Then we listen and do Activity 3 in the notebook.

AUDIO Activity 3 page 27

We correct homework from yesterday:

After that, we finish the political map of Europe. We colour yellow the countries that do not belong to the EU, and for the EU members we use different colours. We label the seas and oceans correctly: Atlantic Ocean, Caspian Sea, Arctic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. 

We can use the information and colours  from this map:

EUROPEAN UNION MAP

Although it is not included in the chapter, we are making a table of the European countries that are members of the European Union, with their capital cities. We pay a special attention to those that share a common currency (EURO).

We hand out his table and attach it to our notebook.

After we have studied the 27 European countries that are members of the European Union, there are other countries we need to learn. Seven European countries are currently candidates to enter the EU or they are potential candidates. 

In this table you can see all the European countries and their capitals.

The number of countries in Europe is in constant change. In the table provided above there are 50 countries. Some people do not consider Turkey or Russia as part of Europe because they also have territories in Asia. In other cases, like Kosovo, some countries do not recognize its independence from Serbia.

The rest of the lesson we are going to write riddles about European countries

 I am thinking of a country which has borders with Hungary, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia. Its capital city begins with B.  (Slovakia, capital Bratislava)
