Great Britain is located in the continent of Europe and includes England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is one of the 206 countries competing in the Rio 2016 Olympics. This country has a population of 63.1 million people. Great Britain has 366 athletes competing in the olympics. Great Britain is completely surrounded by the North Atlantic sea. The flag of Great Britain is a Union Jack with the colours of white,red,and blue.
The top tourist attraction in Great Britain is the Tower of London. In the tower there are priceless Crown Jewels and there are amazing stories in the walls. Did you know that There is only a 34 kilometre (21 mile) gap between England and France and the countries are connected by the Channel Tunnel which opened in 1994. The Summer Olympic Games have been held in London 3 times, in 1908, 1948 and 2012.
An environmental issue in Great Britain is Air pollution. It is mostly caused by transportation and factories. Great Britain has been trying to avoid air pollution but the air is still getting contaminated by dust clouds. This country has a lot of good tourist attractions and I hope they can find a solution to their environmental issues.
