Pupil1 Dear boys and girls! Teachers and our guests! Welcome to our party! It is devoted to …
Pupil2 Ну, так я і знав: все англійською, а я нічого не розумію. Навіщо мені ця
англійська? Я що до Англії поїду?
Pupil1 А може і поїдеш?
Pupil2 Мені й тут непогано.
Pupil1 Зараз може і непогано. Але згодом, коли станеш дорослим, можливо ти захочеш
подорожувати світом, щоб дізнатися, як живуть люди в інших країнах.
Pupil2 А якщо у мене грошей не буде?
Pupil 1 Ну той не буде, якщо нічого не захочеш вчити. А взагалі, зараз можно
подорожувати і без грошей.
Pupil2 Це ж як?
Pupil1 А інтернет навіщо? Можна познайомитися з своїми однолітками в будь-якій
країні.
Pupil2 Як же я їх зрозумію, якщо вони не знають української мови?
Pupil1 Тож для цього і треба вчити англійську мову, бо нею спілкуються в усьому світі.
Що не віриш? Сьогодні ми завітаємо до англомовних країн та сподіваюся
дізнаємося багато цікавого. Тож дивись!

3. Шерлок Холмс та Ватсон виходять та сідають за стіл. Шерлок відкриває газету, палить трубку.
Заходить Місіс Хатсон, заносить чай.
Місіс Хатсон Your breakfast, sirs!
Ватсон Thank you, Mrs Hutson. Is there anything interesting in the morning papers, Sherlock?
Холмс Everything is as usual: crimes, robberies and murders.
Ватсон Is everything so terrible?
Холмс I don't know, Dear Watson. I'm reading only criminal pages.
Ватсон Oh? Come on, Holmes. Look, what a wonderful day is going to be!
Хомс I'm not sure.
Місіс Хатсон A visitor to you, Mr Holmes!
(швидко заходить Мери Попинс)
Мери Попинс Good morning, sirs! You've, of course, recognized me.
Холмс OK! Let me see. Oh, you are a secretary of my brother Micheal.
Мери Попинс (образливо) No. I am a
superteacher
I teach kids all day long
I read and ask
And give them task
To sing with me the
song.
Ватсон Of course! You are Mary Poppins.
Мери Попинс Yes, gentlemen. We've got into
troubles. You should help!
Холмс Don't worry! What's the matter?
Мери Попинс Hush! It's a secret! The crown
jewelries are stolen. And every Englishman knows
it means the end of Great Britain.
Ватсон What? Poor England! It will disappear forever.
Мери Попинс Mr Holmes, you should find the thief and save our Motherland. The thief left a note.
Look!

4. Ватсон (читає лист) Ok! First you should guess the words. Then it must be a story. At last what this
world would be without music?
Холмс Oh! Thereis a puzzle. Very interesting.
You can see with your …
Ватсон Binocular?
Холмс No, Watson! Only four letters. Write down,
Mary, E-Y-E-S
It's elementary, Watson.
Мери Попинс Let's ask pupils for help.
Холмс If you wish…
You can smell with your …(nose)
Another word for nice …(good)
Another word for small … (little)
It's a red or yellow fruit … (apple)
You say it, when you don't agree (no)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday …. What is it?
(day)
Ватсон Look! Here is a hidden word. ENGLAND
Холмс Well done, Watson! Now we should make a story about our country.
Ватсон England is in the central and southern part of Great Britain. It has long history and
interesting traditions. The capital of England is London.
Мери Попинс The symbol of England is a red rose, and English people are crazy about gardening.
Everywhere in England you will see gardens, large and small. The English are also
famous for their love to animals.
Хомс The two oldest and most famous universities in England are in Oxford and Cambridge.
Місіс Хатсон Some of the wildest and most beautiful countryside in England is in the north.
It is very popular with tourists. If you go to Newcastle, you will see Hadrian's Wall.
Roman soldiers built it two thousand years ago.
Ватсон English football is famous of course, but there is another national sport too - cricket.
Some cricket matches continue for five days, and often there isn't even a winner!
Мери Попинс Englishmen are a bit reserved, but very polite.
Холмс We keep our traditions with great honour.
Місіс Хатсон Englishmen are very patriotic.
(song “Oh, sweet England!”)
Oh sweet England how we love you,
The pride of English countryside.
Oh sweet England we'll be with you,
For you to fill us full of pride.
Never in our lifetime could weя leave
you,
Even when you have to go abroad.
We'll be out there looking to support
you
And cheer each golden goal that's
scored

It consists of states.
Its capital is Washington.

A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

Farwell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

have secret pots of gold. If you find a leprechaun, you can look for his gold, but don't look away
from the leprechaun. If you do, he will disappear -and so will the gold! Of course, this is only a
superstition. Hush! Somebody is coming!
(acting)
(the leprechaun is entering the room)
I'm a little leprechaun
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man
That you have seen.
If you ever catch me, so it's told,

fairies. They will help.

they love dancing.
