Слайд 13Now let’s read some interesting things about the Olympic Games:
Women were
not allowed to watch the competitions of the Olympic Games. By the way, if women broke the rule and came to the stadium, they were physically punished.
Слайд 14In ancient Greece winners received olive
wreaths. Winners’ images often appeared on
coins or on statues. In honor of the champions the walls of their native towns were broken and they entered the town through the holes.
People explained it
this way: “We aren’t
afraid of enemies
because the best
athletes live here.”
Слайд 15Since 1896 the Olympic Games have
been world’s number one sport event,
a symbol of hope, peace and friendly co-operation between nations. Pierre de Coubertin said, “There is no star nobler than the Sun; there are no games nobler than the Olympics”.
Слайд 16The prize was a red apple. Now there are
3 prizes for
each event – a gold medal, a silver medal and a bronze medal.
Слайд 17The Olympic flag has 5 coloured rings.
The colors are blue, yellow,
black, green and red on white, because every country in the world has one of these colors on its flag.
Слайд 18The beginning of the Olympic Games is
impossible without lighting a fire.
The torch is carried hand-to-hand by relays of runners from the original site of the Games at Olympia to the stadium of the host city.
Слайд 19Everybody knows the motto of the Olympics: “Citius, altius, fortius”. It
means
Слайд 20The country of the Games chooses a
mascot. For example, Bear Misha
in Moscow in 1980, a cartoon dog Cobi in Barcelona in 1992, etc.
At our lesson today we have discussed the history of the Olympic Games. I’m sure you know that the next Winter Olympic Games will be held in our country. I would like you to find information about the future Olympics in Sochi on the Internet and speak about it at the next lesson.
