英国文化英语作文三:介绍英国(英文)(1216字)

england is a nation in northwest europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the united kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of england occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of great britain and shares land borders with scotland to the north and wales to the west. elsewhere, it is bordered by the north sea, irish sea, atlantic ocean, and english channel.

england was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the angles — one of a number of germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries. the capital city of england is london, which is the largest city in the british isles, capital of the united kingdom and one of the world's global cities.

england ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching centres of cultural development in the world;it is the place of origin of both the english language and the church of england, was the historic centre of the british empire, and the birthplace of the industrial revolution.

the kingdom of england was an independent state until 1 may 1707, when the acts of union resulted in a political union with the kingdom of scotland to create the kingdom of great britain.

england's national day is st george's day (saint george being the patron saint), and it is celebrated annually on 23 april.
