SCOTLAND. It is a country of great variety with its own unique character and strong traditions. It is a very beautiful country, famous for the diversity of its landscapes. Scottish lakes, called ”lochs” are surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains. The most famous of the Scottish lochs is Loch Ness, because of the mystery of its monster. It is not the largest lake in Britain, but it is 35 km long. The weather of the lake is dark and always very cold. It is a strange creature with two humps in its back, the head of a snake, a giraffe-like neck and two very short front legs. People called the water monster Nessie. The Loch Ness monster is a real attraction for people from all parts of Britain and from many other countries.

Pupils ask questions:

  Презентация озера Байкал.

Baikal takes special place among all the beauties and riches of Siberia. It is the greatest nature puzzle which cannot be solved till today. The question of Baikal’s origins is still controversial. It is the deepest lake on the Earth. Its maximum depth is 1637 m. Baikal water is pure, crystal, transparent, fresh, well-saturated with oxygen and contains very few mineral salts. Its total volume amounts 23000 cubic km (22% of the world’s surface fresh water). 22 stationary islands exist in Baikal. The age of Baikal impresses imagination: it is about 25 ml years old.

The lake is fed by 336 rivers. Most of the streams flowing into the lake are only short rivulets that plunge down the steep cliffs during rains or during the spring thaw.
The beauty and variety of fauna of Baikal impress imagination.
Baikal is unique and incomparable. You may think that here like in a giant laboratory Nature performed some mind-boggling experiments. The perfect and unique world has been created. The taiga and the desert, the tundra and the stone steppe are combined here together. Trees and flowers, birds and animals, the sun and the depth of the lake, all these save the fresh water of Baikal for the living and the future generations.

Local people consider Baikal sacred and treat it as if it were an alive, intelligent and wise creature. A lot of legends are connected with Baikal: “Baikal has put it here by its wave, so it should be its proper place!” The sacredness of the lake was admitted (or maybe felt) even by the first Russians who came here.

T: What kind of scenery is typical for the place you live?

And forest, gardens, free of dust.

Your sunrise in a splendid sight

Which gives me always such delight!

И шепот ив у омутной воды,

Люблю навек, до вечного покоя…

       Средь некошеной травы,
