card 3 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 

I'd like to give a talk about the UK. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The country is situated in the British Isles. So, the UK is an island state. The two main islands are Great Britain and Ireland. The two islands are separated by the Irish Sea. The UK is separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. The UK is also washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the north and by the North Sea in the east.   

   The UK consists of four parts which are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The flag of the United Kingdom is known as the Union Jack. It is made up of three crosses: the cross of St. George (the patron saint of England), the cross of St. Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland) and the cross of St. Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland). 

 In Britain the Queen is the head of state, but in fact, she doesn't rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is the symbol of the country, its history and traditions. She travels about the United Kingdom, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. The Queen of Great Britain is also the Head of the Commonwealth and the Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 

But the real power in the UK belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government. The British Parliament has two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The members of the House of Commons are elected. The British people elect 650 members of the House of Commons every five years. The members of the House of Lords are not elected, they are selected. These members are permanent. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening. 

Card №14 
You are to give a talk about ecology.  

Remember to say:  

 - what you know about ecology; 

 - if our planet needs protection; 

-  what should be done to save our planet.  

    I'd like to give a talk about ecology. What do people understand by it? Ecology is the study of the ways in which organisms (plants and animals)depend upon each other and upon their surroundings. Each organism requires conditions in order to be able to live. These conditions are its environment which is changing all the time. The environment is getting worse and worse because of the pollution. 

    So, pollution is one of the most burning problems of nowadays. Now millions of chimneys, cars, buses, trucks all over the world release fumes and harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. These chemicals pollute everything: air, land, water, birds, animals and people. So, it is usually hard to breathe in the large cities where there are lots of plants.  Another kind of pollution is water pollution. Rivers and lakes, seas and oceans are polluted with factory waste. Fish and other sea creatures can't survive in such poisoned water.  Another ecological problem is deforestation. People are constantly cutting down trees, they are destroying animals and birds' natural habitats. So, a lot of species of animals are becoming extinct. If people in different countries continue in this way, we will lose our natural environment and will have nothing to live on. 

    Our planet needs protection. Governments and politicians of different countries should take steps to prevent pollution of all kinds and protect the Earth and all the organisms. People should stop pollution.There are organisations which protect the environment. Greenpeace is one of them. It is an international environmental organisation. It was founded in 1969 by a group of Canadian environmentalists. Members of Greenpeace appear in the places where the environment is endangered. For example, they block the way to the ships that try to dump waste, and work hard to create a nuclear-free world. 

    I think not only members of environmental organisations can protect the Earth. Everyone can plant trees and save water and other resources. People mustn't pollute rivers and land. People mustn't cut down rainforests which are the lungs of our planet. People must think of and develop new eco-friendly technologies. Only in this way our planet can survive. 

    That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

Card №15 

Give a talk about climate and weather.  

Remember to say: 

 - what types of climate you know;  

- why different parts of the world have different types of climate;  

- people of what professions are interested in weather forecasts and why. 

     I'd like to give a talk about climate and weather. Weather and climate are different. Weather is a short period description of the air in an area measured by temperature, precipitation (осадки), humidity (влажность), wind, and other factors. Climate is the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time. There are 12 different types of climate found on the Earth. Climates in the same category are found in the same area. I know the names of some of them. They are tropical rainy climates, dry climates, mild humid climates, cold polar climates, the Mediterranean climate, oceanic climate, and subarctic climate. Our region has the continental climate. 

    Different parts of the world have different climates because of the distance from the sea, distance from the equator, height above the sea level, directions of the winds, humidity and rainfall. 

Nowadays all of us are interested in weather forecasts. But people who work outdoors are interested in weather forecasts most of all. Among them are football players, gardeners, drivers, builders, pilots, sailors. If weathermen predict rainy or stormy weather, football matches and flights are delayed. A gardener won't work about the garden if the rainstorm starts. Besides, climbers, hikers and cyclists can't continue their hike or ride if it is rainy or stormy outside. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

 - what the name of the town you live in is and what it is famous for;

- what you know about the history of your town; 

- what your favourite place in the town is, why.

