"Письмо личного характера". Подготовка к ОГЭ. 8 класс
материал для подготовки к егэ (гиа) по английскому языку (8 класс)

Тема: Письмо личного характера

План-конспект урока в 8 классе

Занимаясь изучением иностранного языка в школе, ученики должны овладеть одним из основных видов речевой деятельности – письменной речью. Согласно стандартам нового поколения по иностранному языку существуют определенные требования, предъявляемые к этому виду деятельности: учащиеся должны уметь писать личное письмо по образцу,  без опоры на образец (расспрашивать адресата о его жизни, делах, сообщать ту же информацию о себе, выражать благодарность, просьбу), используя материал учебных тем, усвоенных в устной речи, употребляя формулы речевого этикета, принятые в стране изучаемого языка; расспрашивать в личном письме о новостях и сообщать их; рассказывать об отдельных фактах, событиях своей жизни, выражая свои суждения и чувства; описывать свои планы на будущее; писать короткие поздравления. Написание личного письма в ответ на письмо друга по переписке является одним из заданий как в ЕГЭ, так и в ОГЭ по английскому языку, оно входит в часть C. При этом если в ЕГЭ объем письма – 100-140 слов, то в ОГЭ установлен лимит в 100-120 слов. Данная разработка подходит к любому УМК.

Цель урока: формирование и развитие умения написания письма личного характера.

Задачи урока: - повторить правила оформления и структуру личного  письма;

                          - закрепить правила написания личного письма.

Оборудование: компьютер, мультимедийная презентация, проектор.

Ход урока

I. Организационный момент.

Teacher: Good morning students! I am glad to see you. Sit down please. What date is it today? Who is absent today?

Ученики отвечают на вопросы учителя. 1-2 мин.

II. Постановка темы и задач урока. Речевая разминка. Warming up.

Teacher: Students, look at the pictures on the screen and try to guess what we are going to talk about.

Ученики высказывают предположения.

Teacher: Right you are! Today we will talk about personal letters. We will revise rules and structure of letter writing. And now answer my questions. Do you write letters to friends? Have you got a pen friend? What do you write about? Do you prefer writing letters or e-mails

Ученики отвечают на вопросы учителя. 5 мин.

III. Повторение правил и структуры письма личного характера.

Teacher: You have already learnt some steps in writing letters. I want to remind you some general rules: your letter must contain from 100 till 120 words; you should write your letter in an informal way, you should read the instruction attentively and follow the certain steps. Let’s try to reconstruct the structure of the personal letter. What should you write first in right upper corner

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Exactly. In the right upper corner you write your address. What do you write under an address?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: That’s right. You write a date after an address. What must be written in the left side after the date?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Yes, you greet your pen friend writing his or her name after the word Dear and then you put comma. What goes next?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: It’s correct. Then an introduction goes. In this part you thank your fiend for his or her letter and apologize for not writing earlier. What follows an introduction?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: You are quite right. An answer part follows an introduction. Here you answer your friend’s questions. What will be the next part?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Yes, there is a conclusion after an answer part. In this part you may excuse for stop writing and ask your friend to write soon. What are the two last elements of a personal letter?

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Well done! Closing line with a comma and your signature (a name) are the two last elements of a personal letter.  And now put down this scheme into your copy-books. 5-7 мин.

8-10 мин.

Teacher: And now write down words and set expressions for each part of personal letter. (А сейчас запишите слова и выражения для каждой части личного письма).

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you!

I am happy to know you have chosen your future profession. I’m also interested in foreign languages and cultures. And I hope to visit the USA next summer.

As for me, I have already made up my mind to become a teacher of foreign languages. I like to work with children. They make me feel happy.

I have already been to Italy and France. But I recommend you to visit Russia first for there are many places of interest. If you travelled to Russia, I would be your guide then.

Give my best to your parents. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Ann
