Dear Emma,
Thank you for your letter. I'm happy to recieve it from you! I fully agree with you about summer holidays and I love them as much as you do! You've asked me some questions, so let me answer them.
First of all, I want to say that there are three places where I spend my long summer holidays. When June starts I go to the countryside to my grandparents. I love spending my time in this little village. My grandmother cooks very delicios pies and my grandfather takes me to catch some fish. I'm having really good time there, because I have many friends there. We go to the lake and swim, bike to the wood, play with the ball and so on. After a month my parents and I travel abroad. We visited many countries, for example we've been in France, Bulgary, German etc. But my favourite country is Turkey, I love swimming and sunbathing very much, so for me, it is better than sightseeing in Europe. And the last month of my summer holidays I spend at home, preparing for new studying year. But it is not bad, because the weather is still very hot and sunny in Russia. It makes me to be in a good mood.
What about you? Tell me more about your summer holidays.
Best wishes,

Объяснение:
1) the term “constitutional monarchy" means that Great Britain is governed by the Parliament and the Queen is Head of State.
2) The legislative power in the country is exercised by the Houses of Parliament. The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
3) The House of Lords is composed of hereditary and life peers and peeresses. The members of the House of Commons are elected by the people.
4) The executive power is exercised by Prime Minister and his Cabinet.
5) The executive branch of the government is usually formed by the political party which is supported by the majority in the House of Commons. Prime Minister is the majority party leader and is appointed by the Queen. Prime Minister chooses a team of ministers; twenty of the ministers are in the Cabinet.
6) The second largest party becomes the official opposition with its own leader and the Shadow Cabinet.
7) The judiciary branch of the government determines common law and is independent of both the legislative and the executive branches.
8) There is no written constitution in Great Britain, only precedents and traditions.
