6. Чтение текста.
T. You have texts on your desks. Read them, please.
The discovery of America.
In our days everybody knows what the “America” means. First of all it is the name of the country – the United States of America – or just America. And then America is the name of the two continents – North America and South America. These two continents, North and South America, form the part of the world called America.
Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492.
He was born in Italy but lived in Spain for a long time. He was a seaman and made many sea voyages. In 1492 the King and Queen of Spain gave him money to go to India. He decided to sail west as he was sure that our planet was round. And after sailing 4000 miles, he reached some land. Columbus thought that it must be India but it was not. People began to speak about the land as “the New World”.
The Native Americans (Indians)
The Native Americans (Indians) were peaceful people. When the ships approached to the shores of the continent the native men and women naked and full of wonder ran to look at the strange big boats. They ran to greet them, and took food, water and gifts to them. Later Columbus reported to the Queen and the King of Spain “The Indians are so naïve, that when you ask for something they have, they never say no”.
The nature of America was also unlike the one in Europe. Columbus and his people had no conception about tomatoes, potatoes, sunflower, cocoa, peanuts, tobacco, and maize and so on.
Turkey was first taken to Europe on board of a Turkish ship that`s why this bird is called turkey.
Amerigo Vespucci
The country and the continent are named after the Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci instead of the Italian navigator Christopher Columbus. Because Vespucci was the one who realized that it was not India at all, but an entirely new continent. Columbus found the new world, but Vespucci was the man who recognized that it was a new world.
All this leads us to ask, "Who really discovered America?" Was it the person who first found it or the person who first recognized it for what it was?

10. Физкультминутка .
T. American children often learn their history with poems and songs . Let’s listen to one of them and sing it along:
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunlight, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to guide his way..
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men sailed while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others sailed the ocean deep.
Day by day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.(2 times)
