English Speaking-Countries!




To continue the development of ideas, referring to the knowledge of geographical and historical aspects of English-speaking countries, for those students learning English as a second language, be taken into account two English speaking countries very important for understanding many relevant aspects of such paise and so in this way can make a comparison with their country of origin, to be specific Venezuela. Countries to develop in this volume are (United States of America and Ireland).

United States and Venezuela:
First must be bounded both countries are countries belonging to the same continent, but also must be defined, which differ in geography, political, economic, among others, also is very important to note that those countries, different languages ​​have for each of these, the English spoken by American and Spanish community in the Venezuelan community, but it is worth noting also that as both countries are located on the same continent and as the English one of the most taught language in the world today the influence of this language in Venezuela is not an exception.
United States is an American country located on the northern tip of the continent, is one of the world's largest countries, the eighth largest country to be more specific, this country is made
​​up of fifty states, including the American state of Alaska and the island of Hawaii, as a pate of its territory, its boundaries are the Atlantic Ocean to the east, north shares borders with Canada in the west bordering the Pacific Ocean, and southward to Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. Its capital is Washington DC but like Canada, Scotland and other countries of the world, kept in the most populous country is New York City, being one of the world's most populous countries, USA has other major cities in its territory, such as: Los Angeles, California / Miami, Florida/ Houston, Texas, among other major cities, climate and vegetation within the country is very diverse and could range from more tropical and warm, humid and rainy through even the coldest temperatures and forests of the continent. As regards politics in the United States of America is concerned, the country is governed by a federal president, who is responsible for all internal and external political affairs of the country, the president is Mr. Barack Obama, after his power which is the largest, the country has a vice-president, who is entrusted with the political affairs conducted in the national parliament, the country also has a secretary of state in charges of labor affairs and responsible for informing the country and the world from the White House in Washington any decision taken by the president, the legislature in the country is made ​​up of Assembly members, mayors, governors and appointed some ministers, who makes decisions through discussion for the approval of laws proposed by the President for the welfare of the country and all Americans. USA is considered the most powerful country in the world, as this has a higher population of the planet and one of the best and strongest economies in the world, produced by this system of import and export, which is well known, USA's official currency is the U.S. Dollar, which is official throughout the country and is even so important a global currency that is used in other countries both American and European, African and Oceanic as its official currency as well, but more frequently in Latin America through its influence on the continent, USA is one of the countries with human development index higher according to the census conducted worldwide, also has the most frequented transportation in America and is recognized for its high quality media transport, as this has some of the most famous airports and busiest worldwide. Also the internet, the media like radio and TV are very important and recognized for the country's economy, leaving aside the national newspapers (The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal) these two the most important and requested in the country, without going unnoticed magazines fame and prestige throughout the country. In the U.S. there is no national system of education because the Federal government does not administer the schools and this system, each State has its own Department of Education, which sets the rules for schools, also public colleges and universities receive funding from their State. The level of education system in the U.S divided into: Elementary School (Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade and so on), Middle School (6th Grade through 8th Grade), High School (9th Grade through 12th Grade), Post-secondary Education, Tertiary Education (College or University), Vocational Education, Graduate Education and Adult Education. Being so divided the American educational system, note that United States has the most prestigious universities in America and the world, plus it has many famous libraries around the world for its magnificent architecture and its ability to receive all types of readers its surroundings. Comparing a bit with Venezuela all this information we can find many similarities in political and education system is, but also their great differences exist between them, and just starting with the geography and historical aspects, both U.S. and Venezuela because it is worth noting that neither of have the same geography, climate, vegetation type, differences between major cities and populated, and so on. Each country has its own rules, independence day, the official language, flag, anthem, seal, etc. and obviously different governance regimes but with some similarities in terms of court orders and policies are concerned, both countries have a president and parliament legislation which approves all laws which will govern the country and citizens. But as for the education system in the U.S. and Venezuela, there are similarities we can do more than mention a comparison, in that both systems are divided to serve the student population depending on age and educational level in which the child , the young or the adult you are, but also must take into account that unlike USA-Venezuela, the Venezuelan government, specifically the Ministry of Education, administers the Venezuelan education and allows all Venezuelans enter this, the Venezuelan education system is biased and equitable for everyone, in exchange for U.S. that will depend on the department of Education in each state with its own rules to manage these issues.
Ireland and Venezuela: Ireland is an island to the northwest of continental Europe. It is the third-largest island in Europe and the twentieth island on Earth. Politically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland, a part of United Kingdom (U.K). Ireland is a bilingual country because the official languages ​​are Irish Gaelic and English and are spoken by the majority of the population in Ireland. Its capital city is Dublin and it is the largest city in all the country. The weather and the vegetation of  Ireland is exquisite as in Ireland is rainy weather almost all year, except summer time, and the vegetation looks very cool throughout the year and this allows it to be a country suitable for agriculture, livestock, but this activity is one of the largest European country exports. The country is ruled by a president, Mr. Michael Higgins, is the current President of the Republic of Ireland and this is responsible for all the political affairs of the country, the country has a federal parliamentary government and the legislature general republic where many important decisions are taken which will govern the country. As regards Ireland's economy, we can say that the official currency is the Euro, as this country is owned by the European Union, which the countries that make using the Euro as official currency, the country's GDP is agriculture, as they export all that occurs in Irish lands, means of transportation, the internet and the media are very important for the European country's economy. Education in Ireland is sophisticated and most schools, colleges and universities are private, yet if public education in the country, schools and universities are bilingual, which allows Irish citizens learn the two official languages ​​of the country, as that was a big plus for them and this occurs in both public institutions and private.


Comparing this European country with Venezuela, one can say that if there are many differences between the two countries, since in Venezuala only known Spanish as the only official language, for unlike the Irish Ireland are recognized Gaelic and English, both spoken by the majority of the Irish population, on the other hand, the economy is very different because in spite that Venezuela also exports agricultural products, its overall GDP and petroleum, is the official currency the Bolivar, however Ireland is through the export agriculture and the official currency is the Euro, the highest denomination of Venezuela, transport and communication are also highly different, as these are published in their official languages ​​for each country, the Internet is similar but use demands very different and as refers the education system in Venezuela, most of the population studied in schools and universities that are part of the public education system but without leaving aside the private education is also recognized within the country, unlike Ireland which reads in its educational system that tends to be private education in most of the Irish territory but apart from public education to a specific sector of the population, which prefers this system. Therefore, if there are major differences between Ireland like European country and Venezuela like Latin American country.
