Let’s discuss some of the basic
questions that go with the geographically of Great Britain .
a) What is the name of the largest
island in Europe ? ( Great Britain ).
b) How is it separated from the
continent? ( by the English Channel ).
There are different ways to
cross the channel.Name some of them
( by plane, by ferry…) You can cross
the tunnel by plane, by ferry .
Now there is another way : by tunnel.Britain is not an island any more.
Today you can travel by train directly from London
to Paris .
The journey is fast and comfortable.
You can also take your car with you on one of the super fast trains,made
especially for the tunnel.
Controlled practice activity.
Look at the information about the Channel
Tunnel . Find answers to these questions:
a) How many train tunnels are there? (
three tunnels, not one );
b) Is the tunnel in the sea or under the
sea ( under the sea);
c) How long did it take to build it ? (
six years);
d) Where are the drills now?( The French engineers took their drill out , the
English engineers left their drill inside the tunnel).
Now only one thing is left
– to read the summary about the Channel Tunnel Eurochannel(Copies are given to the
pupils).
A long time ago, Britain
was joined to France .
Then about 8, 000 years ago, the level of the sea rose and Britain became an island.The result
was the channel.
The French had ideas for a tunnel
between France and England
as early as 1802,but the Englishmen did not show much interest. The sea kept
foreigners out- including friendly ones like Napoleon ! You can cross the
Channel by plane, ferry, hydrofol… Now there is another way : by tunnel. Britain
is not an island any more.
The Eurochannel Tunnel opened in 1994 after six years of work. The cost
increased from 4.6 billion to ever 11 billion. In fact , there are three
tunnels, not one. There are two tunnels for trains and one service tunnel for
repairs and emergencies. The Channel tunnel is 50 km long, it is 130 m under the sea.
Journey time in the Tunnel is 21 minutes. Now , the journey from London to
Paris takes
only three hours. Very soon the channel
will be connected to London
by a highspeed railway line. About 20 million people use the channel.

Procedure.
I Introduction.
II Warming-up.
T: We are going to speak about unusual Australian world of animals and
plants. Your geography teacher told me that you know a lot about Australia and we discussed some facts about Australia
today. So let’s remember and sum up everything we know about this wonderful
place.
Australian fauna
Because Australia is an island for millions
of years its wildlife has been able to evolve independently.
The animals of Australia are particularly
interesting because many of them are distinctly primitive. There are groups of
animals whose relatives have long since disappeared from other parts of the
world. Many of the animals found in this country are unique.
mammals. The largest number of the mammals, almost half, is the
marsupials, which include the kangaroo, koala and wombat.
The word marsupial is derived
from the Latin marsupium, which means pouch. The pouch gives protection to the
very young animal and contains the teats
from which it feeds. Nourished on its mother’s milk, it grows in the pouch to a
well – developed stage before it leaves the pouch. The only other country where
marsupials are still found is America ,
and only a few species remain.
The next group of mammals are
the monotremes, the only egg- laying mammals in the world. They have one
opening which serves for reproduction and for the elimination of waste
products. This group is represented by the platypus and the echidna. The other native land mammals are the bats,
rats, mice and the dingo. Australia ’s
bird species include the emu and kookaburra.
Around 55 million years ago Australia
belonged to Gondwanaland, which was made up of a number of continents. It was
almost completely covered in rainforest, although much of this dried out as Australia
moved towards the warmer climate.
T: Look at this table and answer my tricky questions.
1.What’s that ? What is the height of these trees ?
( Queensland
Bottle tree. 20 metres ).
2.It’s of course the king of Australian animals – the … It’s called a
pouched animal. Why ?
( Kangaroo. Because a baby kangaroo would not have a chance of growing
up if it didn’t have its mother’s pouch to crawl into. )
3.Koalas are bears, aren’t they ? Why are they called bears ? How many
leaves can they munch a day ?
( No, they aren’t. Because they look like teddy bears.1.5 kg a day ).
4.What is it ? Where can they be found ?
( Termite mound. In Kakadu National Park or Litchfield National Park
).
III Speaking.
T: Now we’ll listen to
conversations. Where are the speakers ? Give reasons for your answers.
Tapescript
Mary and Jim
Mary : Jim! Jim!
Jim: What’s the matter ?
Mary : Look, it’s coming out of
the water !
Jim: Who’s coming out of the

