Look. What can you see here? (Appendix 1)

Yes, you are right. The planet we live on is full of unique buildings, magnificent cathedrals, ancient churches, wonderfull mosques, beautifull statues. Unfortunately some of them haven't been preserved. Today we try to remember the world historical monuments calling wonders.

Now look at the board and read the theme of our lesson. Let's translate it. At the end of the lesson we try to answer the question "What are your new wonders of the world?"

Pupils read these words after their teacher. Pupils try to pronounce these words correctly.

2)Translate them from English into Russian, from Russian into English (ABBY Lingvo Tutor Unite 9 Lesson 1- 4 )

IV. Lexical activities.

3) Grammar activities.

I would like to check how well you have remembered the story. Mind our grammar. Look at the board to remember the forming of the Passive Voice. (Appendix 5)

*Where was the Colosseum founded?

*The Great Wall is very old. Do you think it will be restored? Where is it situated?
