II. The Main Body of the Lesson.

4. Presenting new material.

T.: On the blackboard you can see some new words. Read them and try to explain them in English.

domestic – relating to people’s homes and family life.

management – the process of controlling or managing something.

conveniences – a condition that makes it easier to do something.

require – to need something or someone.

clothesline – a rope on which you hang wet clothes so that they can dry.

5. Practising new material.

T.: Listen to the text. While listening to it pay attention to the use of new words.

Housekeeping is the everyday practice of domestic science at home. It is the management of a house and the affairs of a house and family. It is what someone in your family has to do in spite of all the modern conveniences that townspeople have today.

Life in the countryside, however, requires much more time and effort. Somebody has to chop wood and bring water for cooking and washing. You may have a vegetable garden, too, where you can grow vegetables for the table. You may keep chickens and other domestic animals. Somebody must take care of them.

Domestic duties may take much of your time, but if all the members of the family help, if each one has his special duties, keeping house won’t be so difficult.

Children help their parents in different ways. They can clean the house, make their beds, bring in dry things from the clotheslines, do the ironing and even cook simple meals. Junior schoolchildren lay the table and help with the washing-up. If the family is large, the older children help to look after the little ones, and that is a great help to the mother.

In this way children learn to do things for themselves, and get practice in housekeeping.

Answer the questions:

1. What do you know about housekeeping?
2. What are your domestic duties?
3. How much time do they take?
4. How do children help their parents?
5. Can you name some children’s home duties not mentioned in the text?

 Reading.

T.: We usually help our parents about the house, to cook some dishes. You will read the text about the way people cooked at different times.

   People throughout history used different methods of cooking.

   People roasted meat over small open fires. Boiling appeared later than other methods of cooking because it needed a container for the water. People boiled food in leather, wood basket and shells before metal containers were developed.

   During the Middle Ages, a period that lasted from the AD 400s to the 1500s, people in Europe used fireplaces for cooking. They heated food in a kettle and roasted meat over the fire. Only the wealthy had ovens in their homes.

   Iron cook stoves, most of which burned wood, became popular in the early 1800s. Gas cookers began to be used in cities during the 1860s.

   Electric cookers became popular in the 1930s.

   Microwave ovens were introduced in the 1950s. As a result, cooking today is much easier and faster than ever.
