St. Andrew’s Day (the 30th of November) is regarded as Scotland’s national day. On this day some Scotsmen wear a thistle in their buttonhole. As a national emblem of Scotland, thistle apparently first used in the 15th century as a symbol of defence. The Order of the Thistle is one of the highest orders of knighthood.

На интерактивной доске представлена анимационная презентация с достопримечательностями Лондона.
Pupils can give the following answers:
Hyde Park is one of the wonderful parks in London. There is a car park for 500 cars and also a tube station. On the north of Hyde Park there is a very famous place called "Speaker's Corner", where on Sundays any person can talk on any subject.
Trafalgar Square is in the centre of London. It was built in 1828. In the middle of Trafalgar Square is Nelson's Column. Admiral Nelson defeated the French at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. From that time English men wear black ties.
This Column is fifty meters high. A lot of demonstrations and public meetings take place here. It's a famous square where on New Year's Eve people gather to celebrate.
The National Gallery. The whole of the north side of Trafalgar Square is dominated by the National Gallery. It houses one of the finest art collections in the world. It includes paintings from Britain, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Flemish and other famous schools. It has a priceless collection of paintings by the famous artists Van Gogh, Rubens, Constable and many others.
The Tower of London is a very old building - nine hundred years old. In the early days of England the British (English) kings lived in the Tower. Then it was a prison where many people died. Black ravens had much food near the walls of the Tower in those days.
Now it's a museum housing the National Collection of Armour and Royal Regalia. Many tourists from other countries come to see it. They see the dark stone halls with small windows and thick doors. The Tower is still guarded by the famous Beefeaters who . wear a traditional Sixteenth century uniform.
Tower Bridge was opened in 1894. It takes its name from the Tower of London. The huge mechanism can raise and lower the bridge in about one and a half minutes.
The covered walkway between the two towers is open to the public and offers a spectacular view of London.
St. Paul's Cathedral is the city's greatest monument. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren in. 1675— 1710, to replace the old Cathedral that was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The Cathedral is second in size only to St. Peter's in Rome.
Between the two west towers rises the famous dome. It's 365 feet high and beneath it is the celebrated "Whispering Gallery". Wren is buried there, also Wellington and Nelson.
Buckingham Palace is an official residence of the Queen and her family. It isn't open to the public.
When the Queen is in residence the Royal Standard flies over the east front of Buckingham Palace. It has 600 rooms, a swimming pool, a cinema, a ballroom, and a garden, which is like a private park.
In summer the Queen gives three garden parties for abort 9,000 guests. The ceremony of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is a great tourist attraction. It takes place daily at 11.30 a.m. and lasts half an hour. To the sound of music, the guardsmen arrive and pass the palace keys to another group.
Westminster Abbey is a symbol of English tradition at its best. The coronation of nearly all English kings and queens since William the Conqueror has taken place here. Many of them are buried within the Abbey. There are also the graves of famous poets, writers, and statesmen. Here you can see memorials to Newton, Darwin, Dickens, Chaucer and others.
The Houses of Parliament. It was once a royal palace. Now it's the seat of Government. In 1834 it was destroyed by fire. The new building was built in 1852. It contains 500 apartments.
Among them are the Central Hall, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons. When the House is in session a Union Jack flies over the Tower by day, and a light burns in the clock Tower, or Big Ben by night.
The people of London can hear the sound of the bell every hour.
The Thames isn't a long river. It's three hundred and thirty kilometres long and it flows into the sea. The English people call it "The father of London". London began on the Thames. There is a museum of old ships on the Thames. These ships are from the history of Great Britain. One of them is the "Discovery" which went to the South Pole from 1901-1904. If we go down the Thames we pass the Port of London and arrive in Greenwich - a very old town. We can see the place where the Greenwich Meridian passes.
