| Hello! Sit down, please Today I’d like to start the lesson with a children song. Look at the blackboard please. And try to guess what is the topic of our lesson today.
The film So, everything was simple. What is the song about? How often do you spend time with your parents and siblings ? What do you do together? Do you celebrate any holidays together?
So, Who can call me the name of our lesson? “Family traditions”
And the question is “What do we need them for!?”
Look at the blackboard. Can you say what family traditions do you know? (Answers)
Look at the pictures of these traditions. What do you think they show? What do we need them for? (Answers)
Примерные ответы: These families spend time playing sports together. I think they have a lot of fun. It’s important to organize something to have time with each other, because you feel secure when there’s a family behind you.
On these pictures we can observe families celebrating different holidays: New Year, Birthdays, and Thanksgiving Day. To my mind they are happy, because these days are special with charm and surprises. People give presents to each other, visit their relatives. It gives a sense of unity. And it make them realize that you care for them.
Here we can see parents and their children watching TV and reading books before going to sleep. It’s necessary to spend time with children in the evening just talking, reading or watching TV, I guess when people spend more time together they are closer to each other.
