What comes to your mind when you think about Great Britain?
Great Britain is a country of the most modern technologies and the most ancient
traditions. It hides some great mysteries though it tries to become opener to the world.
When I think about Great Britain I don’t see one country. I see many countries.
One of them is an ancient land of Stonehendge, with barbarian kingdoms of Pics and
Scots. Somewhere in the North of the country lives a monster – the famous Loch Ness
Monster, which then probably was a baby. I also see Robin Hood and his merry men
in Sherwood forest. I see monks and dukes riding here and there. I also see William
Wallace who fought for the freedom of Scots and won sp many battles.
At the same time I see the modern Britain, with its industrial cities and calm
country houses, with sheep Britain – the queen of seas and overseas, ruling colonies
in all parts of the world – in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. And I see Britain –
the centre of the Commonwealth, the Britain whose most popular dish id chicken
curry.
I see the Britain of Sherlock Holmes and of Queen Victoria. And I see the
Britain of Lady Diana. I see the Britain under the German bombs – and the peaceful
countryside with its pubs and golf fields.

Minsk is not only the capital of Belarus but also one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe. There are a lot of ancient sights in the city which are widely visited by tourists.
