Great Britain, the country with unique culture and history, the country with
the first Parliament, basis of democracy in Europe, the land of brave people
like admiral Nelson and queen Elizabeth if we want to the UK we must know

Teacher: Yes, you are right. Learning English is
very important nowadays. Do you agree with me?
P 5: Yes, I do. I learn English because it is
the language of new technologies and computers. Certain modern professions
require a good knowledge of English.
P 6: I learn English, because I understand
that I can use it. For example, If I go to England I will be able to speak
English there. If I go to the USA I will speak English too. English is used not
only in England but also in other parts of the world.
P 7: I learn English because I want to read
foreign literature in the original. I know and like such English and American
writers as Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll and others. I understand
that I must learn English. If I know English well I will be able to go to the
library and take books by English and American writers in the original.
P 8: I like to travel. But it is difficult to
visit countries, when you don’t know the language of these countries, where I
am going to it will be easy to travel there. If I want to ask something I can
do it in English.
P 9: I like to read books. And I like to read
newspapers too. If I know, for example, English I will be able to read English
newspapers and magazines. Knowledge of foreign languages helps young people of
different countries to understand each other, to develop friendship among them.
P 10: There are a lot of films in foreign
languages. If you know them, you can understand films without any help.
Teacher: Thank you, if we learn English we should
know all about the country. We know that Great Britain consists of England,
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. By the way, do you know what their
capitals are?
P 1: Their capitals are: London, Cardiff,
Edinburgh and Belfast.
Teacher: But today we are going to talk only
about the geographical position of Great Britain, its climate, main industries,
political system and Scotland with its beautiful landscape. Vadim and Kristina
prepared a very nice presentation about the UK. Let’s start with you Vadim, all
the rest listen to her very attentively and be ready to answer the questions
given to you.

Our girls prepared a very nice presentation about Scotland. Listen, watch and
then be ready to answer the questions (Вопросы по теме«Scotland» розданы учащимсяперед просмотром презентации и прослушиванием информации). Let’s start with you Vadim.
Слайд№1. (If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that geographically
it consists of three main parts: Lowlands, Uplands and Highlands with their
Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain peak, Ben Nevis (1343 meters),
is located. It is a vast territory of about 79 00 square kilometers, but the
population of Scotland is only five million people. If we compare it with
Moscow, it is just half of the population of our capital.)
Слайд№2(You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied
landscape: the hills, covered with purple heather (if you manage to find the
white one, then you are lucky), its beautiful lakes (here they are called
lochs), its green and narrow valleys (or glens)… Other countries might have
higher peaks, deeper lakes and broader valleys, but the unique Scottish
combination of mountain, loch and glen continues to capture the hearts of all
who come here.)
Слайд№3(The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch
Lomond, but the most famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster
Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears to scare the tourists but only in fine
weather, which is a great rarity for Scotland.)
Слайд№4(But what can be more peculiar and attractive for tourists than a
man in the kilt, playing the bagpipes? The Celts of Scotland made the chequered
pattern of tartan the national dress of the country.)
Слайд№5(The earliest Scots formed themselves into clans (family groups)
and the tartan became a symbol of the sense of kinship. Sometimes there were
fierce battles between different clans but nowadays the Macdonalds and the
MacKenzies (Mac means “son of”), the Campbells and the Camerons live in peace
with each other. There are about 300 different clans in Scotland, and each has
its own colour and pattern of tartan together into motto.)

Слайд№6(Scotland is a land of many famous people: writers and poets,
scientists and philosophers. Just imagine: you are reading about far-away,
rainy and foggy, mysterious and romantic Scotland and hear a telephone bell.
You come up to the phone (by the way, invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born
in Edinburgh) and answer it.).
Слайд№7(This is your friend who wants you to keep him company and go for
a walk, but it is raining outside. No problem: you put on your raincoat
invented by chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow and are ready to leave the house.)
Слайд№8(But your mother asks you to send a letter to your favourite
auntie. So you put an adhesive stamp on it, invented by John Chalmers,
bookseller and printer of Dundee.)
Слайд№9(Be careful not to get pneumonia in such weather or you will have
to take injections of penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of
Darvel, Scotland.)
Слайд№10,11,12,13(Well, in the evening, after a walk, you
are eager to sit in a comfortable armchair with a cup of hot coffee and read an
adventurous novel by Sir Walter Scott from Edinburgh or maybe Treasure Island
by Robert Louis Stevenson or The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, born in Edinburgh or maybe a book of poems by Robert Burns.)
