  •  develop reading and writing skills.

Main Part

 

Teacher: I am sure that you’ve got many different hobbies, but do your classmates know about them? Let’s learn about your classmate’s hobbies together.

Open your books at p. 94, ex. 3. Work in pairs and ask you partner some questions. But you are to listen to you classmates answers very attentively, because I’ll ask you about their favourite hobbies and pastimes.

 

Is Vlad fond of collecting Lego?

Who is interested in dancing?...

 

Checking the homework

I see that your classmates are interested in the way you spend your free time. And at home you prepared some stories/ projects about your hobbies and your favourite pastimes. Present them to let your friends know more about you and the way you like to spend your free time.

(children present their projects)

You see that … is interested in…. And what about you? Are you interested in…?

 

Listening practice

You have wonderful hobbies. And I liked all of them.

You know that different people have different interests. Now you are going to listen to the recording about them. But before listening to the text look at the board and repeat some new words after me.

A lot of = many

Would rather – краще б

Prefer = like

Go for a walk – ходити на прогулянку

Bug – жук (picture on the slide)

Leaf – листок (picture)

Be attentive because while listening to the recording you are to fill in the gaps on your cards with the words given in the list.

(children listen to the text twice)

List of words to complete the sentences

watching TV, baseball, hockey and basketball, interested in, computer games, collect things, ride bikes, stamps, bugs, coins, dolls, postcards, the piano, the guitar, books

1. Some people like to play computer games.  Do you like playing computer games?
2. Other people spend a lot of time watching TV.
3. Some would rather play sport like baseball, hockey and basketball.

Teacher: well done. Children, do you like dancing? Are you good at dancing?

I think you are tired now and it’s high time to rest a little and have some fun.

Stand up and dance with our guests.

(doing exercises)

 

Making dialogues

Teacher: wonderful! I see that you are great dancers and you enjoyed it. And we continue working.

Teacher: Tell me please, do you like presents?

P1: Yes, I do. I like presents.

Teacher: and what about you? Do you like to receive or to get presents?

P2: I like to receive presents.

Teacher: now, imagine that your best friend has a birthday party soon. You are at the shop and want to buy him/ her a present. Work in pairs and choose the present your friend would like. Use the example.

 

 

 

Group-work

 

Teacher: great job! I like the way you are working today. Now you are going to work in teams. That’s why we should be divided into three teams. Three pupils come up to the blackboard and take a card.

Gardening

Listening to music

Playing football

And now other pupils get cards with pictures. Look at the picture and choose the team you need.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now there are two teams. Be very attentive.

So we receive many presents for our birthdays, but very often if we have some money we buy some things ourselves.

Take the card. There you can see children and money they have got. And things they can buy. Say what they can buy for the money they have and why. Use the example you’ve got.

Ann can buy a BMX bike. She is fond of (keen on/interested in/good at) riding bikes in her free time.

Teacher: Children, what can Mike buy? And why?

 

Speaking

Teacher: Children now I know a lot about your hobbies, but I know nothing about your parents’ hobbies. You have got clouds with hidden words – names of pastimes. Choose some to speak about your parents’ hobbies.

Make up sentences as in the example.

My mother is interested in …

My father is fond of…

And I am keen on…

(cloud with words)

(запас)

Reading

You had some rest and now you are ready to have some reading about what else people like doing in their free time. Read the text writing the words instead of pictures.

Some people like gardening. They grow vegetables and fruit. A lot of people like collecting. Some people like collecting toy cars..

Very often they collect pens , cups  , stickers and other things.

 Playing a musical instrument is a hobby, too. People enjoy playing the piano    and the guitar .       

Many girls like knitting and drawing. Boys like skateboarding and riding a BMX bike very much. And what is your hobby?

P1: My hobby is…

 

1.    Homework

My friend’s name is Marry. She is fifteen years old. She is very interesting and active person. She likes listening to music. Her favourite pastime is singing. She is fond of playing musical instruments. She is good at playing the guitar. She often takes part in different school concerts and parties.
