All about Britain’s life
The aim of the lesson is to revise Grammar Tenses, practice special vocabulary, find out facts about living in Britain, practice and discussion.
1. Warming and introducing a new topic

Most of Russian teenagers speak English.
What about teenagers in Britain?
2. Listen to the interview and answer the question:
How many Britons speak foreign language? Prove ideas of your own.
Young Britons shy away from learning languages
Two out of three teenagers in Britain are keen to work abroad but most of them don't speak foreign languages. Government figures show that 58% of 11-18 year olds in the UK have no foreign language skills, and this has a negative effect on the economy.
Fact or fiction? Most British people are lazy when it comes to learning a foreign language.
VOX POPS:
- Fact.
- Why do you say that?
- 'Cos we don't need to. 'Cos everybody else speaks English.
- Fact. Foreigners make it too easy for you because they speak English when you're abroad.
Those views on the streets of London are backed up by figures out this week. The British Government found that 58 percent of 11-18 year olds in the UK do NOT speak a second language. However two thirds of teenagers in Britain want to work abroad when they're older - the countries of choice being Italy, Spain, France or China.
The British Government admits there is a problem - that not enough young people continue learning a second language when they leave school. Teresa Tinley from the country's national centre of languages says it has big implications for the economy:
TINLEY:
We are in a competitive global market and we need to be able to speak to our customers and our potential customers. Our trade is very much geared towards English-speaking countries. Our research shows that our exports are suffering.
The research is seen as further evidence that most young people assume they can get by in a foreign country by speaking English - something the authorities in London want to change.
