Read the text.
Choose from (A—H) the one which best fits each space (1—7). One choice is
extra.
With thousands of English Language
Studying Programmes 1)____ students often have a difficult time
identifying the ideal programme for them.
So, in order to make
the right choice,
students should consider
a number of factors.
First, find a programme that will help you reach your
goals, whether they are for business, entrance to a university, or pleasure.
Look over the programme's website
and see if
you can find
a statement which
should reveal the programme's own goals. Ask for a copy of a class
syllabus to see 2)___.
Talk to current
or former students to see
what their experiences were like.
Second,
look into the teachers'
qualifications to see
not only 3) _______ but also what experiences they
have had working with international students. Do the teachers have experience
working overseas? Do they speak another language? If so, they might have a
better understanding of the educational backgrounds of their students. Third,
ask about the student composition of the programme. How many nationalities
are represented in
the classes? A broad mix of students
will give you a variety
of 4) _____and learn about
other foreign cultures.
However, even if there are students 5) _____ , you can
still have a very positive experience, especially if the teacher
encourages the use of English in class. On the other hand, don't choose a
programme solely based on
classroom composition. Remember
that you will
only be in
class a few hours
a day, so
you'll actually have
more time outside
of class 6) ______ , so
THAT is
your real classroom.
Then, compare the prices of programmes in the area you
want to live. Just remember that price is not the best indicator of a
programme's quality, though keep in mind that better and more experienced
instructors are often paid more, and thus,
the tuition reflects this. Also,
the school might provide good computer,
recreational, and educational
facilities 7)_____ to a good
learning atmosphere, and thus, this can be added to your tuition cost.
Thus, as the experience shows, you get
what you pay for.
A how long

C what will
be studied in
the class
D to interact

Вступ
В час, коли Україна зміцнює та
розвиває партнерські зв’язки з європейськими та світовими країнами, усе більше
зростає потреба формування у школярів знань про країни світу, вміння
спілкуватися іноземними мовами та навички самостійної роботи з пошуку та
накопичування інформації в різноманітних галузях. Тому оволодіння іноземними
мовами визначене як один з пріоритетних напрямків реформування освіти.
Оскільки мова залишається єдиною
універсальною базою мислення, знання іноземної мови слід розглядати з погляду
вдосконалення інтелектуальних здібностей (пам’яті, уяви, критичного, логічного,
креативного мислення). На основі розвинених інтелектуальних здібностей
відбувається процес формування творчих здібностей, бо творчість є найвищим
виявом розвитку людського розуму. Завдяки творчій діяльності в дитини
розвивається здатність самостійно розвивати свої можливості.
Творчий вчитель користується різними
новітніми технологіями для розвитку творчості учня. Отже, автором були
використані різні методи, які є дуже вдалими для розвитку особистості дитини.
Автор сподівається, що даний
навчальний посібник, який певною мірою відображає власний досвід викладання
предмету, сприятиме творчому пошуку вчителів поліпшенню методики проведення
сучасного уроку.

love. Read the quotation on the blackboard and say how do you understand it?
(Quotation:
“Love is just like the measles.
We all have to go through it”
Jerome K. Jerome).
III. Listening Comprehension.
Pre-Listening
T.: Love is a very great feeling. A
lot of people fall in love every day. As for you, what does love mean?
P1: Love means respect for each
other; it makes people kinder, more beautiful. Love is wonderful, people cannot
live without love.
P2: It seems there is nothing simpler
than love and at the same time, there is nothing more complicated than love.
Everybody feels love to mother but it is hard to explain what love is. Try to
say what the feeling means and you will see that the words are poor and cover
only a part of the whole. Life is full of love but nobody can see that.
P3: We love our parents and
relatives, friends and pets; we love our homes and our Motherland, Ukraine
T.: There is an old legend about it.
Listen!

-
… better than having money.
-
… the strongest emotion you will ever fell.
-
… only for young people.
-
… will never die.
-
… as high as a mountain and as deep as the sea.
Once upon a time there were not men and
women. These ancient people were stronger and wiser than gods. They could do
everything and they were happy. The gods did not like that. They decided to win
people. But how to do that? The gods thought much and at last decided to divide
each person into two parts, a man and a woman, and mix them on the Earth. So
they did. Since that time people became weak. Each one tries to find the lost
half. Those, who found each other, fell in love and become stronger than gods
again.

variant. Explain your choice.

