LEARNING ENGLISH IS GREAT FUN!
1-й ведущий: Dear friends! What do you think about learning English? Is it difficult? Boring? Useful?
Is it interesting? Necessary? Is it cool? Is it great fun? Yes, it is. Learning English is great fun. And today we are going to prove it.
2-й ведущий: A skit or a sketch? What is it? It is a short theatrical piece of humour.
1-й ведущий: Aren’t we going to see some sketches?
2-й ведущий: Oh, yes. You will see funny , sketches, we’ll sing songs, and I am sure we’ll enjoy our party and have great fun.
1-й ведущий: Well, let’s get started. First of all I want to ask our friends what a teenager is. What do you think? (Ведущие обращаются к учащимся, сидящим в зале, передают им микрофоны.)
Pupil 1: I think that a teenager is a person who can’t remember to walk the dog but never forgets a phone number.
Pupil 2: I think that a teenager is some one who can hear his or her favourite singer 3 blocks away but not their mother calling from the next room.
Pupil 3: I think that a teenager is a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson but can’t make a bed.
Pupil 4: I think that a teenager is a connoisseur of two kinds of music – loud and very loud.
Pupil 5: I think that a teenager is an original thinker who is positive that his or her mother was never a teenager.
Pupil 6: I think that a teenager is a romantic who never falls in love more than once a week.
Pupil 7: I think that a teenager is a student who spends 12 minutes studying history and 12 hours studying for his or her driving licence.
2-й ведущий: It was very interesting to listen to these different ideas, wasn’t it?
1-й ведущий: Yes, it was. But now let’s imagine that we are in England. And we are going to visit the Globe Theatre. Can you see two tourists visiting the exhibition at the Globe Theatre.
Sketch AT THE GLOBE THEATRE
Woman: Look at all these things from the theatre in Shakespeare’s time!
Man: Yes, isn’t it exciting? There’s Shakespeare’s computer!
Woman: No, that’s impossible!
Man: What do you mean?
Woman: Well, Shakespeare didn’t use a computer.
Man: Didn’t he?
Woman: No, they didn’t have computers in those days. Shakespeare used a typewriter.
Man: Oh, yes, of course.
Woman: Do you think that’s Shakespeare’s TV?
Man: Where?
Woman: Over there. It’s very old.
Man: No, Shakespeare didn’t have a TV.
Woman: Why not?
Man: Because he went to the theatre every night. He didn’t have time to sit at home and watch TV.
Woman: No, of course not
Man: Look at these! Cassettes of all Shakespeare’s plays!
Woman: Did he have a cassette recorder?
Man: Yes, I’m sure he did. I expect he recorded all his plays at the Globe Theatre.
Woman: Oh, and here’s an old telephone!
Man: Hay, why don’t we call Shakespeare!
Woman: Don’t be silly! We can’t call him.
Man: Why not?
Woman: Because we don’t know his phone number!
2-й ведущий: Summer is coming. What do people like to do in summer?
1-й ведущий: To travel, but do they always buy tickets?
2-й ведущий: We’ll find out it in a moment.

Passenger: Er –
Inspector: And this is a first-class compartment.
Passenger: Yes, it is very nice, isn’t it?

Passenger: No, they don’t.
Inspector: What?

Passenger: I can’t leave the train.
Inspector: Why not?
Passenger: It’s moving!
Inspector: Not now, sir. At the next station.
Passenger: Oh.

Passenger and inspector together: Leave the train.

Mike: That’s right, mister. We’re digging a hoe in the middle of the sidewalk.
Sam: Why?
Dan: Huh?
Sam: Why are you digging a hole in the middle of the sidewalk in the middle of the night?
Mike: Why are you standing there in the middle of the sidewalk in the middle of the night? And why are you asking questions?
(Nancy walks by. She is coming from work.)
Nancy (to Sam): What are you doing?
Sam: I’m watching them.
Nancy: What are they doing?
Sam: I don’t know. Ask them.

