Ход урока:

I. Организационный момент.

T: Good morning boys and girls. I’m glad to see you. How are you? Let’s begin our lesson. Look at the blackboard. Here are some pictures. What can you see there?

P: There is a castle and we can see men in national costumes.

T: Where are these men and the castle?

P: I suppose they are in London. It’s the Tower of London.

T: You are right. So, children, can you guess the theme of our lesson?

Cl: We are going to speak about the Tower of London, the people who work there, the Yeoman Warders.

T: Yes, you are right. We’ll also remember some grammar rules and learn new words, learn about some old English traditions, watch a film and do the test.

II. Речевая зарядка.

T: But before reading the text about them I want you to answer some of my questions. Have you ever been abroad? Have you ever been to London?

T: Why do people travel?

P: There are different reasons for that, I believe. Some of them travel for pleasure and there are people who go on a business trip.

T: What way of travelling do you know?

P: Actually there are a lot of ways of travelling. People may travel by air, by railway, by sea, by road and on foot.

T: How do you like travelling? Why?

P1: I like travelling by plane, because it’s the fastest and the most convenient way of travelling but it’s the most expensive one.

P2: I like travelling by train because it’s comfortable and safe. Comfortable seats and speed make the long journey enjoyable. And it’s not so expensive as by plane.

P3: I like travelling by ship because I can enjoy a lot of different places of interest.

P4: I prefer travelling by car because it’s very convenient. You needn’t reserve tickets and you have an opportunity to stop wherever you wish. You may also spend at any place as much time as you like and have a good time.

T: There is one more way of having a good time. It’s hiking. What is good about hiking?

P5: It’s rather pleasant to feel nature every day. Hiking is very popular with people who enjoy the countryside. It is really romantic to live in tents in the forest, for example. And it’s so nice to breathe in fresh air and enjoy the sun all day long.

III.

T: Now I know about your favourite ways of travelling. Let’s look at the pictures and remember about some places of interest in London. But before doing the task I want you to remember the grammar rules. Do you remember the relative pronouns and adverbs? What do they refer to?

P: •      Who/that refer to people |•     Which/that refer to thing | •   Whose shows possession |             •When refers to time | •          Where refers to place | •        When refers to reason

T: Now do the tasks.

1) In the centre of Trafalgar Square there is a statue of Admiral Nelson ……. defeated the French at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

2) This is Piccadilly Circus ……. is the meeting point of six streets.

3) You can see a lot of tourists in front of the Buckingham Palace at 10.30 …… the ceremony of changing the guard begins.
