T: Look! Doctor helps us when we are sick. A cook makes us food when we are hungry. A bus cannot go without a driver, and we can’t learn without a teacher. Every job is important, right?

S: Yes!

T: But if you work every day, you are tired and you can be sick. That’s why everybody sometimes needs a day off.

4. Pre-listening. Introducing new vocabulary

• Teacher demonstrates children a slide with a word “day off”.

T: How do you think, what does a “day off” mean? Can you guess?

Then two pictures with signs “work” and “day off” appear.

T: What about now? Can you spot the difference? What is the Russian for “day off”?

S: Выходной!

T: Absolutely! To have a day off means not to work. Выходной. And today we are going to talk about days off. What are your days off? Can you name them?

S: Saturday and Sunday.

T: Right you are! These are your days off. And now let’s learn some new places where people can work.

Teacher demonstrates a slide where three pictures are presented: a supermarket checkout, an ice cream stand, a break down service.

T: Let’s take a look. Look, where are we? We are at the supermarket.

There is a picture of a supermarket on the screen.

T: Repeat after me, a supermarket.

Students repeat the word after the teacher.

T: Great! And this is called a checkout. What is the Russian for “checkout”?

T: Now, let’s repeat all together, a supermarket checkout.

Students repeat after teacher. The teacher helps to correct the pronunciation, if needed.

The slide with the picture of an ice cream stand.
