II.Слово учителя
Good morning, dear guests, good morning my dear children, good morning my
dear friends. I am glad to meet you here in my classroom and now we begin to
work. Today we'll have an unusual lesson because today is a roundtable talk.
When we hear Alabama, California, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi,
Washington we understand that we speak about America. It's a very beautiful
country with its nature and people, with its history and culture. The USA is a
highly developed industrial, political and cultural country. The history of each
country begins with its discovery.

Виступления детей
1 й у ч e н ик. In the 15th century people knew only 3 places: Europe, Asia
and Africa. They knew nothing about America. The man who was thought to be
the discoverer of America was born in 1451 in Italy. His name was Christopher
Columbus.
1 Knowing that the earth was round he
decided to reach India by sailing to the
west. It was very difficult for him to or
ganize an expedition as nobody wanted to
help him. At last the Spanish king gave him
some money. In the 1492 he sailed with 3
small ships in to the Atlantic Ocean. They
had been sailing for more than 2 months
and at last they saw land. Columbus was
certain that the lands he discovered were
part of India and he called these islands
"The West Indies". He made 3 voy ages to America. His last voyage was made in
15021504. After that seriously ill he remained in Spain until his death. He died
believing that Cuba was part of Asia. Columbus's voyages gave Europe first
important knowledge of the new world. Many places have been named in his
honour. America however was named after another explorer Amerigo Vespucci.

6 й у ч е н и к . The nature of the country
The Grand Canyon
Last year you read that the Grand Canyon belongs to seven Nature's greatest
wonders. It is formed by one of most important rivers of the Pacific Basin, the
Colorado, with its source in the snowclad mountains. It flows across a plateau
carving a deep gorge edged by craggy walls. This gorge is called the Grand
Canyon.
The Great Lakes
There are many lakes in the USA. Five lakes stand out especially. There are
Lake Superior, Lake
Michigan, Lake Huron,
Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario (find them on the
map). Together they are
called the Great Lakes.
Any of these lakes is
larger than Lake Ladoga,
the largest lake in
Europe. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world. The lakes lie at
different altitudes and are connected by short swift channels.
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are connecter by the Niagara River. Throwing its
waters over a ledge 50 metres high, it forms the great Niagara Falls, which

there.
7 й у ч е н и к . New York
New York is the largest city in the United States and one of the largest cities in
the world. It is situated in natural harbour of the mouth of the Hudson River. In
1626 the Dutch Trade Company brought Manhattan Island from the local Indians
for twenty four dollars. Here the Dutch founded their colony and gave it the name
New Amsterdam. Forty years later the English fleet entered the harbour, captured
the city and renamed it New York.
New York is a city of
"skyscrapers", those
incredible, high buildings
which Americans invented. If
you want to have a good view
of New York you can do it
from the top of the Empire
State Building (112 stories).
Not far from the Empire State
Building there is an interesting architectural ensemble — Rockefeller Centre. It
was built according to one general plan. Rockefeller Centre consists of 15
skyscrapers. Rockefeller Centre houses all kinds of offices, enterprises, theatres
and music halls.
New York is the national leader in business, finance, manufacturing, advertis
ing, fashion and the arts.
New York is often called the cultural capital of the USA. The city has the

8 й у ч е н и к . Washington
The beautiful city of Washingtor is the capital of the United States and.the
centre of its government.The capital was named after the first President George
Washington and was founded in 1790. It is situated on the Potomac River in the
District Columbia. Washington is not the 1argest city in the USA. It has a
population only 900.000.
Washington is the residence of the President and the Congress of the USA.
The White House is the Presdents residence, the Capitol — the seat American
Congress. The largest and the tallest among the buildings is the Capitol with its
great House of Representatives and Senate Chamber. There are no skyscrapers
because no building must be taller than the Capitol. All American presidents
except George Washington (the White House was not yet built in his time) have
lived in the White House. It was built in 1799.
Washington is a large scientific and сultural centre, where there are many
research institutes, five universities; National Academy of Science and the Library

Hill, the Capitol dominates the Washington skyline. The US Congress meets in this
building. Visitors may attend congressional sessions to watch legislators in action.
The Capitol is one of Washington's most magnificent buildings. It is
constructed of white sandstone and marble and crowned by a n impressive dome.
6 On top of the dome stands a bronze Statue of Freedom. Public rooms include the
Rotunda, decorated with paintings and statues of events and people in American
history, and Statuary Hall, which contains statues of distinguished citizens from
every state.

government buildings, among which are the Supreme Court Building, modelled
after a Greek temple and the Library of Congress, one of the largest libraries in the

10 й у ч e н ик. It's interesting to know about the holidays in America.
On July 4, the Americans celebrate their national holiday, Independence Day.
It was declared in 1776. People have picnics with favourite foods like hot dogs,
hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, etc. Lively music is heard everywhere.

1 1 й у ч е н и к . Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in 1621 by English settlers of the Plymouth
colony. During their first winter over half of them died of hunger. But finally the
fields produced a rich harvest and they decided to celebrate it. In 1863 it became
an official holiday.
1 2 й у ч е н и к . Christmas Holiday

Carols.
1 3 й у ч е н и к . About Americans' Food
American food is part British, part Italian, part German, part Mexican, part
Chinese, part Ukrainian... When people from other countries came to live in the
USA. they brought different cooking traditions. Some of them opened restaurants
and food stores, and today Americans enjoy food from all over the world.
The USA is famous for fast food. The first fast food restaurants served ham
burgers, but now they serve other kinds of food as well.
Americans eat out a lot and when they go to a restaurant, they don't expect to
be hungry afterwards. Most restaurants will put a lot of food on your plate —
sometimes it can be too much. But if you can't finish it all, don't worry: the waiter
will bring you a "doggy bag" and you can take it home with you.
1 4 й у ч е н и к . Sport in the USA
Sports play such an important role in American life that the sociology of sports,
sports medicine, and sports psychology have become respectable specializations.
Many Americans jog every day, or play tennis or bridge two or three times a
week.
8 American football derives from the English game of rugby. It started at
Harvard University in the 1870's. It is a game for two teams of eleven men on the
field. The object of the game is to have the control of the ball and to score points
by carrying it across the
goalline.
Baseball is a team game derived from the English
game of cricket. It is played with a bat and ball by two
teams of nine players each, on a field with four bases.
Baseball is the national game in the USA and it is very popular in Canada too.
Basketball is a game which nowadays ispopular all over the world. It was in
vented in 1891. During the '20s the first US league championship was organized.
In the 70s the American Championship was divided into two leagues: the ABA
(American Basketball Association), which does not exist any longer and which
played with a blue, red and white ball and the NBA (National Basketball
Association).
T e a c h e r . Thanks a lot. You know much about this country. Maybe you have
some questions. We can speak and tell much else but it is time to finish. All right.
