IMPRESSION DU MATIN Slide 2
The Themes nocturne of blue and gold
Changed to a harmony in grey
A barge with ochre-colored hay
Dropped from the wharf: and chill and cold.
The yellow fog came creeping down,
The bridges, till the houses’ walls
Seemed changed to shadows, and St-Paul’s
Loomed like a bubble o’ver the town.
Students listen to the poem and learn it.
Students read the words after the teacher and try to pronounce them correctly. Slide3Buckingham Palace
Tower Bridge
Hyde Park
Trafalgar Square
Thames
Hamleys
Madam Tussaud’s
Tower of London

Перевод Вл. Бойко Сменил на Темзе серый лад
Златую синь реки ночной.
Вот баржа с охристой копной
Отчалила: и дрожь, и хлад.
С мостов тянулся желтый след
Тумана в оторопь теней
На месте стен, и плыл над ней
Сент-Пола тучный силуэт.
