Учащиеся предлагают свои варианты ответов на данный вопрос. В ходе беседы постепенно переходим от дилогической речи к полилогу, где стараюсь вовлечь в дискуссию наибольшее число учащихся.

-P1: As for me, I would like to live in the joining together of European countries because there

is strong economy and more over vast territory.

-P2: I wouldn’t like to live in the joining together of European country, because there is no Mother- land and even more Russian people.

-P3: On the one hand I would like to live in the joining together of European country because there are no wars, besides various landscape, but on the other hand there is no own currency and way of life is much more different from ours.

-P4: I’d like to keep our identity and separate currency.

-P5: And I think it’s a wonderful thing that we can link up like this. I like the various European stiles of food and cooking.

-P6: I wouldn’t say I feel European, but I don’t agree with people who think that we are better than other people.

-P7: I suppose, we have a lot to learn. We could pick up a lot of good ideas.

-T: You see, living in the single European state is very great. On the one hand there is no need to make passport and visa for going abroad. Besides you have strong economy, a single European currency, vast territory, mineral recourses. But on the other hand I prefer traveling to Europe. More than that I don’t want to see us all standardized. That’s why no need to have a common international flavor.

And finally, there is no place like home.
