The term Great Britain is used in different meanings. It may indicate a geographical object (the island of Great Britain) or a political object (England, Scotland and Wales in combination). Very often people use it in the meaning of the whole United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland as well) and in this meaning it will be used in this topic.
Great Britain is situated near the north-west coast of continental Europe. It is separated from the mainland by the North Sea and by the English Channel. The whole country occupies the island of Great Britain, the part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands.
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. The state’s government is situated there. The capitals of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The biggest cities of the UK also include Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool.
Great Britain consists of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Together, they form one state – the United Kingdom. It is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.

На картине «Девочка с персиками» (знаменитый портрет Веры Мамонтовой русского художника Валентина Серова) мы видим девочку в светло-розовом платье, сидящую за столом. Девочке около двенадцати лет.
Она смуглая, на ее щеках яркий румянец. У нее густые, темные, немного взъерошенные волосы. У девочки круглое лицо и густые темные брови. У нее большие карие глаза.
Девочка сидит в светлой комнате. Мне кажется, что это столовая. За девочкой большое окно в белой деревянной раме. Через окно видно листья деревьев в саду. Они светло-зеленые и желтые. В комнате белые стены. На стене рядом с окном висит белая фарфоровая тарелка с красивым синим узором. За девочкой мы также видим фигурку солдата.
В комнате есть несколько темно-коричневых деревянных стульев и маленький столик у окна. Большой стол, за которым сидит девочка, покрыт белой скатертью.
Девочка держит в руках большой желтый персик. На столе перед девочкой еще три персика. Также на столе лежат сухие кленовые листья и маленький ножик.
