Незнакомые слова на доске:

Bloom -цветение

Blessed day – благословенный день

Sacred night – священная ночь

Listen to a song by Louis Armstrong “Wonderful world”

Let`s sing a song together!

What a wonderful world

I see trees of green

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also in the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying “How do you do?”

They are really saying “I love you”

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow

They`ll learn much more than I`ll ever know

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world,

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Прекрасный мир

Перевел Андрей Дюк

Я вижу зелёные листья деревьев и
красные лепестки роз
Вижу как они цветут для тебя и меня
И я понимаю,
Что этот мир полон чудес

Я вижу белые облака на голубом небе
Ясный солнечный день
Тёмную тихую ночь
И я думаю про себя:
Что за волшебный мир!

Все цвета радуги
Играют на небе
И на лицах
Прохожих
Я вижу как друзья пожимают руки,
Спрашивая "Как дела?"
Подразумевая: "Я люблю тебя".

Я слышу как плачут маленькие дети,
Вижу, как они растут,
И научатся они гораздо большему,
Чем то, что я знаю и умею сейчас
И я думаю о том,
Что этот мир полон чудес,
Да, я думаю о том,
Какой всё же это прекрасный мир!
