Traveling in English – Traveling (topic / essay with translation)

Project implementation:

I would start my journey with the cities that arose in modern times.

For example, from Novosibirsk.

This city appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, and it can be classified as a city of modern times.

Novosibirsk is a large city with a population of 1.6 million people.

The main attractions of Novosibirsk are the oceanarium, the opera and ballet theater, the local history museum, and the arboretum.

From Novosibirsk you can go to St. Petersburg.

This city was founded by Peter the Great in 1703, that is, at the beginning of the 18th century.

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

It has many unique palaces, cathedrals, and drawbridges across the Neva.

The main attractions of St. Petersburg are the Peter and Paul Fortress and the Winter Palace.

Project “Travel around the world”

Project “Travel around the world”

Project: medium duration, group, creative - exploratory.

Every country, every people should have its own traditions, holidays, customs, and culture. There is no country on our planet where they do not honor and remember their history, their ancestors, morals and customs.

Over the course of several months, we implemented the project “Travel to the Countries of the World”.

The children were very interested in playing “travel” games, during which they learned something new about other countries.

In our work, we involved parents in cooperation, together we prepared for classes based on the results of the trip (they sewed costumes for the theater, taught children dances from different countries, studied history, traditions, and culture).

Relevance: To introduce children to the culture, customs, traditions, literature of the peoples of different countries and, of course, tolerance. Today, the values ​​and principles necessary for common survival and free development are brought to the fore (the ethics and strategy of non-violence, the idea of ​​tolerance for foreign and foreign positions, values, cultures, the idea of ​​dialogue and mutual understanding, the search for mutually acceptable compromises, etc.). The problem of tolerance can be classified as an educational problem. The problem of communication culture is one of the most acute in kindergartens, and in society as a whole. Understanding perfectly well that we are all different and that we must perceive another person as he is, we do not always behave correctly and adequately. It is important to be tolerant of each other, which is very difficult. “Pedagogy of cooperation” and “tolerance” are concepts without which any transformations in a modern school are impossible. In my opinion, the formation of such qualities as recognition by a person of another, acceptance, understanding would make it easier to solve the problem of cultivating tolerance.

“Traveling through countries” allowed us to use different types of activities. The project implied the unity of children and adults, so parents also became full participants.

Problem: insufficient understanding of children about the countries of the world,

state symbols about the traditions and culture of the people of different countries. Goal: to develop a sense of tolerance in children of senior preschool age. Development of cognitive activity of older preschoolers

in the process of forming geographical ideas. Tasks: 1. Give ideas about different countries of the world. 2. Introduce the culture, sights, and national cuisine of these countries. 3. Carry out work on tolerant education of preschoolers. 4. Cultivate love for people of another nation. 5. Enrich and develop children's vocabulary. 6. Work with parents, involving them in tolerant upbringing in the family.

Resource support:

• Books, magazines, • Internet resources, • Postcards, • Art works and materials.

Project participants:

— Educator, — Children of the preparatory group for school, — Parents of students.

Achieving the goal is carried out through solving the following tasks:

1. Form a holistic picture of the world. Expand children's horizons

(children’s acquaintance with different countries of the world, with state

symbols: coat of arms, flag, with indigenous people and their hobbies);

2. Develop cognitive - research and productive

activity;

3. Form gender, family, civic affiliation,

patriotic feelings, feelings of belonging to the world community;

4. Foster tolerance, a sense of respect for other peoples, their

traditions

Expected results: by the end of the school year the child will know and

understand:

• that besides Russia there are other countries;
• have an idea of ​​the flag, coat of arms of several countries;
• have an idea about the hobbies of peoples of different countries;
• that the flora and fauna in each country is diverse and

has its own characteristics;

• understand the similarities and differences between different countries;
• have basic skills in working with a map and globe.

Results of project activities: exhibitions of children's works (individual, collective works); children's presentations, open events.

The project was implemented over two months.

To create an album on the topic “Traveling around the countries of the world,” we needed the help of parents; we gave the children, together with their parents, the task of drawing up a particular country on an A3 album sheet, so that we would become acquainted with the flag, coat of arms, national costume, national cuisine, national musical instrument, flora and fauna of a given country, everything that it is rich in. Here are some works designed by children together with their parents. The album turned out great.

Now we will go overseas and visit the city of New York.

It is one of the largest cities in the United States, which lies on numerous islands off the east coast of America.

The largest and most famous of them is Manhattan Island, the historical center of the city.

The symbol of New York is the Statue of Liberty.

New York was founded in the early 17th century, in 1624, by English settlers.

Let's return to Western Europe.

In 810 the city of Hamburg was founded.

This is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, with many theaters, churches and palaces.

Hamburg is a seaport and in the Middle Ages it was one of the centers of European trade.

