You see the geographical map of the country, the flags and symbols of different parts of the UK, the colorful pictures and posters demonstrating some historical places, places of interest.

(Небольшой перерыв давайте послушаем стихотворения Генри  Лонгфелло, команды должны были выучить их наизусть)

The Arrow and the Song I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where For who has sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of a song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow still unbroken; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.	Стрела и песня Из лука ввысь взвилась стрела… Не знаю, где она легла. И мне, глядящему вперед, Невидим был ее полет. И песня в мир моя ушла… Не знаю, где она легла. За тьмой лесов, за цепью гор Не уследил за песней взор. Прошли года. Стрела нашлась… В широкий дуб она впилась.. А песнь, с начала до конца, Моих друзей хранят сердца.
The golden sunset The golden sea its mirror spreads Beneath the golden skies, And but a narrow strip between Of land and shadow lies. The cloud-like rocks, the rocks-like clouds Dissolved in glory float, And midway of the radiant flood, Hangs silently the boat. The sea is but another sky, The sky a sea as well, And which is earth and which is heaven, The eye can scarcely tell!	Золотой закат Сверкает море золотое Под золотом небес, Меж ними узкой полосою Лежит тенистый лес. На облака похожи скалы, На скалы – облака, А между ними лодка встала, Воздушна и легка. И можно с небом спутать море И с морем – небосвод, Как будто отражен во взоре Весь мир наоборот.
Daybreak A wind came up out of the sea, And said, “O mists, make room for me” It hailed the ships and cried, “Sail on, You mariners, the night is gone” And hurried landward far away, Crying, “Awake! It is the day” It said unto the forest, “Shout!” Hang all your leafy banners out! It touched the wood bird’s folded wing, And said, “O bird, awake and sing” And over the farms, “O chanticleer Your clarion blow: the day is near.” It whispered to the fields of corn, “Bow down, and hail the coming morn” It shouted through the belfry tower, Awake, O bell! Proclaim the hour.	Рассвет  Повеял бриз над океаном. «Рассейтесь!» – он сказал туманам. Он крикнул морякам: «вперед! Глядите, утро настает!» И поспешил в луга и нивы, Крича: «Гоните сон ленивый!» И к лесу он воззвал: «Шуми, Как знамя, листья подними!» Сказал пичуге робкой: «Птица! Проснись, чтоб в поднебесье взвиться!» И петуху на ферме: «Эй! Вставай, горнист, буди людей!» Шепнул колосьям: «Утро близко, Ему вы поклонитесь низко!» На башне колокол толкнул: «Пора! Пусть твой раздастся гул.»

d) A Dark Horse – Темная лошадка

While the jury is busy doing the sums let’s pass over to the next round which is called “A Dark Horse” (“Темная лошадка”). This time you are to listen to short stories and guess who this person is. The first student, who puts up his hand, gets the right to answer. If he is wrong, the members of the opposite team can answer the same question and get a point. Attention, no one point for the team, if I hear somebody shouting. (команды прослушивают короткий рассказ, и пытаются определить о ком идет речь, если команда отвечает неправильно, другая команда может дать свой ответ)
