T: - Now, let’s together answer the question’’ Why do we travel?’’

2. Video about transport in London.

Teacher:  And now you will see a short film about transport and then I’ll ask you some questions.

__________________________________________________________________

1) How do people usually travel from place to place? Name, please.

2) What is the most famous bus in the world?

3) Do you pay attention what colour is double-decker?

4) What means of transport  in London do you like most of all? Why?

Teacher: You see that double-decker, underground and taxi are the most popular means of transport in London. So we can divide into 3 groups:

• the first group is “DOUBLE-DECKER”;
• the second group is “UNDERGROUND”;
• the third group is “TAXI”.

You will work in groups. For right answers I’ll take you stickers.

And now each group will present some information.

1 GROUP

“DOUBLE-DECKER BUS”

   If you are on holiday in London, travel by bus. London buses are called double-deckers. It is a bus that has two levels.

   Double-decker is a symbol of London. You can take a special open-top tourist bus when the weather is good.

   Double-decker bus has a driver and a conductor.

   Look  at the sign on the front, on the side or on the back of the bus to know where the bus is going. Read a notice-board at the bus-stop to know the places on the bus route.

   When you get on the bus, you say where you want to go and conductor tells you how much to pay and he gives you a ticket.

2 GROUP

“THE UNDERGROUND”

   You can get the most places in London very quickly by the underground.

   The London  Underground was the first city underground in the world.

   There are more 280 stations and many lines. All the lines are of a different colour on the map.

   So the first subway system began operating on the 10^th of January 1863.

   During the war, the Underground was used as a bomb shelter.

   Around 19000 people work at the London Underground.

   Almost 60% of the London Tube  is actually above the ground and not underground.

   Mice and rats live in the train tunnels, feeding on the rubbish they pick up. You can see them along the tracks.

3 GROUP

“LONDON TAXI”

   If you are in a hurry, the fastest way of travelling is by taxi.

   Do you know what a London taxi looks like? Their special shape and black colour are famous all over the world.

   The black cabs as they are called have become the symbol of London. Now there are cabs in different colours – red, yellow, green.

   Taxi drivers in London have a reputation for being the best taxi drivers in the world. They have passed “the Knowledge”, which means they have studied and memorized 25000 London streets. These studies take about 2-4 years.

   London drivers have green badges on their jackets.

   And, of course, they know London perfectly.

3. Physical activity.

Teacher:  Stand up, please, and sing the song.

4. Listening Comprehension.

Teacher:  I’ll read you a joke about two drivers in London/ Listen, please, attentively.

Opposite each other

Many people like to spend part of their holiday travelling by car. Usually they choose to go to interesting places they have not been to before. If the weather is fine, they have a very pleasant holiday.

It is certainly very important for car-drivers to know all the rules of the road. But sometimes they forget about the rules and something may happen.

That’s why there are a lot of anecdotes about people driving cars. Here is a joke about two of them.

Two car-drivers met in a very narrow street in London. Neither of them wanted to go back with his car. The first took out a newspaper and began to read it. In an hour the second driver asked politely, “When you finish reading, won’t you give the paper to me?”

As you see, this story has a happy end, but for those who forget the rules of the road the end may be quite different.

Teacher:  The first  group answer the questions. (two stickers for correct answer)

1. When do people have a very pleasant holiday?
2. What is very important for car drivers?

Taking people from place to place.  (A bus)

 

Houses run upon these rails

Over hills and over dales. (A railway and a train)