The eternal city of Rome is located in Italy.

It was founded in the 8th century BC.

It is a monument city that houses the famous Colosseum and St. Paul's Cathedral.

In the center of Rome is the Vatican City, a region-state in which the residence of the Pope, the head of all Catholics, is located.

In the square in front of the Vatican is the most famous fountain in Europe - Trevi.

We will end our journey into the past in the Greek city of Athens.

Historians still do not know the exact time when this city was founded.

They name the date – 7th millennium BC. Athens is one of the oldest cities on the entire planet.

And this is a very beautiful city.

In the center of Athens, on a hill lies the Acropolis, an ancient temple complex topped by the ruins of the famous Parthenon.

Conclusion:

There are a variety of cities in the world, very ancient and very young.

But each city has its own history, its own attractions and each is beautiful in its own way.

Each one contains people who love their hometown and are proud of it.

There is so much beauty and wonder in the world!

Presentation on the topic “Millionaire Cities”

Presentation on the topic “Millionaire Cities” on geography in powerpoint format. This presentation for schoolchildren tells about the 10 largest cities in the world.

Fragments from the presentation

Tokyo

This city is one of the most seismically dangerous in the world. It suffered several powerful earthquakes: in 1703, 1782, 1812, 1855 and 1923. An interesting feature is that it includes many islands, including some very remote from the city center. It is one of the three most important global financial giants, as well as a leader in the implementation of modern technologies.

NY

This city is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, where the world's most famous attractions are concentrated - the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the Metropolitan Opera, the American Museum of Natural History, the UN headquarters, the legendary Chelsea Hotel. It is the most important economic center of the United States and the world. The headquarters of the main US television companies - CBS, NBC and BBC - are located here, and there are more than 100 registered radio stations.

Mexico City

The population of this city is 19.7 million people. More than half of the population are mestizos of Spanish-Indian origin, about 20% are direct descendants of Indians, the rest are Europeans. The city was founded in 1325, but was almost completely destroyed in the 16th century after being captured by the Spanish conquerors. The revived city was built on sand and swamps, there was a lot of water under it, so the houses leaning against each other, sagging and rickety, are the calling card of this city.

Delhi

This city is famous for its slums (spontaneously built urban areas consisting of dilapidated, poorly maintained housing). But despite this, this city is one of the most economically developed cities in its country (the highest level of consumption, a leading position in the field of information technology, the best transport and infrastructure). This city is located at the junction of different civilizational zones - Hindu and Islamic - this makes it a conglomerate of cultural traditions of numerous peoples.

Los Angeles

One of the world's largest cultural, scientific, economic and educational centers. But the most famous “calling card” of the city is still the production of films and television programs. In addition to a number of “Hollywood” film studios, a number of film institutions are based in the city, including the American Academy of Film Arts and the American Film Institute. A large number of major film festivals are held here.

Buenos Aires

This city was founded in 1536 by the Spanish conquistador Pedro Mendoza on the southern shore of La Plata Bay. It is a city of colorful festivals, national holidays and sporting events. The widely known dance “tango” originates from the outskirts of this city, because it was here that it became widespread among the poorer sections of the population. This city is also famous for its football achievements; in 1978, the final match of the World Cup was held here.

Moscow

This city has a long history and a large number of “nicknames” - Third Rome, White Stone, Golden-Domed, Mother See. According to the latest cartographic studies, there are 17 settlements in the United States with this name.

Beijing

This city amazes analysts with the pace of its development, and progress is only gaining momentum and increasing intensity. It is a major innovation center, as well as a leader among cities in its country in the field of entrepreneurial activity. Despite the wars and turmoil of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including damage caused by European invasion, Japanese occupation and the Cultural Revolution, many sites with ancient history remain. The most famous of them are the Gate of Heavenly Peace, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven.

Cairo

It is the largest city on the African continent and the largest in the Arab world. Here you can see a unique picture. Imagine you are driving along a busy street in a city with a population of millions. And suddenly, among the familiar city landscape, above dilapidated houses, small shops and green palm trees, one of the Seven Wonders of the World rises. Another completely unique feature of this city is that there are only 9 traffic lights throughout its entire territory - drivers drive through red lights quite calmly.

Sao Paulo

The city's area is 1,523 km² and its population is 20 million, making it the most populous in the Southern Hemisphere. The architectural image of the city is created by a mixture of different eras and styles. Many ancient buildings, museums and churches have been preserved here. At the same time, it is one of the most modern cities; most of it is built up with skyscrapers made of glass and metal. This is a paradise for sports fans. The Pacaembu stadium is widely known, where the famous Pele, the “king of Brazilian football,” often performed. Much attention from motorsport fans is paid to the Interlagos race track. Until 2009, this is where the Formula 1 world championship usually ended.
