Реор1е say, ghosts of men and women who died in the Tower still walk here at night There are many buildings here, but the most important is the white TOWER.It is the oldest.

Queen Elizabeth I, scientists  Newton, Darvin; writers  Burns, Dickens, Shakespeare and many famous people are buried here.

S3: Where do people like to spend their free time in London?

G3: Trafalgar Square is the heart London. It is the place where tourists

usually start their trip. In the centre of Trafalgar Square there is the column

with the statue of Lord Nelson. The fountains and friendly pigeons make Trafalgar Square popular for Londoners and tourists. It is the place for political demonstrations and public meetings. At Christmas singers gather here round a Christmas tree which is sent to Britain from Norway every year.

S4: What is the official home of the Queen?

G4: Buckingham Palace is the most famous British royal home. When the Queen is at home the national flag on the top of the palace is flying. A very popular British tradition is connected with Buckingham Palace. It is changing of the guard. The ceremony is very colourful. There is always music during it.

III Round

 

T: I ‘d like you to speak on  two topics: «British weather» and « National stereotypes of the British» l give you  a minute for preparation.(Pupils represent their project works)

a) We know that  Great Britain is called “Foggy Albion.“ It may come from Latin word “albus”. meaning “white". We see fog in winter and in autumn very often. When two Englishmen meet they often talk about the weather. You may hear very often: “It rains all the time. It is very damp. There is a

terrible fog in London“.

“Other countries have climate, in England we have weather". It will be very interesting, for you to know that Britain has more than 200 rainy days a year. The English say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon, and when it rains all day long. Sometimes the rain is very heavy and people say: “It‘s raining cats

and dogs”. The climate in Great Britain is generally mild. It is never very hot in summer and never very cold in winter.

b) British people don’t allow the straight forward expressions of what

they think and feel. A conversation in English is full of hints, halftones

and half-statements.

British people don’t particularly like to interfere in other people‘s affairs. They have а cult of privacy. In a conversation they mostly avoid direct questions and strong dogmatic ones .

The British are extremely reserved people. They are industrious,

polite, tradition—loving, honest, nationalistic. The British is also a nation

of animal-lovers. They have a specific sense of humour. The typical feature of the English is their love for games. They play

football and cricket. But being childish at their games they are very serious in business. Scotsmen are the only nation in Europe where men prefer to wear

skirts not trousers. Men put on skirts, or kilts as they call them, not only to take part in festivals or carnivals. Scottish people like to dance very much. They are very clever and simple. They have a natural sense of humour. Scottish people work hard. They don’t like to spend money on themselves. But they are very generous with their friends and relatives.

 

T:I see, two teams have nice results. You worked well. Thank you.

 

 

IV. Home assignment.

T: You are to read the text at page 41 “English Children” and be ready to retell it and write about the rules at your school.

 

V. Summing— up.

T: Our lesson is coming to its end. I’d like to say that you worked well at the lesson. So, you are hard-working children. Let’s decorate our fir trees with snowflakes. So, we see that both teams worked hard, both of them are the winners. Soon British people will celebrate one of the best holidays — Christmas. Christmas traditions are very rich. People always prepare presents. We can’t change this

tradition and we want to give the members of our commission greeting cards and wish “Merry Christmas and the Happy New Year!” Now let’s sing the song "Jingle Bells."
