Привітання.
Організація групи.
Введення
в іншомовну атмосферу, мовленнєва
розминка.
Teacher: Good morning! How are you? It’s high time to begin our lesson. Today we
have an unusual one. There are some guests here. Let’s greet them. Good
morning!
Will you smile?
Well, I see you’re in a good mood today. So, don’t be shy. Let’s start.
Look at the
screen and listen to the poem.
Some people live
in the country
Where the houses
are very small,
Some people live
in the city
Where the houses
are very tall.
But in the
country where the houses are small,
The gardens are
very big,
And in the city
where the houses are tall,
There are no
gardens at all.
What is this
poem about? (pupils’ answers)
You’re right. As
you’ve understood we’ll continue working on the theme “City and country life”
today.
Mason Cooley once
said, “Knowledge and power are in the city; peace and health are in
the country.” What things are more important for you? What place is better
for you to live in? Take a free microphone and express your point of view.
Pupils:
-
I’d
prefer to live in the country and breathe fresh air.
-
My
choice is a city, of course. Only in the city you can taste a real life.
-
Rural
life is more preferable for me because everybody knows each other and people
are friendly.
-
In
my opinion it’s much better to live in the city where the services are better.
-
I’d
like to live in the country and eat healthy food.
-
City
life is the best for me, as I’m a sports fan and in the city I can visit the
matches of my favourite football team.
-
I
adore walking in the fields and forests. That’s why I choose rural life.
-
It’s dangerous to live in a big city nowadays as the
crime rate is constantly increasing; I prefer a quiet country life.
-
I am sure I’d like to live in the city as there are
better job and education opportunities there.
-
I’m a keen cinema-goer, and only in the city I can visit
a good movie-theatre.
-
By all means rural life is better for me, as I am
fond of fishing.
-
As most young people I prefer to live in big city
and have the opportunity to go shopping in the huge trading centres.
Teacher: As I see, tastes differ. Let’s work more on the topic and at the end of
the lesson we’ll see if your opinions remain the same.

1. Samuel Oaks is a 43
years-old farmer whose ancestors lived in the country all their lives.
“The thing I like the most about living on the farm is the change of
seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter – you can see them all come and go,
and each one is completely different. In the city you can’t tell the difference
– you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year
round. Here in the country you eat things at certain time of the year – for
example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. Also we make most of our
food – we make butter and cheese, we grow our own vegetables and bake our own
bread. We never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything is fresh. City people may
think we miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they
miss a lot more than we do- they miss real life”.
2. John Williams is 28 and
he lives in a megalopolises.
“Life is fast here and there is always something to do – cinemas,
theatres, restaurants. Shopping is fantastic – you can buy anything you want in
London, shops are often open late at night. I like the pubs – many have music
in the evening. There are bad things about my city, too, of course. There are
too many people; you have to queue for everything – in the banks, supermarkets,
post offices. And it’s true that London is dirty – people just throw things in
the streets and I hate that. It is also very noisy and there is too much
traffic. But I still prefer London to any other place I know.
3. Sheila Brooks is 25; she
is a young teacher and lives in a small village called Henfield with a
population about 500 people.
“I love it because it is slow and easy. You never have to queue in shops
or banks. The village is clean – the people look after it and don’t throw their
rubbish in streets. The air is clean too because there is not much heavy
traffic. I’s much more friendly here than in a city. One problem is that there
isn’t much to do in the evenings – we haven’t got any cinemas or theatres. But
I still prefer rural life to city life”.
4. Samuel’s daughter Alex is
15 and doesn’t like country life as much as her father does.
“I hate living on the farm. I haven’t got any friends here. I have to
travel 15 miles to school every day in any weather. If I want to go out at
weekends I have to go 20 miles to the nearest town, but the last bus is really
early. I’d prefer to live in the city with good shops and places to go. I never
do anything here but work helping my parents about the farm. I can’t wait to
leave home and get a job in town. I’ll never be a farmer’s wife.
5. Chris Duncan is a 35
years doctor who lives in London but spends most weekends in summer in the
cottage in the village of Ireton Wood.
“For me the life in the country is wonderful – all this fresh air and
the singing of the birds! If I could afford it, I’d give up my practice in
London and come to live here all the year round. I’m tired of the city with its
pollution and the traffic and people rushing about from place to place without
the time to think and look around. Every time I wake up in this cottage, and
look out and see the flowers and the grass and the magnificent line of trees on
the hill over there, I feel it’s good to be alive. Whereas in London it’s
depressing. Standing in queues, waiting for buses and then being stuck in the
underground like sardines. There are so many people that you can’t breathe. And
everyone is in such a rush!
