— Now read the poem in pairs. Listen to each other and correct the mistakes if there are any. Read it in a natural manner. Who wants?

I see that you can pronounce the sounds [w] and [6] really well. As you know we are going to speak about the weather. Look at the photos on p. 6. You see seven different symbols. What do they mean? (The first symbol means sunny weather. The second symbol means cloudy and sunny weather. The third symbol means rainy weather. The forth symbol means stormy weather. The fifth symbol means snowy weather. The sixth symbol means windy weather. The seventh symbol means cloudy weather.)

The first symbol means. . . weather.

There is a thunder storm. It is snowy. It's snowing heavily. It is cloudy. There are a lot of clouds in the sky. It is rainy. It's raining heavily. It is cloudy and sunny today. The sun is shining but there are also some clouds in the sky. It is windy. The wind is blowing.)

— - We are going to read about English-speaking countries and learn to write our own postcards. Besides, we shall learn some

English proverbs connected with weather and find their Russian equivalents.

What types of scales do people use? (People use Centigrade/Celsius or Fahrenheit.)

- What scale is used in the USA (Russia, Britain)? (In the USA they use Fahrenheit. In Russia they use Centigrade/ Celsius. In Britain they use Celsius and Fahrenheit. )

— Look at the cards and work out the temperature in another scale. Say what temperature was yesterday, what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.

95 T (35 °C), 59 °F (15 °C), 73 °F (22,8 °C), 32 T (0 °C), 20 T (-6,6 °C), 80 T (27 °C), 34 T (1 °C).

— At home you prepared your own weather forecast, didn'tyou? You will role play your weather forecast one by one. Other pupils will be judges. Imagine that you are going to take a TV host (hostess) to your TV channel. Listen to the weather forecasts and choose the best TVhost (hostess). (And now here is the weather forecast for tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be warm (cold, hot, frosty, cool) and dry (rainy, snowy, windy, foggy) with no falls (rain, snow). The wind is from the south-east, 3— 5 seconds a minute. The temperature during the day is 20—22 degrees above zero. At night the temperature is 10— 12 degrees above zero. )

— In the end express your opinion with the help of the following phrases.

- Well, I see that you can be good TV hosts, you can present the

weather forecast quite well.

- You know that good weather is important for tourists, because their rest depends on it. In ex. 23, p. 10 you can read the postcards people sent home while visiting English-speaking countries.

Besides, they sent some photos. Read the texts and match them with the pictures. Say:

— Look through the texts again and match them with the words given in ex. 24, p. 11. (The first group of words belongs to text B. The second group of words belongs to text C. The third group of words belongs to text A.)

— I see that you are tired. Let's have a rest, stand up, class.

— I would like you to work in pairs. Do the task of ex. 25 on p. 11. Then make up your own sentences with these words one by one.

Nouns: temperature, sun, weather. Verbs: begin, change, start. Adjectives: sunny, warm, wonderful. Adverbs: surprisingly, hardly, quickly.

The weather was fine yesterday. It started to rain but we still were walking in the street. It is surprisingly warm today.-What wonderful weather! It will be sunny tomorrow; the temperature will be 30 °C. It hardly ever rains in this part of the year. The weather changed quickly. It began to snow in a half an hour.

— Say what facts from the texts surprised you. Use the word

expressions from ex. 26.

(I'm surprised that in Australia it's mid-summer in January. I think it is interesting that the words "Life is a beach " mean that everything is great and surprising. I can't believe that in North America in summer it could be hot: +35 C. In my opinion, it's surprising that when it's cold outside in North America you can go to the shops, see a film or have a meal without going outside. I'm surprised that in Britain the weather is so changeable.) — Now you try to have a talk about weather in your country. Study the situation in ex. 27, p. 11. First of all look through the expressions that must be used. Do you understand all of them? Choose any country you like and any phrase you must begin with.

— It looks like rain.

— Yes, it's a terrible day today.

— You can never be sure of a dry day in London.

— I have no umbrella with me.

— Well, take mine then, b)

- It's a wonderful day, isn't it?

- Yes, it's lovely weather.

— It doesn't usually get very cold in early autumn in Russia.

— Let's go for a walk.

- OK, let's. c)

- What terrible weather we are having today!

- We'll have to stay at home today.

— Or wear warm coats.

- It's raining heavily and the strong wind is blowing.

— You can never be sure of a beautiful day here.

— Imagine that you have visited an English-speaking country, and you've got a new friend now. Write him a postcard to describe the climate and weather in your home town. Use the texts from ex. 23 as examples. Remember to begin and finish the postcard in the correct way. I give you 15 minutes.

I live in Russia. The weather is different here in different seasons. It is usually warm and even hot in summer. The sun shines brightly, the sky is blue, and it rains but not much. In autumn you can't be sure of a warm day. The early autumn is usually warm, but then it is quite cold. The temperature is from 3 degrees below zero to 10 degrees above zero. Then winter comes and everything gets its white clothes. It is snowy, cold and even frosty. In early spring the weather is usually quite cold. It sometimes snows. Then there come warmer days. The sun begins shining more brightly. So, if you want to come to my country, be sure of the season you choose.

