The task of learning languages is very important today. Foreign languages (and English especially) are socially demanded currently when the progress in science and technology has led to the expand of knowledge and has contributed to an overflow of information. The total knowledge of mankind is known to double every seven years. Foreign languages are needed as the main and most efficient means of information exchange of the people of our Mother Eath. Today English is the language of the world. Over 350 million people speak it as a native tongue. They live in Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages in the Irish Republic, Canada, and the South African Republic. As a second language it is used in the former British and US colonies. It is the major international language for communication in such areas as science, technology, business and mass entertainment. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations Organization and other political organization. It is the language of the literature, education, modern music, international tourism.
Главная проблема на пути овладения английским языком лежит не собственно в области приобретения языковой компетенции (методики, учебники, языковая среда и языковые способности), а в области психологии.

III. Вступительная речь учителя. Объявление темы и цели урока.
I invite you to join the tour around Britain. British literature is rich. You can always find a town, a city connected with a famous writer. For example, In South West Scotland you can follow the story of Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet. We can learn a lot about different characters from books and films.
Today we’ll speak about original English literature, its famous writers and poets, repeat the Grammar – Gerund.
IV. Listen to me. Agree or disagree. Give your reasons.
I think that reading and books are very important in our life. A well – written and beautifully illustrated book always attracts our attention.
Books give us nessesery information and a clever book is a good friend with whom you can discuss a lot. Books include interesting photos, biographical details and statistics, a lot of unknown facts. Books help us to solve our problems, to discover new things and to escape from routine every day life. A good humourous book is an entertaining reading.
V. Listen to some poems and try to guess?
Who is the author of the poem? What do you know about him?
What is the title of it?
Student 1 recites a poem (Shakespeare sonnet 90)
(Original):
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now,
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
And, do not when my heart hath `scaped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe,
Give not a windy night, a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty grieves have done their spite,
But in the onset come; so shall I taste
At first, the very worst of fortunes might,
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.
Что ж ненавидь, но не потом, сейчас,
Пока распят я за свои деянья,
Согни меня, с фортуной сообща,
И не являйся после испытаний:
В тот час, как сердце победит печаль,
Не приходи в тени былого горя,
Взамен ветрам дожди не предлагай,
Лишь мешкая нарочно с приговором
Да, коль уйдёшь, не уходи в конце,
Когда померкнут мелкие невзгоды;
Покинь теперь; уж лучше сразу мне
Испробовать фортуны гнев жестокой:
И то что горем чудилось когда-то -
Не горе по сравнению с утратой.
Pupil2 I think that the poem was written by an outstanding English poet William Shakespeare. (1564 – 1616.) He was born in a beautiful City Stratford – upon – Avon. Roayl
Shakespeare Company and Roayal Shakespeare Theatre were opened there. I know it's a sonet, but I don't know what is it's number.
Student 3 HEATHER ALE
A GALLOWAY LEGEND
From the bonny bells of heather
They brewed a drink long-syne,
Was sweeter far than honey,
Was stronger far than wine.
They brewed it and they drank it,
And lay in a blessed swound
For days and days together
In their dwellings underground.
There rose a king in Scotland,
A fell man to his foes,
He smote the Picts in battle,
He hunted them like roes.
Over miles of the red mountain
He hunted as they fled,
And strewed the dwarfish bodies
Of the dying and the dead.
Summer came in the country,
Red was the heather bell;
But the manner of the brewing
Was none alive to tell.
In graves that were like children's
On many a mountain head,
The Brewsters of the Heather
Lay numbered with the dead.
The king in the red moorland
Rode on a summer's day;
And the bees hummed, and the curlews
Cried beside the way.
The king rode, and was angry,
Black was his brow and pale,
To rule in a land of heather
And lack the Heather Ale.
It fortuned that his vassals,
Riding free on the heath,
Came on a stone that was fallen
And vermin hid beneath.
Rudely plucked from their hiding,
Never a word they spoke:
A son and his aged father –
Last of the dwarfish folk.
The king sat high on his charger,
He looked on the little men;
And the dwarfish and swarthy couple
Looked at the king again.
Down by the shore he had them;
And there on the giddy brink –
"I will give you life, ye vermin,
For the secret of the drink."
