Good morning, dear guests and friends. We are glad to see you at our lesson “Welcome to Russiа. So today we are  going to make a very  enjoyable trip to a wonderful country. We’ll speak about its position and history, rivers and mountains, interesting events and  unusual things.

Учитель: Добрый день. Мы рады приветствовать вас  на интегрированном уроке английского языка и информатики « Добро пожаловать в Россию».В конце изучения темы « Россия – моя Родина» на уроках английского языка  ребятам было  предложено пригласить иностранных гостей в Россию и организовать для них путешествие». Свой проект мы назвали « Добро пожаловать в Россию».При подготовке проекта  ребят были нацелены на поиск материалов краеведческого  характера, что в значительной степени усилило воспитательный потенциал обоих  предметов.

II.Речевая подготовка: (проводится в режиме T-P1, T-P2 …)

             Let’s imagine that our guests are from different countries. Try to persuade them to visit our native land- Russia

        At our previous lessons we spoke about different reasons for travelling to Russia. On your monitors and on the screen you can see some of them. Now, listen to me and repeat them after me.

Why travel to Russia

1. to meet people
2. to practice speaking Russian
3. to see the beautiful Russian country side
4. to learn about the history of Russia
5. to take part in a celebration
6. to visit new places
7. to buy souvenirs

        Now your task: you should  choose only one reason, which in your opinion is more attractive for foreigners and underline it.

From the very ancient times people  wanted  to  explore other countries. They used primitive transport, they spent much time to get somewhere, and they tried and tried and tried.

                        To whatever part of the world you went

                        By wheel or sail, or wing or track,

                        You’ll have exciting things to tell

                        Now that you are safely back.

                Teacher:-What is the best way to see a country? We offer you a  project “Travelling in Russia” done by Nastya Sinegubova

-What is the best way to see a country? This question as well as many others you would probably keep  in  mind  if  you deсided to visit Russia.

       There  are   many ways of traveling in our country. First of all, if you want to walk, to see the beautiful countryside, to meet people, you may have long  walks  in  the country. Such walks are called hikes. Take your rucksacks, don’t think about tickets, don’t hurry and walk a lot. During such hikes you see a lot of interesting places, sometimes you meet interesting people.

                You may travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. When you go by car, you don’t take tickets too, you put all the things you need in a car.

It’s comfortable to travel by train and by plane. When you travel by plane, you don’t spend a lotof time going from one place to another.

                If you want to go to the seaside, you may travel by ship.

                It is warm, you can swim, enjoy watching white ships.

                I think that  travelling  is a very useful thing and you enjoy all kinds of traveling very much.

Teacher:Russia is one of the biggest countries in the world. It has its own national symbols, emblems.It is a country of very old traditions.I think that before traveling to Russia foreign friends would probably like to get as  much  information as possible.

                        done by Ksenya Babenkova

        Russia is one of the biggest countries in the world. It is situated  in Europe and Asia. Its total area is over 17 mln  square kilometres. The population of Russia is about 150 million people.

        Russia has a double-headed eagle as a symbol. It was introduced in Russia in 1497 by Tsar Ivan III.

        The national flag of Russia is made up of three stripes: white, blue and red. The white stripe symbolizes nobility and revelation. The blue stripe symbolizes courage, generosity and

love and the red stripe symbolizes loyalty and honesty. Besides, there are other national symbols, such as St. Andrews’s flag and St. George the Victorious.

        According to old traditions, a guest should always be welcomed with the symbol of lifegiving food- bread and salt.

        The beauty of the ancient towns, their historical and architectural monuments, the gilded domes of the cathedrals, and the autumnal gold of the forests attract tourists from all over the world.

        The singing of chastushkas used to be an important part of Russian rural holidays and parties. In many places they are still popular.

        Teacher: People who plan to travel should decide what things to take. That’s why they should know about the weather conditions in different seasons in our country.

                        done by Valya  Gilavyan

        Winter, spring, summer and autumn are the seasons of the year.

