Коспект учебного занятия по английскому языку "Travelling to Australia" (7 класс)

THE UNKNOWN SOUTHERN LAND

Even in medieval times there were stories about a large continent in the Southern Hemisphere. But Europeans had never seen it. They wondered what it was like and whether it was inhabited. They called this land terra australis incognita, or “the unknown southern land” – Australia.

            Nowadays when people speak of Australia they can mean three things: 1) Australia as a continent; 2) Australia is an island and 3) Australia as an independent country. Australia is the world’ largest island and its smallest continent.

            Australia is a land of striking differences. In the centre of the continent and in the west more than 50% of the land is desert – dry and uninhabited. There are three deserts there – the Great Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert and the Gibson Desert, situated between them. Naturally very few people live there. Most of them live on narrow coasts of the east and south-east. Main cities, where people live among tall offices buildings, automobile plants and busy factories, are also situated there.

In the north-east tropical forests cover the coast. In the mountains of the south-east the snow lies for seven months of the year.

Australia is divided into six states and two territories.

New South Wales is Australia’s leading industrial state. Most people live along the east coast, and most of them are in Sydney. Sydney is also the largest city in Australia.

In Victoria most people live in the south. Melbourne is the capital of the state and the largest city. Sheep and wheat are the main products here. Citrous fruits, grapes, peaches and apricots are grown along the Murray River.

Queensland is Australia’s second largest state. Brisbane, its capital, is situated on the east coast. Queensland has long beautiful sandy beaches. Its coast is a popular place for holidaymakers. The climate along the east coast is hot and humid. It is the tropical corner of Australia. Bananas and other tropical fruits are grown here. Most of the land in the south is too dry for farming. Some of Australia’s most unproductive desert lands occupy the bigger part of the state.

The state of Western Australia is dry and inhospitable except the south-western corner of the state. Nearly all of the state’s farms, sheep stations and fruit gardens are situated there. The rest of the state is dry desert land with very few towns or lonely cattle stations.

South Australia is the third largest state. Most of South Australia’s people, farms and industry are in the south-eastern part of the state. Adelaide is the capital and the largest city. Most of South Australia is too dry for farming. Farming very much depends on irrigation or underground water. Some of Australia’s most unproductive desert lands occupy the greater part of the state. Wheat and fruit (apricots, pears, peaches, nectarines and grapes) are grown along the lower part of the Murray River.

Tasmania, the island state, is sometimes called the apple isle because it produces most of Australia’s apples. Tasmania is one of the few places in Australia that have enough rain all year. Tasmania is Australia’s leading producer of pears and berries of different kinds. Potatoes are also grown in some areas.

Northern Territory is the least populated and least developed part of Australia. Crocodiles still live in some of the swamps along the coast. Darwin is its capital and the only large settlement in the north. Alice Springs, generally called Alice or the Alice, is the only town in the south.

The capital of Australia is Canberra. The city doesn’t belong to any state. It is situated on the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), which occupies an area of 2,432 square kilometers.

Говорение	Развивать навыки говорения	And now let’s go to the Australian Bush Market. Many different tribes live in Australian deserts. They all have different languages and they don’t understand each other. They meet in the market place once a week. As they have no money, they exchange their goods. They all know only a little bit of English, so their language is very limited. They usually say something like ‘If I give you this seashell, what will you give me?’. The other dealer or trader has to say: ‘If you give me this seashell, I’ll give you a postcard’. If the first dealer likes the idea, he should say: OK. It’s a deal. If he doesn’t like the idea the answer should be: ‘No, no deal!’ Traders also have to advertise their goods, saying:’Look! It’s gorgeous!’ Choose something from these goods. Use the adjectives from the box to describe the items you have. Make two circles, inner circle and outer circle. Stand opposite each other. Exchange your goods with other traders.
