The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and a great number of small islands. Their total area is over 314 000 sq. km. The British Isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. Northern Ireland occupies one third of the island of Ireland. It borders on the Irish Republic in the south.

The island of Great Britain consists of three main parts: England (the southern and middle part of the island), Wales (a mountainous peninsula in the West) and Scotland (the northern part of the island). There are no high mountains in Great Britain. In the north the Cheviots separate England from Scotland, the Pennines stretch down North England along its middle, the Cambrian Mountains occupy the greater part of Wales and the Highlands of Scotland are the tallest of the British mountains. There is very little flat country except in the region known as East Anglia. 

All of the rivers flow into the North Sea. The Thames is the deepest and the longest of the British rivers. Some of the British greatest ports are situated in the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey, Trent, Tyne and Bristol Avon. Great Britain is not very rich in mineral resources. It has some deposits of coal and iron ore and vast deposits of oil and gas that were discovered in the North Sea.

The warm currents of the Atlantic Ocean influence the climate of Great Britain. Winters are not severely cold and summers are rarely hot. The population of the United Kingdom is over 58 million people. The main nationalities are: English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish. In Great Britain there are a lot of immigrants from former British Asian and African colonies. 

Great Britain is a highly industrialized country. New industries have been developed in the last three decades. The main industrial centers are London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol. The capital of the country is London. The United Kingdom is a parliamentary monarchy.

Тема: Предлоги; фразовые глаголы.

Цель: Формирование лексико-грамматических навыков говорения
Основные теоретические положения

Предлоги

Выбор предлога в английском языке может зависеть и от того, о каком русском падеже идет речь. В русском языке шесть падежей. Вот какие предлоги им соответствуют:

1.Именительный падеж (кто? что?)

девушка – This girl wants to buy a bouquet of flowers. (без предлога)

2.Родительный падеж (кого? чего?)

девушки – The bouquet of this girl is lying on the table. (предлог of)

3.Дательный падеж (кому? чему?)

девушке – I am giving this bouquet to the girl. (предлог to)

4.Винительный падеж (кого? что?)

девушку – My mother likes this girl. (без предлога)

5.Творительный падеж (кем? чем?)

девушкой – This bouquet of flowers is bought by the girl. (предлоги by / with)

6.Предложный падеж (о ком? о чем?)

о девушке – I am talking about this girl. (предлоги about / of)

Более того, многие глаголы, существительные, прилагательные в английском языке употребляются строго с определенными предлогами. Поэтому эти части речи и следует учить вместе с предлогами. Например: глагол to wait (ждать) обязательно требует после себя предлог for. Или глагол to listen (слушать) используют только с предлогом to. Прилагательное proud (гордый) требует предлога of, а использование прилагательного satisfied (довольный) возможно лишь с предлогомwith. То же касается и существительных. За словами advantage / disadvantage (преимущество, недостаток чего-либо) следует лишь предлог of, а после существительного damage (урон, вред кому-либо или чему-либо) стоит поставить именно предлог to.

Самые распространенные предлоги английского языка

Употребление предлогов в английском языке подразумевает обязательное знание их значений, вариантов перевода и сфер применения. Мы не будем перечислять все предлоги английского языка, а назовем лишь несколько самых известных. Значение остальных и их связи с определенными частями речи следует уточнять дополнительно.
