Teacher: Good morning boys and girls. Glad to see you. How are you today? Fine. Now I see you are ready to start working.

All of you look at the blackboard and read this statement, and try to guess the theme of the lesson

The world is a great book, of which they who never stir from home read only a page.
(Augustine, St.)

Yes, you are right. Today we are going to talk about travelling and travelling problems. It will be the subject of today’s discussion.

We should revise the material on the topic and discuss all the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of travelling. After that we’ll make a list of the pros and cons for tourists visiting Kazakhstan. Six thinking hats method will help us to look at the problem from different points of view.

Teacher: By the way, do you like travelling?

Teacher: OK. Let’s take the word “travelling” and create 5 associations to this word. Write them down. Work in groups, please.

Ready? Now, read your associations, please.

Group 1: … Group 2: … …

Teacher: I see you have different associations to this word, because you have different experience of travelling.

But why do people travel? Look at this scheme and try to complete it.

Two reasons are given to you.

Very well.

Teacher: You know most people enjoy travelling. Some people travel for pleasure, and some on business, some travel light and some take a lot of luggage on their travels. They choose various means of transportation. As for me I prefer travelling by car, because I don’t like to depend on tickets. (слайд4) And what are your favourite means of transportation ?

Pupils: …

2. A lot of people all over the world are fond of travelling. They travel to see other countries. to enjoy picturesque places. to discover different ways of life or just for a change of scene. People travel on business and for pleasure having at their disposal various means of transport. So it is impossible to imagine our life without traveling. People can express their emotions in different ways. Some of them draw pictures of their favourite places. others write poems. I have found a very nice poem for you. Let’s read it with a bit of feeling and think of your own emotions and associations.

What is travelling for?

What is travelling for me?
It is the shining sun. the sea;
The golden sand which look like beads;
The blue-eyed sky and tender breeze.
What do I see when close my eyes?
A milk-white ship with two red strips;
The limpid clouds at the dawn
And sun. that rises all alone…
And when the twilight falls from height.
The night appears from heaven’s gate.
I see the moon in magic light.
And stars. that sparkle at the night.
That’s what I’m looking for in dreams.
And they are my inspiring beams!
I want to see it. to behold
And travel all over the world!

Teacher: The poem makes really great impression. It is very beautiful and full of emotions. I think you agree with me.

Fist of all I want to make sure you don’t forget the words on the topic “Travelling”

1) types of holiday;

2) places where people stay on holiday;

3) places people visit on holiday;

4) things people do on holiday;

Now it’s time to sum up. What do you think about travelling? What association do you have?

Let’s make up cinquains about travelling. Do you remember what is it? It is a kind of poem consisting of 5 lines (a general word. two adjectives on the topic. three verbs. the main idea of your “poem” (it must consist of 3-4 words) and a synonym of the general word.

If you could, you would always have a backpack, ready to leave for an adventurous journey. Holidays, for you, mean looking for adventure without organizing or planning before. You are enthusiastic and curious. You’d rather go to an unknown, undiscovered place than go back to a place you know well. It’s your curiosity that helps you to overcome every obstacle.

You score: 3 points if you tick a, 2 points if you tick b, 1 point if you tick c.

Less than 25 points — Peaceful

You are a calm type. For you, an ideal holiday is sitting under a beach umbrella or relaxing under a tree in the silence of the countryside. Adventure activities don’t attract you. You like to meditate for some time before acting logically. Holidays, for you, should be a way to do sports and exercises and to meet new people.

From 25 to 42 points — Imaginative

You have a good dose of adventurous spirit and a good deal of courage, but you don’t like to get into trouble. You are quite enthusiastic about inventing hundreds of adventurous ideas. You should leave your school books and worries behind and use your imaginative quality to make new friends and to enjoy yourself.
