‘democracy?’ What do you think "democracy" means?
II Aims of the Lesson
T: You've learned so much about the political systems of the UK, the USA and Russia that you
can work as experts in this field. Let’s imagine you are representatives of these countries at the
3G summit. You gathered here to discuss the idea of democracy which plays a great role in
politics. Do the majority of people live under democratic systems? Does much depend on a
politician? What kind of people can succeed in politics? You'll read interesting texts about it and
you'll share your opinions about these problems.
What are your aims of today's lesson?
What would you prefer to learn and discuss?
(Класс делится на 3 группы представителей из трех стран.)

Listening comprehension. Making the scheme.
T: You have proved to be really smart experts on political problems. Now you'll hear the
information about the political system of New Zealand. Listen to the text and make the scheme of
the political system of New Zealand. (Working in groups).
(Группам выдаются листы, фломастеры для создания схемы политической системы
Новой Зеландии по аналогии с теми, которые они рассматривали в учебнике на
стр.42,44,48)
T:
- Which institutions represent the legislative and executive branch of power?
- How do the branches of power interact?
The text for listening comprehension: (ex.1, p.64)
New Zealand is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Though New Zealand is an
independent state the British Queen is the head of state there, so, the country is a constitutional
monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Its form of government reflects its historical link
with Great Britain. The Queen is represented by the governor-general. Like in Great Britain,
the Parliament represents the legislative branch though the Parliament in New Zealand has
only one chamber, the House of Representatives. There are 120 members and. they are elected
by the people.
The main political parties are the National Party and the Labour Party. The leader of the party that
has the majority of seats in the House becomes prime minister. He appoints ministers, heads of the
formal Executive Council and the informal but influential Cabinet. The British monarch appoints
the governor-general who is part of the Executive Council. New Zealand has no written single
constitutional document. The Constitution Act of 1986 determines the distribution of powers:
legislative, executive and judicial.
T: Present your schemes, comment on the schemes. Make the conclusion-Is the political
system democratic?
VII
"Cocktail Party"
T: People often criticize government and government policy. They always want to express
their options and correct wrongs.
As the experts of the G3 summit find out wishes and opinions of the politicians of your
partner countries, Ask and report:
What would he/she like to change in the country?
What would he/she do if he/she were the president?

T: It is very important to have the head of state who is democratically elected. Read the texts about
the heads of states. Learn the main facts about their life and political career so that you'll be able to
discuss them in other groups and fill in the table. (Приложение 1,2,3,4)
T: In your home-groups comment on the texts, make the conclusions what kind of politicians they
are. Were all of them elected? Are they ideal politicians for democratic countries?

Приложение 1
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor; born
21 April 1926) is Queen of 16 sovereign states,
holding each crown and title equally. However, she is
more directly involved with the United Kingdom,
where the Royal Family resides, and the Monarchy is
historically indigenous.
Apart from the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II is also
Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica,
Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea,
the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda,
Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis, where she is
represented by Governors-General. The 16 countries
of which she is queen are known as Commonwealth
Realms, and their combined population is 128 million.
She is presently the world's only monarch who is
simultaneously Head of State of more than one independent nation. In legal theory she is the most
powerful head of state in the world, although in practice she personally exercises very little
political executive power.
Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
Pakistan and Ceylon upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. As other
colonies of the British Empire (now the Commonwealth of Nations) attained independence from
the UK during her reign, she acceded to the newly created thrones as Queen of each respective
realm so that throughout her 54 years on the throne she has been Monarch of 32 nations, half of
which either moved to different royal houses, or became republics.
Elizabeth also holds the positions of Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme
Governor of the Church of England (styled Defender of the Faith) and Lord of Mann. Following
tradition, she is also styled Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy. She is also Commander-inChief of the Armed forces of many of her Realms.
Elizabeth is currently the second-longest-reigning head of state in the world and the fifth-longest
serving British monarch.
Queen Elizabeth is the most widely-travelled British head of state in history. In 1953–1954 she
and Philip made a six-month around-the-world tour, becoming the first British monarch to
circumnavigate the globe. She also became the first reigning monarch of Australia, New Zealand
and Fiji to visit those nations . In October 1957, she made a state visit to the United States and
toured Canada, opening the first session of that nation's 23rd parliament and addressing the United
Nations General Assembly. In February 1961, she visited Ankara, as the guest of Turkish
President Cemal Gürsel, and later toured India and Pakistan for the first time. She has made state
visits to most European countries and to many outside Europe. She toured the United States for the
1976 Bicentennial, attending festivities with President Ford, and again in 1991 at the invitation of
President George H.W. Bush, during which she became the first British monarch to address a joint
session of the United States Congress. She regularly attends Commonwealth Heads of
Government

Afghanistan, and signed an arms control treaty with Russia. In October 2009, Obama was named
the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
