ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES

Today we are going to speak about English-speaking countries. Do you know any of them?

Why do we call these countries English-speaking?

We’ll have two teams – team 1 and team 2.

So today we are going to speak about three English-speaking countries and I want you to guess what they are.

1) I give you cards with the task. Read the descriptions of three countries and guess their names. Write down all your answers in the answer sheet.

Each team will get points for each correct answer. And you will get extra points if your team is the first.

Each country prepared a musical present for you today but you’ll get it a bit later.

We’ll begin with the UK.

Complete the sentences

You won’t get any points for it, let’s just do it together.

Now let’s speak about countries, their capitals, nationalities and languages. Look at the table on the slide and complete the sentences below.

Now let’s speak about the national symbols of the UK. National symbols of any country represent the country in the world.

On the slide you’ve got prompts, they will help you guess the symbols. 

Write down your answers in the answer sheet.

And now it’s the time for the musical present from the UK.

And I hope you know that different places of interest in different cities, especially in London, have become the symbols of the UK.

Do you know what bridge is situated not far from the Tower? – The Tower Bridge or London Bridge. And the song we’re going to sing together is call “London Bridge is falling down”. But first of all let’s read the text of the song. Look at the slide and repeat after me. Try to guess the meaning of the new words using the pictures.

The next English-speaking country is the USA.

Complete the sentences

And this country has also got a musical present for you. It’s “The 50 states song”. Listen to it very attentively and try to memorize as many states as you can because you will have the task then.

3) And the task for you is to find in the greed the names of 7 American states

Now let’s speak about the national symbols of the USA.

On the slide you’ve got prompts, they will help you guess the symbols.

Write down your answers in the answer sheet.

Now let’s have a rest. Stand up, watch a video, join in singing and do the same things.

And the last country today is Canada.

We’ll speak together about the national symbols of this country. Look at the slide. Maple trees are very popular (and widely spread) in Canada that is why this tree has become its symbol.

And now it’s the time for the musical present from Canada.

It’s a song which is called “Canada in my pocket”. But before listening to this song you’ll have to do the tasks.

V. Read the chorus of the song and find the names of four coins

Write down your answers in the answer sheet.

VI. Match the pictures of the coins with their names

But before doing the task answer my questions:

Write down your answers in the answer sheet.

VII. Read the text of the song and fill in the gaps with the missing symbols of Canada

And brings back things

Like chocolate bars

And books for us to read

The…, the …

Is a beautiful sight to see

He's a really big strong animal

With the polar bears

'Cause he likes the ice and snow
