  Great Britain is an island that lies off the northwest coast of Europe. The nearest country is France which is 20 miles away. Great Britain is separated from France by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It includes the main lands of England, Wales and Scotland. Scotland is in the north while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Great Britain. It is made up of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

  

  Great Britain together with Northern Ireland forms the United Kingdom (U. K. ). So the U. K. is made up of four countries. The largest of these is England, which is divided into 43 counties. The capital city London is on the river Thames.

  Dear Florence,

  We arrived in India last week, and the voyage was the worst experience of my entire life.I’m lucky to be alive!

  The first part of the journey was terrible, because the ship hit bad weather almost as soon as we left Liverpool.But much, much worse was to come.Later, we were involved in a collision with another boat and we had to abandon ship!

  We had been at sea for about two weeks and we were in the Mediterranean.There is now a canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea called the Suez Canal, which opened last year.Our boat stopped at Port Said, the Egyptian port at the entrance to the canal.I remember looking through the porthole of my cabin and wishing that I could go ashore and visit this fascinating place, but mummy had ordered that I was to stay in the cabin because I was feeling ill.“You must stay here for at least another two days.” I remember her saying.How wrong she would turn out to be! The ship left the port and headed towards the canal.I was alone in the cabin and I watched the port disappear into the distance.Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by the most awful crunching(嘎吱的)sound, and the ship shook and turned slightly on its side.

There was an eerie silence for a moment, and then people started shouting.Mummy came running into the cabin and told me that we had collided with another boat.She took my hand and we ran along the deck towards the lifeboats.There was a lot of shouting and people were running everywhere, but the crew were all acting calmly, helping people into the lifeboats and telling people not to panic.

  Well, clearly we survived, as did all the passengers and crew of the ship.The other boat wasn’t so lucky.It sank and several lives were lost.

  I will write about the rest of the journey soon.Please give my love to Aunt Claire and Uncle Eric.

Your loving cousin,

Jane