Trust
Your Heart
Melinda
stood at the end of the garden, watching the sun begin to set behind the
orchard into the sea beyond. She stood as she had done so many times thinking
of that last quarrel two weeks before. She remembered how Damian had at first
denied the affair with Tamsin, but then when she had forced him to admit it,
how he had apologized and begged her for forgiveness. She sobbed a little as
she thought of her harsh words, and how Damian, the only man she had ever
really loved, had broken down and cried like a baby when she had refused to see
him again. That was two weeks ago and she had heard nothing from him since. She
had tried to telephone. She wanted to admit that she had been unjust, to tell
him how much she regretted calling him a liar, she wanted to explain that she
hadn’t meant to hurt him.
Suddenly
the noise of the garden gate opening startled her. She turned and through the
groom she thought she could make out the familiar figure of Damian. Was it him
…? Could it possibly be …? The approaching figure stepped into the last patch
of sunlight and the last rays of the setting sun illuminated his long, dark,
curly hair. He stopped, unsure of himself. “Oh. Damian,” she called softly.
“Damian, it is really you”.
“Melinda”,
he murmured. “My Melinda!”
She sighed
deeply and ran to greet him. She took his hands tightly in hers. “My darling”,
she whispered. “Can you ever forgive me?”
“We must never speak of it again”, he replied.
“But
Damian, I never meant …”
He
interrupted her, “It’s all right. I know that now. My darling, promise me
something? ”
“Anything”
she cried.
“Here,
this is for you. Please, please accept it, and wear it forever”. He drew a
small leather box from his pocket and leaned forward to give it to her.
Suddenly the box fell from his grasp. He bent to pick it up and at that moment
his glasses slipped from his nose.
“Blast!
Now where have they gone? I can’t see a thing without them”, he explained.
Melinda went to help him. There was a crunch as his foot crushed the glasses
into the gravel path. “Oh, no, now I’ve trodden on them!” he exclaimed. Why
can’t I do anything right? Why do I always ruin everything?”
Her
laughter pealed round the garden. “Oh, Damian, you silly boy, that’s why I love
you so much!”
Post-Reading
T.: Now, here are some notes about
what happened on the previous page of “Trust Your Heart”, when Melinda and
Damian met for the first time at a party. Read the notes and construct their
conversation. Work in pairs.
Example: Mrs. Blaze introduced her to Damian.
“Oh, Melinda, I’d like you to meet Damian”.
Continue:
- They greeted each other.
- He offered to get her a drink.
- She thanked and asked him to get her a dry
sherry.
- He brought her a martini, and apologized because
they’d run out of sherry.
- She replied that it didn’t matter, and told him
not to worry about it.
- He asked her if she would like to dance, and she
accepted.
- He said how much he liked the music and she
agreed.
- He complimented her on her dress, and she thanked
him, and added that she had mad it herself.
- He invited her to watch the sunset on the
terrace, and she accepted.
- He suggested dinner the next evening.
- She agreed and promised to meet him.
- He suggested “The Old Stable” restaurant and
explained that the owner was his old school friend.
- He arranged to collect her at eight o’clock.
V. Developing
Writing Skills
T.: Love is a very warm affection for
someone who attracts you. I would like to offer you one more kind of work. It
is a love poem. Read it, fill in the gaps. The missing words are in the box
below the poem.
Meeting You
When I met you at … station
I’d waited
for hours … day
I was sad when you had left
the all …
Months ago,
But now you’re here to stay.
We spent … time just walking
So … hours went
by.
We’d made so … promises
So … love you can’t deny.
It’s now … years later.
Our love is still so
strong … moment fills
My heart
with joy.
How could this love be wrong?
… love goes a long, long way
It’s … to last a lifetime
… day at … cold dark station.
Who could have guessed you’d be mine again.
(That, enough, a few, many, some, the, those, a little, the, each, that,
many, much).

II.
Warming-up
activity.
T.: Dear children! Today we’ll continue speaking about love. And first
of all, I’d like to discuss with you attitudes to being in love. How would you
complete the sentence “Being in love…?” You will work in groups with the HO and
put definitions 1 to 16 into categories: cynical, romantic, realistic. Decide
which category the definitions of being in love fall into and write the
numbers. You may add your own definitions of being in love. Write them under
the relevant headings. Then we’ll discuss your opinions. Start working.
BEING IN LOVE…

- … makes you lose control.
- … is bad for your health.
- … is only for young people.
- … is better than having all money in the world.

- … is like
being on a roller-coaster – one minute you’re high and the next minute
you’re very low.
- … is the
strongest emotion you will ever feel.
- … is
painful.
- … is
playing a fool’s game.
- … is
hearts and flowers.

functional exponents as: Our group simply doesn’t agree… or We are afraid we
have to disagree…
Or use the following structure: Group A thinks that “being in love makes
you smile” is romantic, but we think it is realistic.
At the end
of our discussion give your own definition of being in love.
III.
Reading Comprehension.
Pre-reading
T.: Answer my questions, please:
-
Some people say that to know love, you must experience
it. What do you think?
-
Positive types of love add richness and fullness to
life. And what about you?
True love involves total communication and commitment between two
people. It means sharing what one has and what one is when with another person.
True love motivates two people to help each other have the best life possible.
Tender love is happy and satisfying. It is
not only beautiful in itself, but it increases the loveliness of the people
involved. Tender love makes people feel warm, secure and cheerful.
Friendly love grows through the years.
It is neither passionate and consuming, nor hostile and hurting. The people
experiencing it are kept together with feelings of mutual respect and
understanding. Sometimes a true love can be built upon a foundation of friendly
love.
Jealous love is a
possessive love. The jealous lover holds the other person so tightly that the
person is cut off from other people. Jealousy is almost always a mark of
insecurity.
Passionate love is vigorous, insistent
and urgent. It centers on the sexual relationships of men and women. It can
also be selfish, with little concern for the other. By itself this kind of love
is exhausting. Blended with other love forms it can be exhilarating and
fulfilling.
In hostile love the motions of love and
hate are closely related. This tendency to hate those you love involves a
feeling of ambivalence – being attracted to and repelled by someone at the same
time.
Unreturned love is frustrating because
it is unfulfilled love. When you realize your love is not being returned you
may react with feeling of pain, sorrow and hopelessness.
Infatuation is often
mistaken strength and lasting qualities. Definitions of infatuation mention
foolish, extreme attractions that do not last. Infatuation begins quickly and may end quickly as it began.
Physical attraction may be a part of love but it is often the only basis for
infatuation.
Post-Reading
T.: So, what types of love do you know?
Look at the
blackboard and match the following terms with their descriptions.
1) Passionate love
|
a) involves total communication and commitment
between two people;
|
2) Infatuation
|
b)may form the foundation for true love to
build on;
|
3) Hostile love
|
c) possessive love;
|
4) Unreturned love
|
d) is vigorous, insistent and urgent;
|
5) Friendly love
|
e) raises its voice in anger against the loved
one;
|
6) Jealous love
|
f) is frustrating because it is unfulfilled
love;
|
7) True love

