Introducing Britain
Documentary 5’00
Part 1
You arrive at an airport in Britain.
The first thing you see are the similarities. A lot of things look the same here as at home. You could be anywhere in Europe.
Part 2
The shops are an international mixture. The people don’t look any different. The clothes are the same. The hair is the same. People do the same things. The British can be polite and friendly…but not always.
Part 3
When you leave the airport, you will see that everyone drives on the left. Be careful when you cross the road!
Part 4
One of the differences you’ll see is the style of the houses. Each house generally has just a ground floor and a first floor and is surrounded by a small garden. Looking after the garden is one of the main British pastimes. In suburbs like this, there are not many blocks of flats.
Everything looks neat and tidy.
Part 5
The big city center are different, things are not always very pretty.
Life is faster, harder, noisier. Cars, lorries, busses and taxis dominate city life.
Many British cities have changed to make things better for the car, but to make things worse of the people.
Part 6
British food can be different too. You will enjoy some of the food, it’s quite delicious. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. But other kinds of British food are not quit as delicious. Chips, sausage and beans.
Perhaps not for the visitors.
And there’s tea and coffee! Tea and coffee with everything!
Part 7
It’s your first evening in Britain. You can go out to a pub, if you want. There are many different kinds of pub. Some nice, some not so nice.

Примерный ответ учащихся
I
My heart’s in the Highlands
(R. Burns)
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,
A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe –
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go!
Listen to my story about Burns Night and then answer my questions.
Robert Burns is Scotland’s national poet and Scottish people have a big dinner every year to celebrate his birthday (25 January). The main part of the meal is “haggis”, Scotland’s national dish made from liver, cereals and fat served in a sheep’s stomach. Then everyone reads poems and sing songs written by the great “Rabbie” Burns himself.
- When do Scottish people celebrate Burns Night?
- Why do they do it?
- How do people celebrate it?
- What is “haggis”?
