  Некоторые тезисы из работы по теме England
  The modern culture of England is sometimes difficult to identify and separate clearly from the culture of the wider United Kingdom, so intertwined are its composite nations. However, the traditional and historic culture of England is more clearly defined.
  So, we can say England is a country inside a country. It has its own traditions, culture and landscapes. To understand the culture, the set of mind of a country or a nation we have to touch upon all its sides.
  In this term paper our aim is to highlight the following topics concerning England:
  - history of England;
  - its geography, climate;
  - political background;
  - traditions and customs;
  - religion;
  - cuisine;
  - sport.
  English cuisine is shaped by the country's temperate climate, its geography, and its history. The latter includes interactions with other European countries, and the importing of ingredients and ideas from places such as North America, China, and India during the time of the British Empire and as a result of post-war immigration. Traditional meals have ancient origins, such as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies, and freshwater and saltwater fish.
  England, like the other nations of the United Kingdom, competes as a separate nation in some international sporting events. The English association football, cricket and rugby union teams have contributed to an increasing sense of English identity.