Creating your own love poem
T.: Now, dear children, I would like you to become poets. That is why I
have an intention to introduce a new kind of poetry to you. It is called Noun
Poetry and it is easy to compose poems using it. The topic of this activity is
LOVE. You will be able to produce a descriptive poem according to the following
set of instructions:
Instructions:
Line 1: Choose a noun or any thing
you have selected.
Line 2: Describe this noun with two
adjectives joined by the word “and” or “but”.
Line 3: Use a verb form and an adverb
to show this noun in a typical action.
Line 4: Think up a comparison
beginning with the word “as” or “like” to show a special quality this noun has.
Line 5: Use a phrase beginning with
“if only” to express a wish regarding this noun.
A sample poem:
Love
Absolute and
endless.
Blushing
bashfully.
As fragile as
butterfly’s wing.
If only you
loved me…
VI.
Summing Up.
T.: Thanks a lot for your creativity and composing such charming poems.

Warming-up
activity.
T.: You will listen to the song now. Try to guess what we are going to
talk about during the lesson. (The song “My Heart Will Go On” by Selin Dion).
My
Heart Will Go On
Every
night in my dreams
I
see you, I feel you
That
is how I know you go on.
Far
across the distance
And
spaces between us
You
have come to show you go on.
Near,
far, wherever you are
I
believe that the heart does go on
Once
more, you opened the door
And
you’re here in my heart,
And
my heart will go on and on.
Love
can touch us one time
And
last for a lifetime
And
never let go till we’re gone.
Love
was when I loved you,
One
true time to hold on to
In
my life we’ll always go on.
Near,
far, wherever you are
I
believe that the heart does go on
Once
more, you opened the door
And
you’re here in my heart,
And
my heart will go on and on.
You’re
here, there’s nothing I fear
And
I know that my heart will go on
We’ll
stay, forever this way
You
are safe in my heart
And
my heart will go on and on.
T.: So, what is “love”? Can you give a definition of the word? How can
you characterize this feeling?
P1: Love is the most mysterious feeling people have ever cherished.
P2: There is no language able to fully express the real meaning of this
word. Love fills our life with beauty, joy and light.
P3: Love is a magic feeling. It makes people better, stronger and
kinder. People are happy because they love.
P4: Love is one of the best feelings. It comes from the heart and
touches the heart. It is the flame that can’t be tamed.
P5: Love is a very complicated feeling. Sometimes it means sacrifice. It
can’t exist along with hypocrisy, lie and insincerity.
P6: Love is a bright feeling. If you feel the sunshine and warmth from
every side you definitely know that you love and you are loved.
P7: Love is a great feeling. A lot of people fall in love every day,
some at first sight, others gradually.
P8: Love is the strongest emotion you can ever feel. it gives you hope

1.
First of all I want you to define what true love is.
2.
Now try to guess what the story can be about.
TRUE LOVE
Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the
well-known German composer, was far from being handsome. Along with a rather
short stature, he had grotesque hunchback.
One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg
When time came for him to leave, Moses
gathered his courage and climbed the stairs to her room to take one last
opportunity to speak with her. She was a vision of heavenly beauty, but caused
him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at
starting a conversation, Moses shyly asked, “Do you believe marriages are made
in heaven?”
“Yes”, she answered, still looking at
the floor. “And do you?”
“Yes, I do”, he replied. “You see, in
heaven at the birth of each boy, the Lord announces which girl he will marry.
When I was born, my future wife was pointed out to me. Then the Lord added,
‘But your wife will be humpbacked’”.
“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh,
Lord, a humpbacked woman will be a tragedy. Please, Lord, give me the hump and
let her be beautiful’”.
Then Frumtje looked into his eyes and
was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand
and later became his devoted wife.

1.
Is ugly appearance a tragedy for a person? Who suffers
more: males or females? Why?

Reading Comprehension.
THE
CAT THAT CAUSED A WEDDING
Hob:
I went to the wedding of my old friend Tom Bailey and Miss Helen Jones
last week. I enjoyed it very much. It was a good wedding with lots to eat and
drink, and there were some bright lovely people there. Tom is a lucky fellow.
His wife is a very pretty girl, young and cheerful and interesting, and clever
too. Oh, yes, he is a lucky man and it all happened because of a cat.
Jan:
What do you mean? How could a cat cause a wedding?
Hob:
Yes, it sounds funny, but it is true. It happened like this:
Helen lived in the next house to Tom,
and Tom was soon head over heels in love with Helen – and I am not surprised.
He used to look at her over the garden wall; he talked to her one day for a
short time; he walked to the station with her once or twice; and one evening,
one great evening in his life, he went to a Christmas party and danced with
her.
But Tom is not much of a talker (he’s
different from me), and when he was with Helen he seemed to have nothing to
say. He wanted to say such a lot, but the words just dried up and he could
never say anything. Then one day he walked out into the garden and saw Helen on
the other side of the wall looking very unhappy and worried. Tom said, “What is
the matter?” and she pointed to the big tree in her garden. Helen pointed to
the tree, and Tom looked up there. He saw Helen’s cat high up in the tree. It
could not get down and was looking as unhappy as Helen was. Tom went over the
garden wall and climbed up the tree and carried the cat down safely. Helen was
so pleased to get her cat again that she put her arms around Tom’s neck and
gave him a kiss. This was certainly what he liked. He wanted the cat to climb
up the tree every day. So that night he waited until it was dark and then he
climbed up the tree. He carried a hammer and nails and a fish in his hand. He
knew that cats like fish so he nailed the fish to the tree. If the cat went up
the tree, he hoped to get another kiss.
Post-Reading Task
T.: 1.Answer
the following questions:
-
Tom is a lucky fellow, isn’t he? Why?
-
Prove that Tom was in love.
-
Why did Helen look unhappy?
-
Why did Tom want the cat to climb up the tree every
day?
-
What did Tom do for this?
2. Give synonyms
(word or phrase) for each of the following words:
Went to the wedding, a lucky fellow, to live in the next house to, for a
short time, words just dried up, to look very unhappy and worried, to be so
pleased.
3.
Find antonyms in the text for the following words:
Unhappy,
unlucky; divorce, get/ be divorced; to prevent.
4. Agree or disagree:
-
Tom was clever and sharp-witted.
-
Tom loved animals.
-
Helen didn’t know Tom.
-
Tom wanted the cat to climb up the tree every week.
-
So that night Tom waited until I was dark and then he
climbed up the tree and nailed the hay to the tree.

