After they have found their partners, students read the descriptions in pairs using dictionaries if necessary. Tell learners to make a note of all the new words they come across in their vocabulary notebooks. But first ask them which words are important to write as new ones to their minds, and only then you can add some words from the list:
Steppe - степь
desert – пустыня
semi-desert полупустыня
lake - озеро
pine forests – сосновые леса
birch groves – березовые рощи

As the continuation of this activity each pair is given a map of KZ with no names to put the labels on it, and then discuss which areas they have been to
- Akmola
- Aktyube
- Almaty
- Atyrau
- Karaganda
- Kostanai
- Kyzylorda
- Mangistau
- Pavlodar
- North Kazakhstan

In ppt you can show the real map of KZ with names to check their answers, add any information they know about the place. Learners then write a short description of approximately 10 – 15 words for each area based on the description given, but in their own words. Monitor and offer support, giving learners plenty of timе (here you may mention about the 8W8 objective to achieve)
Reading and speaking
First ask if learners know what world heritage sites (Объекты всемирного наследия) are and if they know any examples. Let them write the definition in their copybooks.
World heritage site is a natural or man-made site, area, or structure recognized as being of outstanding international importance and therefore as deserving special protection. Sites are nominated to and designated by the World Heritage Convention (an organization of UNESCO).
Ask if learners are familiar with Google Earth and Google Street View
If learners are not familiar with this, take the time to show them
Before you show the video, ask them to think about what the man believes is important about world heritage sites. Show the video of world heritage sites which uses Google Street View (see learning resources) to help people all over the world view world heritage sites.
Learners
