You should understand that there are many democratic states in the world. And today I propose you to visit the United States America before the elections of the representatives to the Congress.

Bob: Have you been following the presidential campaign this year?

Chris: More or less. I watched the debate last night.

Susan: Me too. I liked the Republican candidate.

Bob: Really? He's too conservative for me. I know he has gone up in the polls lately, but I think he lost the debate last night.

Chris: I don't think so. As usual, he showed that hels well informed and that he's a terrific speaker.

Susan: besides, he has a lot of experience in Washington, D.C., where he's very well respected. He's a former senator.

Bob: Well? I think that the Democrats have a better platform.

Chris: I haven't made up my mind yet. I still don't know who to vote for.

5. Послетекстовый этап.

You have listened to the conversation between Susan, Bob, Chris. And now I propose to play a little. Imagine that one of you, for example, has listened to their conversation and think that it is very interesting. You would like to retell the main idea to your friends, but your friends want to know more information about it and ask you some questions.

So (имя ученика) will retell us the main idea of the conversation and you'll ask him/her your questions to get as much information as you can. Pay attention to the grammar structures.

(Учащиеся задают 7–9 вопросов по содержания прослушанного диалога)

7. Отработка навыков говорения. Составление программы кандидата.

Well, and now don't you think that the main characters have a problem? They haven't made their mind yet.

What should each candidate have if he really wants to be elected by the population?

This platform has to include different spheres of our life. Let's help candidates with their platforms and help our characters to make up their minds.
