The Grand Canyon is over 320 km long and up to 6 km deep. The top and the bottom of the canyon have very different weather and vegetation. In fact, going from the top to the bottom is somewhat like going from Canada to Mexico.
There are signs that people lived there 4,000,000 years ago.

- Слушаем информацию о коренных жителях Канады. Let’s listen a girl from Canada.
Она становится у карты и начинает свой рассказ. (Карта страны):
My name is Jane Emudluk. I live in Canada. I am Canada’s inuit.
- Inuit – другое название эскимосов, так называли людей, которые ели сырое мясо.
- Nunavut – Нунавут, название территории, где живут инуиты.
- Inuktitut – инуктитут, родной язык инуитов.
The Inuit used to be called “Eskimos”, which means “eaters of raw meat”, but they prefer “Inuit”, because it means “ the people”.
We called our new territory Nunavut because it means “our land” in Inuktitut, our native language. We live in extreme conditions in winter, it is dark 24 hours a day, and the temperature can drop to -50 grades below 0. In summer it is light 24 hours a day! The Inuit have lived in this frozen region of tundra, icy lakes and Arctic islands for thousands of years. Their ancestors came here from Siberia perhaps 30,000 years ago. It is hard to believe but just 50 years ago the Inuit were nomads. They depended on hunting and fishing and moved from place to place as hunting seasons changed. Today we lived in houses and worked in offices and factories. Young people wear western clothes, eat fast food and listen to rock music.
But some Inuit, however, continue to live as hunters and fishermen. They wear their traditional clothes and eat their traditional food.
Now the Inuit live in houses but they still make igloos (хижины из затвердевшего снега) when they go hunting.
Only 6,200Inuit live in Iqaluit (Икалуит), the capital of Nunavut. Iqaluit’s parliament building is designed like an igloo. (Хижина из затвердевшего снега). Inuit teens still play their traditional games but they also do the same things you probably do for fun.
The Inuit women are famous for their throat-singing (горловое пение).
The Inukshuk (инукшук) is perhaps the most famous symbol of the Inuit. These markers were used to help travellers and hunters not to get lost. You can see an Inukshuk on the flag of Nunavut.
Учитель: Thank you very much. Задаю вопрос классу: Did you like this story? Please, your questions to our guest. (Вопросы могут быть следующие: How much is the territory of Nunavut? Do the Inuit live only in Nunavut? What can you say about the Niagara Falls? How many Inuit live in Canada? And so on…)
- Let’s listen the girl from Australia.
Hello, boys and girls! My name is Nicole Gibson. I am from Australia. Australia is the only country that has a whole continent to itself!
The best time to see it is at the end of the day, when its color changes from yellow to gold, red and then purple.
Учитель: The information was very interesting, was not it? Please, try to ask questions! (What is the another name of Australia? Is Tasmania a part of this country? Is the dingo very dangerous? What is Australia’s agriculture famous for? and so on…)

The next pupil will report us about the UK.
Let me introduce myself. I am Jock Macmillian. I am from Scotland. I live in the Highlands. They are in the north of Scotland. This is a region of mountains and rivers, small towns and villages. I am a Highlander. And the Highlanders are fond of Highland Games, that is why I want to tell you about them.
In the hammer throw (метание молота), athletes throw a Scottish hammer.
That is all what I would like to tell you about Highlands Games shortly. I hope you will like these events very much if you visit our country sometime.
Учитель: Have you learned a lot about Scotland events? Let’s ask some question to Jock. (You have told that Scotland is a country of mountains. How is the highest peak of Scotland called? What is the most popular place for tourists in Scotland? What about Lock Ness? And so on….)

The last English-speaking country is New Zealand.
Выходит девочка: Hello, boys and girls! My name is Jane. I live in New Zealand.
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. I live here and I am inviting you to us. Welcome and you see that the Earth is an amazingly living constantly changing place.
Учитель: I think New Zealand is a wonderful country, is not it? And now ask your questions, please. (I would like to know how this country got its present name? How many people live in this country? What is the national emblem of New Zealand? What trees are typical of New Zealand?)
- Физкультминутка.
- Повторение домашнего задания.
На экране пословица “There is no place like home.” This proverb means that there are many wonderful places in the world but the place where you live where you were born is the best. That is why we will speak about Buryatia now.
The Republic of Buryatia.
Карта. (У карты ученик. Он начинает рассказ…)
East of Baikаl is the Republic of Buryatia which is a Siberian land. Buryatia occupies a great territory of Eastern Siberia. Its territory =351,300 square km.
The population = 1,056,000 people. It is more than a quarter larger than New Zealand in area. The northwestern borderline stretches along the shore of Lake Baikal. The republic borders on Mongolia, Sakha- Yakutia, the republic of Tuva,the Irkutsk region and the Chita region.
Buryatia is rich in mountains and boundless steppes, thick forests and quiet lakes, rapid mountain rivers with crystal clear icy water and, of course, world famous Lake Baikal. The mountains are rich in minerals. Almost the whole set of elements in the Mendeleyev table is to be found there.
(Go to your place, Tanya. Please, go on, Pasha)
The taiga is a nice coniferous forest. It covers about 60 % of the whole territory. There are a great variety of trees in it: pine, cedar, fur, birch, aspen, bird cherry and alpine rose.
The taiga is rich in fur-bearing animals. For example, bear, wolf, sable, fox, squirrel, mink, etc.
All the rivers run into Baikal except the Angara. Only the Selenga is navigable. (Pasha, thank you for this information. Roma, What can you tell us about Buryatia?)
The frosts in snowy winters are severely cold. The summers are short and hot with few rainy days. So they say Buryatia is sunny. It is a second Switzerland.
The native people of Buryatia are Buryats.