St.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February
14th as a festival of romance and affection. People send greeting
cards called “valentines” to their sweethearts, friends and members of their
families.
Many valentines have romantic poems; others are humorous. But almost all
valentines ask “Be My Valentine”. This may mean be my friend or be my love or
be my companion. Valentines often show a cupid with an arrow. Cupid, also
called Eros, was the ancient Roman god of love.
Valentine’s Day is not a legal holiday;
schools and banks are open as usual. Merchants sell valentines and decorations
for Valentine’s Day parties and dances. All the decorations are bright red, and
the most popular ones are heart shaped.
School children decorate their classrooms
with bright red paper hearts and celebrate the day in their classroom. They
also make valentine cards for their friend and parents.
Stores advertise heavily for this holiday
since it is traditional for sweethearts, spouses, and members of the family to
exchange gifts on Valentine’s Day. Heart shaped boxes of candy, jewellery and
flowers are some of the popular gifts given on this day.
Many newspapers carry advertisements or
messages placed by people in love. Both men and women want to let their
sweethearts know how much they love them. On Valentine’s Day, many radio
stations play romantic music all day long. One very famous song is called “My
Funny Valentine”.
Valentine’s Day is a day to share loving
feelings with friends and family. It has become traditional for many couples to
become engaged on this day. Also, famous couples are remembered. Some of them
are Romeo and Juliet, Caesar and Cleopatra, among others. This is a happy day
because it is specially dedicated to celebrate love affection and friendship.
Background
Valentine’s
Day comes on the feast of two different Christian saints named Valentine. But
the way that Valentine’s Day is celebrated has nothing to do with the lives of
the saints.
This celebration comes from an ancient
Roman festival called “Lupercalia” which took place every February 15th.
This festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan
the god of nature. It was also believed that birds choose their mates on this
date. Valentine’s Day became very popular in the United States

V.
Reading Comprehension.
T.: There are many stories linked to Valentine’s Day. So I’d like you to
read two of them. However, these two stories have been mixed together by
mistake. Now they are in disorder. I would be very thankful to you if you could
separate and rearrange them into two different texts. The first group is
looking for the story called “Cupid and Psyche”.
Cupid
and Psyche
Cupid has always played a significant role in the celebrations of love
and lovers. He is known as mischievous, winged child, whose arrows would
pierce the hearts of his victims making them to fall deeply in love. In
ancient
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
One legend tells the story of Cupid and
the mortal girl, Psyche. Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and
ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. But instead, Cupid fell deeply in love
with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal, she was forbidden to look
at him. Psyche was happy until her sisters convinced her to look at Cupid.
Cupid punished her by departing. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished
with him and Psyche found herself alone in an open field.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

As
she walked and walked to find her love, she came to the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
During her trip, she was given tips on avoiding the dangers of the
kingdom of the dead and warned not to open the box. However, temptation
overcame Psyche and she opened the box. But instead of finding beauty, she
found deadly sleep.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
Cupid found her lifeless on the ground. He
gathered the sleep from her body and put it back in the box. Cupid forgave
her, as did Venus. The gods, moved by Psyche’s love for Cupid made her a
goddess.
|
T.: The second group should put together the parts of the text “My First
Valentine”.
My First
Valentine
February 14 is St. Valentine’s Day. St. Valentine is the saint of
people in love. On that day you can send a Valentine card or a present to a
person with whom you are in love, or to someone you admire. But traditionally
you must never write your name on it. Some newspapers have pages of space
reserved for Valentine’s Day messages on February 14.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
Needless
to say, it is particularly young people who look forward to Valentine’s Day
hoping to receive many cards.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
Valentine’s Day was really important at
school. It didn’t matter who they were from, just how many you received. It
was a custom for each child in the class to send a valentine to another
child. For this purpose, we made our own very cheap cards.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
My first Valentine was unforgettable. It
was a nice homemade card with a red paper rose and a poem inside.
“Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
When I grow up,
I want to marry you”.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|
I was seven and had a crush on a handsome
boy in my class. I hoped it was from him and I excitedly checked the
handwritings of all my classmates. But to my disappointment, I discovered
that it was from a boy whose nickname was “Smelly” because his mother gave
him meat and onion sandwiches for lunch. I confided in my best friend, who
promptly told everybody else, and the boy got teased by everyone. I was a
little bit ashamed and felt sorry for him. Since then I’ve got lots of
Valentine cards and I’ve always tried to keep the author secret.

Procedure:
- Students rearrange the strips of paper into two
different texts respectively.
- Students of each group read their text. The
students of the other group listen to their opponents’ reading
attentively.
- Reading comprehension is done by teacher’s questions.
Teacher’s questions:
-
What do these texts have in common?
-
Did the girl and Psyche feel sorry for what they had
done? Did they change? Did both stories end happily?
-
What do these stories teach us?

