Ход урока

I. Организационный момент

II. Речевая разминка

Обсуждение прослушанной магнитофонной записи [1] на основе домашнего задания по пройденному материалу на предыдущих уроках.

Teacher: Today we are going to discuss different types of music, your musical tastes, your attitude to different types of music, music power. Try to think of everything we learned and read about music at our previous lessons, use your own experience during our discussion.

Now be quiet, sit in a comfortable position.

Listen to the tape, follow the instructions and answer the questions (см. Приложение1.ppt):

  1. What effect did the music make on you?
  2. What were you dreaming about?
  3. What kind of music did you `hear` if any?
  4. Is it the type of music you usually listen to or not?

“Sit yourselves comfortably on your chairs. Close your eyes and go into the world of your thoughts and imagination. Just be aware of all the thoughts that are coming into your mind…pictures, thoughts, worries, hopes – imagine that you have a large basket… Now, noises and things you can hear from outside…put those in the basket as well. Put the basket on one side, remember you can come back to your thoughts later if you want to. Listen to your own breathing…and as you breathe in, take in clear fresh air… Now you are at your favourite place, it might be a beach or a mountain path in the moonlight, it is very quiet… Then you hear the sound of music, gradually the music becomes louder and clearer and you realize it is your favourite music. Listen to the music and enjoy it…

Unfortunately it`s time to go. Slowly notice your surroundings again. Come back from your dream and say goodbye to the music. When you are ready, bring your attention back to this room, to the people who are here.” [1]

Teacher: Now bring your concentration back to the classroom. Let’s discuss questions 1–4.
