ХОД УРОКА

I. Знакомство с биографией членов группы и с творчеством The Beatles

Teacher: Today we’ll speak about the most famous British group “The Beatles”. Tell us what you know about this group.

Pupil 1: It is a very famous British rock group. It was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They became very popular in 1960s.

Pupil 2: They came from Liverpool, a town in the north of England. The Beatles had their first hit record in 1962. They gave concerts in Germany and America where they had a great success. Soon a hysteria which newspapers called “Beatlemania” swept Britain and soon America.

Pupil 3:  After 1965 the Beatles worked mostly on films and albums. In the sixties they created successful records and interesting films. Their first movie was called “Hard day’s night”.

Pupil 4:  The Beatles changed pop and rock music forever. From their first single,  “Love Me Do” in 1962, people heard something different to the usual pop music of the time. Their songs seemed to be more musical than others. The Beatles also looked nicer than anyone else. Many more people began to listen to pop music than before.

Teacher: I’d like to ask you some questions:

Are you fond of the Beatles?

What their famous songs do you know?

What is your favourite song?

Why do you like this group?

Do you have any Beatles records or CDs at home?

Which one do you like most of all?

Can you play the guitar?

What are your other favourite groups?

a fuse –  пробка,                     to indicate –  указать,

Учащиеся по очереди диктуют слова, которые нужно вставить в текст:

Will you still be sending me a (valentine),
Birthday greetings, (bottle) of wine?
If I’d been out till quarter to (three),
Would you  (lock the door)?
Will you still (need me), will you still (feed me),
When I’m  sixty-four?
(You’ll be) older too,

I could be (handy) mending a fuse
When your (lights) have gone.
You can knit a (sweater) by the fire side,
Sunday morning (go for a ride).
Doing the garden, (digging)  the weeds,
Who could ask for more?

Stating point of view.
