ХІД УРОКУ

І. ПІДГОТОВКА ДО СПРИЙНЯТТЯ  ІНШОМОВНОГО МОВЛЕННЯ

1. Повідомлення теми та мети уроку.

Т: We live in a magic world. The world is full of won­derful things. It is our nature. Nature gives us life. We are the children of nature. Nature is our best and kindest friend. Nature teaches us to be kind and clever, attentive and creative. It teaches us to understand the world around us. We see the blue sky and the grey rain, the black night and the shiny stars, green mountains, seas and sunshine.

It is fun to know about stars that look little but are very big, about the Moon that looks big but is smaller than the stars, about the Earth that is turning all the time.

Nature shows us wonderful pictures of different colours: the blue sky and the green grass, the white snow and the black night, the red poppy and the yel­low sunflower. Nature is a great artist and poet. It has different colours for each season. Autumn is yellow, winter is white, spring is green, summer is bright.

Ecological problems have no borders. European states solve these problems together: the necessary meas­ures are taken, congresses and conferences on these ques­tions are organized, and these questions have already the reflection in the legislation of many countries.

2. Уведення в іншомовну атмосферу.

Pronunciation drill with “should”.

T: Almost at each lesson you can hear, “You should do this”, “You shouldn’t do that”. I suppose you know what the verb “should” means. It is used when you want to advice or recommendation (слід, повинен).

Its synonym is “ought to” and it sounds more polite.

If the action refers to the past, use Perfect Indefinite after “should”, e.g.

You should do it. (Ви повинні це зробити.)

You should have done it. (Ви повинні були це зробити. Вам слід було це зробити.) * Now, you’ll practice these modal verbs in a chant, and you’ll be able to use them in your speech.

III. ЗАКЛЮЧНА ЧАСТИНА УРОКУ

1. Підбиття підсумків уроку.

T: What can be done to protect nature?

• I believe that environment disasters can be avoided if people broaden ecological education and every person understands that the beauty of nature is extremely fragile and people must obey the unwritten laws of nature.
• Governments must be prepared to take action against pollution. Air pollution could be reduced if plants and factories were made to fit effective filters on chimneys and car exhausts.
• Green zones around big cities must be protected and extended. Natural resources should be used econo­mically because their stocks are not unlimited.

THINKING GREEN

 If you look green you are probably not feeling very well. But if the Erath is green it is a healthy planet. And some wonderful news: anyone can help to keep the Earth green. It is so easy! We are the happiest people because we are face to face with nature. Our first spaceman Y. Gagarin said: “How beautiful our blue planet is. How small it is. People of the world, take care of it, protect it”
