The official name for the country whose language we study is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In everyday use, however, the word “Britain” is quite possible. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has several different names. Some people say “Great Britain”, or “Britain”, or
“the United Kingdom”, or just “the U.K.” and “G.B.”
Great Britain is an island that lies off the north west of Europe. It is the largest island of Europe. It is 500 km wide and nearly 1,000 km long.
There is the Atlantic Ocean on the north of it and the North Sea on the east.
The English Channel, which is about 21 miles separates the U.K. from the continent.
Its closest continental neighbours are France and Belgium. Recently the channel Tunnel, which links France and England, has been built.

United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
England, Scotland and Wales are three main parts of Great Britain.
