ENGLISH CULTURE

As Head of State The Queen has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political
matters, unable to vote or stand for election.

But The Queen does have important ceremonial and formal roles in relation to the
Government of the UK.
The formal phrase 'Queen in Parliament' is used to describe the British legislature,
which consists of the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of
Commons. The Queen's duties include opening each new session of Parliament,
dissolving Parliament before a general election, and approving Orders and
Proclamations through the Privy Council.

The Queen also has a special relationship with the Prime Minister, retaining the
right to appoint and also meeting with him or her on a regular basis.

In addition to playing a specific role in the UK Parliament based in London, The
Queen has formal roles with relation to the devolved assemblies of Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland.

OFFERINGS
It's common to use both 'would you like' and modal forms such as 'Can
I ...', 'May I ...' to offer something. Here are some of the most
important phrases used to offer something:
Can I get you some ...?
Would you like some ...?
May I offer you some ...?
Would you like me to get you some ....?
Example Dialogues
Person 1: Can I get you something to drink?
Person 2: Yes, that would be nice. Thank you.
Person 1: May I offer you some tea?
Person 2: Thank you.
NOTE: Always use 'some' words when offering someone something.
Informal
How about some ...?
What about some ...?
What do you say about some ...?
Are you up for some ...?
Example Informal Dialogues
Person 1: What about something to drink?
Person 2: Sure, do you have any scotch?
Person 1: Are you up for some dinner?
Person 2: Hey, thanks. What's on the menu?!
Accepting Offers
Accepting offers is just as important, or even more important than
offering things. Make sure to thank your host. If you don't want to
accept an offer, be sure to politely refuse. Offering an excuse is also a
good idea in order not to offend your kind host.
The following phrases are commonly used when accepting offers:
Thank you.
I'd love to.
I'd love some.
That would be nice.
Thank you. I'd like ...

meeting. Can we make a rain check?
FLAGS

The Union Flag, popularly
known as the *Union Jack, is
the national flag of
the United Kingdom. It is the
British flag.
It is called the Union Flag
because it symbolizes the administrative union of the countries of the
United Kingdom. It is made up of the individual Flags of three of the
Kingdom's countries all united under one Sovereign - the countries of
'England, of 'Scotland' and of 'Northern Ireland' (since 1921 only Northern
Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom). As Wales was not a
Kingdom but a Principality it could not be included on the flag.
St George-The National Flag of England

St Andrew The National flag of Scotland

St Patrick-Northern Ireland

THE FUTURE OF UKS FLAG
Fill the gaps with the correct words.
(1)__, the countries representing the UK, are

countries which form the United Kingdom, is

For the first time since 1707, the Scots now have
their own (4)__ in Edinburgh, and the Welsh
their own national assembly in Cardiff. As a result, the Scottish
saltire and the red dragon of Wales are much more in evidence.
Is the Union Flag (Union Jack) on its
way out?
In 1997, British Airways decided to scrub the Union Flag off the
tails of its airliners and replace it with pictures of jackals from
Africa and other ethnic designs. Its (5)__, Bob Ayling, said that
the airline was no longer a British company with global
operations, but a global company that happened

explained. But we want to show Britain as
modern, not imperial...We still have
our Beefeaters, but we now lead the world in
restaurants and in fashion.
In 2003, a campaign was (7)__ to try and
modernize the red, white and blue flag by adding a touch of
black to reflect multicultural Britain in the

More teenagers see themselves as English, Scottish or
Welsh rather than British
A YouGov poll (10) __ by the Daily Telegraph in 2007 found
that fewer than one third of today's teenagers instinctively think
of (11)__ as British rather than English, Scottish or Welsh. But,
pressed to say whether they also think of themselves as British,

Most people want the United Kingdom broken up
