Lý Nguyễn Trúc Mai - 20DH713406 by Mai Lý https://padlet.com/lymai110202/o5zn4hrrpp2yahmb After learning about British culture through the internet, I am interested in the queen and architecture of the UK. en-us 2022-10-06 14:08:17 UTC 2022-10-13 16:18:29 UTC hello@padlet.com First, I will talk about what impressed me about Queen Elizabeth II. She is the longest-reigning person in the history of the British royal family with a reign of 70 years 214 days. At the age of 25, she became Queen of the 7 autonomous countries of the Commonwealth: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon, as well as the Head of the Commonwealth. Her power is theoretically great, but she rarely gets involved in political affairs because the UK is a fully-fledged constitutional monarchy. She witnessed the constant change from the old British empire to the new British Commonwealth, then to the Commonwealth of Nations. By the time she ascended the throne in 1952, her role as the nominal head of state of her independent states had already been established. During her reign, she made numerous visits abroad, as well as visits to individual Commonwealth countries, including attending all the Heads of Government Meetings. British Commonwealth (CHOGM). Elizabeth II is the most visited head of state in history. lymai110202 https://padlet.com/lymai110202/o5zn4hrrpp2yahmb/wish/2329473107 2022-10-06 14:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lymai110202/o5zn4hrrpp2yahmb/wish/2329473107 Second, I will talk about the architecture of England. England has many outstanding and unique buildings with typical architecture. Elizabeth Tower (formerly known as Big Ben) is the most prominent architectural work of England, a symbol of stability, security and democracy and also the pride of the people of this country. The tower is designed in Victorian Gothic style and is 96.3 m high. Currently, Big Ben is still called "the world's largest bell four-faced clock". lymai110202 https://padlet.com/lymai110202/o5zn4hrrpp2yahmb/wish/2329476989 2022-10-06 14:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lymai110202/o5zn4hrrpp2yahmb/wish/2329476989 Buckingham Palace is the residence of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom in London, the official residence and principal workplace of the British Royal Family.
