This means that it has a monarch (a king or a queen) as its Head of State. The present British monarch is Queen Elizabeth II, who succeeded to the throne in 1952. The monarch has very little power and can only reign with the support of Parliament, which consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Parliament and the monarch have different roles in the government of the country. In reality, the House of Commons is the only one that has true power, it introduces new bills. They then go to the House of Lords for approval, and finally the monarch signs them. Only then they can become laws.' The House of Commons is made up of 650 elected members, known as Members of Parliament (or MPs), each of; whom represents an area of the UK. The political parties choose candidates in elections. The party which wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons forms the Government and its leader usually becomes Prime .Minister. The largest minority party becomes the Opposition (or the "Shadow Cabinet"). The Prime Minister chooses about twenty MPs from his or her party and forms his or her Cabinet Ministers. Each minister is responsible for a particular area of government. For example, the Minister of Defence is responsible for defence policy and the armed forces, the Home Secretary for law and order and immigration. The House of Lords consists of more than 1,000 hereditary lords and peers. It has very little power. The two main political parties in Great Britain are the Conservative and the Labour party. Now the Conservative party is in power. The Conservatives have been in power since the 1970s and its main opponent, the Labour party, has formed the Shadow Cabinet.

TOPIC 1 – GREETING Essential Vocabulary
Greeting People Greeting people in a foreign language is not so simple as it may seem. There are many ways of saying “Hello” in English and the difficulty is to choose the right time. You would always say “Hello” to a friend. If you want to inquire after a person’s health you merely ask, “How are you?” (but not “How do you do” which is used when people are introduced to each other). The answer might be, “Very well, thank you”, or perhaps, “Thank you, not so well”, or any other conversational formulas. Of course, there are other ways of greeting a person. For instance, on coming to see or meeting people you know you might say “Good afternoon” or, perhaps, “Good morning”, or “Good evening”, but not “Good day”, which is quite dismissal. In different countries the rules of greeting are different, sometimes very unusual. Most of the nationalities just shake hands and say “Hello”. In Afghanistan people say “Hello” for at least five minutes. In Thailand they clasp hands together and bow, when greeting someone. At a formal meeting people immediately exchange their business cards. You should remember that if you give people a pleasant impression when you first meet them it is easier to deal with them further. Always try to smile to people, call them by name, be friendly and helpful. Never forget that we don’t have a second chance for the first impression. Answer the questions on the text:
