I. Teacher: Dear boys and girls! I am glad to see you at our lesson today because we have an unusual lesson – a competition. There are two teams at the lesson: the girls` team and the boys` team. They will show us their knowledge of the United Kingdom because our lesson is devoted to this country. We’ll speak about the sights, the capital of the country, some poets and writers and interesting facts. We’ll have several tasks at the lesson. Some of them were prepared by you at home but most of them weren’t prepared. I hope our competition will be fun. I have lots of red and blue stars here. For excellent answer you will get a red star. For a good answer you’ll get a blue star. At the end of the competition you’ll count all the stars you’ve received. The winner will be the team with the biggest number of the red stars. The pupils who show the best knowledge of the UK will be given special prizes. Let’s start our competition and introduce our teams to each other. What’s the name of the girls` team?

This text is about London. London is the capital of Scotland. It is one of the oldest and largest cities of the world. They say that London is one hundred years old. London has suffered many misfortunes. In the 5th century Saxons and later Danes invaded the British shores and ruined the city. In 1665 the Great War broke out. Many people died. Then in the winter of 1666 the Great Fire broke out. Most of the city was destroyed.
Now London is a big political, industrial and cultural centre. More than 1 million people live there. London is situated on the river Clyde. The river connects the capital with the sea.
London is divided into two parts. They are the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster. The West End is the richest part of the city with many beautiful shops, hotels, bars and restaurants. The East End is the place where the working people live. Westminster is the heart of business and commercial life. The City is the political centre.
