    2. Фонетическая разминка.

But first we are going to learn a small poem about Columbus. Who was Columbus? Well done. So, let’s start. Repeat after me, please.

LET’S REMEMBER COLUMBUS.

In fourteen hundred and ninety-two

Columbus sailed the ocean blue…

Let’s sing together this old song

About the voyage that took him long,

About the sailors, those strong brave men.

Let’s sing and remember them all again!

And now we are going to repeat it all together. Well, I am going to put away a line by line. So, let’s repeat it one more time. Good.

Good work. Thank you.

You know that Americans are very proud of their country. There is an anthem in the USA which they know by heart but we are going to read it today. You can see the translation of it on the papers. I should say it is very difficult for us.

The Star-Spangled Banner                  

The National Anthem

Oh, say can you see

by the dawn’s early light,

what so proudly we hail’d

        at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

        thro’ the perilous fight

O’er the ramparts we watch’d

        were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare,

        the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro’ the night

        that our Flag was still there.

Oh, say does that

        Star Spangled Banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free,

        and home of the brave?

И в самых первых утренних лучах

И при последнем всполохе заката

Ты видишь, что приветствуем мы гордо,

Чьи полосы широкие и звёзды

Сквозь все препоны битвы и сраженья,

Ты знаешь, путеводно нам светили?

И нам разрывы вражеских снарядов

Служили верным знаком среди ночи,

Что флаг наш полосатый не опущен.

Скажи мне, друг, по-прежнему ли реет

Свободы звездно-полосатый вестник

Над этой вольной храбрости купелью?

Well I think you are tired a bit so let’s rest for a while.

Well done.

               6. Развитие навыков чтения и аудирования.

We speak about Americans. But who is the real American? To know it I want you to listen to the text and make some tasks. But first pay attention to the new words.

neither nor - ни…ни

descendent - потомок

hence - отсюда, следовательно

mixture – смесь

blood – кровь

point out – указать

Dutch-датский, голландский

prejudices- предубеждение

mode of life- образ жизни

embraced- принимать

melted- таять, растворяться

prosperity- процветание, благосостояние

And now listen to me very attentively. Put the sentences in the right order. Check yourself.

What then is the American, this new man? He is neither an European, nor the descendent of an European, hence that strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was a Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds… Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and prosperity will one day cause great changes in the world.

Good work.

And now a task for you to check how have you understood the text. Your task is to choose if the statement is true, false or don’t know.

1. The American is neither an European, nor the descendent of an European.

2. The American doesn’t leave behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners.

3. You will find such people in any other country.

4. In America individuals of all nations are melted.

5. The Americans will one day cause great changes in the world.

                               3. F

                               4. T
