Procedure

І. Introduction.

   1. Greeting.

  2. Warm-up.

                                                        Music is a universal language of mankind.

                                                                                      H. Longfellow

        Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions.

                                                                                      Keith Richards

Teacher: You can see two quotes. Do you agree with the authors? What role does music play in your life?

Learners: …

Teacher: Music is a universal language because it speaks to us without any words, music  reflects our mood and emotions. I think we cannot live without it. Music accompanies us during all our life. It is in our heart, our souls and our feelings. We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music.
They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

Music appeals to our heart. It reflects our mood and emotions. Music helps us not only to be happy but understand each other, appreciate such feelings as love, friendship, sympathy and just our life in general. It's the universal language for people of different ages, generations.

II. Main Part.

1. Listening.

Can you imagine the world without music? What role does music play in your life? How does music make us feel?

I suggest you watching a short video https://youtu.be/yFckWsYqvnk (if you can’t open the link, copy it and open in the browser) and answer the questions.

• Who are the people in the video?

• What are they talking about?

Learners: …

1.                   Mind –map.

One part of your home task was to tell about what music means for you. Let’s listen to your opinions and make the mind-map.

Learners: …

Music -  mind-map

2. Vocabulary Practice.

a) Teacher introduces new vocabulary:

calming, distracting, energizing, entertaining, entrancing, moving, relaxing, saddening, unsettling, uplifting

Learners write down them in their vocabularies.

b) Teacher: Match the adjectives in the box to their meanings below.

• making someone feel more relaxed and less emotional: calming

 • causing worry or anxiety:

 • making someone feel full of energy or enthusiasm:

• making someone feel better:

• making someone feel emotional:

• preventing someone from concentrating on something:

• pleasant and making someone feel less stressed:

• funny and enjoyable:

• making someone feel sad:

 • beautiful or impressive in a way that it takes all of someone’s attention and they can’t stop listening to or watching it:

b) Teacher: Make up sentences using the vocabulary.

3. Reading and Listening.

Teacher: Your home task was individual. You had to download and introduce some patterns of  music styles here in class.

As Englishmen say, ‘’Tastes differ’’ each of us prefers different music styles. There are a lot of them: jazz, rap, rock and roll, the blues, country and western  and others.

So, let’s read some information about music styles. Ex.4,p.101 (or presentation).

Learners read the information and demonstrate the patterns of music styles (they have prepared them at home) while reading the information about them.

Teacher: Listen to the native speakers talking about their favourite music styles and do the task on the sheet.
