THE THEME:THE QUEEN AND THE PARLIAMENT
1.Read , translate the text and give a short summary on the topic “the State Power in Britain”
THE QUEEN AND THE PARLIAMENT
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO RULES THE COUNTRY IN BRITAIN? IF YOU DO, READ THE TEXT.
It is rather difficult to understand the British way of ruling the country. In Britain the Queen is the head of State, but in fact she doesn’t rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is the symbol of the country history and its traditions. She is very rich. She travels about the United Kingdom, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. So do all the members of the Royal family: the Queen’s husband, her son Prince Charles and his wife Diana, the Queen’s daughter Princess Margaret.
At the beginning of the century many countries all over the world were ruled by Britain. All of them were included into the British Empire and were its colonies. India, Pakistan, Ceylon, for example, were among them. Now these countries are independent state. But in 1949 Britain and the former colonies founded the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth includes many countries such as Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
The real power in the country belongs to the British Parliament has two “houses”: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The house of Lords doesn’t have much power but it is very important as it can offer and change laws, it can delay laws too. The House of Commons makes laws about the policy of the country, taxes and many other things.
The members of the House of Lords are not elected. These members are permanent. They are often aristocrats, people of the church, lawyers and former politicians.
The members of the House of Commons are elected. The British people elect 650 members of the House of Commons every five years.