There stood the son and father
And they looked high and low;
The heather was red around them,
The sea rumbled below.
And up and spoke the father,
Shrill was his voice to hear:
"I have a word in private,
A word for the royal ear.
"Life is dear to the aged,
And honour a little thing;
I would gladly sell the secret,"
Quoth the Pict to the King.
His voice was small as a sparrow's,
And shrill and wonderful clear:
"I would gladly sell my secret,
Only my son I fear.
"For life is a little matter,
And death is nought to the young;
And I dare not sell my honour
Under the eye of my son.
Take HIM, O king, and bind him,
And cast him far in the deep;
And it's I will tell the secret
That I have sworn to keep."
They took the son and bound him,
Neck and heels in a thong,
And a lad took him and swung him,
And flung him far and strong,
And the sea swallowed his body,
Like that of a child of ten; -
And there on the cliff stood the father,
Last of the dwarfish men.
"True was the word I told you:
Only my son I feared;
For I doubt the sapling courage
That goes without the beard.
But now in vain is the torture,
Fire shall never avail:
Here dies in my bosom
The secret of Heather Ale."
ВЕРЕСКОВЫЙ МЕД
Роберт Л. Стивенсон
перевел С. Маршак Из вереска напиток
Забыт давным-давно,
А был он слаще меда,
Пьянее, чем вино.
В котлах его варили
И пили всей семьей
Малютки-медовары
В пещерах под землей.
Пришел король шотландский
Безжалостный к врагам.
Погнал он бедных пиктов
К скалистым берегам.
На вересковом поле
На поле боевом
Лежал живой на мертвом
И мертвый на живом.
Лето в стране настало,
Вереск опять цветет,
Но некому готовить
Вересковый мед.
В своих могилах тесных
В горах родной земли
Малютки-медовары
Приют себе нашли.
Король по склону едет
Над морем на коне,
А рядом реют чайки
С дорогой наравне.
Король глядит угрюмо
И думает: "Кругом
Цветет медовый вереск,
А меда мы не пьем."
Но вот его вассалы
Заметили двоих -
Последних медоваров,
Оставшихся в живых.
Вышли они из-под камня,
Щурясь на белый свет, -
Старый горбатый карлик
И мальчик пятнадцати лет.
К берегу моря крутому
Их привели на допрос,
Но никто из пленных
Слова не произнес.
Сидел король шотландский
Не шевелясь в седле,
А маленькие люди
Стояли на земле.
Гневно король промолвил:
- Плетка обоих ждет,
Если не скажете, черти,
Как вы готовите мед!
Сын и отец смолчали,
Стоя у края скалы.
Вереск шумел над ними,
В море катились валы.
И вдруг голосок раздался:
- Слушай, шотландский король,
Поговорить с тобою
С глазу на глаз позволь.
Старость боится смерти,
Жизнь я изменой куплю,
Выдам заветную тайну,
Карлик сказал королю.
Голос его воробьиный
Резко и четко звучал.
- Тайну давно бы я выдал,
Если бы сын не мешал.
Мальчику жизни не жалко,
Гибель ему ни по чем.
Мне продавать свою совесть
Совестно будет при нем.
Пусть его крепко свяжут
И бросят в пучину вод
И я научу шотландцев
Готовить старинный мед.
Сильный шотландский воин
Мальчика крепко связал
И бросил в открытое море
С прибрежных отвесных скал.
Волны над ним сомкнулись,
Замер последний крик.
И эхом ему ответил
С обрыва отец-старик:
- Правду сказал я, шотландцы,
От сына я ждал беды,
Не верил я в стойкость юных,
Не бреющих бороды.
А мне костер не страшен,
Пусть со мною умрет
Моя святая тайна,
Мой вересковый мед.

X. Read the extracts below (1 – 8) and say what kind of book is it?
1. Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety – two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape – descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has – or rather had–a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
2. They moved swiftly, silently, with purpose, under a crystalline, star-filled night in western Siberia. They were Muslims, though one could scarcely have known it from their speech, which was Russian, though inflected with the singsong Azerbaijani accent that wrongly struck the senior members of the engineering staff as entertaining. The three of them had just completed a complex task in the truck and train yards, the opening of hundreds of loading valves. Ibrahim Tolkaze was their leader, though he was not in front. Rasul was in front, the massive former sergeant in the MVD who had already killed six men this cold night-three with a pistol hidden under his coat and three with his hands alone. No one had heard them. An oil refinery is a noisy place. The bodies were left in shadows, and the three men entered Tolkaze's car for the next part of their task.
