Teacher: Good morning, my dear boys and girls! I’m so glad to see all of you here. I want to hope that you are ok. Are you ready to speak, read, write about past events and finally listen to me? If so, please, raise your right hand.

Checking up home task of the previous lesson.

Teacher: If you remember last lesson we were discussing types of programs on TV. And, as usually, we wrote down new expressions. Let’s check them up.

Look at the blackboard. Here you can see Matching.

Please, match all these words as quickly as you can.

Ok. Well done!

Well, I want you to think about definitions to these words.

For example: a funny cartoon, a true weather forecast… and so on.

READING

Read and translate the text.

The mass media play an important role in our lives. Newspapers, radio and especially television informs us about what is happening in the world and gives us great opportunity for education and entertainment. Of course, not all newspapers and television report events objectively, but serious journalists try to be honest and give us true information. The main source of news for millions of people is still television. People like television news because they can see everything with their own eyes. However, many people prefer the radio. They like to listen to it in the car or outdoors. Newspapers do not respond to events as fast as television, but they usually provide us with additional information. Recently, the Internet has become another important source of information. Its main advantage is that the news appears on the screen as soon as something happens in real life, and you do not need to wait for the news on TV. And nevertheless, television remains one of the most important sources of information in mass media.

LISTENING

Teacher: Let’s go further. And now listen to my short story very attentively… after reading this story you have to guess, what the theme of our lesson will be.

“Hi! My name is Jessica. My family and I live in New York. We have been living here all our life. But last week, can you imagine, we went to the country! My grandparents live there. And I promised them to come. You can ask what I was doing there. We went to the river. I was swimming all day long. I and my parents were sunbathing on the bank of this river. We went to the local farm. I saw many different animals: cows, sheep, goats, donkeys. I helped my grandmother about the house. Also I went shopping. I liked my vacation very much!
