1. Introduction.

Pupils read aloud their sentences from the exercise-books.

Teacher: Well done. I see you are ready to learn something new.

2. Warming up.

Teacher: Let’s guess our topic for the lesson. We’re going to do crosswords to get to know it. Remember that all the words are adjectives which characterize a person.

Teacher reads the word’s definition and pupils try to guess the word.

1.     a person who helps you by doing something, or by giving you useful advice
2.     a person behaving in a way that shows that you are cared about something
3.     a person who is friendly and enjoys being with other people
4.     a person who is full of energy and enthusiasm
5.     a person who is physically powerful and healthy
6.     a person behaving in a happy and friendly ways

Teacher: So you see that we’ve found a new word. It’s HEALTH. And today we’re going to speak about healthy way of living.

3. Vocabulary Revision.

Pupils listen to the song “Addy and Andy”.

                                                  ADDY AND ANDY

Addy is healthy,                                              From this good example

And Addy is not.      It soon becomes clear

Addy can run fast,      That being unhealthy

And Andy cannot.     Is often quite drear.

What makes Addy strong?   So drink up fresh milk

Good exercises.     And say no to pie,

What makes Andy sick?    Get enough sleep

He eats many pies.     And you’ll be just fine.

Teacher: Now let’s check how you remember the words from this song.

All the children and the teacher make a circle. The teacher throws a ball to pupil 1, pupil 2, etc. and asks to translate the following words (healthy, unhealthy, fast, good, strong, fresh, enough, fine).

Teacher: Thank you, everybody. I see that we’ve greatly revised these words.

4. Reading the text.

Teacher: Now it’s time for reading. After reading the text you should say what you should do to keep yourself healthy.

“Health is above wealth”, the proverb says. When we are healthy we are strong, active and full of energy. We have to take care of our health and do the things that are useful to us.

You should have nine hours sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep are always tired and sleepy.

The human body also needs exercises. Walking, running, swimming and playing games are all exercises. Exercises keep the body strong. They help the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important, as our blood brings food to all parts of the body.

We also must eat healthy food. Fresh fruit and vegetables are useful because they have many vitamins in them.

Possible answers

-         Pupil 1 We should do the things that are useful for our health.

-         Pupil 2 We should sleep nine hours every night.

-         Pupil 3 We should do exercises.

-         Pupil 4 We should eat healthy food.

-         Pupil 5 We should eat fresh fruit and vegetables.

5. Relaxation.

Teacher: Now let’s have a little rest. We’re going to listen to our song again.
