1. Introduction

 

T. Good morning! I’m glad to see you!

(Watching flash video about modern communication technologies) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKQ03sr6ryo)

 

T. What do you think,  why have I chosen this video?

P. This video is very suitable for the topic of our lesson!

 

T. Welcome to our lesson that is connected with Modern communication technologies!

Today you will:

• Revise your vocabulary on the topic
• Listen and read the texts and do the tasks
• Speak about modern communication technologies and
• Discuss on their role in our life

 

Do you agree with the words of Bernard Shaw:

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change anything.”

 

2. Warm up

 

  a) Revising vocabulary

T. Computers have become a vital part of everyday life. What is a computer?

P. A computer is an electronic machine which can be used to store, process and display data. Now I’d like you to revise the parts of the computer doing a small test. Please, use the site Learningap.com, find the game “Parts of a computer”. Who will have the positive result show it the teacher.

 

b)  Game “The advantage of computers” (http://learningapps.org/1821647)

T. Agree or disagree that following statements represent only the advantages of computers. Don’t forget about useful phrases for expressing you agreeing or disagreeing.

                  Agreeing                                                             Disagreeing

I’d go along with that                                                             Not sure

You’ve got a point there                                             Yes, but …I don’t agree…

I think so, too                                                               Maybe,…. but…..

Great minds think alike                                                 I don’t think so

                                                                                       The problem’s  that

 

The Advantages of Computers

1. People can communicate with each other instantly by email. (I think so, too. Using email you can contact with you friends, relatives abroad, for example)(Maybe that is right but waiting the letter brings you different feelings and emotions)
2. Many people now work from home using a computer. (I’d go along with that it is very convenient especially when you have some problems with your health)(The problem’s that you don’t have alive communication with other people)
3. Many people use the computer in their leisure time for playing game or just surfing the net.(You’ve got a point there and I think If you want to relax you can use such form of it.)(I don’t think so. ‘Cos it is a waste of time instead to have relax outdoors with you family)
4. You can buy almost everything on the Internet without having to leave your home. (I think so, too. It is great convenience.) (Not sure. You can buy spoilt things)
5. Some people became addicted to the Internet and computer. (We agree on that. This is a big problem nowadays)

 

III. Reading (using Google forms program)

 

Read the article and choose the best answer (a-c)

 

THE INTERNET: HERE TO STAY

 

Most people today cannot imagine their life without the Internet. I believe it is one of the most important motivations. Thanks to the World Wide Web, our lives have become easier and more exciting.

First of all, the Internet helps us find information easily. For example, we can read the news and find answers to the questions 24 hours a day. In addiction, we can use the Internet for entertainment. We can send e-mails to friends and shop online. We can even listen to the latest music and watch live sports events from other parts of the world.

However, some people argue that the Internet has a negative effect on society. Internet users become less sociable. They stay at home most of the day instead of going out to shop, work and meet friends.

In my opinion, the Internet has more advantages than disadvantages. Our lives are better with it and I hope it is here to stay.

VII. Situation.

 

You receive an email.

 

Hi!

I want to tell you about one my problem. My parents don’t want to buy a computer for me. My father says it’s too expensive and that’s possible to study without it. Help me please to persuade my father that computers are very important nowadays!

Group work.

 

Group 1.

• Try to explain your parents that nowadays you can’t do your hometask on some subjects without the computer, for example, you can’t listen the English texts or use educational programs.
• Do you write any research works? Tell your parents you need to type such works on computer.
• Do the teachers of your school ask the pupils to make their own presentations on various topics? Explain your parents that it’s impossible without the computer.

 

Group 2.
