Ход урока:

1. Организационный момент.

1) Good morning, my dear! How are you? I’m fine, thank you. There are

some guests here. Good morning dear guests. Welcome to our lesson. I hope you’ll

enjoy our work.

As usual we start our lesson with some questions. Who is on duty today?

What date is it today? What day is it today? Who is absent today?

2) There are a lot of English proverbs about news. Look at the cards and read out

the proverbs.

“Ill news goes fast”

“No news is good news”

“Bad news travels quickly”

“Bad news has wings”

Pay attention to the fact that “news” is singular.

Which of these proverbs have the same meaning?

Read them out and give the Russian equivalent for them.

(читают, переводят называют эквиваленты русских пословиц)

And now can you say, what the name of our lesson today is? (In the news)

And what are we going to talk about? (News)

You are right. And what is our goal today? (to develop speaking skills)

And our targets? (называют, затем читают, переводят)

II. Following-up

1)Introducing problem questions. Revision of the vocabulary

So news means new information and reports of recent events. Where can we find

news? (We can find it in the media.)

What types of media are there? ( Television, radio, newspapers and magazines, the

Internet.)

Yes, we can find news

in newspaper

on television (these words are on the card)

on the Internet

on the radio

Mind prepositions! Read these words out altogether. (повторяют)

And now, let’s speak about yourselves! Boys and girls, what type of media do you

prefer?

Do you prefer watching TV? Maybe you like listening to the radio or surfing the

Net?

(As for me, I like watching TV. I prefer reading magazines. …)

Yes, tastes differ!

What does each type of media provide us with? At home you had to learn some

new words by heart.

Open your vocabularies. Read after me!

-local/national/international news,- daily horoscopes, - interviews, - weather reports, - interesting

articles, - music, - TV guide, - cartoon strips, - chat shows, - advertisements, - celebrity gossip, -

fashion and beauty advice, - documentaries

Use these words to answer the question. -

“What does each type of media provide us with?”

TV provides us with …

Radio provides us with …

Newspapers and magazines provide us with…

Which of these do you like most of all?

(possible answers) I like daily horoscopes on the radio. I like chat shows on TV. I

like cartoon stripes in magazines.

2)Speaking and Reading. Feelings and emotions

Let’s move on to the next stage.

So news and media on the whole play an important role in our life because they

make us experience different feelings and emotions. They can be positive and

negative. On the cards you can see different emotions. Write them into correct

column! Work in pairs!

As you see, they can be positive and negative. Write them into correct column.

3) Relaxation pause

I think it’s time to have a rest. Stand up.

I see your eyes are tired. Let’s do exercise for your eyes.

Look left, look right

Look left, look right
