CONDITIONALS
I. Good morning, children. Sit down, please! Get ready for the lesson.
II. What nasty weather we are having today! If the weather is bad tomorrow, I won’t go to the country. And what about you? What are you going to do? Think of your own sentences. Start with “if”. Do it in turns.
(Pupils give their own sentences)
III. Well, that’s enough. Today we are going to speak about… By the way, it would be better if you told me the grammar theme of our lesson. What are we going to speak about?
(Pupils’ answers: Conditionals. The Subjunctive Mood)
1) That’s right. Let’s revise Conditionals. Start with the First Conditional. Do exercise 3A. Put the verbs in brackets in the correct form to make first conditional sentences.
1. If it ………. (snow) at the weekend, we ………. (make) a snowman.
2. Nina ………. (marry) Steve if he ………. (ask) her on Valentine’s Day.
3. If we ………. (win) the match today, we ………. (play) in the final next week.
4. If Jack ………. (not work) harder, he ………. (fail) the exam.
5. Paul ………. (be) really angry if you (not tell) him the truth.
6. You ………. (not pass) the exam if you ………. (not work) a bit harder.
7. If they (not come) to see us today, ………. they (come) tomorrow?
8. If Jim ………. (be) late home tonight, we …….(not go) to the funfair in town.
2) The second conditional. Do exercise 4A. Complete the sentences with the verbs in brackets in the second conditional.
1. If I …….. the car, I …….. drive very fast. (buy/be able to)
2. If I …….. very fast, the police ……... me. (drive/stop)
3. If the police …….. me, I …….. my driving licence. (stop/lose)
4. If I …….. my driving licence, I …….. a car. (lose/not need)
Exercise 4B. Make sentences in the second conditional. Use these prompts and words of your own.
Example
Win $1,000 / spend…
If I won $1000, I’d spend it on clothes.
1. meet a famous pop star/ask him/her…
2. be a singer / sing with…
3. can have any job in the world/be…
4. see a robbery/tell …
5. have a video camera/film…
6. win the lottery/buy…
3) Look at the structure “I wish”.
did | ||
I wish | I | had done |
would do |
When do we use Past Simple? - We regret about a present situation.
When do we use Past Perfect? - We regret about the past.
When do we use would plus a verb? - We use this structure to express irritation about a present situation, to change something in the future or when we want somebody to do something.

5) Ex.4 Solve this maths problem created by Grigory Oster. What article (a, the,zero article) will you use with the underlined nouns when translating the problems into English? What type of conditional will you use in text1 and text 2? Translate the texts. Mind articles, tenses and conditionals.
1. __ Боксер, каратист (karateka) и штангист гонятся (run after) за велосипедистом со скоростью (at the speed of) 12 км в час. Догнали бы (саtch up with) они велосипедиста, если бы тот проехал (ride) 45 км со скоростью 15 км в час, а потом прилег отдохнуть на часок (lie down for an hour to have some rest)?
2. Боксер, каратист и штангист погнались за велосипедистом со скоростью 12 км в час. Через 5 часов они прекратили погоню (chase). Сколько километров пробежали бы штангист, боксер и каратист, если бы они бежали 8 часов? Что сказали бы велосипедисту боксер, каратист и штангист, если бы они его догнали?
6) Now be ready to listen to the tape. There are two questions on the blackboard. What is a Cockney? What is Cockney rhyming slang? Does any of you know the answers to these questions? Nobody knows. Then listen to the text. You will hear it twice. Your task is to understand the contents of it and answer some extra questions. Listen to the tape for the first time.
Man | So, what exactly is a ‘Cockney’, then? |
Woman | Well, to be a true Londoner – a Cockney – you have to be born close enough to hear the bells of St. Mary le Bow church in the City of London. The Bow Bells rang to tell people to put out their fires before going to bed. This was quite a common thing in Medieval Europe. |
Man | Yes, but does the word itself mean anything? |
Woman | It’s quite a funny story, actually! The word ‘cockney’ originally meant a cock’s egg, which was a misshapen egg sometimes laid by young hens. These eggs were weaker than normal eggs, so country people used the nickname ‘cockney’ for people who lived in towns, because they thought they were wicker than country people! By the 17-th century, the word ‘cockney’ was used to describe a Londoner. |
Man | OK – but what about Cockney rhyming slang? What actually is that? |
Woman | Over the years, Cockneys developed a set of secret cord words which only other Cockneys could understand – for example, if a Cockney says he’s on the dog and bone’, he really means that he’s on the phone! |
Man | Cockney rhyming slang was originally invented so people could talk in secret? |
Woman | Yes, that’s right. If you spoke in Cockney rhyming slang, people in authority, such as policemen, or anybody trying to overhear you, wouldn’t be able to understand – so in fact, Cockney rhyming slang is a way of protecting yourself. |
Man | Whatever the reason, Cockney rhyming slang is still a closed language to those who don’t know it. But its famous humour is too good to be missed! |
Listen to the tape for the second time.
I want you to answer the following questions to be sure you understood the text. Don’t forget about conditional sentences.
- What is a Cockney?
- Why did the Bow Bells ring?
- What did the word ‘cockney’ originally mean?
- Why did country people think that people who lived in towns were weaker?
- What is Cockney rhyming slang?
- What was Cockney rhyming slang originally invented for?
Who can retell the text in brief?
Your homework was to read the text “Castaway 2000”. Start reading.
CASTAWAY 2000
In the year 2000, a television company did an experiment called Castaway 2000. The idea was to learn about how people live together. Thirty six people became ‘castaways’ on a Scottish island for a year. They had no television, radio, computers, transport or shops and only two small buildings. For the whole year, they lived as a closed community. They grew and made everything they needed. They weren’t real castaways, however, because a television camera filmed them. The details of their lives were on television every week.
One of the ‘castaways’ was Roger Stephenson. He was there with his wife, Rosemary, and their two young sons. They taught the seven children on the island themselves. Roger says, “I’ve never lived like this before. It was fantastic. The freedom really helped our children to develop. We’ve already decided that we want to continue to teach them ourselves. I’d like to live like this again. But I wouldn’t like to be controlled by a television company again.” Rosemary adds, “I’ve just seen some of the programmes of us, and I didn’t like them. The editing of the programmes made us look like very difficult people – it was very unfair.”
Two other castaways were a couple, Dez and Liz. Both of them are hard-working people and they learned a lot about themselves. Liz says, “The practical things were easy for me. But living with 30 other people was hard work.” In the end, however, they were both positive. “We haven’t decided where yet, but we’d like to continue to live a self-sufficient way of life,” says Dez.
