урока:
Перед началом экскурсии
для того, чтобы вовлечь ребят в ситуацию, мы предлагаем ответить на вопросы о
стране изучаемого языка и ее столице:
1) The UK is an Island State,
isn't it? Where is it situated?
2) What channel separates the
British Isles from the European continent?
3) What are the most important
rivers of the UK?
4) How many countries does the UK
consist of? Name them.
5) What are their capitals?
6) Is London the largest city in
the world?
7) What is the population of
London?
8) What is the population of the
UK?
9) Traditionally London is divided
into several parts. Can you name them?
10) What are London's most famous
museums and art galleries?
За правильный ответ
экскурсанту дается билет и он занимает место в "автобусе".
После того, как все
места будут заняты, "кондуктор" проверяет наличие билетов.
Роль "кондуктора" исполняет учитель,
так как "проверка" билетов проводится в форме фонетической зарядки.
Каждый учащийся по очереди читает в транскрипции географические названия и
собственные имена:
Trafalgar Square National
Gallery Whitehall The Thames Elizabeth II St. James's Park Albert
Memorial Regent's Park Marble Arc St. Paul's Cathedral Whispering
Gallery William the Conqueror
France National Portrait
Gallery 10, Downing Street Buckingham Palace
Hyde Park Kensington Gardens Queen
Victoria Rotten Row Piccadilly Circus Sir Christopher Wren The
Tower of London
Затем группа отправляется
на экскурсию с гидом.
После "осмотра"
каждой достопримечательности ребятам дается время для того, чтобы
сориентироваться по карте и отметить маршрут. Для заполнения пауз может быть
использована музыка. После посещения резиденции премьер-министра остановки
будут более продолжительными - учащимся предлагаются
задания для контроля понимания материала.
Guide: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our
round London sightseeing tour. London is situated in the south-east of England
on the River Thames, where the Romans landed nearly 2000 years ago. It is 46
kilometres from the north to the south and 58 kilometres from the east to the
west. London is one of the most famous capital cities of the world and every
year it attracts crowds of visitors from home and abroad. This city has got a
population of about 7 million people. That is 13% of Britain's population.
London really consists of 3 cities: the City of London, the City of Westminster, and the
City of Southwark. The City is the heart of London, its commercial and
business
district. The area of the City is about a square mile. The
"City" doesn't refer to the whole of central London but rather to a
small area east of the centre, including the site of the original Roman town.
The City of London is one of the major banking centres of the world and one can find the
banks of many nations. Here can also be found the Bank of England, the Stock
Exchange, and Lloyds, the most famous insurance company in the world. Only 5000
people live in the City, but more than a million come here to work.
We Are in Trafalgar Square
It was so named in memory of the victory in the
battle of Trafalgar, where on October, 21, 1805 the English fleet under
Admiral Nelson's command
defeated the combined fleet of France and Spain. The victory was won at the
cost of Nelson's life.
In the middle you can see Nelson's monument - a tall column
with the figure of Nelson on its top. The column is 170 feet (about 52m) tall
and the statue is 17 feet (more than 5m) in height. The column is guarded by 4
bronze lions. To the north-east of Trafalgar Square there is a building that houses the National Gallery of Art and
behind it is the National Portrait Gallery. Quite often the square becomes a
location for public meetings. So it can be said that Trafalgar square is the
heart from which the beat is emitted to all Londoners. There are many pigeons
in the square and Londoners like to feed them.
Now we are driving down
Whitehall. On the right you can see a severe-looking house known as 10, Downing
Street. It's
our first
stop.
Policeman: You shouldn't be noisy, as
this is the Prime Minister's residence.
1.) By the way, do you know who
is now the Prime Minister?
This building is 200 years
old. But its interior has been : brought up-to-date. It has got electric
lights, central heating, and several bathrooms. But at the same time it's
where the Cabinet meets.
From here you can see the
Houses of Parliament, the home of the British government.
2) Do you know what river the
Houses of Parliament face? (The Thames)
3) How many Houses does the Parliament consist of? (It consists of two Houses: the
House of Commons and the House of Lords).
The House of Commons sits to the side of the Clock Tower and the House of Lords -
to the Victoria Tower side. Here there is the historical Woolsack, where the
Lord Chancellor takes his place to preside over the sittings. At the end of
the House
of Commons is the Speaker's Chair, on the right side of which the members of
the parliamentary major-sit. The members of the groups that form the Opposition
on the left, directly facing the Government benches.
4) Is Big Ben the name of the
clock, the Tower or the bell? (Big Ben is the name of
the bell only - not the clock, and not the tower. The
bell is 7 foot 6 inches high, and 9 foot 6 inches across the
mouth. It weights 13.5 tons).
Guide: Ladies and
gentlemen, in front of you is Buckingham Palace. You have a good chance to meet
the Queen.
The Queen: Good
afternoon! I'm the Queen of England, Elizabeth the Second. I live in this
famous palace, first built in 1703, which is situated in the centre of the
city. It's the London home of the kings and queens of this country. As a matter
of fact it serves two functions, not one. It's a family home, where my
grandchildren play and grow up. It's also the place where presidents, kings and
politicians come to meet me. Buckingham Palace is like a small town with a
police station, two post offices, a bar, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema
and a swimming pool. There are 600 rooms and 3 miles of red carpet. Two men
work full-time to look after 300 clocks. About 700 people work in my house.
Every day at Buckingham Palace
there's a famous ceremony the Changing of the Guard, at 11 a.m. Every day a
new guard of 30 guardsmen marches to the Palace and takes the place of the old
guard. A large crowd of people gather to see this famous and traditional
ceremony.
Task 1: Say what things/dates/facts these
numbers refer to ?1
a. 1703 d. 3 g.

b. 30 e.

c. 2 f. 700
Guide: Say
good-bye to the Queen. Ladies and gentlemen, breathe deeply. This is Hyde Park
and you know our parks are called the lungs of London.
Painter: Hello. You
are lucky to be in Hyde Park or the Park, as we Londoners call it. The best
thing about London is the parks. There are 5 beautiful ones in the city
centre.
Let's start with St. James's Park,
near Buckingham4 Palace. It's London's oldest. It belonged to Henry
VIII - the King who had six wives. In the park you can feed the swans, geese,
ducks and other water birds. The park which is connected with Hyde is called
Kensington Gardens. There is the Albert Memorial, which Queen Victoria built
in memory of her husband. One of the best times to visit London's parks is in
spring. At this time of the year, Regent's Park is a beautiful place of
blossoms and flowers. It's perhaps London's most elegant park, with its
attractive gardens and lakes. You can visit the Zoo. There are animals from all
the continents, about 6000 in all. But the Zoo's most popular residents are the
pandas. Hyde Park was originally a royal hunting
forest. You can walk along its shady avenues, sit on the grass admiring its
beautiful flower-beds, or watch birds. It seems almost unbelievable that all
around, there is a large city with its heavy traffic and exhaust. Another
attraction of Hyde Park is the horse-riding lane known as Rotten Row, which is
a mile and a half long. Near Marble Arch is Speaker's Corner where everyone can
go and air their views to anyone who will listen.
