom. Most of the people of Great Britain live in big towns and cities.
The capital of the country is London. The main industrial centres are Sheffield and Birmingham where iron goods are made, Manchester, the cotton centre of England, and others.
<span>The important ports of the country are London, Liverpool, Glasgow and others.</span>
My favourite sports are tennis and swimming. I like dancing, too. I began going in for sports when I was eight years old. It was swimming. I went to the swimming pool with all my family.
Now my hobby is lawn tennis. I like to play tennis very much. I play tennis two times a week: on Wednesday and Friday.
I think I am good at tennis, but I want to play it better. I hope in future I will be a good tennis-player.

Мои любимые виды спорта - теннис и плавание. Я также люблю танцевать. Я начала заниматься спортом, когда мне было восемь лет. Я стала ходить в бассейн. Я ходила в бассейн со всей семьей.
Теперь мое хобби - большой теннис. Я очень люблю играть в тенис. Я играю в теннис два раза в неделю - в среду и в пятницу.
Я хорошо играю в теннис. Я надеюсь, что в будущем я стану хорошим игроком.
вот как тебе?
<span>I would like to write about a fox. It is a dangerous wild animal. It has got four short paws, a long fluffy tail, a black nose and clever eyes. The fox lives in forests. It can run very fast and swim very well. The fox can`t climb trees. The fox uses its claws to get food, legs and tail to run fast, teeth to catch fish. It is a loving and careful parent because the fox gives food to its babies and teaches them to hunt. I like the fox very much!</span>
