PROCEDURE

 

I. Introduction

 

20. Good morning! Nice to see you! I hope you are in good mood. Please, don’t worry at the lesson today. I’m sure our guests are here to encourage you and enjoy our company. Today we have an unusual lesson. It will be a lesson – excursion. The theme of our lesson is “London Sightseeing Tour”. We are going to revise the vocabulary and structures related to the topic, to generalize and broaden our knowledge about Great Britain, about its capital London and its beautiful sights and develop listening, reading writing and speaking skills.

 

II. Warming-up

20. It goes without saying that all people like travelling. Many people like travelling to English-speaking countries.

•          Why are some countries called English-speaking?
•          What English-speaking countries do you know?
•          Why do people like travelling to English-speaking countries?

      Before our starting to London let’s find out if London is worth visiting. I’d like to draw your attention to some words, said about London.

 

 

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life,

for there is in London all that life can afford”

Samuel Johnson

 

 

“I hope to see London before I die”

W. Shakespeare. Henry IV

 

 

 

 

 

III.  Main Part

1. Practicing Pronunciation

T.  To make it easier for Londoners to understand us let’s practise our pronunciation. Look at the screen, read and pronounce correctly the proper names for the topic of our lesson. Repeat after me all together:

BUCKINGHAM PALACE

WESTMINSTER ABBEY

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT

TRAFALGAR   SQUARE

BRITISH MUSEUM

ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL

PICCADILLY CIRCUS

THE TOWER OF LONDON

HYDE  PARK

REGENT’S PARK

MADAM TUSSAUD’S MUSEUM

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR

SIR  CHRISTOPHER  WREN

 

 

 

2. “Brain-ring”

T. To my mind we can’t go anywhere if we know nothing about the place. We’ll be invited to the UK if we know British geography, history, culture and traditions well. Do all your best to have a wonderful trip. I’ll try to refresh your knowledge about the United Kingdom in order to win an invitation to London.

  Now, we’ll play the game “Brain-ring”. Please, answer the questions, count the points and write them down in your sheets of paper. As usual, if you give the correct answer you put “plus”, if you are wrong, put “minus”. At the end of our lesson we’ll count your points and find out what marks you’ll get for today’s lesson.

 

1. What is the official name of the country, which language we are learning?
2. What parts does the UK consist of?
3. What’s the capital of the UK?

3. Listening

T.  Be so kind to imagine that we are on the board of a modern airplane. While we are on our way to London, I’d like you to learn some facts from the history of London.

 

Pre-listening

  Please, have a look at some new words, which can be difficult for you to understand.

In front of you  can see sheets of paper with after-listening tasks. These tasks consist of two parts. As usual, I’ll read for you twice. After my first reading you’ll do the first part of your tasks. After my second reading you’ll do the second part of your tasks.

 

 

• Caesar – Цезарь
• To conquer – завоевывать
• Plague – чума
• Clear away – освободиться
• Settlement – поселение

 

 While – listening

 

20.   London, the capital of Great Britain is one  of the oldest and largest cities in the world. They say London is two thousand years old

  To the small settlement in the year 55 B.C. Caesar came from Rome. “Llyndin” that means “a lonely place” became Londinium. The Romans made Londinium the large and rich city with good streets, beautiful palaces, shops and villas. But in the fifth century  the Romans left Britain.

   The Saxons and Danes conquered the land and ruined the city. Londinium lay in ruins for a long time. In the 9^th century the Saxon king rebuilt the city.

   For a long period of time London was a rich and crowed city, but in 1666 the Plague fell upon London. It came from one of the shops which came to the city every day. The houses of sick had a red cross painted on the door. In 1666 the Great Fire destroyed 3000 houses and 97 churches in London. But the Fire cleared away the old dirty wooden houses. A new London – of stone – was built.
