Рефлексия и подведение итогов урока. Our class lasted only 45 minutes, but we have managed to make a delightful trip and have been to many gorgeous sights all over the world. The main idea I want you to remember is that each country has its own wonders. But can such wonders belong only to one country? It seems they should be the whole world’s possessions. Can the world we live in be somebody’s property? No, it’s unique, it’s our home, and we are bound to respect everything that is around us both natural and man-made. Life is the greatest gift and the most incredible wonder our planet gives us. I want you to keep it in mind and be respectful, caring and merciful people! Слайд 16
