Фонетическая зарядка.

Teacher: Let's practice our tongue.

Teacher: And now listen and repeat the poem. Look at the smart board, read after me.

Take a bus or take a train,

Take a boat or take a plane,

Take a taxi, take a car,

Maybe near or maybe far,

Take a rocket to the moon,

But be sure to come back soon.

Teacher: Who wants to read the poem? 

Teacher: I like your reading very much!

Teacher: Brainstorm activity. Holidays…What words do you associate with the word holiday? (gifts, to celebrate, vacation, festivals, cards, sweets, guests, to have fun, tasty dishes, balloon, travelling)

Teacher: Right you are. Modern life is impossible without travelling. Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. And we are going to speak about it today as much as possible. You will be doing a lot of different things.

Bucket list

On winter holidays I had hot chocolate.

On winter holidays I had travelling.

(Шаг 1. Подготовьте список предложений в прошедшем времени о том, что можно делать во время зимних каникул. Идеи для этого списка можно взять из предновогодних Bucket lists.

Шаг 2. У каждого ученика на столе 2 карточки: I did и I didn’t.

Шаг 3. Вы зачитываете предложение, например: On winter break I attended a New Year party.

Шаг 4. В зависимости то того, сделали ли это ученики во время зимних каникул или нет, они поднимают карточки I did или I didn’t.

Для тех, кто поднимает карточки «I didn’t» необходимо составить собственное предложение.)

Teacher:  Do you like travelling? Can you think of any reasons travelling?

(to meet people, to visit new places, to rest from hard work, to spend money, to learn about art and culture, they want to change their life, they want to investigate the world, they travel because of curiosity, they travel when they feel down or stressed out, they have a sense of adventure…)

Teacher: Thank you children. Very well and correctly responded. And now we have a game «Question Hats». The first hat is for your questions and the second hat is for your opinion.

(У учителя две шляпы с отличительными лентами. В первую шляпу ученики складывают записки с вопросами по теме урока. Во вторую шляпу идут вопросы оценочные, начинающиеся со слов: "Я считаю, что…, а ты как думаешь?" Эта шапка тоже важна, так как учит оценочным суждениям и повторяются разделительные вопросы.

После того, как ученики написали вопросы и разложили в шляпы, учитель перемешивает записки в каждой шляпе и предлагает ученикам вытащить одну и ответить.)

(The first hat:

1.Why do people like to travel?

It is very interesting and exciting to travel and to discover new things, different ways of life. We can visit different places of interest and see ancient palaces and churches, wonderful castles and famous monuments.

2. How can people travel?

They can travel by car, by plane, by bus, on foot.

3. What means of transport do you prefer to travel?

I prefer to travel by car because I can stop when and there I want and enjoy nature.

4. What is your favourite holidays?

As for me, it`s Christmas. It is a family holiday. People stay at home and spend the time with their families.

5. Have you ever been to a foreign country?

No, I haven`t been. But I want very much.

The second hat:

1. In my opinion, travelling broadens the mind. Do you agree with me?

I agree with you. While travelling we can see and learn a lot of interesting things that we can never learn staying at home and watching TV or reading books.

2. My favorite holiday is my birthday. What about you?

This is a celebration of one person and his family. My favorite holiday is New Year. New Year is celebrated by everyone.

3. People normally think that presents are the most important part of these holidays. What about you?

I suppose, the most important thing is the holiday mood.

4. I prefer to travel by train because it’s the most convenient and not expensive. What about you?

5. To my mind, travelling by plane is the best because it’s the quickest means of transport and comfortable.)

(I think people/they feel... angry (un)happy, sad, depressed, bored, confused, furious, excited, surprised, puzzled, exhausted, worried, embarrassed, upset, frightened, scared...)

3) - Hello. Reception. How may I help you?

- Hello. I think I’ve got several problems in my room.

- Excuse me, sir. What’s your room number, please?

- Oh, yes. It’s 447.

- Right. What’s the matter, Mr. Peterson?

- The thing is that the room heating doesn’t seem to be working and it was really freezing in here last night.

- OK. I’m sorry, Mr. Peterson. Would you like me to send you the engineer right away and get it fixed?

- Well, I guess it would be better to change the room as this one is too noisy and small for me. And by the way, the sink is clogged in the bathroom and I cannot use the water in it.

- Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience. I’ll find the plumber and let him know.

- Thanks for your help.

- Enjoy your stay, Mr. Peterson. And feel free to ask or call the reception anytime.)

Teacher: 

Burns Night is annually celebrated in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also celebrates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture.

Robert Burns in a small clay cottage at Alloway, in Ayrshire, Scotland. His father, William Burns, was a poor farmer. He built this small clay cottage with his own hands. There were seven children in the family, and Robert was the eldest.

 Now, let’s begin. Imagine:

   A room in the Burns’ neighbors’ house. A man and a woman are sitting there. The man is making something with a hammer. The woman is sewing.

   (The students perform a short play about Robert’s first day of life.) 

Woman: The night is so stormy. It is snowing. Somebody is knocking.

Husband: I’ll open the door.

Burns’ Mother (coming in): My dear neighbors! The storm has broken the roof of my house. May I spend this night at your place?

Woman: Oh, dear! You are welcome! Sit down, please. Let me have a look at your baby. What a handsome boy!

Husband: Hush! Somebody is knocking again. Who can it be? The storm is so terrible.

Woman: Oh, a stranger may have lost his way. We can’t leave anyone without help. Open the door, my dear.

Gypsy (entering the room): Hello! How are you? I’m cold and wet. May I warm myself in your house?

Woman: Of course, my dear Sarah. She is a gypsy. She can tell fortunes.

Gypsy: What a nice baby! Let me see his hand. Oh, this boy won’t be a fool. He’ll be famous! He will glorify his family and his country.

Шотландский танец мальчиков.

Despite of his hard work and poor conditions he always tried to find some time for writing poems. And that’s why he had to carry on his dual professions or poet and tenant farmer. As a result in 1786 his ‘Poems Chiefly in Scottish Dialect’ were published. Later on, in 1788 he married Jean Armor. Listen to the poem devoted to his wife. It is called “O My Luve's Like A Red, Red Rose”. (There is the standard English translation of the poem).

O, my love is like a red, red rose,

That is newly sprung in June.

O, my love is like the melody,

That is sweetly played in tune.

As fair are you, my lovely lass,

So deep in love am I,

And I will love you still, my Dear,

Till all the seas go dry.

Till all the seas go dry, my Dear,

And the rocks melt with the sun!

O I will love you still, my Dear,

While the sands of life shall run.

And fare you well, my only Love,

And fare you well a while!

And I will come again, my Love,

Although it were ten thousand mile!
