Teacher: What art would you like to be really good at? Have you ever acted before audience? At the previous lessons we spoke much about the role of literature in the lives of people and in your life. Today I prefer you another theme to discuss. I think you will agree with me  that theatre is also a wonderful kind of art. Theatre educates people, influences their way of life, help them to solve problems, find answers to a lot of questions. But theatre also entertains us. It is a place where we can have a good rest, we enjoy ourselves listening to good music, splendid voices and seeing the excellent acting of the performers.

Teacher: while preparing to this lesson, I interviewed some pupils of our school. I wanted to know their attitude towards theatre. Work with cards.

2.Listen. Agree or disagree:

A boy of 14: You ask me if I love theatre. I am not interested in it at all. Theatre is our past and now is a time of TV and video. I think that teenagers don’t like to visit theatres.

A girl of 15: What do I think of theatre? I can’t say that I am a thatre goer, but sometimes when I have free time and no idea how to spend it, I go to the theare with my friends, but only to our musical theatre, as I am sure that theatre exists for our amusement and entertainment. When I am at the theatre I don’t want think much, I only want to rest, to laugh and enjoy myself.

A girl of 14: I love theatre very much and my friends consider me to be a theatre-fan. I am fond of seeing comedies, dramas and tragedies, but I also watch ballet .

They are difficult for me. It’s a pity.

A boy of 15: My thoughts about theatre? I think that this kind of art is dying now, because nobody is interested in the fact that young people don’t like it. That’s why theatres are visited mostly by grown-ups and old people. I think that something should be done to change the situation.

Teacher: Your opinions are different from theirs. But do you really know theatre well? Do you know  Kazakh, Russian and foreign classical plays of different countries and  of different times?
