(слушают тексты два раза, затем определяют жанр рассказа).
It was a dark and foggy night. We drove and drove. At midnight just as we were thought we were lost we saw a light behind some trees. As we got nearer we could see a house. It looked abandoned. We knocked on the heavy wooden door. It opened slowly. A tall man dressed entirely in black stood there. “Good evening”, he said in a slow, deep voice-“I’ve been expecting you”.
The man lay on the ground next to white van. There was no drought. He was dead. I quickly looked in his jacket- some money, a handkerchief and a theatre ticket with a Chicago phone number written on it. Three murders in three weeks and the victims all killed in the same way.
Once upon a time a long, long time ago there lived a beautiful princess. She was an only child and her father and mother, the king and the queen loved her very much. One day, an old woman came to the castle. When she saw the princess, she smiled and laughed in a strange and horrible way.

VI. Развитие навыков монологической речи
Now some curious facts about books (презентация слайд 7).
P 1. Many many years ago a town crier ran through the streets and shouted out all the news. But now we live in the Atomic Age. Too many things happen too quickly for us to learn them in the old fashioned way. That is why we have to read more and more in order to find out what is happening in the world. Have you ever thought about the kind of books people used long ago. It is only in the last 500 years that books have been printed on paper. Before that time the only way of making books was to write them out by hand. No one knows when writing first began, but we have found drawings on the walls of caves which are at least 25000 years old.
VII. Работа с текстом.
T: Now let’s read the text about the first English printer William Caxton.

WILLIAM CAXTON
William Caxton is the first English printer. He was born in Kent in 1422. His father was a farmer. William did not want to become a farmer like his father. So his father sent him to London.

When William Caxton was thirty, after his master’s death he started his own business in Belgium. In 1471 he left his business and began to translate French books into English. He became interested in printing and at last he learnt it. William wanted to have his own press one day and he did.
In 1476 he brought his printing – press to London. Printing was something new at that time and most people thought that it was the work of the devil. Some of the people wanted to break his press. Caxton printed his first book in 1477. It was the first book printed in the English language. The book was Caxton’s translation of the French “Tales of Troy”.

T: During our lesson you can meet not only the characters of different books but also some English writers. (на слайде появляются портреты английских писателей) Chose an author as you chose a friend.
Look at the screen Do you know this poet?
P1 Robert Burns is the famous poet of Great Britain and the national poet of Scotland. He was born in 1759 on the 25th of January. He was born in Alloway in Ayrshire, Scotland. He was the eldest of 7 children, growing up a life of poverty and hard farm work.
P2 And this is the cottage, where Robert Burns was born. The family was very poor. His father’s greatest wish was to give his children the best education he could afford. He was a clever man and had a shelf with books in his poor house. (Then on the stage, the pupils’ perform a short play about Robert’s first day of life.)
Scene.
P1 A room in the Burn’s neighbours house. A man and a woman with a baby in her arms are sitting there. The man is making something with a hammer. The baby is asleep.
Woman: The night is so stormy. It is snowing. Somebody is knocking.
Husband: I’ll open the door.
Burn’s Mother: (coming in) My dear neighbours! 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 snowstorm 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 country.
P2: In February 1784 Robert’s father died and Robert became the head of the family. The farm was a failure, the crops wouldn’t grow. In 1784 at a dancing party R. Burns met the “beauty of the village”- Jean Armou, the daughter of a rich master- mason. It was a “love at first sight.” They wanted to marry, but Jean’s father disapproved. Burn was a poor farmer and not good enough for his daughter.
Robert decided to emigrate to Jamaica. The words of the following poem reflect his thoughts and feelings.
P: From thee, Eliza, I must go
And from my native shore.
The cruel fates between us throw
A boundless ocean’s roar.But boundless ocean, roaring wide,
Between my love and me,
They never, never can divide
My heart and soul from theeFarewell, farewell, Eliza, dear,
The maid that I adore!
A boding voice is in my ear,
We part to meet no more!But the latest throb that leaves my heart,
While Death stand victor by,
That throb, Eliza, is my part,
And thine that latest sigh.P: Прощусь, Элиза, я с тобой
Для дальних, чуждых стран,
Мою судьбу с твоей разделит океанПусть нам в разлуке до конца томиться суждено,-
Не разлучаются сердца,
Что спаяны в одно!Оставлю я в родной стране
Тебя, мой лучший клад.
И тайный голос шепчет мне:
Я не вернусь назад.Последнее пожатье рук
Я унесу с собой.
Тебе - последний сердца стук
И вздох последний мой.
In order to make some money for the voyage he decided to print some of his poems. When his poems were published, Burns became famous overnight and editions appeared all over the world. In 1788 Burns and Jean Armour married and went to live at Ellisland Farm.
By 1796 Burns had become dangerously ill and on the 21 of July he died, aged 37 years old. Scotland had lost one of its best loved poets and a national hero. Burns dreamt of immortality and wanted to be the best poet of Scotland. His dream came true and today his work is loved by millions all over the world.
William Shakespeare is the greatest and most famous of English writers and probably the greatest playwright who has ever lived.
William Shakespeare was born on the 23d of April, 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. It is a house where he was born. His father John Shakespeare, was a glover. He was a respected figure in Stratford. At the age of six William was sent to school. His father fell into debts and William had to leave school at the age of 13. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway. When he was 21, he went to London. He made friends with many actors. Soon he began to write plays. Sometimes he worked as an actor.
But the actors didn’t have their own theatre, that is why they built a theatre and called it “The Globe”. There was a sign on its main door: “All the world is a stage”. Shakespeare’s Globe was rather different from modern theatres. The plays were performed in the open air. There was no scenery, very few props and the only lighting was the daylight that came from the open roof above. Women in those days weren’t allowed to act in public and all the parts (even Juliet) were played by men. Much of the audience stood to watch the performance. In 1613 the Globe burnt down.
In 1949 an American actor Sam Wanamaker decided to rebuild the Globe. It took many years to raise money, get permission and find out exactly what the place looked out like in the old days. On June 12 1997, Her Majesty the Queen opened the International Shakespeare Globe Center. Unfortunately, Sam Wanamaker died in 1993 and wasn’t in the audience to see his dream finally come true. This new theatre is as close to the original as it is possible to be.
T: Shakespeare was a great poet. He wrote 154 sonnets.
P1: Sonnet 18 (на английском)
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d
And every fair from fair sometimes declines
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’dBut thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou, owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shad
When in eternal lines to tinee thou growes
So long as man can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee!
P2: (на русском)
Сравню ли с летним днем твои черты?
Но ты милей, умеренней и краше
Ломает буря майские цветы,И так недолговечно лето наше!
То нам слепит глаза небесный глаз,
То светлый лик скрывает непогодаЛаскает, нежит и терзает нас
Своей случайной прихотью погода.
А у тебя не убывает день,
Не увядает солнечное летоИ смертная тебя не скроет тень
Ты будешь вечно жить в строках поэта.
Среди живых ты будешь до тех пор
Доколе дышит грудь и видит взор.
T: Shakespeare wrote 37 plays. Among them are “Hamlet”, “King Lear”. (презентация слайд 15).

P: This wonderful story is about two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, they died, but they didn’t stop loving each other. They stayed young forever! (презентация слайд 16)
In 1612 Shakespeare left London. He died on April 23 1616, and he was buried in Stratford. A monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in the Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. And this is the Shakespeare Memorial in Stratford-upon-Avon.
