Ход урока:
I Организационный момент. (2 мин.)
Good morning, boys and girls! How are you getting on? I’m glad that you are fine.
Today we’re going to go on excursions to different parts of our planet. Imagine, that you start
our journey to some mystic places on the earth. Look at the pictures and guess what places are
they and where they are located. Which means of transport do you use travelling there from our
city? We will try to discover some mystic places on our planet at the lesson.
Teacher: Which means of transport do you use while travelling?
Student1: I prefer travelling by airplane. You can travel long distances easily and it’s fun to fly.
Student2: As for me, I like travelling by train because you can see beautiful landscapes from the
windows and enjoy nature. It’s comfortable to travel by plane and you have a good chance to
meet new people and friends.
Student3: I think that the best way to travel is travelling by ship. You can relax and do a lot of
interesting and useful activities on board a ship and see new cities and wonderful places.
II Речевая зарядка. (3 мин.)
The Earth is the planet full of mysteries. What do you know about these places? Let’s start
our travel to such places.
Look at the pictures and tell me what you know about them. What makes these places
mysterious?
Student1: These places are mysterious because they contain the remains of lost civilizations, they
have strange buildings, unusual statues or temples.
Примерные ответы учащихся:
Easter Island: Roggeveen noticed that the island had very few trees or animals: no one knew
why the stone statues had been built or how the stone was carved and transported: may be
climate change is responsible for changing the island- no one knows exactly.
Kailasa Temple: the surface of the rock is covered with symbols and figures.
Machu Picchu: Known as “The Lost City of the Incas”, invisible from below, no one knows
when the life in this city ended, it was forgotten until 1911. It hasn’t been destroyed unlike many
other Inca ruins. It may have once been a royal residence: everything is made perfectly from dry
stone. According to legends, the mountain has magical properties.
Delphi: It was a home of The Oracle, mysterious force said to be the spirit of the god Apollo that
could apparently tell the future, some people say the Oracle is still there.
Teacher: I think you are right. But let’s read the text for specific information.

VIII. Monologues of the students.
Student 1: Easter Island is a beautiful and mysterious place, which is located in the Pacific
Ocean. There was something unusual on this island, a Dutch explorer, Jacob Roggeveen,
noticed. The island had very few trees or animals; there were only a few thousand people, who
lived there. Jacob Roggeveen noticed that there were 887 magnificent stone statues standing
proudly all over the island. These statues are called “moai”, they weigh about 80 tonnes. There is
no information about how they were built and were carved and transported at least 14 miles
across the island. There are two versions on this issue. One theory is that a great civilization built
the statues and cut down the trees to transport them and when the trees were gone, the animals
died out and so did the people. Another theory is that climate change affected the island and its
people.
Student 2: Delphi is one of the most amazing archeological sites in Greece. It was thought to be
the centre of the known world. It was also a spiritual centre for several thousand years, because it
was the home of the Oracle. He predicted the future and answered people’s questions. Many of
the ruins that you can see today, including the Temple of Apollo, the treasures, the gymnasium,
the stadium and the theatre date back to the 5th and 6th centuries BC. Some people say that the
Oracle is still there, and if you listen carefully enough, you may hear it. Etc.

A Lost City
Read the text and complete the gaps.
“The morning 24 of July 1911 dawned in cold drizzle. Arteaga shrived and seemed inclined to
stay in his hut. I offered to pay him well __ he would show me the ruins. He refused and said it
was too hard a climb for such a wet day. But when he found out I was willing to pay more, he
finally agreed to go. When asked where the ruins were, he pointed straight to the _of the
mountain. No one supposed that they would be particularly interesting. And no one cared to go
with me. The naturalist said that there would be “more butterflies near the river!” The surgeon
said he had to wash his clothes and mend them. Anyhow, it was my job to investigate all reports
of ruins and_ to find the Inca capital.
So, accompanied only by Sergeant Carrasco, we left camp at ten o’clock on July 24th. After a
walk of three-quarters of an hour, Arteaga left the main road and plunged down through the
jungle to the bank of the river. Here there was a primitive bridge_ crossed the roaring rapids at
its narrowest part. I confess that got down on my hands and knees and crawled across, six inches
at a time. Leaving the stream, we now struggled up the bank through dense jungle and in a _five
minutes reached the bottom of a very steep slope. For an hour and twenty minutes we had a hard
climb. A good part of the distance we went on all fours… The humidity was great. The heat was
excessive: and I was not in training! There were no ruins of any kind in sight. I began to _my
companions had made the right choice.”
The men met some Indians who told Sergeant Carrasco that the ruins were a little further along
and gave them a little boy to act as their guide .__leaving the hut, they strolled across some pen
ground and went into the forest beyond.
“Suddenly, I found myself confronted with the walls of ruined house built of the finest quality
Inca stone work. It was__ to see them because they were partly covered with trees and
moss…We scrambled along through the dense undergrowth and then …without any warning, the
boy showed me a cave, beautifully lined with the finest cut stone. Clearly, it was the work of a
master artist. It all seemed __ like an unbelievable dream. It fairly took my breath away. What
could this place__ ? Why had no one given us any idea of it?”
The little boy persuaded them to climb up another steep slope.
“Surprise followed surprise in bewildering succession. We found ourselves standing in _ of the
ruins of two of the finest and most interesting structures in ancient America. Made of beautiful
white granite, the walls contained blocks higher __ a man. The sight held me spellbound. Each
building had only three walls and was open on one side. Te principle temple had walls twelve
feet high… The building __ not look as though it ever had a roof so the sun could be welcomed
here by the priests. I could scarcely believe my senses as I examined the larger stones and
estimated that they must weigh ten to fifteen tons each. Would anyone believe what I __ found?
Fortunately, I had a good camera and the sun was shining.”

Students ‘presentations. Which place would you like to visit and why?
I’d like to see Stonehenge. Stonehenge is located in the county of Wiltshire in the UK. I read that
this place has always been surrounded by mystery. It has stood on Salisbury plain for about
4,000 years. No one is certain why it was built. There have been many different theories about its
original use.
One theory is that was a place from where stars and planets could be observed. It was discovered
that the positions of some of the stones related to the movements of the sun and moon, so that the
stones could be used as a calendar to predict such things as eclipses.
At one time, people thought that Stonehenge was a Druid temple. The Druids were a Celtic
religious group who were suppressed in Great Britain soon after the Roman Conquest. Some
people believe that they were a group of priests, while others regard them as medicine-men who
practised human sacrifice and cannibalism.
Another interesting theory is that the great stone circle was used to store terrestrial energy, which
was then generated across the country, possibly through “ley lines’. “Ley lines” is the name
given to invisible lines which link up ancient sites throughout Britain. They were thought to be
tracks by which prehistoric man travelled about the country, but now many people believe that
they are mysterious channels for a specific kind of power.
There are also some local legends…Stonehenge was built by the devil in a single night. He flew
backwards and forwards between Ireland and Salisbury plain carrying the stones one by one and
setting them in place. As he worked, he laughed to himself.” That will make people think.
They’ll never know how the stones came here!” But a friar was hiding in a ditch nearby. He
surprised the devil, who threw a stone which hit the friar on the heel. Is the story true? Well, the
stone which the devil threw known as the “heel stone”, can still be seen by the side of the road.
Perhaps Stonehenge was a Druid temple.it might have been used to store terrestrial energy.
I think it’s a very interesting and amazing place that is worth visiting!
