(Учні відповідають)

Let’s look at the board and learn the poem about travelling:

One road leads to London,

One road runs to Wales,

My road leads me seawards

To the white dipping sails.

One road leads to the river

As it goes singing slow,

My road leads to shipping

Where the bronzed sailors go.

My road calls me, lures me

West, east, south and north.

Most roads lead men homewards,

My road leads me forth.
