Teacher: Well done! And now lets read the first paragraph of the article and check that everyone understands what you have to do. You can referring to the Glossary if necessary. Please, work in pairs and complete exercise 2.

Telling fact from fiction

A couple of years ago, a UK television station asked 3,000 young people a series of questions about famous factual and fictional people. They wanted to discover if people knew which of the people really existed. Here are descriptions of three of the people. How many of the names do you know and which of them do you think are real people?

The opening film at 63rd Cannes Film Festival is Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. The film is based on the story of Robin Hood, the famous outlaw who is still a national hero in England because he ‘stole from the rich to give to the poor’. One of the first references to Robin Hood is in the 14th-century poem Piers Plowman. According to later ballads, Robin lived in Sherwood Forest with his band of merry men: Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, Much the Miller's Son, and Alan a Dale. Robin's greatest enemy was the Sheriff of Nottingham and the city of Nottingham is expecting an increase in tourism after the new film is released. Maybe some of the tourists will be arriving at Robin Hood Airport, Britain's newest airport.

Florence Nightingale was named after the city of Florence in Italy where she was born on 12th May 1820. When she was 24, she decided to become a nurse. It was during the Crimean War (1853–1856) that she became known as ‘The Lady with the Lamp’ when The Times newspaper described how she visited the injured soldiers at night, carrying a lamp. In 1860 she started one of the very first nursing schools at St Thomas's Hospital in London. Her work is still remembered today and International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday.

Our third famous person is Sherlock Holmes, who has also been the subject of a recent film. The world's favourite detective was famous for his powers of observation and logical reasoning. In fact his work is still a source of inspiration for forensic scientists. Born in or around 1854, Holmes studied at Cambridge University. From 1881 he ran a private detective agency from his flat at 221B Baker Street, London. He usually worked with his good friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson. He's famous for saying ‘Elementary, my dear Watson.’ although he never used those exact words. If you go to Baker Street in London today you’ll find a plaque showing the place where Sherlock Holmes lived.

Students read the text and do exercise 2.

Exercise 2

After reading the article, do you think these people are real or fictional?

1 ___ Robin Hood

2 ___ Florence Nightingale

3 ___ Sherlock Holmes

Teacher: Look at exercise 3 and try to match the different names to the three people without looking back at the article. Then write sentences, explaining the relevance of each name. Please, do as many sentences as you can without looking back at the article. Compare your answers with another pair.

Exercise 3 Match the names with the people and then explain what they refer to. Baker Street             Cambridge                  Crimea                                            Dr. John H. Watson                Nottingham             Piers Plowman        Sherwood Forest                St Thomas's The Times

1.Robin Hood___________________________________________________

2. Florence Nightingale___________________________________________

3. Sherlock Holmes______________________________________________

Teacher: Very good and now do the next exercise in which you answer questions about the article.

Exercise 4

Answer the questions.

1 Robin Hood was a criminal. Why do you think he's considered to be a hero?

2 Why will more tourists probably visit Nottingham this year?

 3 Where does Florence Nightingale's first name come from?

4 When is International Nurses Day?

 5 Approximately how old was Sherlock Holmes when he started his detective agency?

 6 If he never said ‘Elementary, my dear Watson’, why do you think people associate the expression with him?

Students answer and discuss the questions

Teacher: I want to remind you about the survey mentioned at the start of the article. Now you read some of the results from the survey and write the percentage numbers in the summary, using the written text Check answers. (10 хв)

Exercise 5 Read the results of the survey mentioned in the article and complete it with the numbers: 27          51        58         65

According to UKTV, the TV station that carried out the survey, King Arthur is the fictional figure that the most people in Britain (a _____ %) believe existed. Half of those surveyed (b _____ %) believed that Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest during the 14th century. Over a quarter (c _____ %) thought Florence Nightingale was fictional, and more than half (d _____ %) believed that Sherlock Holmes lived and worked at 221B Baker Street, London. The fictional character was in fact created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 1880s, and the address doesn’t exist.

Teacher: Well are you surprised by the survey results? Lets together discuss how the findings of the survey compare with the your results. We  check the board to find out how many students thought King Arthur was a real person. How do the figures compare with the survey results? Lets do the same with the three names from the article.

Exercise 6  Compare the results from the survey with their own results.

Students give answers

 

Teacher: I ask you to choose one of the names from exercise 1, or the name of another real or fictional person from the past. If you know about the person write a short description of the person's life. Alternatively, it can be the task for homework and I ask you to do some research on the Internet.