        December, January and February are winter months. The weather is cold, usually it snows. The days are short and the nights are long. You can see snow everywhere.

        March, April and May are spring months. The weather is fine, it is warm. Sometimes it rains but as usual the sun shines brightly.

        June, july and August are summer months. It is hot or warm. June is the first month of summer. We have the longest day and the shortest night of the year on the 21-st and 22-nd of June. August is the last summer month. Sometimes it is cool in August.

        September, October and November are autumn months. The weather is changeable. It often rains.

   Teacher:Tastes differ, says one popular proverb. Every country has its own traditional dishes. What about meals in Russia?

4.Project ”Russian Meals” done by Vlad  Ryazanov

        The usual meals in Russia are breakfast, dinner and supper.

        As a rule people have breakfast at 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning. Children and grown-ups are fond of pancakes. Then you have a cup of tea with milk or lemon or coffee and a ham and cheese sandwich. At about 1 or 2 p. m. we have dinner. It often consists of three courses .For the first course we eat chicken soup, cabbage soup (shchi), borshch, mushroom soup, or fish soup. For the second course Russians eat different kinds of salad ( meat salad, fish salad, vegetable salad), fried, boiled or stewed meat or fish. For the third course we have a glass of juice, a piece of cake or a pie.

        In the evening we have supper. Some people prefer mashed potatoes with pickled or fresh vegetables.

        Далее проводится обсуждение традиционных русских блюд, которые уч-ся хотели бы предложить иностранным гостям. ( Работа проводится в режиме T-P1, P2, P3 и т. д. )

        T: What Russian dishes would you advise your friends? Why?

        P1: I’d advise blini. They are tasty.

        P2: I’d recommend okroshka. It’s fantastic! Etc.

 T: Traditions. They make a nation special. To my mind many foreigners  come to Russia to learn about our traditions and to take part in a celebration. So our next project is  about Russian holidays and festivals.

                5.Project “Holidays in Russia” done by Natasha Zlobinskaya

There are some special dates and events in the life of our country.

        These dates are: Victory Day, May Day , Constitution Day, Independence Day. These are national holidays. The most memorable date is Victory Day. It is celebrated on the 9 th of May. On this day we celebrate the anniversary of the victory over fascism in the Great Patriotic War.

        May Day is celebrated as the day of solidarity of  the workers of the world.

        Women’s Day, is celebrated on the 8 th of March, is like Mother’s Day in Great Britain.

        Some holidays are of religious origin. They are Christmas and Easter. In Russia Christmas is celebrated on the 7 th of January. At Christmas people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Easter  symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

T: There are many places to see in our country. What cities would you advise your friends to visit in Russia?

        The next project is about our capital Russia.

                6.Project “Moscow’’  done by Angelina Poteryakhina

        Moscow is the capital of Russia. It’s one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in the world. The population of the city is about 9 mln. people.

        Moscow is a political center, where the government of our country works.

        Moscow was founded in 1147 by Yury Dolgoruky. Moscow is an industrial center, too. There are many factories and industrial plants in it.

        Moscow is a cultural center. There are a lot of theatres, museums, institutes, libraries and cinemas in Moscow. There are different means of public transport in Moscow. They are trams, buses, trolley-buses, taxis, the underground. There are many places of interest in Moscow.

        Moscow, the heart of our country, is dear not only to Moscovites, but to all Russians.

        I would recommend to see the following sights of our capital: The Kremlin, Red Square, State Moscow University, the Moscow Metro, the Central Stadium in Luzhniki, Gorky Central Park, the Children’s Musical Theatre, the Battle of Borodino Panorama Museum, the Museum of History, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Tretyakov Art Gallery, the Pushkin Fine Art Meseum, the Central Military Museum.

        Teacher: St. Petersburg is often called the northern capital of our country. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And the history of this city is very interesting too. .Let’s travel to St. Petersburg.

