Ход урока

1. Beginning of the lesson.

Teacher: Good morning! Sit down, please. I am very glad to see you and hope that you are ready for the lesson and in a good mood. The theme of our lesson is «East or West, home is best».

2. Introduction of the lesson

One of the way to learn about the world is travelling. To begin with let’s recall proverbs (match the two parts and read them):

There is no place like home.
The wider we roam the welcome home.
East or West, home is best.

Today we’ll start travelling all over the world. We’ll visit countries, cities, towns.

«The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page», said St.Augustine.

Teacher: I want you to express your own opinions. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

3. Warm-up activities.

Teacher: Our train will help us to make our journey interesting and exciting. Our task today is to decide where it’s better to live in a small village, town or in a large city. I want to begin our lesson with a rhyme «A question»

By Edith Segal.

Some people live in the country
Where the houses are very small,
Some people live in the city,
Where the houses are very tall.
But in the country where the houses are small,
The gardens are very big,
And the city where the houses are tall,
There are no gardens at all.
Where would you rather live?

Teacher: Let’s answer the question from the poem.

I think it would be better to start sightseeing with Trafalgar Square-the most popular place for people to meet.

I suppose, Tower Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in London. It is over a hundred years old.

I believe, Madame Tussaud’s is the world’s most famous waxwork museum. Over two million people go there every year to see figures of presidents, film stars and pop stars.

I think it would be a good idea to start a trip with Hyde Park-the most famous park in London.
