Today Is Celebrated...

   In Russia, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, unlike most countries round the world. Initially, Mother’s Day was never celebrated in Russia. But in the 1940s, this day became popular amongst Russian women who declared a day for rebellion women struggling for equal rights. It was Russian President Boris Yeltsin who officially declared last the Sunday of every November as Mother’s Day. The day holds a lot of importance as it comes as a great opportunity for children to express their intense love and care towards their mother. As such, Mother’s Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm and zeal all over the country. It is altogether an emotional day for every mother in Russia. Children make endless efforts to make this day joyful and memorable for their mother.

Ways to celeberate Mother’s Day in Russia =)

    Mother’s Day in Russia is celebrated with lots of excitement and fun. Mothers sit back and relax while the children prepare special meals for them. Mother’s Day is seen as an opportunity to promote a great bonding in the family. Children thank their mothers for everything they have conferred upon them. They thank them for undying love and care. Young children gift handmade cards and crafts to their mother and write small quotes on them express their deepest feelings. The entire family generally goes out for dinner.

Дата добавления: 21.05.2014

Ход урока:

1.     Организационный этап.

Good morning students. Glad to see you. Have you got any news you`d like to share with us?

2.     Введение в атмосферу иноязычного общения.

Three Little Words

There are three little magic words

That will open any door with ease.

Two little words are "Thank you!"

And the other little word is "Please!"

Let`s read the poem you see on the blackboard (see in the papers). How do you think how it`s connected with our lesson?

3. Постановка цели и задач урока. Мотивация учебной деятельности учащихся.

So, as you understand, we have to be always polite. And that is the point we have to discuss today. We`ll have learnt some rules of leading a polite conversation by the end of our today`s lesson. Moreover, we`ll have revised two more English tenses: the Past Simple and the Present Perfect, which are often used in conversations.

4. Проверка домашнего задания.

And now, please, let`s check up your homework. But before, let`s think of the rules of polite behaviour while listening to your classmates: - to be quiet

-         not to interrupt

-         be attentive

-         etc.

Thank you very much for your work.

5. Выполнение задач стандартного типа.

Now, we`ve revised some polite behaviour rules. Let`s get acquainted with some rules which help us be polite in conversations.

Ex. 27 on p. 15. Listen to two dialogues and think which conversation is more polite.

Now, listen to them once again and think of the things which make Indira`s conversation more polite.

Let`s compare your guesses with the ones given in the help box on p. 16.

6. Выполнение задач реконструктивно-вариативного типа.

Now, you work in pairs. Ex. 28, p. 16.

Let`s check up your dialogues.

The next task is to build your own polite conversations. Imagine that Mr. Smith is inviting you to a “European Village” (a meeting where national cuisines are presented). You can be a reporter, a participant or Mr. Smith.

Don`t forget that you have to be polite.

As soon as you are ready let me know.

It`s time to check up your dialogues.

7. Физкультминутка.

“A polite footpath”

Draw a table on the board with small squares in it. There are the following phrases in the squares. We divide the students into two teams. Each team gets a paper with the words in Russian (their English equivalents are on the board) and they have to cross out the words to get a footpath from one side of the table to the other (with chalk of different colours).

The cards:

Team 1 1. пожалуйста  2. рад слышать это 3. извини(те) 4. с удовольствием 5. спасибо  6. пожалуйста 7. доброе утро 8. не мог бы ты…? 9. удачи 10. прости(те) 11. не хотел бы ты? 12. спасибо

Team 2 1. пожалуйста  2. спасибо 3. не хотел бы ты? 4. с удовольствием 5. жаль это слышать  6. пожалуйста 7. это так мило с твоей стороны 8. не мог бы ты…? 9. прости(те)  10. мне жаль 11. хорошего дня 12. спасибо

The ways which are supposed to be at the end of the game:

Well done! I see that you know many polite words and phrases.

8. Повторение пройденного материала.

And now we need to speak about two more English tenses. So, please, be very attentive while revising the rule.

ПРИМЕРЫ ДИКТАНТОВ (для подготовки к олимпиадам, например)

VI. Children can play sports all the year round. They like to take part in the competitions, to see who is the quickest, the strongest, the best jumper, and who is the best swimmer or player. Children of different classes hold competitions in different kinds of sports. Many boys and girls show good results. All the competitions and games are very popular with the pupils. A lot of fans always come to watch them. Sport makes us strong, healthy, cheerful and quick. It gives us many moments of joy and pleasure. Besides we always feel fine. It is good for all.

VII. Listening to music is my favoutite pastime. I can say that music is my hobby. I am good at playing the violin and the piano, while my brother enjoys playing the recorder. He is also crazy about the guitar. He began to play the guitar at the age of 12. There is never a dull moment when he comes to stay: there is always something interesting and amusing happening. Music makes us feel cheerful. Everybody is interested in the new songs my brother sings.

VIII. We live in a very beautiful region. The place we live in is surrounded by mountains and forests. Forests stretch for miles and miles in this part of the country. High mountains rise above the plain. A lot of nice lakes occupy a very large territory. You can walk long distances along the lakeshores. Green valleys are full of different plants. The nature in the mountains and valleys differs greatly. The tops of the mountains are rocky and deserted. The valleys are full of flowers and grass.

IX. Our planet is very large and beautiful. There are many continents, seas and oceans on it. Men have sailed across the oceans, discovered new lands on our planet and have explored them. In old times, voyages were hard and dangerous, but all the same, brave sailors made voyages. They reached the shores of far-off continents and islands. When the explorers returned home, they wrote about the nature of new lands, about the people who lived there and about their traditions.

What's the Holiday Today?

Unity Day (also called Day of People’s Unity or National Unity Day; Russian: День народного единства, Denʹ narodnogo yedinstva) is national holiday in Russian Federation held on November 4 (October 22, Old Style). It commemorates the popular uprising which expelled Polishoccupation forces from Moscow in November 1612, and more generally the end of the Time of Troubles and the Polish-Muscovite War (1605–1618).

The day's name alludes to the idea that all classes of Russian society united to preserve Russian statehood when there was neither a tsar nor apatriarch to guide them. In 1613 tsar Mikhail Romanov instituted a holiday named Day of Moscow’s Liberation from Polish Invaders.^[1] It was celebrated in the Russian Empire until 1917, when it was replaced with a commemoration of the Russian Revolution. Unity Day was reinstituted by the Russian Federation in 2005, since when the year 1612 has been celebrated instead of 1917 every November 4. The day is also the feast day of the Russian Orthodox icon of Our Lady of Kazan.
