Activity 6. “Walking is a virtue, tourism is a deadly sin.” – Bruce Chatwin

Step 1. Your group mates decided to visit Kharkiv next week. And you are in charge to find some information about this city. Trying to do it quicker, you decided to ask questions about the landmarks of Kharkiv on the Internet. Using the prompts below, make up the questions:

· What/you/tell/me about the symbol of Kharkiv, known as the Mirror Stream (rotunda)?

· What/popular sights/in Kharkiv?

· What/monasteries (churches, cathedrals)/be/in Kharkiv?

· What/you/hear/about the State Industry building?

· What/monuments/worth/mention/in Kharkiv?

· Where/the monument to Taras Shevchenko/situate?

· Where/you/find/the House with a Spire?

Step 2. You live in Kharkiv. You found some questions about the landmarks of your native city on the Internet and decided to help. You also found the pictures of the seven wonders of Kharkiv. Then, to your surprise, you came across seven statements about them on the Internet. Now find the picture to each statement and give more detailed information about each of them to help the students from another city see the main landmarks:

· The monument to one of the greatest poets of Ukraine is situated in the centre of Kharkiv.

· You can see the House with a Spire in Constitution Square.

· People listen to organ music in the Assumption/Dormition Cathedral.

· The Sate Industry building is in the biggest square of Europe.

· The Annunciation Cathedral is beautifully illuminated at night.

· The Mirror Stream/Spurt is the main symbol of Kharkiv.

· The Holy Shroud (the Protection/Intercession of the Most Holy Virgin) Monastery is visited by many Kharkivites every day.
