Your task is to translate the words into English: егоїстичний (selfish), люблячий (affectionate), агресивний (aggressive), амбіційний (ambitious), енергійний (energetic), заздрісний (envious), відповідальний (responsible), чутливий (sensitive), товариський (sociable), конкурентний (competitive), похмурий, у поганому настрої (moody), чарівний (charming), ревнивий (jealous).

He should guess the name of his classmate.

E.g. Is this person a girl or a boy? Is he or she kind-hearted / tolerant / lazy / polite?

2.               Which children are usually independent and sociable? Why? (The middle children are usually independent and competitive because they have to fight with their brothers and sisters for their parents’ attention. They are usually sociable because they like being with people, probably because they have always had other children to play with.)

2.2. Семантизація нового матеріалу.

Well, today we are going to learn the material about the word-building with the help of prefixes.

Префікс – значима частина слова, що стоїть перед коренем і служить для творення нових слів або форм слова. Найбільш поширені способи творення антонімів прикметників в англійській мові – це використання префіксів: ‘un’, ‘in-’, ‘dis-’, ‘im-’ or ‘ir-’. Префікси ‘un-’, ‘in-’, ‘dis-’, ‘im-’ or ‘ir-’ мають негативне значення. Префікс ‘in-’ for додають до коренів прикметників, що починаються  на l, m, b, p, r. Префікс ‘ir-’ використовують для творення прикметників з кореневим r: irregular. Префікс ‘im-’ додаються до прикметників із кореневими m, b, p: immoral.

Антоніми – це слова, протилежні за значенням.

2.3. Автоматизація дій з новим матеріалом.

•                 And now let’s do exercise 2 at page 7. Your task is to make opposites using the prefixes with the adjectives in the box. Put them in the correct column of the table.

•                 Your task is to organize words into pairs of opposites and put them in the columns below: friendly, hard-working, mean, stupid, generous, lazy, dishonest, pleasant, cheerful, honest, tidy, unpleasant, clever, untidy and unfriendly.
