The United Kingdom is located on the continent of Europe, and includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The country is a sovereign state whose capital is London. The name "England" is derived from the old English name "Englaland", which means "land of the Angles".
The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages.
The name of London, on the other hand, is derived from a word first attested in Latinised form, as Londinium.
There is a long history of mythicising etymologies, such as the twelfth-century Historia Regum Britanniae asserting that the city's name is derived from the name of King Lud who once controlled the city.
Have you ever heard of the term "pommy or pom"? The term pommy, often shortened to pom, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa denotes a person of British (English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish) origin. England is famous for many things-David Beckham, Fish and Chips, Big Ben, Red Buses, black cabs, Oasis, Blur, the Beatles, London and tea.
Windsor Castle is the oldest royal residence still in use. England is also famous for its educational institutes. There is another very interesting fact about the Big Ben.
Contrary to popular belief that Big Ben refers to the world famous clock, it is actually the name of the thirteen ton bell. The tower itself is known as St. Stephen's Tower. Under the lights of these lovely facts of the UK, why don't you learn and improve your English language skills in the UK? Here are some of the advantages of learning English in the UK; The UK is the birth place of the English language.
A fascinating country filled with history, culture and tradition. Besides, the biggest advantage of studying in the UK is that students are exposed to many different English accents and dialects, which helps develop their listening skills. They need to use English wherever they are and whatever they do. So do not waste your time. I, personally, as an ESOL teacher of many years, encourage you to improve your English language skills in the UK.
Good luck!
