Hello, boys and girls.
The topic of our today`s lesson is “Scotland – the land of Mountains”.
We are going to learn new words, read the text and discuss some information
about this country.
“He, who has not seen Scotland, does not really know Great Britain”.
(The Scottish saying)
1.Read and translate the text
SCOTLAND
1.General
Information
Population:
5,254,800.
Area: 78,387 square kilometers.
Capital: Edinburgh (with population about 495,360 residents).
Scotland is a country that is a part of the United
Kingdom. Occupying the northern third of the island of Great Britain, it shares
a border with England to the south and is bounded by the North Sea to the east,
the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Chanel and the Irish
Sea to the southwest. In addition to the mainland, Scotland constitutes over
790 islands incusing the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
On 9% of the total population of the UK lives there.
Most of the population in concentrated in an industrial area located in the
central part of the country.
Scotland is divided into the three natural regions:
the Southern Uplands, the Central Lowlands, the Highlands and islands.
2.Regions
The
Highlands, occupying the
northern part of the country of two mountain ranges running roughly
northeast-southwest, the Grampian Mountains and the Northwest Highlands. Both
these are extremely erodes and rounded.
The roughest territory lies along the west coast,
where numerous mountains reach elevations reach elevations of 900 to 1,200 m.
Great Britain`s highest peak is Ben Nevis (1,343 m). The eastern coast is
comparatively.
Throughout the Highlands there are a lot of valleys,
called glens. The Great Glen, known also as Glen More, is a narrow,
lake-studded valley stretching from coast to coat. Most of the highland region,
especially its treeless, is thinly populated.
The
Southern Uplands are
situated between the lowlands and the English border. They consist mainly of
gently rounded hills. Elevations in several locations exceed 2,500 feet (760
m). Grassy moors, used extensively for grazing, called much in this part of
Scotland.
As well as the mainland, Scotland has some 790
islands. Its coastline is 16,500 km long, or about 8% of the total coastline of
Europe. Some 97 of Scotland`s islands are inhabited, by a total of just under
100,000 people.
3.Water
The Clyde, which flows through Glasgow to the Atlantic
Ocean, is Scotland`s river, for it provides a major waterway through the
industrial heat of the country. Almost all the other principal rivers flow to
the North Sea, mainly from the Highlands.
Among them are the Spey, the Tay, the Forth, and the
Tweed rivers. Lakes, known as lochs, abound in the Highlands. Some of them,
especially Loch Lomond, have been made famous by Scottish literature and
legends. Loch Ness, a deep, narrow lake in the Greet Glen, is reputedly the
home of a sea monster.
Numerous bays, sounds, and long, narrow arms of the
sea, also called lochs, indent the Scottish coast, particularly the
island-studded west coast. There are also broad river estuaries, or firths; the
most notable are the Firth of Clyde, Firth of Forth, Firth of Tay, Moray Firth,
and Solway Firth.
4.Climate
Scotland lies some 600 to 1,200 km farther north than
the most northerly point in the United States, excluding Alaska.
Its climate, however, is moderate because of the
tempering of the ocean. Except in the high mountains, temperatures average
about 2oC to 4oC in January and 13oC to 16oC
in July. Rarely is the weather either very hot or cold.
Rains, drizzles, mists, and long cloudy periods make
Scotland one of the most humid and overcast parts of Britain.
In general, precipitation increases from east to west
– from less than 25 inches (635 mm) annually on some parts of the east coast to
more than 150 inches (3,810 mm) in the high western mountains.
Most of the country, however, receives from 35 to 65
inches (890 to 1,650 mm), depending on location. Except in the loftiest parts
of the Highlands, snows are light and infrequent.

Hello, boys and girls.
Today we are going to
speak about England.
Your task is to read and
to translate these short texts, do crosswords, watch video and put 10 questions
in written form.
What's the difference between Great Britain and
the United Kingdom? What's the best English music festival? And do English
people really drink a lot of tea? Read about England and find out!
England is the biggest
of the four countries in the United Kingdom. Together with Scotland and Wales,
these three countries are the island of Great Britain. The English Channel
is in the south between England and France. People travel to France by ferry
across the English Channel or by train through the Channel Tunnel which goes
under the sea.
Over 50 million people
live in England and that’s around 80 per cent of the total UK population. It is
a multicultural country where more than 250 languages are spoken in the capital
city, London. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, which means that
there is a queen or king but they don’t make the laws of the country. Laws and
political decisions in England are made by the Parliament of the United
Kingdom. The Houses of Parliament are in central London next to the River
Thames and the most famous part is the clock tower, Big Ben.
Other large cities in England are Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and
Bristol. Outside cities, England is a very green country and has many rural
areas of natural beauty such as the Lake District, an area with lots of lakes
in the north, and the New Forest, a big area of forest in the south of the
country.
Language
The official language of
England is English, which is spoken today by millions of people all over the
world. Many students go to England from other countries to study the language
and learn about the culture. Although everyone speaks English, there are many
different accents around the country. French was the official language in
England between 1066 and 1362, which is why there are many French words and
expressions in English such as ‘bon voyage’ for ‘have a good trip’ or ‘bouquet’
for ‘a bunch of flowers’.
Music
English people love
music. In the summer you can go to music festivals all over the country like
those at Glastonbury, Leeds or Reading. Glastonbury is a five-day festival of
music, dance, comedy, theatre and circus and around 175,000 people go. Many
people stay at the festivals for a few days and camp in tents. People listen to
all types of music, especially pop and rock. England has produced many
international groups and singers like the Beatles, Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, Ed
Sheeran and Adele.
Sport
The most popular sports
in England are football, rugby and cricket and most towns have a sports ground
where teams can play. English football teams like Manchester United, Chelsea
and Liverpool are world-famous and English football players include David
Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane. Women’s football is also popular and
teams play in leagues and competitions all over the country. Every year, the
English rugby union team play in the Six Nations Championship against Wales,
Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy. Cricket is a traditional sport played with
a bat and ball which began in England and is now played all over the world.
People like to watch all these sports on television, as well as other sports
like horse racing, tennis, snooker (a type of billiards) and motor racing.
Food
England is a very
multicultural country and this has a big influence on the food people eat.
Indian, Chinese and Italian cuisines are popular alternatives to traditional
English food like fish and chips, roast beef or sausage and mash (mashed
potatoes). Many English people drink several cups of tea every day, usually
with milk. However, coffee and herbal teas are also popular.
Symbols
The national flag of
England is white with a red cross. It is called the St George’s Cross and Saint
George is the patron saint of England. St George’s Day is on 23 April, but it’s
not a public holiday. The rose is the national flower of England and the lion
is the national animal. The lion is a symbol of many English sports teams.
