Pronouns it, one. Means of communication

Consolidation lesson.

1. Teach pupils to use pronouns correctly.                    

2. Develop pupils’ grammar skills.

3. Bring up students to respect each other opinions.  

The procedure of the lesson:

T: Good morning, dear students! Sit down! Who is on duty today? What date is it today? Who is absent today? Who can tell me, what day is it today? Ok, you are right! What season is it now? 

Look at the board! You can see a tongue-twister there. Listen to me attentively and say it as quickly as it is possible:

A big black bug bit a big black dog and the big black dog bit the big black bug nose.

Today we are going to teach pronouns and means of communication. What are they? Yes, that’s right 

Means of Communication (Read and translate)

People use various means of communication to get from one place to another. In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on horseback or by. boats and ships. Then trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other means appeared.

Many people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of traveling. A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and fields through windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.

People who live in big cities use various means of communication to get from one place to another. Londoners use the underground railway. They call it "the tube". London's underground is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863. There was one route at that time, four miles long. Now London's underground has 277 stations and it is 244 miles long. Londoners use buses. The first bus route was opened in London in 1904 Today there are hundreds of routes there. The interesting thing is that some of the routes are the same as many years ago.

London's buses are double-decked buses. Londoners do not use trams, though London was the first city where trams appeared. And now it is one of the biggest cities in the world where there are no trams. The last tram left the streets of London many years ago. Londoners use cars. One can see a lot of cars in London streets. When Londoners leave the town, they use trains, ships or planes.

We use personal pronouns in place of noun phrases. We often use them to refer back to people and things that we have already identified (underlined):

Peter complained to the chef about the meal. She wasn’t very helpful so he spoke to the manager. (she = the chef, he = Peter)

Where’s the knife? I can’t find it

It’s in the drawer. (it = the knife)

We use it to refer to things:

My computer isn’t working. It’s crashed again. Can you have a look at it?

We use it as an empty pronoun, also known as a ‘dummy’ subject, where there is no other subject to put in the subject position, particularly when referring to the weather or time:

(Мы используем его как пустой местоимением, также известный как «фиктивное» тему, где нет другого предмета поставить в субъектной позиции, особенно когда речь идет о погоде или времени:)

It’s so lovely to see you.

It’s already ten o’clock.

It’s snowing.

We usually use it to refer to countries, vehicles and machines. (Обычно мы используем его для обозначения стран, транспортных средств и машин.)

We spent three weeks in Malaysia. It’s a beautiful country.

Three hours after the ship sailed, it developed engine trouble

We use one (singular) and ones (plural) to avoid unnecessary repetition.

See those two girls? Helen is the tall one and Jane is the short one.
Which is your car, the red one or the blue one?
My trousers are torn. I need some new ones.
See those two girls. Helen is the one on the left.
Let’s look at the photographs. The ones you took in Paris.

We often use them after Which ... in questions:

You can borrow a book. Which one do you want?
There are lots of books here. Which ones are yours?
