  The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) was created by a group of islands lying off the north-west coast of mainland Europe. The largest of the islands is Great Britain, which comprises England, Wales and Scotland. Next largest is Ireland, comprising Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, and, in the south, the Republic of Ireland.
  Four different nations(England,scotland,wales and Northern ireland) made up one state, The United Kingdom.The central goverment is in London, but Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their separate assemblies for internal affairs.
  
  The United Kingdom, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to wrangling over the peace process.
  
  Culture in the United Kingdom is rich and diverse, with a strong tradition of literature, theatre, popular and orchestral music and the performing arts. These, together with collections in UK museums and galleries, act as a magnet for overseas visitors and make a substantial contribution to the economy.
  
  London is the capital of the UK,which looks unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal,unlike comparable European cities. Visiting London is like being let loose on a giant-sized Monopoly board clogged with traffic. Even though you probably won't know where the hell you are, at least the names will look reassuringly familiar. The city is so enormous, visitors will need to make maximum use of the underground train system: unfortunately, this dislocates the city's geography and makes it hard to get your bearings.
  
  London is a year-round tourist center, with few of its attractions closing or significantly reducing their opening hours in winter. Your best chance of good weather is in July and August, but that is when you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices.
  
  The United Kingdom is a fertile country , because it is well-watered, low-lying, temperate climate, and supports a large population, but has only a small land area and is therefore densely populated.
  And it is very convient to go to other Europine countries by highway,railway,ships and flight,for example,it only needs 3 hours from London to Paris by the Tunnel.

  On Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte(April 21,1816-March 31,1855) is the author of Jane Eyre,which I've read in the winter holiday.Charlotte Bronte was born in a simple family at Thornton,in Yorkshire,England and she was the third kid of six.Her childhood life was not easy and happy.Her mother died of cancer when Charlotte was only 5 years old and her father was just a poor pastor.But the father was well-educated,so he would always taught his children to study and it was their father that cultivated three Bronte sisters'interest of literature,whose novels have become famous classics of English literature.During one period,Charlotte and her sisters were sent to a school,where the conditions were extremely awful.However the hardship never broke down Charlotte.On the contrary,the more she suffered,the more she learned.Finally,Charlotte Bronte became a well-known novelist by writing Jane Eyre,Shirley,Villette,The Professor and so on. Jane Eyre,which I think is based on Charlotte her own experience,is her maiden work published in 1847.The heroine,a plain girl named Jane Eyre,burded with the misfortune of nature and society,starts her life to search for her dream.Her parents die when she is only a two-year-old baby,so she is sent to Geteshead,where live her aunt Mrs Reed and her three cousins.But Jane is always insulted by them.Eventually sent 10-year-old Jane to a school to study Bible.It's clear that the life there is also terrible,but Jane makes a good friend called Helen Burns.After studying and working in the school for eight years,Jane intends to leave in order to get more freedom and borden her herhonzon.Then Jane finds a job as a governess at Thornfield where she falls in love with the host,Mr Rochester.But on the day of their wedding,Jane is informed that their marriage is illegal because Mr Rochester has already a wife,a mad woman.Jane Eyre is so shocked.Although she still loves Mr Rochester deeply,she has no alternative but to live him.During the time when she is away from Thornfield,she takes over the treasure from her uncle.At the ending of the story,Jane returns to Thornfield because of her endless love for Mr Rochester,who also loves her much but loses his sight and gets wounded in a fire,which Jane never minds,and they then live a happy life together.Jane Eyre in this novel is a poor girl but she never gives in to the difficulties.I see her struggling for life,her toughness,her confidence and her self-respect.I also learn that the beauty on face may make people feel comfortable at first sight,but it's the inner beauty that lasts for long.Never complain of your unluck,please remember that all the people are equal in personality and God is really equal.My dear friend,your life is in your own hands and how to create it is decided all by yourself.Just do it and I know you can make it.