- Many years ago people created a lot of proverbs that we know now. Some of them are connected with weather. Can you remember such proverbs in Russian?

Let's learn some of the proverbs in English. See ex. 29 on p. 11. In pairs match the English proverbs with their Russian equivalents. Answer the given question.

— Let's listen to Olga's story with a proverb. Can you guess which proverb her story explains?

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

One day I was trying to get to the University from one end of the city to another. There was a car accident on the road. I saw an old man who was at the helm and a young woman with a baby in the car. I rushed to the car to help the passengers. I let the woman with the baby out quite quickly. It was rather difficult to help the driver. Suddenly I saw the petrol flowing from the car. There was no time but I made all my forces to save the man. When everything was over I understood that I had missed my lectures. Two days later I had a phone call. It was that man from the car. He invited me to visit them and thanked for saving their lives. Now I have my new friends. Every cloud has a silver lining.

To Everything There Is a Season

Our neighbours were so loud. They are young people. They always listened to loud music even at night. We were so tired. We could never have a rest. My parents often visited them to say they should stop listening to music, but it was no use.

A month ago the young couple had a baby. The loud music stopped. At last we have time to relax. One day we had a party. The next day mother was talking to the neighbour. She told mother that they were not sleeping the whole night as their baby couldn't sleep. Mother answered: "Now do you see that you shouldn't have listened to music so loudly all day long? To everything there is a season".

It Never Rains but It Pours

There are sometimes days when we have a trouble after trouble, and it seems to have no end. I had one of such days yesterday. First of all I overslept as my alarm-clock stopped. Then I went to the bathroom to have a shower but they switched off the hot water. While I was dressing my bus went away. I had to get to school by taxi. So, as you could understand I was late. We had a test on Maths that day. My teacher was angry. Due to this I had to stay after classes to finish my test. People are right to say that it never rains but it pours.

One Cloud Is Enough to Eclipse the Sun

Our class is quite good. Nevertheless we couldn't win the school competition to be called the best class. There are 25 students in our class. We all try to study well, but there is one student in our class who is often not ready for classes. Besides, he is always late for classes and rude with our teachers. So, everybody at school thinks that our class is bad. I think the proverb "One cloud is enough to eclipse the sun" is about that student.

After Rain Conies Fine Weather

But not long ago we had a council. We decided to organize help to that our student. We hope to win in the competition next year. After rain comes fine weather.

— A new topic we start to discuss is "We're a Part of the Universe". As you may understand we are going to discuss space and our planet the Earth. What do you know about it? (The Earth is round. It is big. It moves around the Sun. It's a blue planet. There are a lot of oceans, seas, rivers, mountains and lakes on the Earth.)

— Learn some more information about the planet. Study the Passport of the Earth. See ex. 31, p. 12. Can you add any more information to the passport?

— Do you want to know more about the Earth? Then read the Earth page from the encyclopedia. Open ex. 32 on p. 12. Find the answers to the questions. Do you understand them? I give you two minutes to look through the text.

Now answer the questions in pairs. Prove your answer with the help Of the text. Say: "It is said in the text that. "

1. People call the Earth "the Blue Planet", because it is said in the text that 70%, nearly three quarters of it, is covered with water.

2. The most of Earth's water is found in the oceans as it is said in the text that the oceans contain 97% of all the water on the Earth.

3. The Sun is not a planet as it is said in the text that the Sun is just one of many stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

4. There are nine main planets in the Solar System as it is said in the text that the Earth is the fifth largest of the nine main planets in the Solar System.

5. It is said in the text that there are four oceans on the Earth: the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian and the Arctic.

6. It is said in the text that the oceans contain 97% of all the water on the Earth.

— Tell me what you can about our planet. Use the questions in ex. 32 as the plan.

The Earth is the fifth largest of the nine main planets in the Solar System. People call the Earth "the Blue Planet", because 70%, nearly three quarters of it, is covered with water. The most of Earth's water is found in the oceans. There are four oceans on the Earth: the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian and the Arctic. The oceans contain 97% of all the water on the Earth.

- I see that you are tired. Let's have a rest. Stand up, please. Can you imagine how big the Earth is? Let's have an experiment. Hold the hands of your partners as you see in ex. 33, p. 12. Stretch your arms as wide as you can. Now imagine that you are trying to reach from pole to pole. Close your eyes. Can you imagine? Open your eyes. Take your seats.

- Do you know how many people must stand in the same way to measure the Earth? Read the information in ex. 33. Are you impressed?

— You have read a lot of words connected with space. Learn to pronounce them correctly. See ex. 34, p. 13. Listen to the tape. Repeat the words. Pronounce the words correctly.
