P1: (Trafalgar Square) Now you can see the geographical center of London - Trafalgar Square. It is also a historical place. In the middle of it there is the famous Nelson Column, which was built in memory of Admiral Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar. P2: (The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben) We are in Westminster now. It is the most important part of London. Here you see the Houses of Parliament. It is the group of buildings, where the House of Lords (палата Лордов) and the House of Commons (палата Общин) sit. It has two towers: The Clock Tower with Big Ben– the bell that strikes the hours inside the great clock of the Houses of Parliament, and the second Tower–the Victoria Tower with the national flag over it. P3: (Westminster Abbey) Opposite the Houses of Parliament is Westminster Abbey, it’s a church. The present building was started in 1245. Most British Kings and Queens were crowned there, and many famous people are buried [berid] there. P4: (Hyde Park) Another interesting sight in the West End is Hyde Park. It is the largest of London parks and is famous for its Speakers’ Corner which attracts a lot of tourists. The West End is full of museums, art galleries, the best theatres, cinemas, expensive clubs and shops. P5: (The British Museum) Another famous place in London is the British Museum, it’s the national museum of Britain, founded in 1753.

It’s an art gallery with its wonderful collection of western paintings in Britain. It was founded in 1824 and houses one of the most important collections of Italian paintings out-side Italy. P7: (The City) Now, we go to the City, which is a small area, but is the business and commercial heart of London. Very few people live in the City. All the main banks and the offices are situated in the City. In the centre of the City there is the Tower of London, it was founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century and was used by him as a fortress and a palace. Later, it was made a prison. At last it was transformed into a tourist attraction, a museum. Now it contains no prisoners, it has the Crown treasures and legends. P8: (St. Paul’s Cathedral) Now you can see the main cathedral in London– it’s the St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was designed in 17th century by Christopher Wren. St. Paul’s Cathedral is the main church of London. It’s so big! Londoners treasure it, because many famous people are buried [berid] there, Lord Nelson, for example. P9: (Piccadilly Circus) Now we are on Piccadilly Circus is the busiest square in central London, known for the figure of Eros in the middle, for its lively nightlife and for its flocks of pigeons. It’s used as a meeting place for rallies. That’s why if you are in Piccadilly Circus you can meet very strange- looking young people wearing all kinds of fancy clothes and speaking different languages. P10: (The Buckingham Palace) And at finish of our tour around London – you can see the most popular and attractive place for the tourists – The Buckingham Palace.

But I think first every tourist must know what kind of people the English are. That’s why I suggest you to listen to the story “The English” by tape. 8. Аудирование рассказа а) Представление незнакомых слов. boastful-хвастливый, vulgar- грубый, easy- going- беспечный, веселый, amiable- любезный, ruthless- безжалостный, to be cautious- быть осторожным. б) Аудирование рассказа в аудиозаписи “The English” Almost every nation has a reputation of some kind. The French are supposed to be gay, and fond of cham-pagne; the Germans – dull, formal, fond of military uniforms, and parades; the Americans – boastful, ener-getic, and vulgar. The English are reputed to be cold, reserved, easy – going, and fond of sports. The English are a nation of stay–at–homes. There is no place like home, they say. The English prefer small houses, built for one family, perhaps with a small garden. The fire is focus of the English home. Other nations go out to cafes or sit round the cocktail bar. For the English it is the open fire and the ceremony of English tea. Even when central heating is installed it is kept so low in the English home that Americans and Russians get chilblains, as the English get nervous head-aches from stuffiness. Foreigners often picture the Englishman dressed in tweeds, smoking a pipe, walking across the open coun-tryside with his dog at his heels. This is the picture of the aristocratic Englishman during his holidays on his country estate. Since most of the open countryside is private there isn’t much left for the others to walk across. The English are considered to be the most amiable people in the world. They can be very ruthless. They have a genius for compromise, but can enforce their idea of compromise on others with surprising effi-ciency. They are generous in small matters but more cautious in big ones. в) Ответить на вопрос: What is the text about? - The text is about: a) The fire that is the focus of English home. b) The picture of the aristocratic family. c) The reputation that the English people have. г) Answer these questions: 1) What are the English reputed to be? a) efficient, fond of parades. b) cold, reserved. c) energetic. 2) What nation is steady, easy- going, and fond of sports? a) the French. b) the Germans. c) the English. 3) What houses do the English prefer? a) small houses, built for one family. b) big houses, built for one family. c) small houses, built for two or more families. 4) What is the focus of the English home? a) the ceremony of English coffee. b) the open fire. c) the ceremony of Indian tea. 5) What is the picture of the aristocratic Englishman? a) dressed in silks, smoking a pipe. b) dressed in tweeds, smoking a pipe. c) dressed in cottons, smoking a pipe. T: Well done. You’ve learned what the English like are. Could you describe the typical Englishman? - Yes, of course. (Ученик описывает “типичного англичанина”). Teacher: That’s quite right! VIII. Подведение итогов урока. Рефлексия. T: OK, now we've returned to Russia, I hope you liked our travel to London. Learning of English proverbs is as important as other things. And at the Russian traditions of coming back home, let's try to remember some of English proverbs, but they are mixed a little. I’d like you to match Russian equivalents to English proverbs:
