II Вступительное слово учителя

Dear children. Today we have an unusual lesson. We are going to pay a friendly visit to Great Britain and its capital London. As you know, the official name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It consists of 4 countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, the English Channel and Irish Sea. Great Britain is a highly developed industrial country with the population of about 56 mln people. The main branches of British industry are machine - building, ship - building, electronics, metallurgy, textile industry; Agriculture is still one of its most important industries.

London is the capital of Great Britain. It is one of the largest cities in the world. It consists of 4 parts: the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster. There are a lot of sight seeing in London. But before traveling lets listen to the weather - forecast, because the weather in London is often changeable and we must know what things take with us. Turn on your TV set, please and listen to the weather commentator.

Weather commentator (сообщение по TV)

Good morning. Let me introduce myself. I am …(называет имя). I am a weather commentator. I want to inform you about the weather forecast for tomorrow. It’s winter now. Frost is expected at night. But as you know the Atlantic Ocean, influences the climate of Europe, that’s why tomorrow they are expecting a windy day, rain and humidity. Temperature will rise from -4+5С°. I advise you to take your umbrellas and put on rain-coats. Thank you. Good bye.

T: So, we see that according to the weather forecast they are expecting rain. Let’s remind a poem “Rain”.

                                             It was raining (3p) hard.

It was falling on my head.

It was falling on my stars.

                                              It was falling on the sun

  It was falling on my shoes.

                                              I got soaking wet (2p).

But I stayed outside (2p).

                                              The rain was sweet,

                                              The rain was warm

                                              The rain was soft

                                              It reminded me of home.

III Основная часть урока. Начинается путешествие по Великобритании и Лондону. Ребята делятся на 2 группы: делегация из России и англичане. На доске изображения видов Лондона, карта Великобритании. Звучит тихая мелодия песни  Дж. Леннона «Imagine».

P1: Welcome to Great Britain. We are glad to meet a delegation of Russian pupils in our country. First of all I’ll tell you some words about the United Kingdom, its geographical position and then answer all your questions. I’d like to start with a part of Rudyard Kipling’s poem.

The Glory of the Garden

Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,

       Of boders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,

   With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;

                But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye…

      Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made

       By singing:”Oh, how beautiful!” and sitting in the shade,

        While better men than we out and start their working lives

                     At grubbing weeds from gravel-paths with broken dinner-knives…

Do you like this poem? I hope you do because it’s a beautiful description of Motherland.

T: So, United Kingdom is a sovereign island country located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The United Kingdom includes the island of Great Britain and many small isles. The largest island Great Britain is linked to France by the Channel Tunnel. The United Kingdom is governed by a parliamentary system: a seat of government in London and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II, as the head of state. The flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Jack. The national anthem of the United Kingdom is “God Save the King”. Have you questions?

P1: I don’t like your weather. It’s the end of winter, but it’s rather cold. It was raining the whole day yesterday and we got wet to the skin and bones. What can you say about the climate of Gr.Br?

P2: The United K. has a temperature climate with plentiful rainfall all year round. The temperature varies with the seasons but seldom drops below - 10C° or rises above 35C°. The prevailing wind is from the southwest, bearing frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the Atlantic Ocean. Snow fall can occur in winter and early spring. But the weather changes very often. That’s why England people are constantly talking about the weather.

P1: London is one of the largest cities in the world. It’s more than 2 thousand years old.
