Climate and wildlife

Great Britain is situated on islands. It is washed by seas from all sides. That's why the climate and the nature of Great Britain are very specific. The mild winters mean that snow is a regular feature of the higher areas only. Besides Britain is famous for fogs. Sometimes fogs are so thick that it is impossible to see anything within 2 or 3 meters.

British people always seem to be talking about the weather. There is a saying that Britain doesn't have a climate, it only has weather. The weather changes very often.

Animal diversity is modest. 100 species have become extinct in the UK during the 20th century. Here are a lot of small animals. Rodents make up 40% of the total number of mammal species in Great Britain. These include squirrels, mice, voles, rats and the recently reintroduced European beaver. Carnivorous mammals include the fox, badger, otter, weasel, stoat and elusive wildcat. Various species of seal, whale and dolphin are found on or around British shores and coastlines.

More than 200 species of birds live in the British Isles. The most common are blackbirds and sparrows. It may be interesting that the robin, one of Britain's common birds becomes the national symbol of the country.

The humid and mild climate of Great Britain is good for plants and flowers. Some of them have become symbols in the UK. Probably you know that the poppy is the symbol of peace, the red rose is the national emblem of England, the thistle is the national emblem of Scotland, the daffodil and the leek are the emblems of Wales, the shamrock (a kind of clover) is the emblem of Ireland.

The UK consists of great areas of marshlands and smaller areas of moors. Extensive forests are in the east and the north of Scotland and in the south, the east and the west part of England. Oak, elm, ash, and beech are the most common trees in England, while Scotland has much pine and birch. The Highlands are largely moorlands with heather and grasses.

Political System of the UK

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy. It means that the sovereign rules only symbolically. So to say the monarch reins but doesn’t rule.

The power of Queen Elizabeth II is not absolute. It is limited by Parliament. Parliament is the most important authority in Britain. The legislative body, Parliament, consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The monarch serves formally as head of state. But the monarch is expected to be politically neutral and should not make political decisions. The present sovereign is Queen Elizabeth II. She was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1953.

The House of Commons consists of Members of Parliament. There are 650 of them in the House of Commons. Almost all belong to one of the ten political parties represented in Parliament. They are elected by secret ballot. General elections are held every five years. The country is divided into 650 constituencies. All citizens aged 18 and registered in a constituency, have the right to vote. But voting is not compulsory in Britain. Only persons convicted of corrupt and certain mentally ill patients don't take part in voting.

There are few political parties in Britain thanks to the British electoral system. The main ones are: the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the Liberal / Social Democratic Alliance.

Each political party puts up one candidate for each constituency. The one who wins the most votes is elected Member of Parliament for that area.

The party which wins the most seats in Parliament forms the Government. Its leader becomes the Prime Minister. His first job is to choose his Cabinet. The Prime Minister usually takes policy decisions with the agreement of the Cabinet.

The functions of the House of Commons are legislation and scrutiny of government activities. The House of Commons is presided over by the Speaker. The Speaker is appointed by the Government.

The House of Lords is not elected. It comprises about 1,200 peers. Some people in the House of Lords inherit their places from their fathers and grandfathers. So they are hereditary peers. But nowadays the most members in the House of Lords are life peers. They get the title “Lord” or “Lady” for their personal achievements, and their children can’t inherit it. The House of Lords is presided by the Lord Chancellor. The House of Lords has no real power. It acts rather as an advisory council. It's in the House of Commons that new bills are introduced and debated. If the majority of the members are in favour of a bill, it goes to the House of Lords to be debated. The House of Lords has the right to reject a new bill twice.

But after two rejections they are obliged to accept it. And finally a bill goes to the monarch to be signed. Only then it becomes law.

Parliament is responsible for British national policy. Local governments are responsible for organizing of education, police and many others.

In Great Britain there is no written constitution, only customs and traditions.

CANADA: ECONOMY AND TRADE

The Canadian economy is among the world's soundest. Canada is the seventh-largest trading nation among the industrialized market economies and an active partner in international investment.

About 26 per cent of the country's total output of goods and services (GNP) is exported - mostly to the United States, which is by far the country's biggest market, and supplying 66 per cent of its imports. In fact, Canada and the United States are each other's most important trading partners.

The service industry is dominant in Canada employing three-quarters of the population. Other important industries include transport, timber, paper products, minerals, natural gas, fish products, and chemicals. The country is one of the leading producer natural minerals such as gold, nickel, aluminum, and crude oil. Canada has the second (or third, depending on the measurements taken) largest oil reserves in the world.

Although Canada is known world-wide as a rich source of raw materials and primary products such as wheat, oil, lumber and minerals in recent years the structure of the Canadian economy has changed. Over the past quarter-century, resource exports have become a less important part of Canada’s trade mix, representing just over one-fifth of Canadian exports now. Fewer than 13 per cent of Canadian workers are now employed in primary industries. A similar trend has been occurring in manufacturing.

The services sector is now paramount, employing over 70 per cent of the Canadian work force. The growing role of knowledge-based activity is forcing re-examination of educational priorities and retraining programs.

Since the beginning of the 1980s, Canada has had the fastest-growing labour force of any of the Group of Eight.

Employment has expanded increasing numbers of jobs are part-time.

QUESTIONS:

1. How can you prove the fact that the Canadian economy is among the world's soundest? Is Canada a trading nation?

2. How has the structure of the Canadian economy changed in recent years?

3. What sector is now paramount?

4. What is forcing re-examination of educational priorities and retraining programs?

5. What can you say about the employment in Canada?
