ЛИНГВОСТРАНОВЕДЧЕСКИИ КОНКУРС

В лингвострановедческом конкурсе "How different the world is!" мы хотели показать, как, используя достаточно традиционную форму, можно наполнить ее различным содержанием, включая материал, изученный на уроках в течение учебного года.

Основой для данного конкурса послужили материалы УМК "The World of English" для X-XI классов (авторы: В.П. Кузовлев, Н.М. Лапа, Э.Ш. Перегузова и др.). Конкурс проводился между двумя командами учащихся XI класса.

Teacher: Dear friends! You'll have several tasks where for a right answer you'll get one point. At the end of the competition the jury will count all the points. The most active participants showing the best knowledge of the material will be awarded. Good luck to you!

I. The first task.

More than five billion people live in some 200 different countries and territories of the world which are full of interesting places and sights to visit.

Now each team will be given five cards with places of interest in English-speaking countries. Your task is to explain what the chosen place is famous for and what about it attracts you most of all.