MARRIAGE STORY
Many years ago a merchant found himself
in debt to a moneylender, a cruel unpleasant man. The merchant had only one
child, a daughter, whom he loved dearly. One day the moneylender came to the
merchant with an ultimatum – either the merchant should pay his debts, go to
debtors’ prison, or permit the moneylender to marry his daughter.
Realising that both the merchant and his
daughter were horrified at the idea, the moneylender invited them both to walk
with him along a gravel path to discuss the matter. Here he proposed that fate
should decide the issue.
“I shall take two pebbles, one black and
another - white”, he said, bending to pick up two stones. “I shall drop them
both in this bag. And then, if your daughter agrees, she will pick one of the
stones from the bag without looking. If she picks out the white one, I shall
forgive all of your debts, and you and your daughter will never see me again.
However, if she picks out the black stone, your daughter is mine”.
The merchant’s daughter was distraught.
She did not trust the moneylender. She was almost sure that he had put two black
stones in the bag. The situation was desperate. What should she do?
(The “correct” answer is that the
daughter put her hand in the bag, withdrew a stone, and dropped it
“accidentally” on the gravel path. “I’m sorry”, she cried, “but you can tell the
stone I chose by the colour of the one remaining in the bag”).
Post-listening Tasks
- Are the
sentences true (+) or false (-)?
1)
A merchant found himself in debt to a respectable,
pleasant man. (-)
2)
The moneylender’s ultimatum was either pay the debt, go
to debtor’s prison or permit him to marry the merchant’s daughter. (+)
3)
The moneylender invited the merchant and his daughter
to walk with him along a gravel beach. (-)
4)
He proposed to drop 2 black pebbles into the bag. (-)
5)
There were two white pebbles in the bag. (-)
6)
If the daughter
picked out the marked pebble, she would belong to the moneylender. (-)
7)
The young girl was distraught. (+)
8)
She was almost sure that he had put two black stones
in the bag. (+)
9)
She refused to pick out the pebble from the bag. (-)
10)
She picked out a black pebble. (-)
2. Help the
young girl to solve the problem.
Expected
answers:
S1: The girl should resign herself to her
fate. Maybe a moneylender will be a good husband and worship her. She will be
rich and happy. Maybe she will fall in love with him. The point is that the
girl should change her negative attitude to the moneylender.
S2: The girl should fall down and pretend
that she injured her leg and take a white pebble from the path, hide it in her
hand and put her hand with the pebble into the bag.
V. Speaking.
T.: Choose any statement and discuss it:
Statements:
- Society would not exist without marriage.
- Marriage is unnecessary.
- Marriage is important for the children.
- A lot of married people get divorced.
Possible answers:
S1: I’ve chosen statement 1. I agree with
it. A family is a part of society. Every child should be brought up in a full
family. Parents teach children good manners, prepare them for life. Many people
become criminals because they are not raised in a normal family. Such qualities
as generosity, high moral principles/ honesty are cultivated in a family.
Parents set an example for children. Marriage is necessary for providing a
healthy society.
S2: I would like to express my point of
view as for statement 2. I think that marriage is unnecessary. It restricts
your freedom. Family life requires a lot of time. I think young people should
live together for some time without getting married. They will get to know each
other better. If they come to the conclusion that they don’t match, they will
break up without any difficulties. Besides I know many unmarried couples that
live happily because they feel free and aren’t restricted by obligations.
S3: I think marriage is important for
children (statement 3). Children suffer when they don’t have parents or one of
them. For example my friend has never had a father. His father died before his
birth. He often dreams of having a father. He says he would be the happiest
person if his father lived with him. Take another example. If adults come to an
orphanage, unhappy creatures run up to them shouting: “Mother, father! Take me
with you”. A child’s soul becomes hard if he or she doesn’t feel her/ his
parents’ affection.
S4: I agree with statement 4. I haven’t
decided yet if marriage is necessary. I know a lot of married people who got
divorced. Divorce is a troubling event. It especially does a lot of harm to
children. Children can’t make a choice. They love both farther and mother. How
can I be sure that I’ll not get divorced? I don’t think that marriage is
happiness. And it’s not a secret that many people change after marriage. People
have different habits, points of view, characters, which lead to divorce. Thus
marriage is a very important and responsible step. Before getting married you
should think of a famous proverb: “Score twice before you cut once”.
VI.
Reading Comprehension.
A
REGISTRY OFFICE WEDDING
Adrian and Caroline were married
recently. “Our wedding was a pretty typical one, really. Caroline and I met
about three years ago, and we got engaged last summer. We both wanted a
traditional wedding. I suppose it’s expensive. And some people say it’s a waste
of money, but it is a day to remember all your life. Anyway, we wanted to please
our parents, and we both wanted to get married in church. Caroline’s father
hired a white Rolls-Royce to bring her to the church. We wanted top hats,
tails, and champagne – the full treatment. The men rented their morning suits
for the day. Caroline had three bridesmaids – her sister and two of her
cousins, and a page. The page was her nephew. He is only three and he made a
lot of noise during the ceremony. I didn’t feel my best that day because my
stag party went on until 5 o’clock in the morning. I do remember the
photographs, though. We seemed to be waiting around for ages. Although it was a
very sunny Saturday – it was in May – there was a pretty cold wind. The
reception was at the Carton Hotel. It must have cost Caroline’s Dad a packet.
The speeches went on a bit too long, I think … and of course some of them were
a bit vulgar, but I suppose that’s a tradition. It took twenty minutes just to
read out all the telegrams. I’d been very careful, and I’d parked my car round
the corner, but of course they somehow managed to find out where it was. You
should have seen what they’d done to it! It was covered with lipstick, and
they’d tied cans to the bumper. But anyway, they didn’t know where we were
having our honeymoon. We went to Scotland
Post-Reading Task
T.: Correct the statements providing
examples from the text.
I Group
- Caroline’s parents didn’t come to church.
- The men bought expensive morning suits.
II Group
- Caroline’s father parked his car round the
corner.
- Everyone knew where Adrian and Caroline were
having their honeymoon.

