Карта Лондона) Look at the map .

(учащиеся отвечают с опорой на карту)
T: Let’s imagine that we are going to travel abroad. So, let’s travel around London to choose. At the beginning of the lesson you said people may travel by air, by railway, by sea. But these ways of travelling won’t suit us. And if we choose the London Tube we shan’t be able to see the most wonderful historical sights of this beautiful city, shall we? Of course we may take a trip on a boat along the Thames or go for a drive in a London double-decker or to take a coach tour. I advise you an unusual way to see London.
I mean the London Observation Wheel.
