Начальный этап

Good morning! I’m glad to see you. Sit down, please. How are you today?  Who is absent today?

Last time I gave you a home task. What was it? (to read the text about the Yungay Earthquake p. 24)

Ok, today we continue talking about natural disasters. We’re going to revise the vocabulary we have already covered and check your home task. Then we’ll watch a short video and revise some grammar.

Основной этап

Let’s start working then.  I’d like to begin our lesson by showing you some pictures that you can see on the screen. Look at them and tell me what natural disasters you can see there. Match the pictures and the letters. (Answers: a – volcano, b- tornado, c –drought, d- flood, e – hurricane, f - earthquake).

Well done! Now look at the next slide, please. So now let’s try to define these natural disasters. P1 read and translate the definitions, please.  Listen to the recording and match the definitions and the disasters.

 Ex:  1… is a large amount of water which covers a place that is usually dry land.

         4... is a very violent wind in the form of a funnel of air that spins at great speed.

(Answers: flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, volcano, drought)

Very good! And now let’s revise some vocabulary we’ve already learned. Listen and repeat after me:

achievement, to damage, flood, exploration, planet, the universe, spaceman, satellite, research, to launch, humid, disaster, to destroy, awful, terrible, to hurt, to injure, miserable, foggy, stormy, wet, star, the Moon, the Earth .

Now give me English equivalents for the following words. Let’s do it one by one:

влажный,  туманный, исследовать, ужасное бедствие, исследователь, запускать, мокрый, спутник, Земля, землетрясение, вселенная, наводнение, засуха, звезда, жалкий, разрушать до основания.

Now give me two adjectives that mean «ужасный» - terrible, awful - and two verbs for «разрушать, ломать» - damage, destroy and break.

Good. Now let’s pass over to checking your home task. Read and translate the text.

Who wants to start?

Ok. Let’s correct some of your mistakes.

Now let’s answer the questions after the text.

Based on the text you’ve read we’re going to do one more task. Look at the screen, please. So your task is to fill in the table. Give me 5 nouns, 5 verbs, 5 adjectives and 5 adverbs to describe the earthquake.

(ground, noise … jump, break … terrible, great … suddenly, up and down…)

Now we’re going to watch a short but interesting video and you’ll have to answer some of my questions. Let’s start watching.

1. What was the video about?

2. What cities were mentioned in the video?

3. Where did the most terrible earthquake take place and when did it happen?

4. What the engineers focus on today?

Well done, my dears!

Now let’s pass over to probably the less interesting part of the lesson for you, the grammar. We’re going to revise the usage of the Past Simple and the Past Continuous tenses. Who can come up to the blackboard and write down how are we to form these two tenses? When do we usually use them?

Very good, thank you. And now, what markers do we usually use with them?

Ok. Let’s do the exercise on the usage of these two tenses.    

Open your books on page twenty-six and do the exercise eighty-six. Put the verbs in to the correct form: the past continuous or the past simple.  Let’s look at the example

Ex: She  … (cook) dinner when the earthquake n… (shake) the town. – She was cooking dinner when the earthquake shook the town.

So what do we use in the first part of the sentence? You’re right, the Past Continuous, as this action happened in the middle of the second event.

So let’s do the other sentences.
