Final Lesson 'A Virtual Trip to Wales'

 

A VIRTUAL TRIP TO WALES

Today we're  going to make a virtual trip to 

WALES

Some people argue there're no big cities, 

no picturesque scenery,

 

no interesting facts on the history of the 

country. 

But though visitors don't need passports 

to cross the border from England into Wales 

they soon realize they're entering a country 

with its geography, culture, traditions and language. 

What have you already heard about Wales?

What are the symbols of Wales?

St.David's the patron saint of Wales.

The red dragon is the symbol that can be found on its flag. 

THE LEEK

&THE DAFFODIL

are also its

symbols, worn by the Welsh on St.David's Day. 

Use the WORD CLOUD 

& share your associations with WALES,

called CYMRU by THE WELSH, 

a word which has the same root as 'camrador' (friend. comrade).

 and North Wales.

Now let's  follow mountain paths for miles and miles

One tourist has a question

 

Will we climb

 the highest moumtain peak in

 Wales, called SNOWDON (1085 metres high)?

Don't worry

SNOWDON looks very peaceful but 

we won't climb it

 

Can you answer why we won't climb 

Mount Snowdon?

Every year climbers get lost in bad

 weather or 

fall and injure themselves there. 

We wouldn't like the Mountain Rescue Service 

to look for us. 

Let's take a little train running to the top of SNOWDON
