Ход урока
I. Орг. момент.
Good morning, boys and girls! I am glad to see you today. Sit down. Say me please who is absent today.
Is everybody ready to start? I hope you're all ready for your English lesson.
You remember that we discussed the problems of food fairs, healthy types of food, restaurants and cafes in the USA and in our country, favorite American and Russian dishes and your own recipes. We have been discussing the problems of business for about half a month.
And today, as a result of your work, you'll have an opportunity to use your knowledge in new situations. The theme of our lesson is "Our Family Business". Today we revise our grammar material and words. You will work in pairs and groups. Let's start working.
II. Now I want to ask you some questions about business and businessmen.
What do you think about business and businessmen?
(- Running you own business is risky
- Many businesses end up in failure
- Running your own business involves great opportunities
- Working for yourself you do more
- Businessmen are free to do what they like.)
What must businessmen know?
(- To run a successful business, they have to know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.
- They have to be strongly motivated
- They have to drive and stamina.)
III. Now I'll give you same cards. Fill in the necessary words and expressions and dramatize the dialogues. We revise our grammar material and words and use them in new situations.
Think 2-3 minutes.

Учитель:
Does a family business unite the family?
I think you believe that family life is very important and try to keep up family traditions. I hope you will have good families.
V. Answer my questions, please
- Are there businessmen in our town?
- Do you know their surnames?
- Can you name any well-established companies working in our town?
VI. Listen to the text. And say "Who is the hero of this story"
Текст из учебного пособия I. Tarasova "Business Matters" (p.50-51)
How did people get from place to place in good old days? In the good old days there were no cars. Not even in the USA. Can you imagine North America without cars? This had to be changed. First cars were expensive. And this had to be changed too.
But one man knew what he had to do. He was a very talented young man. And in 1896 the streets of Detroit saw his first car. This was the first of many millions of cars which were later produced by his Motor Company.
This man went into the motor-car business in 1896. And in 1903 he founded the Motor Company. His company produced expensive cars, as other car manufacturers.
But soon his company produced all parts for cars. He had come to own forests and factories, coal and iron mines. His main idea was mass production of a good and simple car. Soon blueprints for the Model T were ready.
Price of his car dropped to $550. It $440 in 1915, and $290 in 1924. The man built an industrial empire.
But wealth was not his goal. He gave away much of it in charity. He built a hospital in Detroit. It had the highest standard of comfort.
Our hero was not only an automotive pioneer. He was also a businessman and most importantly he was charitable. (Ответ на вопрос - Генри Форд)
Учитель:
Are there many businessmen like Henry Ford? What makes him unique?
Pay attention, Ford was not only a businessman. He gave away much in charity. You are businessmen too. But nobody says about charity. It's a pity.
VII. Our play "Guess Our Business"
I'll give you cads. You will work in groups. Your group has own business. And the pupils of the class will try to guess the kind of business.
Учащиеся получают карточки с описание их бизнеса. Угадать нужно только с помощью различного рода наводящих вопросов. Таким образом проходит работа по развитию речевых навыков старшеклассников.
VIII. Подведение итогов
Dear friends! I'd like to thank you for your work. You were great! I hope you've learned much and perhaps will use your knowledge of English in the future.
I put you exellent and good marks.
What have we done today? - учащиеся высказывают своё мнение об уроке и подводятся итоги.
IX. Д/з
На подобных занятиях ребята проявляют высокую активность и самостоятельность, они имеют свободу выбора ("семейного бизнеса", например, и объединения в группы по желанию). Атмосфера урока - деловой игры помогла раскрытию творческих способностей старшеклассников: свободное дружеское общение, взаимопомощь, возможность высказать свои идеи, мысли, задуматься о будущей профессии. Поддержка и одобрение учителя, роль которого сводилась лишь к ненавязчивому руководству, а также видимое удовлетворение от результатов работы по английскому языку, часто звучащий смех - всё это можно назвать благоприятным психологическим микроклиматом на уроке.

The woman, our grandmother Прасковья Ивановна, lied in a house near the center of our town. So she opened her cafe near her house. She called the cafe "Your Dream".

My sister and I are manages, and Roman is responsible for the accounts department. Also we employ some engineers and workers.
Ученик 2. Now we'll try to present our product. On the basis of the latest improvement and the newest technology we have designed our electronic dolls.

Our toys are equipped with a thermometer and a timer, so they can tell the time and temperature. They are attractive toys. They are attractive toys. They operate from batteries.
Ученик 3. We hope our business will be a success and will bring us much profit, because more and more parents prefer to buy electronic toys for their children. For example, yesterday we sold dozen of toys.