6. Alan Summer, aged 22, is
the son of the farmer. He has his own view on the city and country life.
“For my Dad and me, the country isn’t a matter of looking out of the
window at the trees. It’s a bit different if you have to get up at five in the
morning, with snow on the ground, to milk the cows. And all the time you have
to watch the weather! And the gossips, If you say “Hello” to a girl in this
village, it will get around to everyone in about two hours thanks to her, and
the next thing you know someone will come and ask you when you are going to get
married! All right, I admit we’ve got less crime and it is quiet here. But
there is nothing to do here. In London you’ve got nightclubs and cinemas. And
what about the schools? You’ve got good schools in the city, too. I don’t mind
telling you, if I had better education I wouldn’t be stuck on the farm.

Teacher: You see so many people, so many opinions. Of course,
it’s very difficult to chose where it is better to live your life. Let us
imagine that our today’s guests have to make this difficult choice and let us
help them. We are going to make TV advertisements, persuading people to live in
the city or in the country. Take a piece
of the puzzle, match your puzzles and form the groups. Well done! Look at the
pictures you have. As you see, the first group will persuade us to move to the
country and the second group will tell us all the pros of living in a big city.
Good luck to you, use your creativity and everything we’ve learned and in 3
minutes be ready to present your ads. Take these slogans you can complete them
and use in your presentations.
Teacher: Ok, I hope you are ready to present your ads. Listen to each other’s
presentations attentively and say if you’ve changed your mind about city and
country life at the end of our lesson.
Country
Moo, cock-a-doodle-doo,
quack.
Oh, my godness it’s 5 o’clock in the morning.
Get up and sing! Enjoy every minute of your life admiring beautiful scenery.
Fresh air, peace and nature will be your best
friends. Sweet straberries and cherries, mmm, yummy. Fresh vegetables and
fruit, homemade food are here for you every day. Hm, should I mention the
opportunity to exercise in your garden to grow it all. You’ll be fit as a
fiddle living in the country.
Besides,
living in the countryside is cheaper and safer than in a city.Helpful and
friendly people are all around you.They know everything about you, so they can
give you advice whether you want it or not. Life in the country is so easy and
slow you’ll taste every minute of it.
Don’ t be
frustrated with the entertainment opportunities. One can always enjoy birds
watching, swimming, hiking or fishing. Working in the fields will give you a
wonderful opportunity to keep fit without any fees.
Forget about
traffic jams, rush hours, filthy cars and sticky underground. You will walk
short distances or use your car to drive longer ones. Just imagine the feeling
of living in your own house: there are no noisy neighbours playing the piano
all the nights long, there is a lot of space and you do not need to turn your
music down even at 12p.m. What can be better!
Don’t think
that it’s more difficult to get good education in the village. New technologies
and the Internet are in every part of our world now. You and your kids can get
education or job online. So, don’t miss the chance of your life to change
everything for better. Come and live in the countryside. Be healthy and happy!
Slogans : Fresh air\Healthy food\ Friendly people \A lot of space\ Your
own house
No traffic
jams\Quiet entertainments
City
Bustling
streets, the smell of outdoor cafes, the lights of city ads. Welcome to the
fairy-tale. All these and a lot more you can see living in the city
Shoping,
shopping is everywhere: huge departmrnt stores, supermarkets, antique shops and
fashion boutiques are open for you 24 hours a day – keep your purse open.
Cinemas,
theatres, nightclubs and restaurants are waiting for you. If you are a sport
fan or keen on reading, hundreds of sporting events, numerous libraries are
available to suit every taste.
The speed of
your life is unbelievable. Beep, beep, chooh, chooh, oh, save my ears. Use
comfortable and fast public transport to get wherever you want.Cars, trains,
buses, trolleybuses and taxis will take you to any part of the city very
quickly(if it’s not a rush hour or there is a traffic jam on your way).
The best
schols, colleges and univercities, language and driving courses can make you
the cleverest person ever. Job opportunities are enourmous. One can find a job
to suit any taste. Money, money, money. Yes, you need a lot of it to live in
the city))).
Don’t forget
all those museums, art galleries, concert halls and sights. You can easyly find
where to go and what to see, if you have time, of course. OK, don’t be silly,
come and live in a big city, make your life an everlasting holiday!
Slogans : Great shopping\ Public transport\ Fascitating nightlife
Good job and
education opportunities\Cultural life
Teacher: Great job. Your ads were brilliant. Now tell me please if your views
about country and city life have changed?
P1. No, I still
prefer to live in a big city despite all the beauties of the countryside.
P2: As for me,
now I think that maybe I can move to the country when I have grandchildren. It
is much better to live in the country for them and for me it will be more
peaceful.
