Questions.
Why is it said that cars have given us freedom?
In what way do cars change the face of the towns themselves?
What do pedestrians suffer from?
Why are corner shops disappearing?
Have you noticed any changes, caused by the increasing number of cars in this town? What are they?
- Parts of a car. Let us see if you are good drivers. Students show parts of a car and name them. If they succeed, they join the group of drivers, if not – pedestrians (see Smartboard activity)
- Discussion. Cars make city dwellers` lives much more complicated (students are divided into two groups “Drivers” and “Pedestrians”. Drivers are convinced that their life has become easier, while the pedestrians think that their life has become much more complicated. Students have several minutes to think over their arguments and then they come up with their ideas. After having heard an argument, the other group thinks of the counterargument)
I agree
- People suffer from pollution, the amount of toxic fumes is unbearable
- Roads keep getting widened, pavements become narrower
- Parking spaces change the face of towns themselves (flowerbeds, loans and trees are disappearing)
- It is difficult to get about in the car in the rush hour
I disagree
- Cars have made our lives less complicated because we don`t have to use public transport which is often overcrowded and dirty
- Cars allow city dwellers to get to any destination quickly
- Paraphrasing techniques.
While writing an essay you will have to paraphrase the theme of your essay several times. What are the main paraphrasing techniques?
Find the synonym.
A car – a vehicle, an automobile
Complicated – difficult, complex
City dwellers – citizens, residents, inhabitants
- Feedback I know/can …(see workouts)
- Hometask: write an essay.
