5. The British Isles
Many thousands of years ago the mainland of Europe stretched much further west than now, and by the sinking of the land, the ocean covered a great deal of the continent. The British Isles and neighboring small islands were left above the surface of the sea, because they were the highest parts of the land. The water flowed into the valleys among the hills, thus producing an uneven coast and many good harbors.
There are many facts which prove this. None of the seas round the British Isles are very deep. In fact in some parts of the North Sea there is a depth of less than six meters. The rounded flat-topped hills that give character to the English scenery have been worn down by the slowly moving sheet of ice that once covered the whole of Northern Europe. The white chalk cliffs of Southern England correspond to those of Northern France, while the lowlands of the east coast correspond to the lowlands of Holland. The forests that once covered the greater part of the country were made up of common European trees. Nowadays there are practically no forests in Britain, but there are very many leafy trees that give beauty to the countryside.
Британские острова
Много тысяч лет назад континентальная часть Европы протягивалась намного дальше на запад, чем сейчас, и с понижением уровня земли, океан покрыл большую часть континента. Британские острова и соседние с ними небольшие острова остались над уровнем моря, потому что они были самыми высокими частями земли. Вода текла в долины среди холмов, таким образом, производя неровное побережье и много хороших гаваней.
Есть много фактов, которые доказывают это. Ни одно из морей вокруг Британских островов не является очень глубоким. Фактически в некоторых частях Северного моря есть глубина менее шести метров. Округленные холмы с плоской вершиной, которые дают характер английскому пейзажу, были стерты медленно движущимся слоем льда, который когда-то покрывал всю Северную Европу. Белые как мел утесы южной Англии соответствуют таковым в Северной Франции, в то время как низменность восточного побережья соответствует низменности Голландии. Леса, которые когда-то покрывали большую часть страны, представляли собой обычные европейские деревьея. В настоящее время в Великобритании нет фактически никаких лесов, но есть очень много покрытых листвой деревьев, которые дают красоту сельской местности.

Dnipro is the leading business, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Southeastern Ukraine.
I really like the city, it is very beautiful, cozy and diverse with museums, fountains, very beautiful churches, theaters, parks and playgrounds. For example: Bridge City, Passage, Caravan, Our Truth, Babylon and many more. The history of Dnepropetrovsk is very rich. From time immemorial, the area where Dnepropetrovsk is now located has had ancient settlements since the Paleolithic times. After the formation of Zaporizhzhya Sich in the XVI century, these lands became actively populated, here began to appear villages, farms and cities. The most famous city of the first half of the 16th century was the city of Samar, the old name of Samar, which was located on the outskirts of the present village of Shevchenko at the mouth of the Samara River. Later, the Cossacks built the new town of Novy Kaydak, and where Samar used to be, in 1688 built the Bogorodetsky Fortress. In 1775, the Zaporozhye Cossacks were liquidated and its territory divided between the two provinces of Azov and Novorossiysk. In 1776 Catherine the Second founded the center of the Azov province, which was called Ekaterinoslav. The new town on the River Kilchen did not last long, in terms of geology it was a bad location. Only in 1784, on January 22, the second Katerynoslav was founded near the Dnieper River, it was originally planned that the city would become the "Third Capital of Russia". During the visit of Catherine, in May 1787, the city officially became known as Catherine. However, the location of the new city was also unsuccessful, with difficulties in water supply, so the city center moved west down to the Dnieper River, where the Cossack settlement of Polovitsa lived. In 1790 the city acquired its original location, and to this day it is the center of Dnepropetrovsk. Today our city is undergoing a revival. After a number of renovations, the old buildings were renovated, the city center is gradually becoming a new metropolis, and new airlines have opened, connecting the city with the world. Dnipropetrovsk is famous not only for its architecture and industry, but also as a center for new technologies and scientific thought. Noisy narrow streets, beautiful wide avenues, parks. Dnepropetrovsk is unique in its picturesque promenades and bridges. In the center of the city is the Taras Shevchenko Drama Theater, it was founded in 1919 as the first national theater in Ukraine. Like the Shevchenko Theater, the Gorky Theater has a history. In 1927, this theater first found its audience, and in 1932 the Dnipropetrovsk Russian Drama Theater was named after Maxim Gorky. The Opera and Ballet Theater was founded in 1931, in 1941 it was evacuated to Krasnoyarsk. After the war, the theater officially ceased operations, but was revived in 1974, December 26, 1974 - the first season opened. There is also a children's theater in the city, a one-act "Creek" theater. Going back to the history of the city, you can learn a lot by visiting the Jawornytsky Historical Museum. Dmytro Yavornytsky has collected thousands of unique exhibits and objects of the old life of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, from weapons to embroideries and dresses of that time. The museum can tell about the life of Zaporozhye Cossacks and Zaporozhye Sich.
