P: Yes, it is.

T: Good! Let’s do it.

(Teacher asks the words and pupils answer)

Santa is his name-o.

S-A-N-T-A

S-A-N-T-A

S-A-N-T-A

And Santa is his name-o. (7 times)

5. Speaking (Говорение)

T: And now it’s time to speak about special days. I’ve prepared for you pictures with some public holidays. Your task is to make up some sentences about holidays and also you should say what people can do on this day. You can use some words for help from ex.2a, p. 109.

(Pupils describe holidays)

T: Nice! Let’s do the next task! I have some replicas with names of holidays. You take one of them and after that you should try to find your partner with the same holidays and then you should role play greeting to each other on special day and your classmate greets in return. It helps you not only speak about holidays but wish something in one of the special days. Let’s do it. Well done.

6. Round-up (Рефлексия)

T: Good job! Our lesson has already finished that’s why let’s make some conclusions. Did you enjoy today’s lesson? If “yes” stick a snowflake in the right bag, if “no” stick a snowflake in the left bag.

Good. I see. I’d like to thank you for good work at the lesson. Please, take your recordbooks and write down your homework: ex. 2c, p. 109. You should make up a story about your favourite special day and explain why you like it. If you want to get:
