Teacher: Today we are going to the country to see a typical English house and a traditional English garden.
(Учащиеся беседуют с семьей Баркеров на фоне картины с изображением дома и сада).
Teacher: Good morning, Mr and Mrs Barker. Thank you for agreeing to tell us about your hobby, gardening.
Mr Barker: Good morning, boys and girls. I’m glad to see you and show you around my garden.I think you know that gardening is a traditional English hobby. Some people have big gardens. They are very beautiful and famous all over the world. Many of these gardens are open to the public. But, of course, only rich people can have such gardens.
As for me, I have a small garden, but I grow different kinds of flowers in it. Here you can see roses: white, red, pink and yellow. Here I have camomiles and poppies. On this flowerbed I grow bluebells and daisies. There you can see lilies, they are my favourites. But my wife likes pansies and forget – me – nots most of all. They are near the house, so she can admire them all the time.
Teacher: Mr Barker, your garden is wonderful. Everything is very beautiful.
Mr Barker: Thank you very much, you are very nice. Now I’d like to ask your pupils about Russian people and their hobbies. Do Russian people enjoy gardening?

Примерные ответы учащихся
1. First of all I’d like to tell you that now I know a lot of interesting things about London. It’s really a very beautiful city. There are so many places of interest there. I like all of them. Many buildings are very old because London is two thousand years old.
2. I’d like to add that London is an important port. It’s near the sea. Many ships come to London from different countries of the world. The city stands on the river Thames. English people call it “ The Father of London”. It’s deep but not very clean.
3. As for me, I like the Tower of London. It’s a very old building. The Tower of London is nine hundred years old. In the past it was a royal palace and a prison. The walls of the Tower are five metres thick. Twelve black ravens live in the Tower. Londoners believe that London can be rich and great until the ravens live there.
4. I like the Tower of London and the beefeaters too. They wear a colourful uniform. They are both guards and guides. The Beefeaters also look after the ravens. In my opinion the Tower is the most interesting place in London.
5. I like London Zoo very much. Now I know that it is one of the biggest zoos in the world. There are more than 12000 animals there. There are elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, foxes, monkeys and birds there. A lot of people visit the Zoo every day.
6. I think the most unusual place in London is the Whispering Gallery in St. Paul’s Cathedral. Why does it have this name? Because if you say something in a whisper close to the wall on one side of the Gallery, a person on the other side can hear your words. It’s fantastic!
7. As for me, I like Trafalgar Square. It’s very large and beautiful. In the square there are a lot of pigeons. Tourists feed them. In the centre you can see a tall monument, Nelson’s Column. Now I know that Nelson was a great seaman, a famous admiral.
8. I like Madam Tussaud’s. It is fun! There are so many wax figures of famous people there. They are like living people! You can see kings, presidents, singers and criminals in the museum.
9. I want to say a few words about Buckingham Palace where the English Queen lives. She is the richest person in Great Britain, but I can’t say that Buckingham Palace is very beautiful.
At 11.30 a. m. every day there are a lot of tourists near the Palace, they watch the Changing of the Guard, when the new guard changes the old guard. The men wear colourful uniforms and bearskins and march to music.
10. I think that double – deckers are the most unusual thing in London. Red double – deckers are a symbol of the city. When there are many bright buses on the roads, the streets don’t look so grey. Tourists like to see the places of interest of the city sitting on the upper deck.
11. As for me, the Houses of Parliament is the most wonderful building in London. It’s very large and has two towers. It is 300 metres long. All people who go to London visit this place and take pictures of Big Ben because it’s a symbol of London. It’s exciting to be there!
