Wear the old coat and buy a new book.

Choose a book as you choose a friend.

Role-play

on school holidays. Act out the situation.
VI. Group
work
T: Some days ago I received a letter from my pen friend. She wrote
about her daughter’s favorite books. I’d like you to guess what they are. Read
the extracts and discuss in groups.
( “The Jungle
book” by Rudyard Kipling, “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift, “King Arthur
and the Knights of the Round Table”)
1.
“At seven o’clock on a hot evening in the Seeonee hills, Father
Wolf woke up. There was a little animal at the mouth of the cave. It was
Tabaqui, the jackal. The wolves of India don’t like Tabaqui. He makes trouble,
Father Wolf could see from Tabaqui’s eyes that he wanted to make trouble now.
“Shere Khan”, the Big One, has changed his hunting grounds,’ Tabaqui said.”
2.
“I had slept for many hours. When I awoke it was just daylight. I
tried to get up from the ground, but I could not move! My arms and feet were
held down to the ground with strings. I heard some noise around me, but I could
see nothing. In a little time I felt something alive moving on my foot, then it
came over my body and up to my face. Turning my eyes down as mach as I could, I
saw a man. He was less than 15 centimetres high.”
3.
“There were 150 places at the table. Each knight had his name
written in his place. There were one hundred and twenty-eight knights at the
table. As time went on other brave and good knights came, and King Arthur gave
them places. One place was not filled for a long time. That place was for a
knight who had never done any bad thing to anyone. It was called the “Seat
Perilous”: if a bad man sat in it, he would die. After years Sir Galahad came
and was given that place.”
VII.
SUMMING-UP
T: Today you have got a lot of information about books and libraries
and now we have to sum up. So, are books really the sources of knowledge and
information? Express your ideas in this way. (Method “Press”)
Example:
S1: I think that books are the sources of knowledge.
S2: Because we can get a lot of new things reading books.
S3: For example, if I want to khow about the historical event I can
read a book on history.
S4: That’s why I think that books are the sources of knowledge and
information.
VIII. HOME ASSIGNMENT

lot. Your home task is to write a composition “Books are the sources of
knowledge”.
