for centuries british sailors and merchants travelled all over the world, discovered new lands and claimed them for england. large territories in north america, africa, the whole continent of australia, new zealand, india and a lot of islands in the ocean got under british rule. thus, gradually, in the course of centuries, the huge british empire came into being. after world war ii, with the growth of national liberation movement in the world, the countries which were dependent of great britain and formed parts of the british empire, began claiming independence. as a result of this movement, the british empire fell apart. however, centuries-long economic, cultural and political ties of these former colonies and dominions with great britain were too strong for them to completely break away from each other, and it was found advisable to maintain the old ties. a new organization was established: the british commonwealth of nations, including about 50 independent states which were formerly parts of the british empire. the british commonwealth of nations encourages trade and friendly relations among its members. the queen is the official head of the commonwealth.

Hey, (имя друга/подруги). You probably don't want to speak to me. I understand. I just want to say I'm sorry I missed your birthday party. I know that I hurt your feelings but I couldn’t come. I know it sounds stupid but I didn’t have any new cool clothes. I heard that Alex was also invited to your party and you know how much I like him… I'm sorry for being such a terrible friend. I feel embarrassed and ashamed. By the way, how was the party? I hope you had fun and received a lot of cool presents. Talking about presents, I’m sorry that my present for you is still with me at home, so tell me if you want to see me this week. We could have our favourite pizza at that old restaurant by the sea. I’d be glad to give my present to you, at last. Once again – I’m sorry, so sorry… Please, forgive me. You know you are my best friend and I love you very much.
Kisses and hugs,
your bestest (now sad) friend Viola.
