T: Hello, Students!

The theme of our lessons has been “The world of travelling” so far. We’ve read

we are going to learn something really very special and check some skills that you

please. Can you name at least some of them? Who can?

Ps:

1) The Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops), built c. 2560 B.C., is the

oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis near Cairo, Egypt. It is believed the pyramid was built

as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period. The

Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally the Great Pyramid

was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface.

2) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present-day Al

Hillah, Babil in Iraq. They were built by Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BCE. He is reported to have constructed the

gardens to please his sick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia.

The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century B.C.

3) The Lighthouse of Alexandria

The Lighthouse of Alexandria (or The Pharos of Alexandria) was a tower built in the 3rd century BC

(between 285 and 247 BC) on the island of Pharos in Alexandria, Egypt to serve as that port's landmark, and later, its

lighthouse.With a height estimated at between 115 and 135 m, it was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the

Ancient World. It may have been the third tallest building after the two Great Pyramids (of Khufu and Khafra) for its

entire life.

4) The Statue of Zeus at Olympia

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was made by the Greek sculptor of the Classical period, Phidias, about 432

BC on the site where it was erected in the temple of Zeus, Olympia, in Greece. The seated statue, some 12 meters tall,

occupied the whole width of the aisle of the temple built to house it. "It seems that if Zeus were to stand up, he would

unroof the temple." The sculpture was made of ivory and gold-plated bronze. It was destroyed by the fire. No copy has

survived.

2) The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis, also known as Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to Artemis completed

around 550 BC at Ephesus (in present-day Turkey) under the Achaemenid dynasty of the Persian Empire. Only

foundations and sculptural fragments remain from the temple.

5) The Colossus of Rhodes

The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek god Helios, erected on the Greek island of Rhodes by

Chares of Lindos between 292 and 280 BC. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Before its

destruction, the Colossus of Rhodes stood over 30 meters (107 ft) high, making it one of the tallest statues of the

ancient world.

4) The Tomb of Mausolus

The Tomb of Mausolus, Mausoleum of Mausolus or Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a tomb built between

353 and 350 BC at Halicarnassus (present Bodrum in Turkey) for Mausolus, a provincial king in the Persian Empire,

and Artemisia II of Caria, his wife and sister. It stood approximately 45 meters in height.

3) (After listening students are sitting at the computers and are doing the tasks

to check their comprehension of the stories. )

T: Do the tasks to check your comprehension of the stories. Open Folder «Teaching

programmes» and launch the programme “Listening test”. What will you have to

do?

P5: Read the names of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (1-7) and match

them with their descriptions (a-g).

T: You will have only 5 minutes to fulfill the task.

4) But just after the text you must do one more test to check your reading skills.

Do you know that there are New Seven Wonders of the World? This test in reading

will help you to know about them. (The test is on the computers but the texts are also

printed.)

5) You, experts, while 9 students are doing the task on the computers, are doing

the individual task: speaking in the format of NEF, Task C4. The topic of the

dialogue is “Spending holidays”.