     I'd like to speak about Kemerovo, which is the capital of Kuzbass that is the administrative centre of Kemerovo Oblast. I've been living in this city all my life since I was born and I am proud of living here as Kemerovo is not only a large industrial city but also a cultural centre with a number of theatres, cinemas, museums and even the Philarmonic Society. Besides, there are a few sports centers and numerous sports and fitness clubs in Kemerovo. 
 Kemerovo is located on the Tom River, east-northeast of Novosibirsk, in the major coal mining region of the Kuznetsk Basin. The population of Kemerovo is over 500 thousand people. It is located 3,482 kilometers east of Moscow.Kemerovo's position gives it a continental climate with average temperatures between -18 degrees in January to +20 degrees in July. 

The original name of the city was Shcheglovsk. In 1932, Shcheglovsk was renamed Kemerovo and became the administrative centre of KemerovoOblast in 1943. As for my favourite place in the city, it is KomsomolskyPark where I always go for a walk with my friends.

  

I'd like to say that  Kemerovo is really a city where one can find everything to their tastes and interests. There are some places here which are worth visiting. One of them is Vesenyaya Street. It is especially beautiful in spring and summer. It is our citizens' favourite walking area. 

I think I will continue living in Kemerovo as it is a well-developed city.

Asia is the continent nearest to Australia in the north. Antarctica lies to the south. New Zealand is to the east. Australia is washed by the Pacific Ocean in the east and by the Indian Ocean in the west.

Most people live on the narrow coasts of the east and southeast. Main cities are also situated there. The capital of Australia is Canberra. The largest city is Sydney.

 Australia is divided into 6 states and 2 territories.

It is situated on the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

 Thousands of tourists visit Australia every year because, firstly, its unique geographical position and climate let some unusual animals and plants live and grow there. Some of  them are the duckbill (or the platypus), the kangaroo, the koala, the dingo, the emu, the kookaburra, the eucalyptus. Secondly, there are some beautiful modern cities, such as Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide,Brisbane. The most famous sight is Sydney Opera House.

Give a talk about William Shakespeare.  

 

Remember to say:

  

 - what you know about William Shakespeare; 

 -  why he left for London; 

 - what works by Shakespeare you know.  

     I'd like to tell you about William Shakespeare, a famous English poet and dramatist. William Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His mother was a daughter of a farmer. His father was a glove-maker. William went to a grammar school in Stratford. There he learned to love reading. William married Anne Hathaway, a farmer's daughter, who was some years older than he was. William and Anne had three children - Susannah, Hamnet and Judith. 

   In 1587, though he was married, William left his family and went to work in London. Nobody knows exactly why he did it. Some people say that the reason was his desire to act and stage plays. But there is another story which says that he had to run away from law because he had killed some deer belonging to a rich man.  In London William began to act and to write plays. Soon he became an important member of a well-known acting company. Most of his plays were performed in the Globe Theatre. In 1613 he stopped writing and went to live in Stratford where he died in 1616. 

   Shakespeare wrote not only plays but also beautiful sonnets. Among his plays are both tragedies and comedies. The most famous of them are "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", "As You like It", "Twelfth Night", "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I haven't read Shakespeare's plays in the original yet. But I hope I will be able to understand them soon. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank  you for listening.

Though it is an old city, it has become the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centre. In fact, it is a global city.  Besides, London has got some famous tourist attractions, such as the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral and many others. If you are going on a tour of London, you should visit the Tower of Londonfirst. It is one of the most famous fortresses in the world. It has been a fortress, a palace, a prison, a mint, a zoo. Now it is a museum. Another worth visiting attraction here is the London Eye. It is the world's highest observation wheel and offers exciting views of over 55London's most famous places. Moreover, London has got a large number of parks and gardens. Hyde Park is one of them.     As for me, I would like to visit the National Gallery which houses the greatest collection of paintings in the world. And, naturally, I would like to ride on the London Eye. Finally, I would like to do the shopping at Oxford Street, which is the longest shopping street in the world.

"США. Политическое устройство" 
для учащихся 6-х классов от 10 апреля 2019 года    
 Card № 6    
You are to give a talk about the USA.
 Remember to say:  
  - what the highest law of the country is;  
  -   what the political system of the USA is like;  
  -  who the head of the state in the USA is.      
     I'd like to give a talk about the political system of the USA. The USA consists of fifty states. The highest law of the country is the Constitution. It was adopted inPhiladelphia in 1787. The Constitution describes the powers of the national government and the powers of the state governments.   

