Introducing where you live
There
are many different kinds of houses and apartments. For example, a terraced
house, a semi-detached house, or a detached house. Terraced houses have other
houses on both sides. A semi-detached house has another house on one side and
a detached house stands by itself.
Open
your books at page 23 and do exercise 1a. Look at the pictures and match them
with the types of the houses.
S1,
ask any student of the class what kind of house is most common in Belarus.
If
you live in a very tall building with many floors, you can say you live in a
high-rise (in the US), or a tower block (in the UK).
сSometimes, a
house is divided into apartments. Apartments come in many different sizes. If
an apartment just has one room, which is a bedroom and a living room
together, it’s called a studio. Large apartments might be duplex apartments.
This means the apartment has more than one floor. Let’s fill in the scheme
with the names of places where you can live.
S1,
use these words and ask any student where he/she lives.

Describing your home
If
you want to describe your home, what can you talk about? Well, you could
start by talking about what rooms it has.
As
for me, I
live in a block of flats in a new residential area which is called Borovki. My flat has a
bedroom, a living room and a kitchen. What other rooms might you have in your
home? You might have a dining room where people can sit and eat together.
Maybe you have a study or an office where you can work or a balcony where you
can sit outside. Now let’s fill in the scheme with the names of rooms.
S1,
use the scheme and ask any student of the class what rooms there are in
his/her home.

Saying what you like and dislike
Look
at the blackboard! Listen and repeat after me: spacious [ ˈspeɪ.ʃəs ], light
[ laɪt ], noisy [ ˈnɔɪzi
], stuffy [ ˈstʌf.i ], cosy [ ˈkəʊ.zi ],
cramped [ kræmpt ], draughty [ ˈdrɑːf.ti ], dark [ dɑːk ], convenient [ kənˈviːniənt ].
Find
the adjective according to the following definition:
large
and with lots of room (spacious), comfortable in a warm way (cosy), with lots
of natural light (light), close to shops, transport, your school
(convenient), having not enough space (cramped), getting not enough light
(dark), with cold air coming in (draughty), uncomfortable in hot weather
(stuffy), with lots of noise (noisy).
Now
let’s have some moving activities. Listen to the rules, please. Stand up if
you hear an adjective whose meaning is positive and stay still if the meaning
is negative.
Fill
in the scheme with these adjectives.
Ss,
could you use any of these words to describe your home?
4.
And now, write who you live with.
S1,
look at the scheme and ask any other student who he/she lives with. OK, that was
easy!
5.
Describing your neighbourhood
First,
be careful with the word “neighbourhood”. Your neighbourhood is the
area near your home. It’s not a person.
Answer
my questions:
Is
your home in the city centre, in the suburbs, or is it outside the city? How
could you describe your neighbourhood? Is it quiet or lively? Are there many
cafés, bars, restaurants, or other places to go? Are there shops, parks, or
sports facilities?
Write
down the words which can describe your neighbourhood.

Review
Now,
let’s try to put everything together. Use this scheme and talk about your
home.