3. Out of this complex microscopic cellular activity emerged one of the mysteries of the universe: consciousness! Mind had once more been born of matter.
Consciousness was the faculty that provided foundation for memory and meaning; and also terror and dread. With consciousness came the burden of knowledge of eventual death. But at that moment, the consciousness created was consciousness without awareness. Awareness was next and soon to come.
4. He was a man to whom everybody came for help, and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, you yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, He would take that man’s troubles to his heart. And he would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that man’s woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title of “Don,” and sometimes the more affectionate salutation ... And perhaps, to show respect only, never for profit, some humble gift– a gallon of homemade wine or a basket of peppered taralles– specially baked to grace his Christmas table. It was understood, it was mere good manners, to proclaim that you were in his debt and that he had the right to call upon you at any time to redeem your debt by some small service.
5. People believe, thought Shadow. It’s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.
The mountaintop was an arena; he saw that immediately. And on each side of the arena he could see them arrayed.
They were too big. Everything was too big in that place.
There were old gods in that place: gods with skins the brown of old mushrooms, the pink of chicken flesh, the yellow of autumn leaves. Some were crazy and some were sane. Shadow recognized the old gods. He’d met them already, or he’d met others like them. There were ifrits and piskies, giants and dwarfs. He saw the woman he had met in the darkened bedroom in Rhode Island, saw the writhing green snake-coils of her hair. He saw Mama-ji, from the carousel, and there was blood on her hands and a smile on her face. He knew them all. He recognized the new ones, too.
6. “Early religion was based on the divine order of Nature. The goddess Venus and the planet Venus were one and the same. The goddess had a place in the nighttime sky and was known by many names – Venus, the Eastern Star, Ishtar, Astarte – all of them powerful female concepts with ties to Nature and Mother Earth.”
Fache looked more troubled now, as if he somehow preferred the idea of devil worship.
Langdon decided not to share the pentacle’s most astonishing property–the graphic origin of its ties to Venus. As a young astronomy student, Langdon had been stunned to learn the planet Venus traced a perfect pentacle across the ecliptic sky every four years. So astonished were the ancients to observe this phenomenon, that Venus and her pentacle became symbols of perfection, beauty. As a tribute to the magic of Venus, the Greeks used her fouryear cycle to organize their Olympiads. Nowadays, few people realized that the fouryear schedule of modern Olympic Games still followed the cycles of Venus. Even fewer people knew that the fivepointed star had almost become the official Olympic seal but was modified at the last moment – its five points exchanged for five intersecting rings to better reflect the games’ spirit of inclusion and harmony.
7. It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of the crime which came out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for the prosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessary to bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself, but that interest was as nothing to me compared to the inconceivable sequel, which afforded me the greatest shock and surprise of any event in my adventurous life.
8. I looked at my notes and I didn’t like them. I’d spent three days at U. S. Robots and might as well have spent them at home with the Encyclopedia Tellurica.
Susan Calvin had been born in the year 1982, they said, which made her seventy-five now. Everyone knew that. Appropriately enough, U. S. Robot and Mechanical Men, Inc. was seventy-five also, since it had been in the year of Dr. Calvin’s birth that Lawrence Robertson had first taken out incorporation papers for what eventually became the strangest industrial giant in man’s history. Well, everyone knew that, too.
XI. Match the books and authors with the extracts. (Здесь приведены в соответствующем последовательном порядке).
XII. Заполните пропуски подходящими по смыслу словами из рамки.
| classical, adventure, translate, books, delivered newspapers, dictionaries, money, music, boring, craft, reference, babysitting/fruit cubes, horror |

And the kitten became alive. They talked and a sunny kitten told the boy about the doors to another worlds and aboutthe real light. With that light they could see the doors. Then they came to another world and there were many exciting events, there adventures were fantastic, they made true friends.
