(Epigraph on the blackboard)

1. The beginning of the lesson

Teacher: Good morning, students. I am glad to see you! Let’s listen to the song. (Звучит запись песни “The Greatest Things in Life are Free”, Song Sheets, Module 2, Student’s Book “Spotlight 10”V.Evans, J.Dooley)

2. Warming-Up

 Teacher: Do you like the song? According to the singer, what can’t we do with money?  Do you think you would be happier if you suddenly become rich? How do you think your life would change? (Students’ answers)

Teacher: OK, can you guess what we are going to talk about today?                 (Students’ answers – In my opinion, we are going to talk about money)

Teacher: You are right. The topic of our lesson is “Money makes the world go round, doesn’t it?” People work for money and they sometimes make friends for money; they love, live and die for money. Today we’ll learn some new facts from the history of money and we’ll discuss and try to answer some very important questions:

-  Does money really make the world go round?

- Can money make us happier?

- Why do people need money? (Students’ answers)

3. Vocabulary Practice

Teacher:  What is money? (Students – Money is anything that is generally accepted by people in exchange for the things they sell or the work they do.)

You can see a magic map. Try to find as many words as possible on the topic “money”. Let’s put them down on the blackboard.

• cash, cheque, credit card, salary, coin, tax, wage, note…..

4. Speaking Task

2) Last year I inherited some money from my grandmother, but I haven’t spent it yet. I’m saving it; for a wet day/a rainy day.

Teacher: Money is a very important thing for people, that is why there are a lot of proverbs and sayings about money. We have already learnt some of them. On your desks you can see some proverbs written on different halves. Try to match them. Make the right choice. Find Russian equivalents. Choose and explain the meaning of the proverb you like most of all.

7. Grammar/ Use of English

8. Game “Chain of events”

Teacher: Imagine the situation described in the text. What would you do?

It is time to play the game called “Chain of events”. Use the second conditional and don’t forget that you should start your own sentence from the previous one.

(Students’ answers) If I won $1 million in a lottery, I would buy an island.
If I bought an island, I would build a big house there.
If I built a big house, I would invite all my friends.
If I invited all my friends, I would have parties every day.
If I had parties every day, I would spend all my money…..

9. Speaking Task/ Discussion

Questions:
