Ход урока.

1. Организация начала урока.

I. Good morning, dear friends! I am so glad to see you at my lesson.

Let us sing the song “On the streets”. I believe that everybody wants nothing more than to have a place that he can call home.

2. Warming – up:

 It is so wonderful to have a home! We can come home any time we like, do what we like, have a good rest in our comfortable armchairs and sofas, watch TV programs, solve any problems together, be happy with our home mates …” Home, sweet home”, English people say. But do you know the difference between “a house” and “a home”?

1) What words are associated with the word “House”?

- “a house” is a building, in which people live.

2) What words are associated with the word “house”?

- a home” is a place where you feel comfortable and safe.

3) What is “home” for you?

• Home isn’t a place; it’s a feeling.
• A place where I can be 100 percent me.
• Home is being around people who can drive you absolutely crazy one moment and make you feel like a million dollars the next. It’s knowing that no matter how hard times get, someone is there for you.
• Home is a place of love and comfort that always welcomes you with open arms―and perhaps a plate of freshly baked cookies.
• Home is where the rags of your life are turned into quilts, lemons become lemonade, and a few extra pounds are simply welcomed as “more of you to love.”
• A place that evokes a sigh of relief as I walk in the door.
• Home is my soft place to land.
• It’s where my palm meets my daughter’s palm. When I’m holding her hand in mine, there is no place on earth I’d rather be.
• The smell of fresh laundry and a hot cup of tea.

What proverbs about house do you know?

East or west home is best.

There is no place like home.

My home is my castle.

Do you know Russian proverbs?

Всякий дом хозяином держится.

Без хозяина – дом сирота.

Нет ничего лучше родного дома.

Suggested Answer Key

British people live in a variety of different types of houses. There are detached and semi-detached houses, terraced houses, flats, council houses and bungalows. Many people live in detached and semi-detached houses in the suburbs or in villages. British people who live in or near town centres, on the other hand, tend to live interraced houses. These houses are built in rows and are often close together and have few rooms. Many houses in British inner-city areas are blocks of flats. Some of these are homes to the wealthy; others are cheap council flats. British pensioners often live in bungalows in the suburbs or in villages. These are homes, which have no stairs.

Suggested Answer Key

There is definitely a variety of houses in Russia that caters to the different lifestyles and people that live in them. Most Russian cities are very crowded and congested so houses are often small and in apartment type structures. Prerevolutionary buildings are low-rise buildings usually situated in the city centres. They are examples of fine architecture with beautiful facades and grand antique entrances. They consist of one to two spacious apartments per floor. Each apartment has high ceiling and large

windows. Block buildings on the other hand, are 9–17 storey buildings built in the 1950–80s to help

with housing shortages in the inner cities. The apartments are small with plain decor. Residential complexes are the newest type of housing to Russia and considered the most luxurious. These large apartments are found inhigh-level security complexes. The complexes also provide modern facilities such as pools, garages, parks and sometimes even gyms. They are high cost houses in Russia. Cottage complexes usually built in the suburbs of large cities are getting more and more popular in Russia. They are very expensive, too. In rural areas and villages, the most popular homes are the traditional wooden farmhouses (“izba”) that farmers and their families live in. Wooden decorations can be seen on doors, at corners and around windows. The main room of the house is usually defined by the large stove which makes it the only heated room in the structure. A separate storeroom might be below or to the side of the main room. Other structures might also be attached to the main building, especially in northern Russia.

Итоги урока

Домашнее задание: выучить новые слова №2 б стр.95, напишите о доме в вашей стране№4 стр. 95

In my opinion, the most popular types of houses in Russia are flat, detached house and summer cottage.

Flats are really popular in small and big cities, especially they are found in the center. There is a big variety in sizes of them; flats can be from one-room to five-room, in general it depends on the cost. In such houses middle stratum of society live. Besides, block of flats usually have iron roof, brick walling and vinyl windows.

Detached houses are located in the suburbs, on the outskirts of a town and in villages. It is often a huge house which is built from bricks or wood. Detached house is very comfortable one, because there are no neighbors from upstairs or downstairs. What is more, in this type of house also middle class live, usually with their families.

Summer cottages are always found in the suburbs. People build them in order to have some place where they can have a rest and sometimes grow different fruit or vegetables. Some cottages are heated, so people can stay there even in the winter. Moreover, this type of house usually has a big size, but not always. The most interesting fact is that almost every summer cottage has steam bath.
