Beginning

T: Good morning, my dear friends! I am very glad to see you all here! Let’s start our lesson. Are you all right? How are you doing? I hope you will be pleased with our work during the lesson. Firstly, I’d like to know your opinion about the following saying: (on screen)

Introduction of the lesson

T:  Firstly, have any ideas about the following saying (on screen)

“It is less important the way we wear but more the way we act” (Proverb)

S1:  As for me, I disagree with this saying. I think fashion is very important in life of people. It helps to be individual.

S2.  I agree with the opinion because a lot of people don’t care about fashion, they try to act reasonably.

S3. It’s known tastes differ. Fashionable clothes don’t change the way a person looks but it can improve their appearance. A person should wear clothes that match the occasion.

T:  Thank you for your opinion. We’ll discuss this problem during our lesson and we’ll see who is right. Well, look at the screen and these pictures on it.

-What clothes do you usually wear at school and at home?

Group 1: As for our group, we prefer to wear casual clothes. We feel comfortable in them. At home we wear anything we like-usually jogging trousers and a T-shirt. We wear our uniform to school, sometimes a skirt, but mostly trousers.

Group 2: We try to choose cotton or woolen clothes. Most of  us like plain or striped pattern best. We prefer elegant style. At home we wear trousers or jeans, T-shirt and a woolen jumper when it is cold.

Group 3: We wear comfortable clothes to school. But when  we go somewhere special prefer something smart like a dress or something trendy.

Do you try to keep up with the latest fashions?

Group 1: Not really. We like to wear what  we like, not  what the magazines tell us to wear.

Group 2: We like to experiment with  clothes and see what looks good.

Group 3: Our group likes getting dressed up. It feels good to make an effort.

Do you agree with the saying: “ Clothes make the man”?

Group 1: We think clothes are status thing.

Group 2: It’s true. We feel better if  we know we have good clothes on.

Group 3: People make up their mind about you , when they look at your clothes. So, our clothes have to be of the latest fashion.

Listening to the three speakers’ monologues 

T:  Thank you! You exchanged opinions on trendy clothes in your class. Would you like to know British teens’ attitudes towards fashion?

To be bothered about- быть обеспокоенным

To tend to stick to- стремиться придерживаться чего-либо

Rip- рваться

Affordable- доступный

To hit the shops- опустошать магазины

To pick up bargains- дёшево купить

To stand out in crowd- выделяться в толпе

To keep up with- « идти в ногу» с модой

Speaking: (expressing opinions)

T:  Which of the opinions do you share and why?

S1:  I share John’s attitude to fashion. He is not really bothered about brand names. As for me, I don’t care about it either and prefer casual cheap clothes: jeans, trainers, hoodie, T-shirt. They are cheap, cool and comfy.

S2:  I prefer Amy’s opinion. I care about fashion. My favourite pastime is to look through the latest magazines. I adore to look round in the shops and find something peculiar. My friends think that I spend much money and time on clothes. But I fancy to be into fashion.

S3:  As for me, I share Lisa’s opinion. Why? She is cute. Lisa enjoys hanging out around the city and look up unusual clothes. She likes to stand out in a crowd. As for me, I prefer bright, unusual clothes as well. It’s cool to be creative.

T:  Thank you for your answers. They were very interesting. Well, let’s continue our lesson.

Reading a story of T-shirt

T:  Styles are changing. Fashions come and go out. But some clothes have the popularity all over the world for many years. Let’s read the story about the origin of T-shirt. The text is divided into several parts. Put it into logical order.

T-shirt

a) American troops copied the idea and started calling them “T-shirt” because of their T shape. In the mid-1950s, rock star Elvis Presley shocked the world by wearing the T-shirt on TV.

b) By the 1960s, T-shirts had conquered the world. Sports teams, clubs and rock bands were all using colours and logos on their “tees” to be noticed.

c) T-shirts started as underwear. During the First World War, European soldiers wore them underneath their uniforms to keep warm.

d) They tell others what we like, where we have been, the things we’ve done, the competitions we’ve won.

e) Today, t-shirts are worn in every corner of the world. Babies, kids, teenagers and adults wear them.

T: Look at the screen and check yourself.

Key:  c),  a),  b),  e),  d)

Project (Famous designers)

T:   Is it easy to be fashionable these days? What do you think?

S:  I think it is, as lots of designers make clothes for different kinds of shops and different groups of people.

T:  I fully agree with you. And now let’s talk about people who make high fashion. Look at the screen.

The famous designers’ labels are:

T:  Do you know these persons?  That’s right. They are Valentine Yudashkin and Vyacheslav  Zaitsev. Some students have prepared mini-projects about them. Let’s listen to them.

S1:  Valentine Yudashkin is the famous designer. He is known all over the world as very talented person.

S2:  Valentine Yudashkin was born near Moscow in 1963. Nearly all his life he has been studying the Russian costume. He showed his first collection in Russia, in 1978. Valentine Yudashkin opened his designer house in Moscow in 1993. Among his clients now are famous singers, businessmen, artists, scientists.

S3:  In one of his releases, he said about his roots: “ I am terribly Russian, but the capital of fashion is Paris”. His life motto is to give joy and hope to all the people.

S4:  Vyacheslav Zaitsev was born in Ivanovo in 1938. He is famous not only as the Russian designer but as the artist and the poet as well. Nearly forty  years his name is connected with the world of  high fashion. For many years he was the leader in Russian fashion. Zaitsev began to draw in his childhood. His pictures were so splendid that all who saw them were sure Slava would become very famous once.

S5:  In 1982 he founded the professional House of fashion in Moscow and became the leader of the Theatre of fashion. All his life he has been co-operating with famous people. His motto is beautiful clothes make a person confident. All over the world Zaitsev is known as the initiator of different contests, seminars and festivals. The famous designer was awarded by some orders, medals and prices. Also he has received some rewards in Paris too. We are proud of our outstanding designers.
