The Queen and Parliament.
It is

rather difficult to understand the British way of ruling the country. In Britain the Queen is the Head of State, but in fact she doesn’t rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is the symbol of the country, its history and its traditions. She is very rich. She travels about the UK, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places.
At the beginning of the twentieth century many countries all over the world were ruled by Britain. Among them were the British colonies and they were all part of the British Empire.
The real power in the country belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government. The British Parliament has 2 houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

The British way of life.
During

your 4 years of English classes you have already learnt a lot about the language and the people who speak it. Here are some facts about the British way if you want to compare it with life on the continent.
In England many things are the other way round. On the continents people seldom speak about the weather. On the continent Sunday papers appear on Monday; in England they appear on Sunday. On the continent, some people like cats, others don’t but in England cats are very special animals. Everyone loves them and takes care of them. On Sundays on the continent even the poorest person puts on best suit and tries to look nice and respectable. In England even the richest man dresses in some old clothes and doesn’t shave.

and games.
The British people like everyone else like sports

and games. But if they are asked to name their favourite sport they will probably name football, cricket and tennis, though many of them go in for such sports as golf and hockey, athletics and climbing, horse riding, rugby and rowing.

Nowadays this summer game, which is typically British, is played in schools, colleges and universities and in most towns and villages of Britain.
