“Welcome to English-speaking countries”
Підготувала : Недобійчук І.П.
Welcome to English-speaking countries
What is this life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
Student 1. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
You are welcome to make a trip.
Student 2. We often get tired of the same surroundings and daily routine. That’s why the best place of relaxation is the one where you have never been before. Seeing exotic places, faraway countries, getting acquainted with history, culture and traditions of different lands – what could be more interesting.
Student 1. Once Augustine said: “The world is a book and those who do not travel- read only a page”. So today we are going to open many pages of this book and make a trip to English-speaking countries.
Student 2. English language is the key which opens the door to the world. Today we will travel to a country with beautiful old traditions – the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to the beautiful landscape of the USA, to attractive lakes of Canada, to endless deserts of Australia, to the country of long white clouds- New Zealand , countries where people mostly speak English. Our guides –the students of the 10th and 11th forms- will tell you some information about these countries.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The official name of this country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it is usually known by a shorter name – “The United Kingdom”.
The United Kingdom of G.B. and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consists of two large islands, G.B. and Ireland, and about five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 244,000 square kilometers.
The UK is made up of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. GB consists of England, Scotland and Wales and doesn't include Northern Ireland. The capital of the UK is London.
The British Isles are separated from European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of GB is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea.
The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands, while the south with its beautiful valleys and plains is called the Lowlands.
The United Kingdom of G.B. and Northern Ireland is a parliamentary monarchy. It means that there is a queen but she doesn’t rule. Nowadays Elizabeth II is the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

( сонет Шекспіра)
Shall I compare the to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as man can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Thank you for your attention !!!

My heart in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart in the highlands, a-chasing a deer;
a-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe –
my heart in the Highlands wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birthplace of valour, the country of worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe –
My heart in the Highlands wherever I go.

(вірш “The Arrow and the song”)
I short an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroken;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
