Speech drill.Answer my questions.1. Who is the head of the UK?2.
Who is the head of the government?3. What houses does the
parliament consist of? 4. Who chooses the members of the House of
Commons?5. Who chooses the members of the House of Lords?
The Queen is the official head of the state.
She reigns, but doesnt rule. She represents the country, signs
bills, participates in different charity funds.
Her Majesty is an old tradition. But the most British really
love her and are vividly interested in everything concerning her
family.
Thousands of people come to London to watch her coming out,
changing the royal guard, visit her apartments in Buckingham
palace.
The executive branch.The government.
The Prime Minister, the leader of the party that has won at the
elections. He/she chooses the cabinet of ministers, coordinates
government departments. Any Prime Minister lives on Downing St.,10.
And is officially appointed by the Queen.
The legislative branch - Parliament.
Two Houses.The House of Commons.The members are elected by
people over 18.They make laws.The House of Lords.Examines and
discusses bills from the lower House. The members are not
elected.
