Конспект внеклассного мероприятия (“ An excursion to the London Underground”)

Task 1.  Practice reading, mind the information ( После предъявления  презентации учащимся раздаются подготовленные  задания ,учащиеся  читают информацию, выполняют задания )

 Do you know…?

1. The Underground is an excellent means of public transport for large cities and vast urban areas. Transportation speed, comfort and safety make it very popular.

2. The London Underground   was nicknamed “The Tube” because the tunnels resemble large tubes. 

3. Despite its name, only 45% of system is actually 'underground' in tunnels, with much of the system   operating on the surface.

4. The world's first underground railway was opened in January 1863 between Paddington   and Farrington using gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives.

5. The London Underground was the first city underground system in the world.

It is more than 153 years old.

6. There are 11 lines and more than 280   stations. The total length of the London Underground network is 250 miles (402 km)

 7. The Tube's logo is known as “the roundel” (a red circle crossed by a horizontal blue bar).

8. In 2015 it carried 3.2   million passengers daily, making the Underground the world's 11^th busiest metro system.

 9. Sometimes in the rush hours the Underground is overcrowded.

10. The tube closes overnight. The first trains run from about 05:00 and the last trains until just after 01:00, with later starting times at weekends.

11. Paper tickets, the contactless Oyster card, contactless debit or credit cards and Apple Pay  

smart-phones and watches can be used for travel.

12. Each line is identified by an alphanumeric index, a name and a colour on the Underground map.

 13. Harry Beck, the designer of the map in 1933, was only paid five guineas for the job.

Task2 .Compare the Underground systems in Moscow and London using the information from the table. Say, which is busier, which older and longer.

Cities	Population	Operates since	Length	Number of stations	Number of lines	In 2015 it carried(  on the average)
Moscow	More than 12,6 million	1935	333.3  km	More than 200	12 lines	About 9  million  passengers daily
London	More than7,5 million	1863	402  km	More than 280	11 lines	3.2  million passengers daily

Task 3. T: You know that there are some rules in the underground. What are you supposed/ not supposed to do in the Tube?

1. You should use paper tickets, the contactless Oyster card, contactless debit or credit cards  and Apple Pay  smart- phones and watches  to pay for  your travel.

 2. On escalators you are supposed to stand on the right and walk on the left.

3. You should be careful getting on and off the Underground train.  Mind the gap!
