PROCEDURE

INTRODUCTION

TEACHER: Glad to see you! How are you? Are you ready for practicing English? The subject of our lesson is “Be Successful!” How to be successful, what we have to do, have you met successful people in your life.

WARM UP

TEACHER: Now I’d like to listen to your opinions. What does it mean to be successful?

PUPIL 1: I think it means to learn all your abilities and develop them and have high goals for your career. I’d like to recite the poem “ME” written by John Edwards.

I can climb the highest mountain,

Sail across the wildest sea,

Now that I’ve discovered

That I’m happy to be.

I can study Mathematics,

Be a man of high degree

Now I’ve solved the puzzle,

That I’m happy to be me.

I can make the finest music,

Write a book of poetry.

Now I’ve learnt the lesson

That I’m happy to be me.

I can do the things

I dreamed of,

Live a life that’s great and free,

How I’ve found the secret

That I’m happy to me.

PUPIL 2:To my mind to be successful means to be right with your soul and in harmony with all the world.

If there is right in the soul,

There is beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,

There will be harmony in the home,

If there is harmony in the home,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the word.

PUPIL 3: As for me to be successful means to have faith in yourself, in your high goals and to reach your high goals. It means to have an ambition. Only an ambitious person can be successful.
