UK [1]
Il Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna è composto da quattro stati:
•Scotland (Scozia) la cui capitale è Edinburgh (Edinburgo)
•England (Inghilterra) la cui capitale è London (Londra)
•Wales (Galles) la cui capitale è Cardiff
•Northern Ireland (Irlanda del Nord) la cui capitale è Belfast
La capitale del Regno Unito è Londra, mentre la bandiera è la Union Jack,
nata dall’unione delle bandiere locali.
La Scozia è famosa per:
•Il lago di Lochness, nel quale la leggenda narra che vi sia un mostro chiamato Nessie
•La cornamusa, lo strumento musicale nazionale, per suonare la quale gli scozzesi indossano il kilt. Questo gonnellino è formato da un tessuto
chiamato tartan e presenta sul davanti una tasca nella quale gli scozzesi custodiscono una bottiglietta di whisky per riscaldarsi nei freddi inverni
•I castelli, i più belli dei quali si trovano ad Edinburgo
UK [2]
L’Inghilterra è famosa per:
•Buckingham Palace, residenza della Regina Elisabetta,
dove ogni giorno alle 11.30 si assiste al Cambio della Guardia
(le guardie della regina indossano una divisa rossa e nera)
•Il Big Ben, un enorme orologio a Londra
•Il Parlamento, accanto al Big Ben
•La Torre di Londra, che custodisce i gioielli della regina
•Stonehenge, un monumento preistorico del 3000 a. C.,
luogo sacro ed osservatorio di fenomeni astronomici
(qualcuno pensa che quegli enormi massi ve li abbiano messi gli alieni)
Il Galles è famoso per lo stadio di Cardiff
La moneta inglese è la sterlina (POUND), formata da 100 centesimi (PENCE).
Il centesimo è il PENNY
London
Londra è una città verde con molti parchi. Uno dei più importanti è il St James Park,
che si trova vicino a Buckingham Palace ed ha un laghetto con molti uccelli e scoiattoli.
I ragazzi vi trascorrono i pomeriggi facendo picnic, mentre molti impiegati vi trascorrono
la pausa pranzo mangiando sandwich e prendendo il sole.
La London Eye è una ruota panoramica gigantesca che si trova sul fiume Thames, di fronte al Big Ben.
Fu costruita nel 2000 in occasione del millennio ed è la più grande del mondo (135 metri di altezza).
La ruota impiega 30 minuti per compiere un giro completo.
Nel museo delle statue di cera di Madame Tussaud è possibile ammirare
statue di cera di persone famose: attori, cantanti, personaggi politici e
personaggi del mondo dello sport. Il museo fu costruito nel 1835.
La Torre di Londra fu costruita da William il conquistatore accanto al fiume Thames ed era una
fortezza ed una residenza reale. Nel tempo divenne una prigione di stato, un luogo di tortura e di
esecuzione. Nella torre fu decapitata Anna Bolena, moglie di Enrico VIII. Oggi i visitatori vi possono
ammirare i gioielli della corona e collezioni di armature e strumenti di tortura.

Goodbye…
Carissimi! Lavorare con voi è stata un’esperienza entusiasmante. E’ meravigliosa la carica che si sprigiona quando ci sono voglia, volontà,
desiderio di imparare. Ed io lo sento, l’ho avvertito e ne sono felice.
Ho cercato di inserire in questo Cd tutto quello che abbiamo fatto insieme in Inglese: le frasi, le parole e quel po’ di grammatica con la quale
spero di non avervi annoiato troppo.
Manca, però, il cuore del nostro viaggio insieme: mancano le emozioni, gli sforzi, gli ascolti, le mie “prediche”, le vostre insoddisfazioni, le
lacrime, le sfide. Manchiamo, cioè, noi, quello che siamo stati e che siamo ora, quello che abbiamo costruito insieme nel nostro lavoro
quotidiano, nel nostro viaggio insieme. Spero, però, che tutto questo continui a vivere nei ricordi, nella mente come nel cuore. Io vi porto dentro
con affetto e tenerezza. Siete stati i “miei alunni” e stare con voi mi ha arricchita. Per qualcuno di voi sono stata veramente “dura da
sopportare”, ma credetemi quando continuo a ripetere che ho fatto tutto questo affinché capiste che quello che facciamo nella vita ha
un’importanza, “tutto serve”, anche quello che sembra apparentemente inutile. Spero di avervi insegnato l’importanza del dare il meglio di sé in
qualsiasi cosa si faccia, lo spirito di sacrificio, il senso del dovere. Ma spero al di sopra di tutto di avervi trasmesso la passione, l’interesse e la
curiosità nei confronti di una lingua che vi darà di sicuro una marcia in più nel vostro futuro professionale e non.
Starei qui a scrivervi per ore. Ma mi fermo. E’ difficile chiudere questo CD, perché significa “stoppare” la nostra avventura. Come vi ho già
scritto vi porto dentro e lo faccio con una tenerezza ed una gioia infinite. Vi voglio bene.
