II. Аудирование текста “Wave the Flag, Mr. President».
Now you’ll
listen to the text “Wave the Flag, Mr. President” and check if your answers
were right. Be ready to answer questions given on your screens. Let’s read
them. And before listening to the text pay attention to the new words from the
text. Lets read them all together (Фонетическая отработка новых лексических
единиц из текста, написанных на мониторе).
(good family
man - хороший семьянин, to persuade - убеждать,
to carry out - выполнять, confident - уверенный, to wave - развивать, to keep
the prices down - снижать цены, powerful - могучий, сильный).
Уч-ся слушают
аудиозапись текста. Script of the text:
”Wave the Flag, Mr.
President.”
Americans want
to be proud of their President, as well as their country. They like him to be
good looking, religious, and a very good family man. They want him to be
strong, to be a good talker, and to be confident about the future. They expect
him to keep the prices down at home and to keep the country looking powerful
abroad.
A President
has to make his job to look easy, and smile confidently when he speaks to the
nation on TV. But in fact, his job is impossible one. He cannot do as much as
he would like, or as the country expects him to do. He can make decisions, but
he cannot always persuade people to carry them out.
One of the
President’s biggest difficulties is that every decision he makes must also be
approved by Congress. But Congress can, and quite often does, refuse to give
its approval. A President who knows how to get Congress on his side is likely
to be a successful President.
Teacher: (контроль понимания прослушанного): Now let’s check up if you guessed right.
-What kind of a person do
Americans expect their President to be?
Pupil 1: I think that they
like him to be good looking, religious, and a very good family man. They want
him to be strong, to be a good talker, and to be confident about the future.
-Is it difficult to be a
President? Why?
Pupil 2: I think that to
be a President is difficult, because he cannot do as much as he would like, or
as the country expects him to do. He can make decisions, but he cannot always
persuade people to carry them out.
-What are Americans proud of?
Pupil 3: Americans want to
be proud of their President, as well as their country.
III. Доклад
учащихся о президентах Америки
Teacher:
Today we honor two great American Presidents: Abraham Lincoln, remembered for
his belief in democracy and equality of all men, and George Washington, known
as the “Father of his country”. (4 уч-ся было дано задание
приготовить сообщения об этих президентах)
Pupil I:
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. When he was born, America
was not a country yet. In belonged to England, a country across the ocean.
People in America didn’t want to belong to England so they fought a war to
become a separate country. G. Washington was an American general in the war. America
won the war and picked a new name for itself: the United States of America. G.
Washington was elected to be its first president.
A legend is
told about Washington as a boy. Young George had a new hatchet and with
it he cut down a small cherry tree. When his father saw the tree, he was angry.
“George,” he said. “Did you do that?” George was afraid to admit that he did.
But the boy decided to tell the truth. “Yes, Father,” he said, “I cut down the
cherry tree with my hatchet. I cannot tell a lie.” G. Washington’s father was
proud of George for telling the truth.
Teacher:

Teacher:
Now let’s listen to the information about Abraham Lincoln.
Pupil Il: Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12 in 1809. Things were
different then. When Abe was a boy, he lived in a log cabin. A log cabin is a
small house made out of logs cut from trees. His father cut down the trees and
made the cabin.
There were no electric lights in
the cabin because electricity hadn’t been invented yet. So young Aby read books
by firelight. Abe’s family was poor. Often he went barefoot because he didn’t
have any shoes.
When A. Lincoln grew up, he
studied hard and became a lawyer. Then he was elected to be a law-maker. In
1861, A. Lincoln became the 16th President of the United States.
During his presidency, A. Lincoln
received several death threats, but he took very few safety precautions. He
usually traveled without a guard because he thought that a president shouldn’t
be shielded from the public. Lincoln was assassinated while talking to the
public at the Ford Theatre. It happened in 1865.

V. Просмотр
видеофильма «Гора Рашмор. США» из серии «Великие творения людей».
Teacher: As I
have already said, there are different ways how the Americans honor their
Presidents. One of them is Mount Rushmore. (Слайд с изображением гор). Now we’ll watch a film about this
Mount. Be attantive because then you’ll do a test. And before watching it pay
attention to the new words from the text. Let’s read them all together.(
inaccessible - неприступные, to immortalize - увековечить, outstanding - выдающийся, to
depict - изображать, achievements - достижения,
compatriots - соотечественники,enterprise – предпринимательство,
dynamite – динамит).Press the button to start watching the
film.
Mount Rushmore
is 6,200-foot mountain in the state of South Dakota. The faces of four American
presidents - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore
Roosevelt - are carved into the mountain. These faces, known as the Mount
Rushmore National Memorial, are the largest carved figures in the world.
The memorial
is the work of the sculptor Gutzon Borglum. The state of South Dakota chose
Borglum for the job because he was famous for huge statues. But, even for
Borglum, this memorial was a challenge.
Borglum began
work in 1927.The only way to get up the mountain was on foot or on horseback.
And Borglum and his helpers had to make the trip hundreds of time just to bring
up the equipment they needed.
Borglum had
prepared a smaller model of the faces. Points were measured on the model, and
then transferred to the mountain to show where to remove rock and how much rock
to remove. Workers then used drills and dynamite to remove rock and create the
faces. This work was, of course difficult and dangerous, especially in the cold
weather.
The Mount
Rushmore Memorial took 14 years to complete. Borglum died shortly before it was
done. His son finished the work. Finally, in 1942, the memorial was opened to
the public. People were amazed. The faces of the presidents looked so real, and
they were about sixty feet high - as high as a five - story building.
