LESSON 4: THE GLOBAL LEISURE ACTIVITY
Active vocabulary: agritourism, ecotourism, voluntarism, spa, trekking, suffix –ism |
Communicative area: giving definitions, inferring meaning from context |
1. Work in pairs. Describe the pictures below. What do they have in common? (илл. 7.3.1-7.3.6)
2. A) Read the etymology of the word tourism and answer the questions below.
Theobald (1994) suggested that "etymologically, the word tour is derived from the Latin, 'tornare' and the Greek, 'tornos', meaning 'a lathe or circle; the movement around a central point or axis'. The suffix –ism is defined as 'an action or process; typical behaviour or quality'. When the word tour and the suffixes –ism are combined, they suggest the action of movement around a circle. One can argue that a circle represents a starting point, which ultimately returns back to its beginning. Therefore, like a circle, a tour represents a journey in that it is a round-trip, i.e., the act of leaving and then returning to the original starting point.”
b) Can you guess the etymology of the following words?
adventurism, terrorism, abstractionism, vegetarianism
c) Name more words with the suffix – ism.
