Introducing the topic and the aim of the lesson.

Т: -Good morning, children!

Sit down! It's winter now and soon we'll have the most favourite time – winter holidays. People all over the world will have Christmas and New Year parties with a big number of tasty dishes. Some lesson  running we speak about English meal. But what will we speak today about, you have to say me yourself. Look at the screen and I think this poem says you the theme of our today’s  lesson. 

I like a nice cup of tea at 6,

For to start the day, you see,

And at half past 7,

   Well, my idea of heaven

    Is a nice cup of tea.

I like a nice cup of tea with milk,

And a nice cup of tea with cake,

And when it's cold,

   There's a lot to be said

   For a nice cup of tea.

 

Yes today we’ll speak about tea. But it is not full answer. Who are the greatest tea drinkers?(English persons) Of course, tea is their traditional drink. Many years ago our ancestors said: «Live not to eat but to live». Of course, they were right. We can't live without food, as English persons can't live without tea. Today we all have an unusual lesson. It is connected with one of English traditions: English Drinking Tea. I want you feel yourself real Englishmen. And learn more information about this country.

 

II. Main part of the lesson.

I.Speaking

T: Do you like tea? Why?( Why not?)

Do you usually drink tea for breakfast (supper)?

How many cups of tea do you usually drink?

What tea do you prefer? Green, yellow, red or black?

Do you drink tea with sugar, honey, jam, lemon?

 What do you eat with tea?

What do you prefer tea or coffee?

What tea-drinking countries do you know?

In what European country is the highest tea consumption?

What was the first European country where people started drinking tea?

 

Some our pupils read you their presentations.

Read the presentation.

 

In 1662 Prince Charles II married the Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza, who brought to the court the habit of drinking tea.

 

Firstly, tea had the success among rich people, and then among other English citizenships. The popularity of tea was formed slowly but forever.

 

Tea means two things. It is a drink and a meal. Tea is the favourite beverage in England.

They drink black and white tea (with some drops of cold milk or cream) with very little or no sugar at all.

 

By 1750 tea had become the most popular drink for all classes of people — even though a pound of tea cost a skilled worker a third of his weekly wage.

 

Nowadays, tea drinking is no longer a formal so­cial occasion. People don t dress up to go out to tea anymore.

 

But one tea ceremony is still very impor­tant in Britain — Tea Break.

 

Millions of people in factories and offices look forward to their tea breaks in the morning and in the afternoon.

 

There are some rules to make the perfect cup of tea. English people make tea "as Mother makes it".

1. Fill the kettle with fresh water. Warm the tea pot.
2. Put one teaspoonful of dry tea leaves per person and an extra one for tea pot.
3. Pour on the freshly boiled water.
4. Let tea infuse for five minutes, then stir.
5. Add cream, sugar to taste. Such tea looks as black as coffee.

You can try Iced Tea with lemon. It is very popu­lar in America.