  The US government is like a tree with a strong trunk and three branches. The trunk is the people. It holds up the tree. People choose the men who make American laws. The first branch on the tree of government is the Congress. The Congress is a meeting of representatives from all states. The people elect those representatives. The Congress makes the laws that everybody must obey.     The Congress is divided into two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Every state sends two people to the Senate. These people are senators. There are 100 senators in the Senate. A senator's term is 6 years. Each state also sends people to the House of Representatives. They are called congressmen or congresswomen. All in all there are 435 congressmen in the House of Representatives. A representative's term is two years. One important power of the Congress is the power to declare war. 

The second branch of government in the US is the President and its helpers. They carry out the laws that the Congress makes. The President signs bills and then they become laws. The President's term is 4 years, and one can be President for one or two terms. Americans vote for the president in November of every leap year.  

The third branch of government is the Supreme Court. There are 9 judges in it. They have to make sure that the President and the Congress follow the Constitution. The judges work in the Supreme court as long as they live.

 The people of the USA can change the Constitution. Changes in the Constitution are called amendments. There are 27 amendments to the Constitution. The first 10 amendments to the Constitution are called the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights guarantees to people of the USA freedom of press, freedom of religion, the right to go to court, have a lawyer, and some others. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

 - what official symbols you know.  

    I'd like to give a talk about the USA. The USA is the 4th largest country in the world. It is situated in central North America, between Canada (in the north) and Mexico (in the south). The USA has a sea-border with Russia. The USA is washed by the Pacific Ocean in the west, by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, by the Carribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. In the north are Great Lakes.  The size of the country is really very large. Thanks to its size, the country has almost every kind of climate, scenery and people. One can see rocky coasts, dry empty deserts, big rivers, wide plains and grasslands, lakes of all sizes, high mountains, great forests, sunny beaches, lands of endless winter. There are a lot of parks, and wildlands where you can enjoy the beauty and power of wild America. The Grand Canyon, Yosemity Valley, and Yellowstone are among them. The longest river is the Mississippi.  The famous mountain chains are the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians.

    There are 50 states in the USA. Two of these states, Alaska and Hawaii, are not connected to the other states. The capital of the USA is Washington, D.C. It is situated on a special territory which doesn't belong to any state - District of Columbia. 

   I know some official symbols of the country. One of them is the eagle. It holds arrows and an olive branch. The olive branch and arrows are symbols for the power of peace and war. The eagle symbolizes power.  Another symbol is the American flag. It is called "The Stars and Stripes". The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the 13 British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the US. There is another symbol. It is the Statue of Liberty. It is situated on Liberty Island in New York Harbour in New York City. It was the gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States.  

I'd like to visit the USA because the country is full of natural wonders. Besides, there are a lot of great cities where one can see many attractions.

 That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

Give a talk on Wales. 

Remember to say:  

 - where Wales is situated and what parts it consists of;

  

 - what symbols of Wales you know; 

-  why Wales is visited by millions of tourists.

     I' d like to give a talk about Wales. 

It is a country that is

 

part of theUnited Kingdom and the island of Great 

Britain. It borders on England in the east, is washed by the Irish Sea in the north and

 west and the Bristol Channel in the south. Wales has got a lot of mountains. The

 

highest mountain is Snowdon. The country has a changeable maritime climate. It is

 divided into South Wales and North Wales. The south  of the country is more

 populated than the north. Two-thirds of the population live in and around Cardiff, its

 capital and largest city. There are two official languages - Welsh and English. One of 

the national symbols of Wales is the flag with the Red Dragon on it. The national

 flower is the daffodil, the patron saint is St. David, the national anthem is "Land of 

my Fathers". The dragon symbolizes power and strength.

    Lots of tourists visit Wales every year. There are several reasons for it. Firstly, you

 must visit Cardiff with its beautiful castle. Secondly, you should travel

 to Snowdonia with its beautiful range of mountains and hills. The most famous peak

 is Snowdon. Snowdonia National Park is also one of the most popular hiking and 

climbing destinations in Britain. You must also see Caenarfon Castle. It is one of the 

largest castles in the country. Besides, you can go to Llandudno, it is the largest 

seaside resort town inWales. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

Card № 3  

You are to give a talk about the UK. 

