Procedure
1. Greeting.
Teacher. : Good morning, children! I am glad to see you!
Pupils: We are glad to see you too!
T.: I hope this lesson will be useful and interesting for you. As you’ve guessed the topic of discussion at our today’s lesson is “Travelling”. We’ll speak about different ways of travelling, about trips during the holidays, recollect types of transport existing in the world; also we’ll role-play some situations and do a lot of things together. I hope that our co-operation will be successful so I want you to be attentive and active. Speak and express your opinion. So, let’s start our communication.
2. Warming-up.
1) фонетична зарядка
T.: As you already learned many words about travelling you can show and use your knowledge. To begin with I would like to practice some sounds with you. I took the motto for our lesson, words told by Hans Christian Andersen, so let’s read them together to practice your spelling:
“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live”.
2) мовна розминка у вигляді навчальної розмови
(conversation: T – P1, P2, P3…) T.:
- Do you like to travel?
- How do you get to school?
- When do you prefer to travel?
- Which countries have you been to?
3) мовленнєва зарядка. Brainstorming.
T.: As you know, people have travelled from ancient times. What makes them travel nowadays? To continue our discussion let’s decide on the reasons for travelling. Tell your suggestions, make notes and then put them on the blackboard. Use the structure in Present Continuous (I am travelling/ we are travelling…)
Teacher: Well done, my dear! Look at the blackboard again. You see a lot of reasons for travelling. You also see a quotation of H. C. Andersen about travelling and it is true, many people have told wise words about travelling. And now I want you to tell the famous proverbs or quotes about travelling as it was your home task. Give your explanations beginning with the structure in Present Perfect “I have understood that…”
And while you are presenting your works I am going to see if you were successful with the home exercise in your workbooks, so please, open them.
(У класі заслуховуються виступи учнів, паралельно вчитель проглядає виконане домашнє завдання учнів за партами і дає кожному паперову міні-картку у формі валізи, на яку протягом уроку будуть записуватися бали за виконані завдання на уроці, а також відгуки учнів наприкінці уроку. Картки підписуються.)
Teacher: Great job, pupils you are very educated. As they say, travel is the best education. And we are going to the main part of our lesson. I want you to be well-prepared for travelling, so you have to know different means of transport, their advantages and disadvantages and arrangements before and during your trip. That we’ll do next.

Учні називають види транспорту, по черзі передаючи один одному м’ячик.
Pupils answers: a bus, a car, a train, a plane, a helicopter, a van, a ship, a yacht, a ferry, a hovercraft…
Teacher: Right you are. There is a great number of transports in the world. Some of them we use regularly, some are very rare. Which of them do you consider to be the fastest? The cheapest? The most popular? Which one do you consider to be the best? Well, you don’t have to quarrel. It will be better to prove your opinion.

Follow the instructions while you are writing the information about advantages and disadvantages of different ways of travelling down in the table.

_______________________________________________________________________
London, Paris, Berlin, New York and many others. During the trip you need no tickets.
_______________________________________________________________________
People can visit many countries by plane. Just imagine! You can have breakfast in Kyiv,
_______________________________________________________________________
dinner in London, Paris or Berlin, and supper in New York on the same day! But there

are some people who don’t like travelling by plane because they are air-sick. They have
_______________________________________________________________________

plane, it can be troubled and dangerous. Never-the-less travelling by plane saves time that’s why many people enjoy flying greatly.

Travelling by car or by bus is rather fast and cheap. You can get to many places
_______________________________________________________________________
during your trip. Travelling by own car you will never miss your train, ship or plane; you
_______________________________________________________________________

better than to travel by car – a good modern fast car. It’s completely safe, car accidents are very rare. __________________________________________________________

interesting and entertaining. You can do many things during your trip as playing games,

watching movies, swimming in a pool, dancing or taking photos of the scenery. Tickets
_______________________________________________________________________
for a long cruise can be expensive. The journey is safe in any weather. You can stop

wherever you like. It’s very pleasant to travel by sea in summer. Travelling by sea is

You see we are talking today about travelling and I know that my curious students have a lot of questions to ask you. Don’t you mind taking part in our conversation?
British guest: With great pleasure.
P1: My question to Ann is… Is travelling popular in Great Britain?
Br. g.: Yes, of course. We, the British, have always been pioneers in travelling far away. Each year more Englishmen, Englishwomen and their children travel to some parts of continental Europe. Many take their cars.

Br. g.: Most British people spend their holidays in Spain and France.
P3: And how can you get from GB to France?
Br. g.: By modern fast comfortable train. Recently the channel Tunnel or the underwater railway between Britain and France has been built. Special fast trains cross from one country to the other. It takes a traveler about 4 hours to make a trip.
P4: Oh, it’s so interesting! And my question is … How do the British spend their weekends?

Dear friends, you are welcome to England! I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay there greatly!
T: Thank you very much for your invitation. You see, students, Ann is going to stay in Ukraine for some weeks. But she is at a loss. She doesn’t know where to go, what to see. Will you help Ann decide for sure? I propose you to do it writing the postcard. Just imagine that you are travelling over Ukrainian cities. You have already seen a lot and have some plans about where else to go. Write this information and your impressions in a postcard. There are some samples and writing strategy on the page 105 in your books. Read it carefully and make a plan of your notes.

As I told you write a postcard about travelling to one of the cities of Ukraine. I’m sure, many of you visited Kyiv, Lviv, Chernivtsi or Ternopil and know a lot of interesting things to say. So let your postcards be full of impressions and our guest Ann would be happy to make the choice. And now let’s summarize what you have known and learnt during this lesson, what you liked best of all. I want you to write it on your little suitcases in a sentence beginning with “I am a good/ successful/skillful traveler because…”
