T: Good morning, dear pupils. I’m glad to see you. Sit down, please. How are you today? I hope that everything is OK! Let’s start our lesson.

Today we’re going to speak about appearance: your, your friend’s or classmate’s appearance. We’ll also describe fairy tale heroes, listen to the song, recite poems, revise grammar structure “have got”. I hope you’ll like our lesson. And by the end of the lesson you’ll learn how to describe people according to the plan.

II.The main part of the lesson.

1.Presentation.

T: The motto of the lesson is the proverb “Take us as you find us”. Can you translate it. You can explain these words in Ukrainian. It isn’t so important how does the person look like: is he or she tall or short, thin or plump, has he/she got long or short hair, curly, straight or wavy. It’s more important our inner world. By the end of the lesson we’ll try to prove it.

2.Lexicall drills/Phonetic drills.

T: And now look at this handsome boy and repeat the words which you have already known (хорове повторення) And now Yulia reads them and you repeat after her. Well done.

3.Poem. Missing words.

T: On the slyde you’ll see the poem, listen and repeat after me but be very attentive because on the next slyde you’ll see the same poem but with missing words. Complete it. Are you ready to fill in the words. Let’s check up.

4. Oral communication+Lexical drills.

T: Do you remember poems about appearance. Recite them, please.

v Ten little fingers. Ten little toes. Two little ears and one little nose.

v My doll is so pretty. Her eyes are so blue. Her cheeks are so rosy.

v My dolly is pretty. My dolly is nice. She has a short nose and beautiful eyes.

Thank you. Well done.

5.Dialogue.

T:  If we describe a person we usually say about his or her figure, hair, nose, eyes and face. So let’s revise these words.

Figure…-Are you tall or short? Are you thin or plump?

Hair….-Have you got straight, curly or wavy hair? Have you got long or short hair?

6.Oral communication. Monologue.

T: And now describe yourself. Who wants to be the first?

7.Grammar.

T: And now it’s time for grammar. Look at the table and repeat after me: I have got…. We have got….

So let’s do Ex 3,p.17 (WB)-take pencils and circle the correct words. At home you’ll have to do the same exercise: write true sentences using this structure “have got”.

8.Song. Ex 8,p.21(PB)

T: And now we’ll have a minute of relaxation. Listen to the song of Ex8,p.21(PB)

and fill in the structure “have got/has got”. And now let’s read and check up.

10.Break.

11.Listening.”Mug and Nimble”

T: Listen to the short story about fairy-tale heroes: Mug and Nimble. In the text there is a word “a wing”- it means “крило”. Sign the cards. After the first listening-read the sentences and say who is this.

Listen to the text once more and your task will be to write if the sentence is true or false.  Exchange your cards, put 2 points for each correct answer.

12.Speaking. Game.

T: Let’s play a guessing game: describe your classmates but don’t tell his or her name. We’ll say who this person is.

III. Conclusion. Hometask.

T: We’re short of time. Our lesson comes to the end. You were so active. I’m satisfied with your work. As you see it doesn’t matter what appearance we have, it’s importance that we are good friends and I think we are the best in our school. Your hometask is to do Ex.4, p.17(WB)-write true sentences according to the pictures. Your marks are… The lesson is over. Good-bye.