LOVE
AND MARRIAGE
Love! It’s a strong feeling between
people. Love may be true, that means total communication between two people.
Tender love makes people feel warm, cheerful. Friendly love involves mutual
respect and understanding. Marriage is often a result of love. Marriage may be
a misalliance, one of convenience, arranged or based on true love. On the day
of wedding young people become a bride and groom. After wedding a young couple
has a honeymoon.
VIII.
Summing-Up
T.: So, as we
see, children, marriage is very important in the life of every person. People
are born to have children and share the joys and sorrows with someone. Marriage
and family are quite important. Thank you for your work at the lesson, you were
very active today, so, your marks are … For the next lesson you should speak on
the following point: “Marriage is
important and necessary in everyone’s life”. Now our lesson is over.
Good-bye, everyone!

HINEMOA
(A New Zealand
Hinemoa was a beautiful daughter of a
native chief who lived near a great lake in New Zealand
Tutanekai’s flute told Hinemoa about his
great love. Night after night Hinemoa went down to the shore to listen to
Tutanekai’s flute and dreamed of meeting him. This made her father still
angrier. He ordered his warriors to take away all canoes from the water so that
his daughter might not go to the island in one of them.
For a time Hinemoa spent her evenings
near the lake always looking towards the island but she never found a canoe
there, which could take her across the water. At last Hinemoa thought of a
plan. She tied six empty gourds together as floats. She hoped that they would
help her to reach the island. The island was very far and even at the daytime
it was very difficult to approach to it. She decided to start at night when
nobody could see her. She waited for the night when the moon would be behind
the clouds and when it grew dark she slipped into the water and began to swim.
It was quiet in the village. Nobody saw her. But how cold and dark the water
was! Something touched her leg and she got terribly frightened, but she swam
and swam. Until she was so tired and weak that she could not swim any longer.
She cried out in the darkness. Then the moon came out from behind the dark
cloud and the girl saw that the island was near. A few minutes later she could
feel the ground under her feet. She rested for a moment then she came to
realize that the water was warm: there was a hot spring nearby. She entered the
warm water and got stronger. Hinemoa found Tutanekai and became his wife. They
lived on the island happily for many years. Hinemoa’s father could not be angry
with his daughter for a long time. Soon he came to the island with many
beautiful gifts for her and Tutanekai. The hot spring, which gave her life and
strength back, has been known as Hinemoa’s bath then.

II. While-Reading Reading
SHMILY
My grandparents were married for over
half a century and played their own special game from the time they had met
each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise
place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house,
and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once
more.
They drew “shmily” with their fingers in
the dew on the windows or in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower,
where it would reappear bath after bath. Once my grandmother even unrolled an
entire roll of toilet paper to leave “shmily” on the very last sheet.
There was no end to the places “shmily”
would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were stuffed inside shoes and left
under pillows. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’
house as the furniture.
It took me a long time before I was able
to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from
believing in true love. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship.
Grandpa and grandma held hands every
chance they could. My grandma whispered me about how cute my grandpa was, how
handsome an old man he had grown to be. Before every meal they bowed heads and
gave thanks: for a wonderful family, good fortune, and each other.
But there was a dark cloud in their
life: my grandmother had breast cancer. This disease had first appeared ten
years earlier. As always, grandpa was with her every step of the way. He
comforted her in their yellow room, painted that colour so she could always be
surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside.
Now the cancer was once again attacking
her body. My grandma grew steadily weaker, until; finally, she could not leave
the house anymore. For a while, grandpa would go to church alone, praying to
God to watch over his wife. Then, one day, what we all dreaded, finally
happened. Grandma was gone. “Shmily”. It was scrawled in yellow on the pink
ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet.
As the crowd thinned, all our family
members gathered around grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up and began to
sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came a nice and tender
lullaby.
I will never forget that moment.
S-H-M-I-L-Y. See How Much I Love You. Thank you, grandpa and grandma, for
letting me see.