Remember to say:    

- where the UK is situated and what it is washed by;  

- what parts the UK consisits of and what their capitals are; 

- who the power in the country belongs to.   

 I'd like to give a talk about the UK. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The country is situated in the British Isles. So, the UK is an island state. The two main islands are Great Britain and Ireland. The two islands are separated by the Irish Sea. The UK is separated from the continent by the English Channel and the Straits of Dover. The UK is also washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the north and by the North Sea in the east.   

   The UK consists of four parts which are England, Scotland, Walesand Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiffand Belfast. The flag of the United Kingdom is known as the Union Jack. It is made up of three crosses: the cross of St. George (the patron saint of England), the cross of St. Andrew (the patron saint ofScotland) and the cross of St. Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland). 

 In Britain the Queen is the head of state, but in fact, she doesn't rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is the symbol of the country, its history and traditions. She travels about the United Kingdom, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. The Queen of Great Britain is also the Head of the Commonwealth and the Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 

But the real power in the UK belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government. The British Parliament has two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The members of the House of Commons are elected. The British people elect 650 members of the House of Commons every five years. The members of the House of Lords are not elected, they are selected. These members are permanent. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice;
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh!

You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All…

Deck the halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la


See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la


Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

He has a red, red coat

He has a red, red coat
And a red, red hat,
His boots are black
And he carries a sack.
He has a twinkle in his eye
And a friendly smile,
And his name is Santa Claus

One more time!

He has a red, red coat
And a red, red hat,
His boots are black
And he carries a sack.
He has a twinkle in his eye
And a friendly smile,
And his name is Santa Claus

Let's hear it again now ...

And his name is Santa Claus.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree Rockin' around the Christmas tree, at the christmas party hop, Mistletoe hung where you can see, Every couple tries to stop. Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring, Later we'll have some pumpkin pie, And we'll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear, Voices singing, "Let's be jolly, Deck the halls with bows of holly". Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Have a happy holiday, Everyone dancin' merrily, In the new old-fashioned way. Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring, Later we'll have some pumpkin pie, And we'll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear, Voices singing, "Let's be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly". Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Have a happy holiday, Everyone dancin' merrily, In the new old-fashioned way.

London - the Capital of the UK

I'd like to speak about London which is the largest city as well as the capital of England and United Kingdom. It is located on the bank of  River Thames. The city attracts millions of visitors as, on the one hand, it is an ancient  city which has seen a lot of historical events, but, on the other hand, it is a modern city with lots of places of entertainment and world's famous shopping centers. 

Though it is an old city, it has become one of the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centers. It influences politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts and is a global city. 

    Besides, London has got some famous tourist attractions such as The Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St.Margaret's Church; the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
If you are going on a tour of London, you should visit The Tower of London first. It is one of the most famous fortresses in the world. It is a 900-year old royal palace and fortress, housing a prison, place of execution (killing criminals), mint, arsenal, zoo and jewel house. 
The place of great interest is, I'm sure, Madam Tussauds, which brings you face to face with the world's most known faces. It holds life-size wax models of well-known celebrities of the world. 
   Another worth visiting attraction here is the London Eye. It is the world's highest observation wheel and offers spectacular views of over 55 of London's most famous landmarks. 
 Besides, St.Paul's Cathedral is the seat of Bishop of London and is popular with visitors. 
 London also offers a number of museums to be visited. British Museum exhibits (shows) works dating from the prehistoric era to the present times, collected from all over the globe. Next is the National Gallery, which houses the greatest collection of paintings in the world. Its collection includes works of Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Turner, Cezanne and Van Gogh. Apart from this, Natural History Museum displays  a collection of the biggest, tallest and rarest animals in the world. 
  Moreover, London has got a large number of parks and gardens. The largest parks located in the central part of the city are the Royal Parks of Hyde Park. 
  London can be called an entertainment hub (center), as it offers so much to its visitors. The nightlife of the city is extremely hip and rocking. There are a number of bars, clubs, restaurants and galleries. You can do the shopping at Oxford Street, which is the longest shopping street in the world. 
New Words: 

1. event  -  событие 
2. entertainment  -  развлечение 
3. leading - ведущий 
4. influence - влиять
