Ход урока
I. Организационный момент. Приветствие. Введение в тему урока.
Слайд №1-2
Teacher: “Good morning, everybody. I’m glad to see you. Today we are going to speak about one celebration which is very popular abroad. ”
Teacher: “What holiday do you associate with the dish in the picture? ”
Слайд №3
Pupil 1: This dish is associated with Christmas, one of the most favorite celebrations in Great Britain, the USA and other countries.
Слайд №4
Teacher: The British people celebrate Christmas on December 25. Christmas is a religious holiday and one of the happiest holidays of the year, because it is the day that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. They prepare for Christmas weeks before. They buy gifts for their family and friends. They choose a tree and decorate it with ornaments and lights. And they prepare special foods and cookies. Christmas is also the day that Santa Claus visits them and brings them presents in bright paper and ribbons. He delivers them on Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas, when they are sleeping. In the morning, they open their present together and then they go to church. People wish each other a “Merry Christmas!”
II. Аудирование.
Teacher: Now open your books on page 41. You’ll listen to the recording and choose the best answer.
Текст для аудирования.
What are the traditions most people celebrate in Britain?
I don’t know whether … erm … Christmas is traditional but I don’t know, I think, Christmas is such a big event I wouldn’t particularly call it a tradition. I would say traditions are, perhaps, smaller things. For example I think, for most people the smaller things are often most important so if you get married you wear ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’ – that type of tradition… .
Christmas in my family … we don’t really celebrate Christmas in my family that much, perhaps, not as much as most people… .
We do gather together but, I think, it is a kind of more political thing within our family. We all gather together because we feel we ought to, not really because we are celebrating a tradition … so, I don’t know, maybe the people will have different opinions on Christmas…
Учащиеся прослушивают текст и отмечают в учебнике упр. 5 (B) стр. 41 правильный вариант.
Andrew’s family gathers together at Christmas because:
- they are celebrating a tradition;
- they feel they should;
- all other people do it.
Teacher: Who knows the correct variant?
Pupil 2: I know. All the members of Andrew’s family gather together at Christmas not because they are celebrating a tradition. They feel they ought to and that’s all.
Teacher: Thank you. You are right.
III. Проверка домашнего задания. Обсуждение текста на стр. 43.
Teacher: Your task for today was to read the text and try to understand it. There is a table here. Let’s decide which bits belong to Lydia and which to Roy.
Текст, который учащиеся читали дома.
- The thing is, you can’t knock it, can you? It’s a great time of year. I definitely still wish it could be Christmas every day and I can honestly say I still like the song. It’s a good song, really.
- Of course, I love the way Santa looks: great beard, cool boots and wild hair. He rocks. And I would like to wear a Santa’s outfit on TV again. I’m definitely not into getting presents, although I do like to buy them. For me all I need is my mater, a nice relaxing time and a good laugh.
- I think Christmas is just an excuse for us to spend money in horrible stores that have horrible, overpriced objects that no one truly wants or desires. I try to shop as little as possible. I hate to spend my money supporting corporations or slave traders.
- I have everything about Christmas I think it’s the most horrible holiday based on gluttony and materialism. I didn’t believe in the Bible in the first place, and Christmas isn’t even the birth of Christ: it’s been totally misdated.
- I don’t go in for all of the trees and decorations and lights and that rubbish. It’s not that I’m against the commercialization of it. That doesn’t bother me, to be honest. No, I just think that it’s a time to be with your mates. So you don’t need all of that other stuff.
- I hate Santa Claus. It’s disgusting: a white-haired old man, a fat, jelly-bellied character coming down a chimney he couldn’t fit down anyway. Elves? Never believed in them. Reindeer? It’s animal exploitation. If a stranger with white hair and a red suit came into my house, I’d shoot him first and ask questions later. And then I’d steal all the gifts and sell them down at the local flea market.
| Lydia (the case against turkey, toys and trees) |
Roy (the case for Santa, stockings and sleigh bells) |
… |
1. thinks that Christmas is a great time of year … |
Teacher: Nastya, will you comment on your choice?
Pupil 3: I’ve put numbers 3, 4, 5 in the first column and numbers 1, 2 into the second. Lydia doesn’t like Christmas and Roy likes it very much.
Слайд №5
Teacher: Let’s answer the questions and discuss the content of the text.
