Reading

Учні читають текст “Lessons of  friendship” з музичним супроводом (текст на екрані )

God sends friends when we need them the most and every friend has a special purpose in our lives. We often find new friends in unexpected places.    Despite the distance between us, a real friendship grows across the miles.

 We sometimes expect to kick us down, a true friends helps us stand back up. We should not wait to express the appreciation for our friends, if we do it will be too late.

 We should open to the friends’ view as two people can look at the thing and see something different. We should not judge our friends but respect their way of life, even when we disagree with it. We should not only take the time to talk to our friends but should listen and try to understand. If we can’t understand we should accept.

Sometimes friends hurt us unintentionally, but we should forget and forgive. They sometimes need time and space, and we should be thoughtful and understanding of their needs. We should treat our friends kindly today, for the people we like the most are often taken away from us too soon.

Friendship is like a candle that lights our way and shines forever in our hearts.

T: So tell me please what we must do to be true friends?

P: We must help and support our friends. We should be caring and opened to others. We should not judge but respect their ways. We must forgive and forget insults. We must be kind and help our friends in difficult time, I think it is the most important in our friendship. We should not forget to say “thank you” to our friends.

We must be honest, keep promises and secrets. We should treat our friends kindly.

T:  I think you understand  that only way to have friends is to be one.

VII. ROLE PLAY

T: I would like you to watch the dramatization of some episodes from the friends’ lives.

Situation 1

Daughter   is coming home and crying.

Mother: What has happened?

Daughter: I thought that I had many friends but they are not  true.

Where can I  find true friends?

Mother :  My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. For a true friend you must always be available, in good times and bad".

Daughter: But I want to be everybody's friend! I need to share my time among everyone.

Mother: My dear, you're a lovely girl, but you can't be a close friend to everybody. There  isn't enough time to be available for everyone, so you can have a few true friends. The others will by playmates or acquaintances, but they won't be close friends".

Daughter:  ( thinking a little) My dear mother you always helps me and puts up with all my dislikes  and problems, you always forgive me you love me a great deal...(daughter is hugging her mother) You are my best friend I could ever want.

Situation2

Two girls are sitting at the table. One of them is eating an apple.

Ann: Are we the best friends?

Mary: Yes, of course. We are the best friends.

Ann: Why don’t you give me any toys and books and don’t treat me.

Mary :Oh, I am sorry. Of course, I’ll give you everything. All the best is for my best friend.

Gils are coming up to the table where toys and books are placed.

Mary: Wait a moment. Don’t touch anything. I’ll give you everything.(looking for a doll, taking an old and spoiled doll) Here you are. And it is not all ( looking for the book). Take this book. Is it enough now?

Ann: But they are old and spoiled.

Mary: It doesn’t matter. You can play with it and not be afraid to spoil it to make the dress dirty.

Ann: And what about the book? You have so many books but you give such book that I can’t read even the title of it.

Mary: Why do you need the title? The main is the plot. Nobody knows if the new book is interesting or not. But old book is dog-eared and torn and was read by many people. That’s why it is very interested.

Ann is surprised. Girls are coming up to the table where the apples are.

Mary: I also would like to treat you.( giving her a bitted apple)

T: What can your tell me about our friends? Are they true or not?

I’ve realized that mother is the best friend. She always help us and put up with all our dislikes and problems, always forgive and love us . As for me, my mother is my best friends too.

True friends must share toys, book, interests. But if the friend is greedy, I think he can not be true friend. I don’t want to have a greedy friend.

It’s awful to give old and spoiled things to our friends. We must give all the best to our friends but not old and spoiled. I  don’t want to have such friends .

IX. EVALUATON

T: What useful information from our lesson will you be able to use in your life?

We have a lot of friends but not all of them are true. And it is very hard to realize that your friends betray you.

The only way to have friends is to be one. We must help and support our friends. We must be honest, reliable, keep promises and secrets.

As for me, I have o lot of friends. Some of them are close some are less. But all  of them  make our life more interesting.

From my point of view, it’s very important to have good friends. You can help them and they can help you. If you have a problem you can go to your friends or you call them and ask them for help. Friends support you. That’s great!

T: I agree with you that friends play great role in our life and we can’t imagine our life without them. Not all of them are true but the only way to have friends is to be one. We must be cheerful, attentive, faithful, generous, honest, loyal, polite, patient, caring,  reliable, sociable, tolerant, friendly, kind. Friendship is like a candle that lights our way and shines forever in our hearts.
