The Australia continent and the nearby island of Tasmania, form the sixth largest country on earth, with a total area of 7,686,850 sq km.

3. Tell us about the discovering of Australia, the flag and the emblem.

1) Aborigines

The Aborigines are the Australian natives that had been living there for thousands of years before the first Europeans came to Australia in the 1600s.

2) Captain James Cook discovered Australia in 1770. He was sent to discover the huge land that many people believed was south of the equator. He landed south of present day Sydney in New South Wales. He claimed this part of the land for the King of England

3) Australia's coat of arms – the official emblem of the Australian Government – was granted by George V in 1912. The arms consist of a shield containing the badges of the six states. The supporters are native Australian fauna – a kangaroo and an emu. A yellow-flowered native plant, wattle, also appears in the design.

4) The Australian National Flag

The flag of Australia is the only one to fly over a whole continent. The small Union Jack represents the historical link with Britain, the large seven-pointed star represents the six States and Territories, and the small stars from the Southern Cross – a prominent feature of the southern hemisphere night sky.

Sit down at three tables. Every table has its own task.

4. We repeated the common information about Australia and now imagine, please, that you have arrived Australia. What of the first conversation can you imagine? Make up the dialogues based on this theme.

Between Australian and interpreter

- Hello, I am from Australia. In Ukraine I am invited to read some lectures for the pupils of Zarechnoye school-educational complex.

- Hi! Great! The pupils of our complex wait for you. I am your interpreter and shall translate you. Well, let’s start!

- Let’s start!

It is the world’s largest island and its smallest continent.

Австралия – самый большой остров и самый маленький континент.

Much of the land is a useless desert.

Большая часть страны – пустыня.

Australia has been called “the land of differences” and “the continent of contrasts”. There are many ways in which it is different from other countries. The first thing most people think of are the strange native animals

Австралию называют страной различий и контрастов.

The kangaroo, the koala, the dingo or wild dog are not found in any other country of the world.

The native birds of Australia are very interesting. The emu can not fly but it’s a good runner.

The seasons are the other way round in Australia

- Australia is sometimes called the Land Down Under.

- New Year is in the middle of summer, the middle of winter is in June, and the

winter months are never cold.

Between two pupils

– Nave you had a nice evening?

- Yes, I’ve been watching a documentary film on TV.

- Really? What was it about?

- About the largest island in the world.

- The largest island? Do you mean Australia?

- I do. Though I’m sure that Australia is the biggest islands I know that many people think it’s a continent.

- Yes, it’s the smallest continent on the earth.

- And it is an independent country too.

- I know that. What is its capital? Sydney?

- No. It’s Canberra but Sydney is the largest city in the country.

- Is English the official language?

- Yes, it is, though it is a bit different from the language they speak in the USA and Britain.

Between the tourist and visitor

- Can I help you?

- Oh, please. Could you hold my bag while I’m taking this picture?

- Certainly. It’s not at all heavy.

- OK. I’ve done it. Thanks for your help. Sydney looks great in this light. Thank you again.

- You’re welcome.

- Wonderful. That’s very kind of you.

- Are you from Sydney?

- No, I’m from Ukraine.

- Ukraine? When did you come here?

- Two weeks ago. I’ve been here since the second November.

- Your English is very good.

- Thanks. I am learning English at school. I hope that after my stay in Australia I’ll speak

English better.

- Do you find it difficult to understand Australian English?

- Quite. The accent is a little bit unusual. Though I understand nearly everything. And you?

Do you live here?

- No, I live in Canberra; I’m here to visit my granny.

Between guide, husband and wife

- Hello. My wife and I would like to have our vacation in Australia. Advice us please where can we rest?

- Oh, I offer you to visit Canberra, the capital of Australia.

- Oh, darling! Let’s go there!

- No, it’s very expensive.

- OK! I offer you to go to Melbourne. It’s most livable city.

- No, no I don’t want.

- Well, OK! Perhaps you would like to go to Brisbane. It is a year-round vocation place.

- My lovely, let’s rest there.

- No, my darling, I’d like to go to the sea.

- Oh, great! That’s why you must go to Adelaide to lie in the sun and to swim in the ocean.

- OK, we’ll take it.

- No, I don’t want to lie in the sun. What will be with my skin?

- Any problems! You can spend your vacation in Perth. There is one of the best climates in Australia.

- …I don’t know.

- Well, that’s why we shall go to Hobart. The climate there is just for you and for your skin.

- But winters are very cold there.

- Oh, no!!!

- Oh, yes!!!

5. Just in every dialogue you said us about Australian English. What peculiarities can you name?

- Australian English differs from ordinary British English both in: vocabulary and pronunciation. For example:

6. I think that the guests of our lesson would like to go to Australia too. What can you offer them at the first? You had to prepare this information at home. Make up the advertisement.

1) Reading:

The First people in Australia were Aborigines. They arrived there about 12,000 years before from southern Asia. They had very rich forms of art, painting, song, poetry and mythology. The lives of aborigines stayed almost the same for thousands of years until the Europeans came to live in Australia in 1778.

In 1770 J. Cook landed in eastern Australia and declared that it belonged to Britain. In 1778, the British government began sending the first prisoners to Australia. Overtime many people arrived from Britain and Europe. Life was difficult. There was very little water and the climate was very hard.

The Europeans suffered a lot in Australia but the Aborigines suffered a lot more. Europeans stole their land and killed thousand of Aborigines. They also brought new diseases with them. In parts of Australia, not one Aborigine survived. Today aborigines continue to live in Australia but there culture in under threat. In 1770, there were about 300,000 Aborigines. Now, there are 120,000. It is becoming harder and harder for them to continue their traditional way to live.

Today Australia is a modern, industrial country, independent from Britain since 1931. The Commonwealth of Australia consists of 6 states and two provinces. It is the world’s biggest producer of wool, bauxite and important producer of wheat, meat, sugar and fruit.

2) What do these numbers and dates refer to?

For example:

12,000 years ago: first people arrived in Australia

120,000 1770 300.000 7,700,000

20,000,000 1778 6 1931

3) You know, of course, that Australia is an island continent, which was separated from the mainland long ago. And that’s why there are a lot of interesting animals in Australia. Have a look at the grid. The names of some Australian animals are hidden here. You should find them. You may search for the words in different directions. You can find the names of six animals here.
