The epigraph of our outclass activity is: Knowledge is power. And I present you the English saying which is the addition to our epigraph: The more we learn, the more we know, the more we know, the cleverest we get.

• II.Presentation of the teams

My name Baikenova Ainur. I’m the captain of the first team. I am a pupil of the 9th form. Our team is called “Lions”. Lion is the tsar of all animals living on the Earth. This is a very strong and proud animal. In fights lions always win. We took this animal as the emblem of our team because we also want to win in the fair contest. I’m sure that the victory will be ours.

My name is Gaziz Meiramov. I’m the captain of the second team. I’m a pupil of the 8th form. Our team is called “Eagles”. Eagle is presented on the flag of Kazakhstan. Eagle is very strong and proud bird. It never eats dead meat. The steppe eagle symbolizes generosity and sharp- sightedness and good intentions of the people of Kazakhstan. I believe in my team and I hope that we win in the honest contest.

• III.Presentation of the country

The captain of “Lions” Baikenova tells about Great Britain.

Great Britain is situated in the north-west coast of Europe between the Atlantic Ocean on the north and north-west and the North sea on the east.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of four parts. They are: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK lies on the British Isles. There are 5500 islands. The two of them are the main islands. They are Great Britain and Ireland. They are separated from the continent by the English Channel and Strait of Dover. The west coast of the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea.

The United Kingdom is one of the smallest country in the world. It is twice smaller France or Spain. Its area is 224100 square km. The population of Great Britain is over 57 million. The population lives mostly in towns and cities and suburbs. Great Britain is not rich in natural resources. Coal and oil are the most of them. The UK is one of the most industrialized country. British people grow wheat, oats, fruit and vegetables.

Gaziz Meiramov tells us about Kazakhstan.

The Republic of Kazakhstan is situated in Central Asia. The area of Kazakhstan is 2753000 square km. Its population is 16870000. The population lives mostly in towns and cities and large villages. The largest cities are Almaty. Karaganda, Shimkent, Pavlodar and Astana. Astana is the capital of the country. Astana is situated in the central part of the country. Kazakh is the official language of the country. Russian and other languages are spoken here too.

Kazakhstan is the largest state in the Central Asia. It extends 1900 km from the Volga river in the west to the Altai Mountains in the east and 1300 km from the Siberia Plain in the north to the Central Asia deserts in the south. Kazakhstan borders China, Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kirghizia. There is a long border coast line on the Caspian Sea in the south-west.

There are a few rivers and lakes in Kazakhstan. The four rivers are the main water resources of water in the country. They are Irtysh in the East, Syr-Darya in the south-west, Ili in the south-east and Ural in the north-west of the country. The largest lakes are Balkhash. Zaisan, Ala-Kol and Tenguiz. The flora and fauna of the country are different. They depend on the climate of the country. They are poorer in the north and richer in the south. The climate of the Republic is strong continental. Kazakhstan has well- developed heavy industry. Some regions of the country suffer from serious environmental problems. Agriculture also takes an important sector in the national economy. The people of the country grow wheat, oats, barley, millet and cotton.

• IV.Presentation of the Flag of the United Kingdom.

Asanov Marat tells about the Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. That’s why the flag of the UK is known as the Union Jack. It is made of three crosses: the Cross of St. George St. Patron of England, the Cross of St. Andrew-St. Patron of Scotland and the Cross of St. Patrick-St. Patron of Ireland.

The captain of Eagles Samal Ospanova tells us about the flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The Flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan is pale-blue panel with the golden Sun and souring eagle in the centre with a stripe of the national ornament along the flagstaff. Dark and pale-blue monochrome of the flag reflects not only adherence of the idea of unification but also reminds of cloudless sky, which always and with everybody was the symbol of peace, calmness and prosperity.

According to the heraldry the blue colour and its shades correspond to such human qualities as honesty, faithfulness and hope. The golden Sun bathing in its rays is the symbol of quietness and wealth and the steppe eagle – generosity and sharp- sightedness, good intentions of the people of Kazakhstan. The author of the flag of Kazakhstan is Shaken Niyazbekov, the artist.

Conclusion. Our travelling is over. I’m sure that you enjoyed it and got much knowledge about Great Britain and Kazakhstan. Love our Motherland – respect our state symbols, customs, traditions. Respect the traditions and customs of other countries, learn their history, culture, geography.
