Stages
I. Introduction.
The objectives of the lesson.
Today we keep speaking about the family as
one of the most essential values of people’s life. Today we’ll produce the
mock-up of the magazine ‘Happy Life’
We’re going to discuss the materials submitted
to the magazine and to prepare your materials for the presentation.
II. Warming-up activities.
People are becoming more aware of the
importance of the family network. When the traditional family unit breaks down
everything goes with it, but if you have parents, grandparents, the structure
is more stable. The understanding of the importance of the family problems,
demographic situation in our country is the cause why 2008 is announced as the
Year of the Family in our country.
III. Phonetic activities.
When we think about our family it is
usually associated with our household, the place where we live with our
relatives.
Look at the blackboard. Here you can see
some transcribed proverbs. Read them correctly and be careful about stress.
Home, sweet home!
East or West, home is best.
There's no place like home.
Put them down into your sheet paper.
Mr. McEwen narrated about his family home.
Listen to his interview, fill in the gaps in the dialogue. Besides you should
be ready to answer the question: ‘What is Mr. McEwen’s attitude to his house?’

mr
Mcewan Yes. This is my

(6)____________, too.
journalist
Was he a good teacher?
mr McEWAN
I think so. He was very kind to the children. He was very (7)_______. It wasn't so difficult to work with him.

humor
(2) forty-five (7) calm
(3) violin (8) proud
(4) 1905 (9) wonderful fun
(5) heart problem (10) listen to the
radio
1. What do you value in family relations
most?
sharing (mutual) understanding
protection trust
respect security comfort
privacy
The family is considered to be one of the nature's
masterpieces.
Every masterpiece is born in pain, so it would be a mistake
to think that a happy family doesn't face any problems. Can you name them?
(Pupils name the problems: the lack of
privacy, ….)
One of them is the misunderstanding between children and
their parents, so-called ‘generation gap’.
It is a well-known fact that at a certain age children
tend to think that they are
very different from their parents. Their parents’ values, behaviour are too old-fashioned. And children know better. However as a rule they owe their parents
much more than they think they do. A famous writer once said: "When I was 20 I used to think "How
stupid my father is". Now I am past
50, I keep thinking "How wise my father was".
Some teenagers dream to live on their own, to be
independent.
And what do you think? Is it always good to be on your
own?
To be
on your own is bad because…
|
To be
on your own is good because…
|
- There
is nobody around you
- Nobody
feels jealous of you
- Nobody
is interested in you
- You
have to run everything in your house
|
- Nobody
wants to know what you are up to
- There
is no lack of privacy
- You
don’t work for others like an unpaid slave

IV. Reading.
Teacher:
And now I’d like you to read a
story about the complicated period in people’s life – adolescence.
It’ll be the expressive reading with the
elements of dramatization.
1. Read the text, then put the sentences
(a-1) in the logical order.
TEEN AGE
One day I walked down N. street. It
was raining. I felt lonely. No sun, no green trees, no smiling faces. November
was in my soul.
I saw a monument. I didn't know who the
figure was. Frankly speaking, it mattered nothing to me. But I came across a
crazy idea: to talk to him.
'Hi! I am as alone as you are.'
To my surprise he said: 'Hi!’ I was
shocked! I have never heard the voice of a monument.
'I see you are shocked. Don't you know
that monuments can talk like people?'
'But why haven't people ever heard your
voice?'
'Alas! People have never tried to talk to
us. You think we are a mere mass of marble or bronze. I observe people and
think a lot about them. They are passing by so fast, and nobody looks around!
Have you ever looked at the sky? Have you ever seen the stars?'
'I'm sorry for the mankind. But in our
practical world we suffer from a lack of time. We can't spend it on such
stuff’, I tried to explain.
'But then how cruel and selfish you are!
In my first life (when I was a man) I was like you. I wanted to be at the top.
All people wanted to be at the top! But I was the best!'
'Oh, I know who you are. You are Napoleon,
aren't you?' I guessed.
'Foolish girl! You are so naive!'
'Stop! Don't forget that you are only a
monument.'
'Sorry. You - people - are all quite the
same.'
'Forgive me, please.'
The monument kept silent for several
minutes and for those minutes I waited. Frankly speaking, I felt admiration
talking to him. Then I said, "Hi, Mr. Napoleon! What are you thinking
about?"
'Are you still here? I am thinking about
eternal things. But why are you here? Your parents are worrying about you. They
are waiting for you. Your mom has already cooked a tasty dinner, your dad is
sitting and watching TV as usual; your brother is listening to his crazy music.
They love you. Go home and don't disturb me!'
After his words I thought: 'Really, what
am I doing here? Alone, in the rain? It's simply my dangerous age - teen age,
as my mom says'.
Put the sentences (a-1) in the logical
order.
a. Your parents are worrying about you.
b. To my surprise the monument began
speaking.
c. What am I doing here?
d. November was in my soul.
e. How cruel and selfish you are!
f. A crazy idea came to my mind.
g. I observe people passing by.
h. I felt lonely.
i. It's simply my teen age.
j. They love you.
k. I'm thinking about eternal things.
1. It was raining.
Teacher:
So, it’s not easy to make head or tail of
oneself at this period. Youth is really a difficult time, isn’t it?
Here is an exercise in which I believe we’ll find some
advice.
2. Read the text below. Use the word given
in capitals at the end of each line to form a word that fits in the space in
the same line.
YOUTH IS A DIFFICULT TIME
Every day we have to make important (1)________.

try to make your dreams come true.
ignorant - невежественный literate - грамотный, образованный
RELAXATION:
Leisure
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare!
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance
And watch her feet, how can they dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is, if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.
W.H.
Davies (1871 – 1940)

cover will be blue. Besides, I'm going to include a lot of photos of different
families.

interesting pictures that could be used with this or that material. I think we

Technical
editor (T).
“Leisure time” Section
Correspondent (P2) There will be a song for mothers and a poem for

Technical
editor (T).
“Lifestyle” Section
Correspondent (P1)
Correspondent (P2) I'd like to propose my article about changes in family
life of Britain. In recent years there have been many changes in family life of
Britain. I think this material is very important.
Correspondent (P3)
Technical
editor (T).
“Youngster” Section
Correspondent (P1)
Correspondent (P2)
Correspondent (P3) We have a teenager's letter. This girl writes about her problems with the parents and
sisters. And we've got a letter of advice in agony column.
Technical editor (T). So, I think,
everything is ready for our magazine! Let's collect all the material together.
I'd like to say some words about our
magazine "Happy family":
- On the first page there'll be
the song for our dear mothers "More".
- On the second page you'll see the
article about family values. The author of the article writes about eternal
values: love, caring, respect.
- On the third page you'll read a
teenager's letter. This letter is about generation gap in our country.
- And of course, we've got a letter of
advice in agony column.
- Besides, you'll read a very interesting
article about American family holidays.
Our magazine will
be full of impressive photos and exciting pictures. So this magazine is worth
reading,
