American saying

I. The beginning of the lesson

1. Greeting

T: Good morning, boys and girls!  I’m glad to see you!

Ps: We are glad to see you, too!

T: How are you today?

P₁: I’m fine, thanks.

P₂: I’m not so well. Thank you.

T: Well, sit down, please. 

2. Introducing the theme and aims

T: Pupils, the subject of our today’s lesson is “Shopping in Britain”. I hope we shall work fruitfully and that’s why the motto of the lesson is American saying: “Tell me and I forget, show me and I may not remember, involve me and I will understand”.

Today we are having a little unusual lesson. It is a lesson of treasure hunt. Our treasure is in that STRANGE BOX. We are having a lot of tasks; doing the task you should find a certain English letter in each of them. Then, gather all letters together to get a key expression to our STRANGE BOX and open it, only then we can get real treasure. Believe me! 

T: I hope we'll have a wonderful time together because we are going to do the shopping. I'd like to continue our lesson with such quotation:

For some shopping is an art,

For others it's a sport,

Some like it. Some hate it.

Rarely is someone indifferent.

These words were written by one of the American shop-assistant Pamela Kafka.

How do you understand it? Will you translate it, please?

Ps: Для когось покупки – це мистецтво,

      Для когось – це спорт,

     Одним це подобається. Інші ненавидять.

     Рідко, щоб хтось відносився до цього байдуже.

In my street

I am John.  Let me tell you about my street. It is not very long. There are some shops in the street and a lot of trees. There is a baker’s shop with fresh bread and a greengrocer’s with fresh fruit and vegetables. I go to the supermarket every day.

It is next to my house. It is not a busy street so we ride our bikes there. Some boys play ball in the street, but it is dangerous. There are no tall buildings there, just family houses and small blocks of flats. There are a lot of cats in my street.

I have some nice neighbours.  I love my street very much.

T:  I want to give you some advises if you are going to do the shopping in the UK.

• If you don’t know something about doing shopping, you may ask a shop assistant to help you.
• Do not put any item in your bag or pocket until you have paid for it. Use basket or trolley if they are provided.
• Always keep the receipt after shopping.
• Mind that size system in Britain is different from European one.
• Remember that security staff works in most of shops in the UK. Don’t break the laws!

T: Now you have to make a shopping list because it is important not to forget to buy what you need.

Listen to the Supermarket Song by Peter Weatherall and fill in the shopping list with the names of the food mentioned in the song. Be attentive!

1) Pre-Reading Activity

T: What do you know about Black Friday?

2) While-Reading Activity

T: Read the text and choose the correct answer.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s biggest shopping day. Closed all day on Thursday, shopping centres open early on Friday. Some of them open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some “sleepyhead“ shopping centres don’t open their doors on Friday until 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make nearly 25 per cent of what they earn in a year. This season puts many businesses “in the black”, that is, they make the money they need for the year.

There are a lot of people who sleep in tents in front of the shops a day or two before the doors open on Friday. They wait to get products that are 50 per cent cheaper or more.

Not all Americans enjoy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to change Black Friday’s name. “We want to call it Remember Jesus Friday. Christmas has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of Giving. And we don’t mean giving material things. We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady clean up her house. Teach a kid how to read. Visit sick people in the hospital. Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Santa Claus.”