                        7.Project “St. Petersburg” done by Oleg Matveychev

        St.Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

        It was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great as the “Window on the West.”

        St. Petersburg is a city of great beauty, with places, cathedrals, churches, government buildings.

        When the First  World war began in 1914, the German-sounding name, St. Petersburg, was changed to Petrograd.

        After the October Revolution the city was renamed after Lenin.

        During the Great Patriotic War Leningrad was cut off from the rest of the country for a year and a half. No food could be brought in, and people died of starvation.

        Rebuilding took years. Now St. Petersburg is an important industrial, cultural and educational center. The population of the city  is over 5 million . There are many sights in St. Petersburg. The Winter Palace, the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the Peter-and-Paul Fortress and the Admiralty building attract thousands of tourists from every corner of the world.

        Teacher: I think we can invite foreign  friends to our land and show them the beauty of our nature, the riches of our land and hospitality of our people.

                        8.”The Stavropol Region. The Caucasus Mineral Waters.”

done by Nastya Morgunova

Stavropolye. The territory  is situated in the center of a vast Caucasus.The beauty of landscapes is beyond description.Stavropolye has mild climate, rich soil, various minerals and good-natured people.

        The story of the territory will be  incomplete without its history. In the past North Caucasus was the arena of many tragic events. People had to work hard to bring Stavropolye back to life after the Great Patriotic War.

        Stavropol is the principle town of the Territory, its major administrative, cultural and military center.

        South of Stavropol territory, in the south-western part of Russia, you can visit a unique region- The Caucasus Mineral Waters.Famous balneological  resorts are situated here: Pyatigorsk, Essentuky, Zheleznovodsk and the climatic resort Kislovodsk.These resorts have become widely known due to the availability of various types of mineral waters.Each of the towns in this district has its own unique look. But they also have something in common: they are warm towns. Every visitor becomes sensitive of the special atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.

        The North Caucasus is Russia in miniature. People with their traditions, religions, languages live here.

        Hospitality is one of the striking, distinguishing features of the people of the Caucasus. The guest will have the best place which has the house and will be surrounded with attention and care.

9.Чтение текста с целью детального понимания.(используется текст краеведческого характера)

        Thank you. Well done. Our next work is Reading Comprehention. On the screen and on your monitors  you can see the text. The title of the text is “The History of Pyatigorsk”. Let us read it very attentively. Try to get as much information as possible. After the text there are some questions for you. Find the answers to them in your texts. You have3 minutes.

                                                The History of Pyatigorsk.

                The mineral springs in this area were first mentioned in the 14-th century. As for the town, its history is dated back to 1780. This date is considered to be the foundation town date.

        The soldiers who served in the fortress noticed  that after baths in the mineral springs they felt healthy. The fame of the unusual mineral water was spread over Russia very quickly.

        In 1803 the North Caucasian Mineral Water Area was acknowledged as a state spa area. But only in 1812 the first houses were built at the foot of the mountain Mashuk.Goryatevodsk settlement came to its rise. In 1830 it was renamed as town Pyatigorsk.

        It’s interesting to know that Pyatigorsk got its name from the Turkish “ Beshtau”, which means in translation “five mountains”. Beshtau  is the highest mountain near which Pyatigorsk is situated.

        In 1893 the towns of the area were connected by the railway line. It was the impulse for the further development of spa promotion. The new hotels, restaurants, cottages were being built.

        The government gave money for the construction of mud establishments, tramline, bath-taking building as well as water piping.

        So, Pyatigorsk got to be known as a modern spa. Presently the spa has about 20 sanatoriums, 3 boarding houses, 5 rest- homes at its disposal. We’ve got 6 bath complexes, mud establishment, inhalation service, 3 mineral drinking galleries.

        Pyatigorsk has become a well known health resort.

        Answer the questions:

        1.When were the mineral springs mentioned first in our area ?

        2.What date is considered  to be the foundation town date?

        3.When did our town get its name ?
