Good morning, children!

Good morning!

Sit down, please!

Different people have different tempers. On different parts of the day everybody has different mood. Let’s see, how you are now. Take your “faces”, and if you are well, great – draw a smile; if you feel all right – draw a face without a smile; and if you are sad or unhappy – draw a sad face.

Now, show me your faces, please. Well, I see that everybody is happy, so we can start our lesson. (Some of you are not happy. But I am sure your mood will change to the end of the lesson.)

Role – play on the following situations:

Imagine your school friend is ill and has missed several days. Some new things has happened at school during that time. (For example, you’ve got a new English teacher.) Phone your friend and have a talk with him/her.

The pupils role play their situations.

  1. Before we start the more serious work, let’s have fun. The pupils prepared some jokes for you.
  2. Reading.

Now, we are going to read the text to get some information.

Before we start, repeat new words after me, they are on the list.

The pupils read the text. Then they do the exercises below the text.

An article or story usually contains several paragraphs. Each paragraph has details about a different main idea. Read the story.

Last Friday the children at AcornElementary School had their yearly pet show. Many children brought their own pets to the show. Later everyone cast votes in choosing the favorite pet of the show.

The cages and cannels were set in the gymnasium. There were forty different animals in all. A talking parrot kept saying “Hi, there!” to everyone. There were five other birds, including two canaries , two parakeets, and one duck. There were also two box turtles, one hamster, one brown rabbit, and four goldfish. There were ten cats and fifteen dogs of different breeds.

One animal was almost everyone’s favorite. That was Impy, the chimpanzee. Impy received far more votes than any other pet in the show. He seemed to enjoy the honor.The chimpanzee shook hands with all the boys and girls after the votes were counted and it was announced that Impy had won the title ‘Favorite Pet.’

Parakeet (n) – a small bird from the parrot family, usually with a long tail
