1. Орг. момент.

Good afternoon everybody. I’m glad to see you. I hope you are fine today and ready to work hard. So, let’s start. Today we are going to speak about «Is it easy to be young?», read the texts about today’s youth and to learn about the Gerund, practice in reading, translating, doing grammar exercises.

2) Работа с текстом Today’s youth.

Let’s read the first passage of the text.

Today’s youth.

One of the most important factors is that the children and teens of today differ from previous  generations, and differ a lot. They grow up quicker – physically and mentally. They sometimes lack knowledge, but they know what they want in this life. They are personalities even at the age of 14-16. Unfortunately some grown-ups don’t understand this and try to show teens “the right way of life». It’s stupid for children don’t want to listen to them; very often grown-ups loose contact with teens.

Notes

Mentally – умственно

Read the statements and say which of the following is not true according to the passage?

1. The children of today differ a lot from previous  generations.
2. Very often grown-ups loose contact with teens because the young are personalities even at the age 14-16.
3. Very often grown-ups loose contact with teens because they try to show teens “the right way of life”.
4. The teens of today know what they want in this life.

Read this passage and say which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

I completely agree that they grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They doubt that the older generation has created the best of possible worlds.

1. The young don’t like the ideas and values of their elders.
2. They think only about themselves
3. They think more for themselves and doubt that the older generation has created the best of possible worlds.
4. They don’t want to be dependent on their parents.

Read this passage and complete the statement below.

What the young reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility?

Traditionally, the young have turned to the older for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old – if they are prepared to admit it – could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not sinful. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and your leisure.

The main idea of this passage is that…

3. Объяснение грамматического материала.

Let’s speak about the gerund.

Герундий – неличная форма глагола, сочетающая в себе свойства глагола и существительного и выражающая процесс reading – чтение. В русском языке нет формы глагола, соответствующей герундию, но он в некоторой степени напоминает отглагольное существительное (хождение, ожидание, чтение) и может переводиться на русский язык  существительным, инфинитивом, деепричастием, глаголом в личной форме, а также придаточным предложением в зависимости от его функции в предложении.

Функции герундия в предложении.

Герундий может употребляться в функции подлежащего, именной части сказуемого, косвенного дополнения, обстоятельства, составного глагольного сказуемого, определения.

Герундий в функции подлежащего: Skiing is good for her. – Кататься (катание) на лыжах полезно для неё.

Герундий в функции именной части сказуемого: His favourite pastime is playing the guitar. – Его любимое времяпровождение – игра на гитаре.

Герундий образуется путём прибавления окончания – ing к инфинитиву глагола без частицы to. Если глагол оканчивается на букву – e, то при прибавлении окончания –ing она отбрасывается:

To smoke – курить, smoking – курение.

При прибавлении –ing конечная согласная удваивается, если ей предшествует ударная гласная, стоящая в закрытом слоге:

To swim – плавать, swimming – плавание.

Если буква l является конечной, то при прибавлении – ing она удваивается:

To travel – путешествовать, travelling – путешестсвие.  

При прибавлении – ing буквосочетание ie меняется на y:

To lie – лгать, lying – ложь.