Nancy: Oh, no, officer. They’re not digging a hole for Public Works.
Police officer: Are you digging a hole for the Water Department?
Sam: No, they’re not digging a hole for the Water Department.
Police officer: Oh! (He walks toward a police call box.)
Girl: Officer, what are you doing?
Police officer: I’m calling a patrol car.
Boy: Why?
Police officer: Because they’re digging a hole under the National Bank, THAT’S why!!!
2-й ведущий: What a funny story! Oh!
1-й ведущий: What’s wrong?
2-й ведущий: I have a terrible toothache.
1-й ведущий: You should go and see the dentist then.
SKETCH AT THE DENTIST
(Two patients – a man and a woman are sitting in the waiting-room. The woman is calm, but the man is very nervous.)
Man: Um… is he good?
Woman: Pardon?
Man: The dentist, is he good?
Woman: I don’t know.
Man: You don’t know?
Woman: No, I haven’t seen him before. He’s new.
Man: New?
Woman: Yes. It’s his first day.
Man: Oh… This is my first visit, you know.
Woman: Oh, really?
Man: It’s the first time I’ve been here.
Woman: Oh.
Man: Don’t you understand? It’s the first time I’ve been to the dentist in my life!
Woman: I see!
Man: (looks at his watch) He’s late, isn’t he?
Woman: Well, it is his first day.
Man: Oh, well, perhaps I won’t wait. I can come back tomorrow… or the next day.
(They hear the dentist coming.)
Woman: Ah, here he comes now.
Man: (disappointed) Oh, good.
The “dentist” comes in, carrying a large bag.
“Dentist”: Ah, good morning, good morning, good morning. Sorry I’m late. Now, who’s first?
Woman: He was here first.
Man: Oh, no, after you.
Woman: No, no, you were before me.
Man: No, no, ladies first.
“Dentist”: Now, now, what seems to be the matter?
Man: I’ve got a bad tooth.
Woman: So have I.
“Dentist”: Well, I can treat you both at the same time.
Man and woman together: Both at the same time?
“Dentist”: Yes. I’ve got two pieces of string .Look!
Woman: String? To take out a tooth? Have you done that before?
“Dentist”: Not on people, no. But I tried it this morning on the cat.
Woman: And was the cat all right?
“Dentist”: Oh, yes! It got up, ran across the room, and jumped out of the window. And we live on the 13th floor.
Woman: On the 13th floor?
“Dentist”: Don’t worry, the cat is not superstitious.
Man: But dentists don’t use string to take out teeth!
“Dentist”: Don’t they? What do you want, then?
Man: Well, to begin with I’d like an anaesthetic.
“Dentist”: Oh, you’d like an anaesthetic, would you? Just a minute. (He takes a hammer out of his bag).
Ah, yes. Here we are.
Woman: What’s that?
“Dentist”: A hammer.
Man: Ah! Is that the anaesthetic?
“Dentist”: I’m not sure. It’s the first time I’ve given an anaesthetic. Sit still.
(He hits the table; this frightens the man, who faints.)
Man: Oh!
“Dentist”: Oh, it works! (He puts the hammer down.) Now, madam, what’s the matter with you?
Woman: I’ve got a pain.
“Dentist”: Where?
Woman: In my mouth.
“Dentist”: Yes, I know it’s in your mouth, but which tooth?
Woman: This one here.
“Dentist”: Ah, yes, a molar.
Woman: What are you going to do?
“Dentist”: I’m going to take it out.
Woman: How?
“Dentist”: I don’t know.
Woman: You don’t know?
“Dentist”: No. This is the first time I’ve taken out a molar. In fact, it’s the first time I’ve taken out a tooth.
Woman: The first time you’ve taken out a tooth!
“Dentist”: Yes. This is a very important day for me – my first extraction. Now, where’s that hammer?
Woman: Listen, I don’t want the hammer and I don’t want the string. I want you to take my tooth out with a pair of –
“Dentist”: A pair of scissors?
Woman: No.
“Dentist”: A pair of socks?
Woman: No.
“Dentist”: Oh, just a minute. (He looks inside his bag, and takes out a large pair of forceps.) These?
Woman: Yes, I suppose so.
“Dentist”: Right then. Open your mouth.
Woman: But what about the anaesthetic?
“Dentist”: Oh, yes. Pass me the hammer.
Woman: I don’t want the hammer. I want a proper anaesthetic. I want an injection.
“Dentist”: An injection?
Woman: Yes.
“Dentist”: Just a moment. (He looks inside his bag and takes out a large syringe.) Ah, yes, this is for injections, isn’t it? How does it work?
Woman: Well, you’re the dentist. Don’t you know?
“Dentist”: No, it’s the first time I’ve used one of these. Well, I’ll have a try. Open your mouth.
Woman: No. I don’t think you really know… er..no, no, I’ll come back another day. I…
Man: (he wakes up) Where am I? Hey, what are doing?
“Dentist”: I’ll be with you in a moment, sir. Now sit still, madam…
Man: No, no, stop that! You’re absolutely crazy!
Woman: I agree. He’s absolutely crazy, completely mad. Let’s get out of here.
Man: Oh ,yes, good idea. (The man and the woman leave.)
“Dentist”: Hmm, that worked very well. (He puts his things into the bag, laughing to himself.)
The real dentist arrives.
Dentist: Oh, good morning. Sorry I’m late. It’s my first time I’ve been here. Are you the only one?
“Dentist”: Yes, there’s just me.
Dentist: Right. You can come straight in, then.
“Dentist”: Oh, good. I hate having to wait.
1-й ведущий: Are you all right? What about your tooth? Was your dentist good?
2-й ведущий: Oh, yes. Everything is OK. And MY dentist was great!
We can finish our party with the song.
