(организация проверки выполнения домашнего задания)

T.          Now I think, it’s time to start our excursion. It was your hometask.
   ….

P1:          Welcome to London! Today we’ll travel by bus. Pay attention that our bus is red. All buses in London are red, they are called double-deckers.

               London… London is a very old city. It is about 2 thousand years old. Many years ago London was a small town on the Thames. There were a lot of villages round it and after many years London and 300 villages grew into a very large city. Now it is a beautiful city and one of the biggest capitals in the world. It is situated upon both of the river Thames. The most important parts of London are the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster.
We’ll begin our excursion from the heart of London. As you know it is the City, or the Square Mile, the oldest part of London. Only ten thousand people live there and most important companies and bank have offices there.

P2:         Now you can see the Tower of London. It’s a famous ancient historic building. It was founded by William the Conqueror in 1078. It was a fortress, a palace, a prison and the King’s Zoo. Now it is a museum. You can see a lot of interesting things in the halls of this building. Twelve black ravens live in it. People believe that London will be rich while the ravens live there.

                Not far from the Tower there is Tower Bridge. It’s the gateway to London from the sea. It is the most famous but not the oldest bridge in London. There are 17 bridges over the Thames but it’s the only one which can be raised. This bridge quickly became the symbol of London.

P3:          Now you can see one of the greatest English churches. It is St. Paul’s Cathedral. The famous English architect Sir Christopher Wren built it in the 17th century after the Great Fire. It is a fine building with many columns and towers. In one of the towers there is one of the largest bells in the world.  Inside the church there are monuments to national heroes. The Duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson and Christopher Wren are buried there.

P4:          Now look at the grey buildings with towers. It’s Westminster Palace which is known as the Houses of Parliament. It’s a place where British Parliament sits.
The modern Westminster Palace was built in 1840 after the fire on the historical place of the old Westminster Palace. There are 2 towers: the Victoria Tower and the Clock Tower. The Victoria Tower holds the documents of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The large clock in one of the towers is “Big Ben”. The clock and the bell got their names after
Sir Benjamin Hall, who looked after the building of the clock. You can hear the sound of
“Big Ben” every hour.

 Just opposite the Houses of Parliament you can see Westminster Abbey,   the most important    
and famous of all historic buildings in Britain. It is a fine Gothic building in the center of  
London. It is more than nine hundred years old. There are many monuments and statues,
tombs and memorials of almost all English monarchs, famous statesmen and scientists, writers
and musicians there. In Poet’s Corner the most important English literary men are buried:  
Dickens, Shakespeare, Burns, Byron, Kipling, W. Scott.

P5:           Now we are on the Trafalgar Square, one of the famous and the most beautiful place in  
London.   In the middle of it a monument to Admiral Nelson is situated.  The monument  
includes 4 bronze lions.  There are 2 fountains and historical British people around the column.
Look… So many pigeons! You can feed them just from your hands.

                 On the north side of the square you can see a fine building with tall columns.
 It’s the National Gallery. It is one of the best picture galleries of the world.

P6:           Let’s have a walking tour to Buckingham Palace now. It takes us 10 minutes to get there.    
Buckingham Palace is the Queen's official and main royal London home. It has been the  
official London residence of Britain's monarchy since 1837. The Queen Victoria Memorial 
is in front of it.

                Look, you can see a lot of tourists near the Palace. They are waiting the ceremony of changing of the guard. It takes place daily at 11 o'clock in front of Buckingham Palace. It is accompanied by music played by a military band. Would you like to watch and enjoy it.

P7:         If you want to see London, the best place to go  the London Eye. The Eye is a big wheel on the River Thames. The Eye is very popular. Every day 1600 people go on the Eye. There are 33 capsules and one ride takes 30 minutes.’

The Eye is very tall (133 meters). At the top of the Eye you get a great view of London. You can see for 25 miles (40 kilometers) but don’t go if you are afraid of heights!

 In London there are many old and new wonderful parks.
They are: Richmond  Park, The Regent's Park, Kensington  Garden.  The largest park is Hyde Park.  It is the most popular place of London on hot summer days.  Hyde Park is famous for its Speaker’s Corner.

P8:          Dear, boys and girls, our excursion is going to the end. We hope you have enjoyed the sightseeing of London and in the nearest future you will come to London. Good luck for you.

T.            Thank you for so wonderful excursion. I’m sure that it was interesting and useful for all students. Now you have got much information about places
of interest in London.

3.  Динамическая пауза. (P1-P2-P3…)

T.             I think you are tied a little bit. Let’s have a break and listen to the song about London in French and English: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oky9qwVq3eM - «MY LONDON SONG» 

                Or (“This Is My City” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDlux4nZxw0)

            (What symbols of London do you know? Please, let’s try to depict “Big Ben”, ravens in the
