Перевидите The British Isles lie in the north-west of Europe. They consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and many smaller ones. Great Britain, the largest island in Europe, includes England, Scotland, and Wales. It is separated from Ireland by the Irish Sea, and from the Continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. Great Britain and Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom (UK). The surface of England and Ireland is flat, but the surface of Scotland and Wales is mountainous. The mountains are almost all in the western part. The highest mountain in the United Kingdom is Ben Nevis in Scotland (1343 m). The longest river is the Severn. It is in the south-west of England. The Thames is not so long as the Severn, it is shorter. The sea enters deeply into the land and has a great influence on the climate, which is damp but rather mild: the winter is not very cold and the summer is not very hot. Over 57 million people live in the United Kingdom. Most of the people of Great Britain live in big towns and cities. The capital of the country is London. The main industrial centres are Sheffield and Birmingham where iron goods are made, Manchester, the cotton centre of England, and others. The important ports of the country are London, Liverpool, Glasgow and others.

Not that long ago men were often accused of being vain when they looked in a mirror to see if their hair was tidy, or were criticized for putting moisturizing creams on their face. Today, however, its quite normal for men to care about their appearance as much as women do. Some people would even consider men who dont take pride in how they dress and look to be old-fashioned! 2. Do you watch fashion models walking down the catwalk in the latest styles at fashion shows and think: Ill never be able to afford that!? You might be surprised to find that you can. Most high street stores these days stock clothes that are almost identical to the ones models were wearing at fashion shows only a few months ago. The difference is the price. The slinky black dress which the model was wearing may be ten times more expensive than the copy available in the high street! 3. The thing about fashion is that it changes. If it didnt, it wouldnt be fashion! Things come into fashion, and then go out of fashion. Take jeans. In the 1970s, people wore jeans which were tight around the waist but became wider and wider towards the foot. This fashion of flared trousers had disappeared completely by the early 19S0s and didnt reappear until the 1990s.6. 4. Go into any supermarket or chemist and youll see row upon row of gels, creams and mousses for your hair. Some are for women, some are for men and some are for children. What most of them have in common nowadays is that they claim to be extremely strong. The companies that produce them say in their advertisements that they keep your hair styled in the way that you want it for hours and hours, often even if you get your hair wet. 5. Most clothes shops and shoe shops stock products for the average customer. For most of us, this isnt a big problem. If we buy a pair of jeans that are too long, we can get them taken up. For some people, however, it is difficult to find clothes and shoes in the high street that fit. So what should you do if you have extremely big feet, or are particularly large or small? Thankfully, there are a number of shops, catalogues and websites that make and sell shoes and clothes specifically for people who do not have average bodies. 6. Although many teenage boys and girls dream of being models, the job isnt as glamorous or easy as it sounds. If youre on a fashion shoot, you may have to get there at five oclock in the morning. Youll spend several hours getting your make-up put on and being dressed in the right clothes, and then several more hours posing for photographs. It can be tiring and boring and you might not be able to have anything to eat all day. Being a model is also stressful, as you never know whether youll be offered work the next day, and you always have to look your best.
