      And now, let’s get down to our phonetics. We’ll start our lesson with the poem. Look at the blackboard. I’d like to read a poem to you. Listen to me.

If many men knew

What many men know,

If many men went

Where  many men go,

If many men did

What many men do,

The world would be better –

I think so, don’t you?

      Let’s translate this poem.

Если бы многие мужчины знали

Что многие мужчины знают,

Если бы многие мужчины ходили

Туда куда многие мужчины ходят,

Если бы многие мужчины делали то,

Что многие мужчины делают,

Мир стал бы лучше –

Так думаю я, не так ли?

      And now, listen to me and repeat after me. All together, please, and take your time.

Many, knew, what,  men know, went, where, many men go, many men,

the world,  would, the world would,  better, be better, think, don’t you

       Let’s read the poem once more. Without me, please! (дети читают стихотворение хором без учителя)

Susan: Why honey, Mum?                 

Mum: Because honey is good for your throat.

     Ok. You are good boys and girls!

III. I think you are tired after all your hard work. Now let’s have a little fun. We’ll play “The Memory Game”. I shall call on a boy or a girl, who must name any word on the theme “Mass Media” (for axample: newspaper). The next pupil must repeat this word and add another (for example: newspaper, radio). The third pupil repeats these two words and adds another (for example: newspaper, radio, television) and so on.

Обязательное условие игры – ученики не должны повторяться, но слова должны называться в том же порядке, как они назывались. Сделавшие ошибки школьники выбывают из игры. Побеждает тот ученик, который назовет правильно больше слов по теме.

Let’s get on our work.

I think we can carry on with any game.

IV. We’re about to read to an interesting text today. Read, translate and answer the questions:

Mass Media

Mass media or mass communications are the press, radio and television.

Every day we read newspapers, and magazines, listen to radio and watch TV. Nowadays there are so many newspapers and magazines, radio stations and TV channels that we have to be very selective and give preference to some of them.

What newspapers and magazines do I prefer to read? I like to read the following newspapers: "Komsomolskaya Pravda" ("Komsomol Truth"), "Nezavisimost" ("Independence"), "Argumenty i Fakty" ("Arguments and Facts").

Several periodicals are available in English. As far as newspapers are concerned they may be daily, or weekly. Magazines may be weekly, monthly and quarterly.

The newspapers and magazines I read are the most readable and have a large readership or circulation. For example, "Argumenty i Fakty" has a circulation of more than 23 000 000. It is the largest in the world. The newspapers contain and give coverage of local, home and foreign affairs. Their publications deal with very burning problems of our history, latest events and forecasts for future. They also touch upon cultural, sport news. I like the way they present different points of view, approaches to the problems. My parents and I subscribe to some periodicals, so we are subscribers. We buy some of newspapers and magazines in a kiosk.

I often listen to radio, especially in the morning before I leave for school. I prefer to listen to "Mayak" ("Lighthouse") programm. They broadcast much news and music. I like to listen to weekend programmes, some of them are very amusing and entertaining.

As to the TV, we have 4 channels. I prefer to watch youth programmes.

In addition I like to see interesting films. They might be feature, adventure, scientific, horror, cartoon and other films. I enjoy seeing Walt Disney's cartoons. Now and then I like to see the programme "Love at First Sight". It is an enjoyable and entertaining one.

Questions:

1.  What do we read every day?

2. Why do we have to be very selective nowadays?

3. What do the newspapers contain and give?

4.  What do radio programmes broadcast?

5. Where do you buy newspapers?

6. Which programmes do you prefer to watch?

Заключительный этап
