a) What surprises you...

The Queen's appearance surprised us a lot. She didn't seem as old as she is and spoke clearly and was very easy to understand.

b) Which picture of the UK...

They seem like they put up a front. They are very traditional, uptight and a bit stiff.

c) What is it in the video...

All the material things and the surroundings. They don't really show any emotions and speak in a very formal way.

8) THE EUROPEAN UNION AND REFERENDUM

The government want to renegotiate the relationship with the European Union and pursue a reform [of the European Union] that will benefit all the member states.

An early legislation will provide an in-out referendum on membership [of the European Union] before the end of 2017.

Maybe she's referring to a possible election of the membership in the European Union.

What pleases us is to see that Scotland and Wales are getting more independent.

We are also happy with the help, the lower part of society are going to get.

b)

The queen gets an respectable image by the house of commons, and we get an image that she has the power to overrule any laws. it is a very traditional setting.

c)

The silent crowd, the majestic miscellaneous. The politicians showed her the respect, like they di to no other.