Procedure of
the Lesson
I. Greeting.
II. Warming-up activity.
T.: Children, you will listen to the song now. Try to guess what we are
going to talk about during the lesson. (Listening to the song “My Heart Will Go
On” by Selin Dion).
My
Heart Will Go On
Every
night in my dreams
I
see you, I feel you
That
is how I know you go on.
Far
across the distance
and
spaces between us
You
have come to show you go on.
Near,
far, wherever you are
I
believe that the heart does go on
Once
more, you opened the door
And
you’re here in my heart,
And
my heart will go on and on.
Love
can touch us one time
And
last for a lifetime
And
never let go till we’re gone.
Love
was when I loved you,
One
true time to hold on to
In
my life we’ll always go on.
Near,
far, wherever you are
I
believe that the heart does go on
Once
more, you opened the door
And
you’re here in my heart,
And
my heart will go on and on.
You’re
here, there’s nothing I fear
And
I know that my heart will go on
We’ll
stay, forever this way
You
are safe in my heart
and
my heart will go on and on.
T.: Now, tell me, what do you think about when you listen to this song?
So, today at our lesson we shall speak about love and marriage. To your
opinion, what is “love”? Can you give your own definition of love? How can you
characterize this feeling?
P1: Love is the most mysterious feeling people have ever cherished.
P2: There is no language able to fully express the real meaning of this
word. Love fills our life with beauty, joy and light.
P3: Love is a magic feeling. It makes people better, stronger and
kinder.
P4: Love is a bright feeling. If you feel the sunshine and warmth from
every side you definitely know that you love and you are loved.
III. Discussing of proverbs and
quotations about love.
T.: Now look at the blackboard. You see some quotations about love,
about marriage. Let’s discuss them. Explain me how you understand their
meaning.
(Quotations:
1. Where
there is love, there is life. (Mahatma Gandhi).
2. Love does
not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same
direction. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery).
3. The course
of true love never did run smooth. (William Shakespeare).
4. Without
love, the world itself would not survive. (Lope de Vega).
5. The family
is one of nature’s masterpieces. (G. Santayana).
6. Marriage
is the greatest earthy happiness when founded on complete sympathy.
(B. Disraeli).
7. Marriage
is like life in this – that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses.
(R. L.
Stevenson).
IV. Group Work
T.: Now, children! I’d like to discuss with you attitudes to being in
love. How would you complete the sentence “Being in love…?” You will work in
groups with the HO and put definitions 1 to 16 into categories: cynical,
romantic, realistic. Decide which category the definitions of being in love
fall into and write the numbers. Then we’ll discuss your opinions. (Pupils work
in small groups).
BEING IN LOVE…
- … is more like being on a battlefield than in a
bed of roses.
- … is all you need.
- … makes you suffer.
- … makes you lose control.
- … is bad for your health.
- … is only for young people.
- … is better than having all money in the world.
- … means wedding rings.
- … quickly changes to habit
- … is like
being on a roller-coaster – one minute you’re high and the next minute
you’re very low.
- … is the
strongest emotion you will ever feel.
- … is
painful.
- … is
playing a fool’s game.
- … is
hearts and flowers.
- … is the
chocolate sauce on the vanilla ice-cream of life – without it, life is
nice but not delicious.
- …
distracts you from the more important things in life.
CYNICAL
|
ROMANTIC
|
REALISTIC
|
T.: Now let us compare our worksheets. So,
groups, you may agree or disagree with your classmates using such functional
exponents as: Our group simply doesn’t agree… or We are afraid we have to
disagree…Or use the following structure: Group A thinks that “being in love
makes you smile” is romantic, but we think it is realistic.
V. Listening Comprehension
Pre-Listening Tasks
T.: Before listening to the story
“True Love” I want to attract your attention to some words which may appear
unknown to you:
-
hunchback – a person with a
back misshaped by a round lump;
-
merchant – a person who
buys and sells goods;
-
misshapen – badly or wrongly
shaped or formed;
-
humpbacked – having a hump on
your back;
3.
First of all I want you to define what true love is.
4.
Now try to guess what the story can be about.
(Listening to the text “True Love”. The pupils listen
to it with the accompaniment of the “Wedding March” by F. Mendelssohn).
TRUE LOVE
Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the
well-known German composer, was far from being handsome. Along with a rather
short stature, he had grotesque hunchback.
One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg
When time came for him to leave, Moses
gathered his courage and climbed the stairs to her room to take one last
opportunity to speak with her. She was a vision of heavenly beauty, but caused
him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at
starting a conversation, Moses shyly asked, “Do you believe marriages are made
in heaven?”
“Yes”, she answered, still looking at
the floor. “And do you?”
“Yes, I do”, he replied. “You see, in
heaven at the birth of each boy, the Lord announces which girl he will marry.
When I was born, my future wife was pointed out to me. Then the Lord added,
‘But your wife will be humpbacked’”.
“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh,
Lord, a humpbacked woman will be a tragedy. Please, Lord, give me the hump and
let her be beautiful’”.
Then Frumtje looked into his eyes and
was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand
and later became his devoted wife.

Post-listening
Task
T.: Now answer the following questions:
5.
Is ugly appearance a tragedy for a person? Who suffers
more: males or females? Why?
6.
Do love and happiness always come to the beautiful and
handsome?
7.
Was Moses right in acting like that? Why did the young
woman accept his proposal?
8.
Is it easier for a man or woman if they are far from
being handsome to get married? Why?
VI.
Icebreaker (Filling Questionnaires)
T.: And now everyone should ask as many classmates as
possible to complete the questionnaire. Then you should comment on the results.

While-reading
MARRIAGE STORY
Many years ago a merchant found himself
in debt to a moneylender, a cruel unpleasant man. The merchant had only one
child, a daughter, whom he loved dearly. One day the moneylender came to the
merchant with an ultimatum – either the merchant should pay his debts, go to
debtors’ prison, or permit the moneylender to marry his daughter.
Realising that both the merchant and his
daughter were horrified at the idea, the moneylender invited them both to walk
with him along a gravel path to discuss the matter. Here he proposed that fate
should decide the issue.
“I shall take two pebbles, one black and
another - white”, he said, bending to pick up two stones. “I shall drop them
both in this bag. And then, if your daughter agrees, she will pick one of the
stones from the bag without looking. If she picks out the white one, I shall
forgive all of your debts, and you and your daughter will never see me again.
However, if she picks out the black stone, your daughter is mine”.
The merchant’s daughter was distraught.
She did not trust the moneylender. She was almost sure that he had put two
black stones in the bag. The situation was desperate. What should she do?
(The “correct” answer is that the
daughter put her hand in the bag, withdrew a stone, and dropped it
“accidentally” on the gravel path. “I’m sorry”, she cried, “but you can tell
the stone I chose by the colour of the one remaining in the bag”).

