Dear students! Today we've got an unusual lesson dedicated to our native land - Amurskaya oblast & the theme of our lesson is "Are you happy to live in Amurskaya oblast?" (1 cлайд)

The basis of our lesson is reading, describing & reflecting about good & bad sides of living in our region.

The Amur Country is famous for its beautiful landscape, unique nature & hospitable people. There are many remarkable places & beautiful sights. (2 слайд)

First of all I'd like to pay your attention at the word "happy" & ask you to give the synonyms of this word. (Synonyms: satisfied, positive, contented, gay, optimistic, pleased, glad, delighted, in high spirits) - 3 слайд.

Let's come back to the beginning of the lesson, review the synonyms of the word "happy" & think thoroughly - what are positive & negative points of living here. Reflect & try to give examples.

For example: unique nature, harsh taiga - hunting, fishing; nearness of borders with China - tourism, cooperation, trading, possibility to get visa & travel abroad; unemployment, difficult social conditions - mass migration, etc.

III. Teacher: What are you left with after this lesson? Do you agree that the Amurskaya oblast is our native land & we should be proud of it in spite of all?

Now I want you to listen to the poem of our Amur poet Grigory Shumeiko, but in Russian:

Амурский край.

 И вот я на последнем вираже,
Не стар ещё, но годы за плечами.
Амурский край - судьба моя уже,
Последний вздох надежды и печали.
Дыша тобой, восторженно любя,
Я стал твоим дождём и снегопадом.
Амурский край, куда мне без тебя?
Другой любви не будет и не надо.
С тобою я до одури мечтал,
С тобою я грустил об  Украине.
Амурский край, ты родиной мне стал,
Об этом говорят  мои седины.
Счастливые года, печали дни,
Разливы рек и пыльные дороги,
Амурский край, Господь тебя храни
За то, что одарил судьбой и слогом.
