Good afternoon, boys and girls! How are you? Fine?

Would you like to go abroad? You know that every year our school arranges a trip to England. I’m sure that everybody wants to visit Great Britain or any other country. But I’d like to see whether you are ready to go there or not.

Teacher: I think you’ve guessed what we are going to speak about. Let’s see if you understand the signs. On our walls you can see a lot of them. Listen to me and try to guess what sign I mean: “We’ll solve all your London travel problems. Just call in at any of our TRAVEL INFORMATION CENTRES (рис. 1а). We’ll answer all questions about where to go, and what to do and see on your visit. (№1). ”Now look at the signs which have only pictures and try to guess what they mean (рис.1 б–д).

Read and give me Russian equivalents of the rest of the signs ( рис.1 ж–к).

Teacher: I see that you are good at speaking English and it’s high time to plan our excursion around London. If you were in London what places of interest would you like to visit and why.

P1–P2–P3...: If I were in London I’d like to visit... because...

Вариант ответа: If I were in London I’d like to visit the British Museum because I’m interested in history. This is my favourite subject at school. I know the British Museum is in Great Russel Street. It is one of the biggest museum in London. There are a lot of beautiful collections in it: drawings, collections of coins, paintings and sculptures. There is a Manuscript Room there, the room where the most important historical documents are. I think it’s worth visiting and seeing.

Teacher: I see you know much about London. Let’s review some facts about London and Great Britain. We’ll have your favourite game now, “Crosses and Noughts”!
