1. Работа с текстом “British Character”.

As you know, the main English-speaking country is Great Britain. I want you to read the text about British character. Read the text to yourself and do one of the exercises that follow. Ex. 1 is for the first level. Ex. 2 is for the second one. Choose only one exercise.

BRITISH CHARACTER

The British are said to be polite and well-mannered people. Polite words or phrases such as “Please”, “Thank you”, “Excuse me” or “Sorry” are used very often in Britain.

The British people are reserved. They don’t like displaying their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situations. But they are not unemotional. They control their emotions because they are taught that it is best not to show their feelings. The English hardly ever lie, but they don’t tell you the truth either.

Englishmen tend to be rather conservative, they love familiar things. They are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. Britain has more living symbols of its past than many other countries. Traditional uniforms are still preserved in Great Britain.

Every Englishman is said to be a countryman at heart. The English countryside is many things to many people. It means peace and quiet, beauty, good health and no crime. Most Englishmen love gardens.Gardening is one of the most popular hobbies among Englishmen. They usually prefer a house with a garden to an apartment in a modern block of flats.

The British people are considered to be the world’s greatest tea drinkers. They drink it at meals and between meals. The English tea is usually strong and with milk.

The British love animals very much. Millions of families have “bird-tables” in their gardens. The English take good care of their pets. They are pet lovers.

1. Диалоги о Канаде и Австралии.

After the USA we are going to other English-speaking countries. Listen to your classmates and try to understand what places they are talking about.

Примерные диалоги:

1. - Hello! How are you?

-  Hello! I’m fine, thanks. And you?

- I am fine too. I’ve heard our English teacher is going to Canada next summer. Would you like to visit this country?

- Sure. I think it is an interesting country. I have read a lot about Canada and I would like to see wonderful waterfalls, beautiful lakes and mountains.

- Yes, Canada is full of contrasts with polar bears and blooming gardens, igloos and skyscrapers. My dream is to see the whales that live there.

- Oh they are really fantastic. As for me I think it would be interesting to visit Canadian national parks and Niagara Fall.

- Yes, there is a lot to see in Canada. I mean the biggest cities – Montreal and Toronto.  They are beautiful.

- Toronto is the home of “The Maple Leafs”, a famous hockey team. I would like to go to a hockey match in Toronto.

- I hope all your dreams will come true. Good luck

2. - Hello, Alina!

-  Hello, Andrey! How are you?

- I’m fine, thanks. And you?

- I am fine too. You see, I have to make a report on big Australian cities. Can you help me?

- Yes, I have. And I was impressed by the Sydney Opera House, the most unusual building in the world. It stands on the water.

- Yes, it really looks beautiful. And you can write about another Australian city- Melbourne. It is famous for its zoo. Many animals live there.

- You are welcome.

Now look at the slides again and answer my questions:

1. What country would they like to visit?

2. What is interesting to see in Canada?

3. What cities can you visit in Australia?

4. Which is the most unusual building in the world?
