Step II. Warming up

Step one: Briefly introduce the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, the Meridian Line and Windsor Castle.

Give students several minutes to talk with partners. Then ask them to give an answer. Then share the truth with them.

1. The Tower of London. It looks white, yes? Do you know the reason why it looks white? It is because it was made from white stone.

2. St Paul's Cathedral. Look at the round roof. We can call it a dome. If you whisper a message inside that wall, it will be heard across the other side of the dome.

3. Westminster Abbey. Many important people were buried here. Have you ever heard of Charles Dickens? He was a famous writer who wrote the novel named Oliver Twist, in Chinese it was "雾都孤儿”. He was buried here. Isaac Newton, a scientist, as well as many politicians, was buried here.

4. Greenwich. Does the Meridian line truly exist? Absolutely not. It was imaginary. Do you know the reason why people create it?

Students: It was for navigation.

Teacher: Yes, you're right. In the Middle Ages, many explorers travelled around the world. Some of them even discovered the American Continents. But at the same time, a lot of travelers went off the coastline and got lost at sea. Hence, they created the longitude line.

5. Windsor Castle

Here live the queen and her family. Do you think travelers can pay a visit there? why? In fact, it has some impressive state apartments that are open for the public to view. The queen and her family's private apartments are not open to the public as it is privacy.
