Slide 7

3. Teacher’s Report

T: As for me, to travel means to live. As Dalai Lama said, “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before”. And I try to follow this advise. Another quotation on the Slide says, “Travelling leaves you speechless, then turns you in a storyteller”. Try to explain or translate this opinion.  (Путешествие делает тебя безмолвным, а потом превращает в рассказчика). Well, and now I’m going to tell you about world wonders I’ve seen.

Slide 8

To begin with, I’d like to draw your attention to the ancient wonders. The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest one in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The Museum of Cairo is home to a collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items.  

Slide 9

Another Egyptian wonder is Luxor. Luxor is frequently characterized as the "world's greatest open-air museum", where tourists can see the ruins of the temple complexes. By the way, at the top picture you can see one of the twin obelisks of Luxor. The second one is now standing at the centre of the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

 Slide 10

Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. It is believed that Petra was established in the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The first European to describe it was Swiss traveller Johann Ludwig Burckhardt during his travels in 1812. You may have seen shots of Petra because the site appeared in films such as: Indiana Jones, Arabian Nights,  Mortal Kombat, Transformers.

Slide 11

Next, I’ll draw your attention to the wonders of medieval architecture. And castles represent it greatly. One of them is the Wawel Royal Castle which is located in central Kraków, Poland. It consists of a number of structures situated around the main courtyard. The castle is the largest in Poland. Another example of castle architecture is Český Krumlov. It’s a castle town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Slide 12

It shouldn’t go without mention different historical and religious objects. On the Slide there are some of the most well-known. Three of them are located in Jerusalem which is believed to be the heart of three world religions. They’re the Church of Resurrection (Christianity), Al-Aqsa Mosque (Islam) and Wailing Wall (Judaism). And at the bottom of the Slide famous Notre-Dam de Paris is presented.

Slide 13

And to finish my report I’d like to mention some wonders of modern architecture. First, the Pompidou Centre is a complex building in Paris which was designed in the style of high-tech architecture. It is famous for its communications which are located outside the building. And, finally, Azrieli Center. It’s a complex of three skyscrapers. They’re well-known for the unusual form. One of  them is triangular, the second is rectangular, and the third is round in the section.