Mary : Look. Here it comes. Look

Jim: Oh, no !They can run

V Projects.
T:
Your task for today was to prepare projects about Australian animals or
birds. Now I’d like to listen to some of them.
Cockatoo
Cockatoos are crested birds from
rainforests, dry regions, and fields of Indonesia
and Australia .
There are many different species of cockatoos.
Cockatoos are long- lived birds. Many
species of cockatoo are endangered
Because of loss of habitat, being
shot as agricultural pests, and the sale of the young as pets.
Anatomy : the cockatoo averages about 12 to 15 inches ( 31- 38 )
long. These parrots range in colour from white, pink, yellow, grey, and black;
they all have a large , feathery head crest, and a curved bill. Males sometimes
have darker feathers or eyes than
females; otherwise, males and females are hard to distinguish.
Reproduction :there are only a few eggs in
each clutch ( a set of eggs laid in one
nesting period ). The eggs are laid in a hollow tree cavity. Both parents
incubate the eggs for close to a month, and both parents feed the chicks.
Diet : cockatoos eat seeds of grasses,
berries, and nuts.

smallest continent on the earth.

Procedure.
I Introduction.
II Розповідь вчителя.
What
kind of country is New
Zealand ? First of all, it is a long way
from everywhere- three hours by plane from Australia ,
and about twenty-six hours by plane from London .
It is a country of islands; the North Island and the South Island
are the main ones, and there are many small ones.
It is along, narrow country; nowhere in New Zealand is more than 125 kilometres from
the sea. It is a little larger than Great Britain ,
but Great Britain has a
population of 57 million, and New
Zealand has just 3.4 million people. It is
an exciting and surprising land; as well as mountains, forests, lakes, deserts
and rivers, there are places where hot water and steam explore out of the
ground .
And it is a young country. The first Maori people landed there a
thousand years ago, and the first British people came to live there around
1840.
The oldest tree in New
Zealand is more than 1,200 years old, but you
will not find many building that are more than about 150 years old. And in New Zealand
today more than half the people are under thirty years old.
III Group work.
1. Group 1 read the text and make up a
plan of it.
The Maori people.
The first people to settle in New Zealand
were a Polynesian group called the Moriori, who arrived about 100AD, probably
to hunt the huge, flightless moa birds. Maori migrations from the Pacific Islands probably began around 800 AD. The
Maori intermarried with some of the Maori, but drove the rest away to the Chatham Islands . The period of the so-called “Great
Migration “ of the Maori occurred in the 13th and 14th
centuries.
2.Group 2 read the text about people
and retell it.
People
The majority of the people of New Zealand
are Europeans, primarily of British (often Scottish) origin. Maori , the indigenous New Zealanders
who came from Polynesia, comprise the largest minority group. Other
Polynesians, mostly from Tonga ,
American Samoa , and the Cook Islands, also
live in New Zealand .
Most of these new Polynesians migrated to the country after 1946. Immigration
from the Pacific Islands
and East Asia has been rising, although in the
mid- 1990s immigration targets were lowered and strict English- language
requirements for residency were implemented, making immigration somewhat more
difficult.
3.Group 3 read the text and write a
composition about the life, culture
and the language of Maori.
Language.
English and Maori are the official
languages of New Zealand . Almost all Maori speak
English; the Maori language is used primarily for ceremonies and other special
occasions. However, the English language spoken in New Zealand includes many Maori
words, and many place names come from the Maori language. For example , the
word kiwi, which refers to a native bird and a national symbol, can also mean a
New Zealander; and a white person is a pakeha( A Maori word meaning “far
skinned”).