Brainstorming. Creating a mind map
T.: So, now, children, let’s create our mind map with the help of the
method “brainstorming”. Please, tell me, what the word “marriage” is associated
with.
(Brainstorming.
Creating a mind map)
IX. Summing-up
T.: To sum up the results of our work
today, I’d like to recite you such a poem:
WHEN
WILL LOVE COME?
Some
find Love late, some find it soon,
Some
with the rose in May,
Some
with the nightingale in June,
And
some when skies are grey;
Love
comes to some with smiling eyes,
And
comes with tears to some;
For
some Love sings, for some Love sighs,
For
some Love’s lips are dumb.
How
will you come to me, fair Love?
Will
you come late or soon?
With
sad or smiling skies above,
By
light of sun or moon?
Will
you be sad, will you be sweet,
Sing,
sigh, Love or be dumb?
Will
it be summer when we meet,
Or
autumn when you come?
(Pakenham
Beatty)
T.: So, children, I wish your love to be sweet and light, to be happy
and returned. I think, our today’s lesson was rather fruitful for everyone.
Thank you very much for such a great job! You will get such marks … Now you
have deep knowledge concerning love and marriage. I believe you will be happy
in your future life. I wish you and your families real true love and harmony
because where there is love, there is life!

Bricked up
love
Once, going around his possessions, the
owner of the Klevan castle, Prince Yuriy Chartoryis’kyi, saw in the village of Dereviane
The Prince’s servants found out that
Oksana was fond of Vasyl, the village lad: they were going to marry in autumn.
It extremely infuriated the landowner and he decided to revenge severely. So,
as if by the way, he wondered why Oksana who loved her groom so deeply could
not hasten the wedding. He wanted to see Oksana happy, he said, and would spare
nothing for her.
And so the newly married couple stepped
onto the wedding rushnyk. The church was overcrowded; the church chorus was
singing, wax candles were twinkling. But all this didn’t make Oksana happy. Her
face was pale, her lips turned blue, and deep sadness was hidden in her eyes.
The maiden’s heart prompted her: the Prince had conceived some evil. After the
wedding when Vasyl and Oksana were leaving the church, the magnate’s hayducks
attacked them suddenly, dragged to the cart, whipped the horses and rushed to
the castle.
In the magnate’s house the musicians
played and cheerful songs sounded. To accompaniment of that music and laughter
of drunken blackguards, the hayducks threw the newly married couple into the
gloomy dungeon and bricked up alive.
Since then people damned the hated castle
of the Chartoryis’ky princes. And when somebody was passing by, they crossed
themselves thrice without fail, whispered a pray and as quickly as possible
passed the fence under which Oksana’s and Vasyl’s hearts smoldered to ashes.

LOVE
AT FIRST SIGHT?
When Clifford met Annie, they found one
thing in common. They both love lists. So together they have written the
ultimate list, a list of rules for their marriage. This prenuptial agreement
itemizes every detail of their lives together. Timothy Laurence met them in Florida
The living room is neat and tidy, with a
dining table already laid for a meal that has yet to be cooked. All the
ingredients for the meal are in the kitchen, prepared, weighed, and waiting in
a line. It is his turn to cook. Annie is chatting over a cup of coffee by the
pristine kitchen bar when her fiancé pours himself a cup and joins her. He
touches her arm. She tenses, looks at him anxiously, and asks, “Oh, sorry. Did
I say something wrong?”
“No. no. I was just showing affection”,
Clifford explains ponderously.
“Oh, I see”, says Annie.
His hand returns to her arm, and this
time she relaxes. It is significant moment, because spontaneity is not at the
heart of this relationship. Love, for Clifford and Annie, means following a
book of rules.
They have become curiously famous since
details of their prenuptial contract were publicised. They wanted a legal contract,
signed and witnessed by lawyers. Their agreement is intended to regulate the
chaotic heart, and smooth the path of true love before the journey of marriage
has begun. They are getting married in six months’ time. “The ceremony will
last twenty minutes. The reception will be held in a restaurant on Miami Beach
So what are some of the other rules that
will lead to married bliss?
-
Once we are married, we will each receive an allowance
of $ 70 per week to cover haircuts, eating out, gifts for friends, and spending
money.
-
We won’t raise our voices at each other. If we get
angry, we will count to 10 and take a deep breath.
-
We will not use tobacco products.
-
We will go to bed and turn out the lights by 11.30
p.m.
-
Family leadership and decision-making will be
Clifford’s responsibility. Annie will make decisions in emergencies and when
Clifford is not available.
-
We will buy unleaded fuel, and we won’t let the fuel
gauge get lower than half a tank.
If any of these rules are broken, a fine
will have to be paid out of personal savings.
Everyone wants to know whether they are
the saviours of modern marriage, or the butchers of romance. “Did we put
anything in the contract about love?” asks
Annie, a little uncertainly. “I think so”, says Clifford. Ah. Yes, they did:
“We will provide unconditional love and fulfill each other’s basic needs”. Oh,
good. So that’s all right then.
Their prenuptial contact is a response to
uncertainty, and a plan for emotional and financial security for the future. At
39, Clifford has been through two divorces and two sons. Annie, 31, was married
briefly and disastrously in her early twenties. As Clifford likes to point put,
the divorce rate for first-time marriage is now 54%. “Nobody plans to fail”, he
says, “but a lot of people fail to plan. I’m going to write a book about our
experience of a fully planned and programmed marriage. I just know that it will
be a bestseller”.
With so much romance in the air, their
relationship deepened, and as the weeks passed, they began to make lists of
increasingly personal concerns. From the start, they agreed that the big
marriage breakers were money, behaviour and children. Nothing is going to make
this marriage go wrong”, says Clifford. “Everything has already been planned”.
“In five years, we will have moved from
our present address, and we will be living in a beach house overlooking the
ocean”.
Annie sees their arrangements slightly
differently. For her, the prenuptial contract was a way of getting to know
Clifford – a kind of courtship, just probing and asking questions. “If we don’t
like and respect each other, this union won’t last”. She liked what she found,
including a mutual fondness for lists.
“I’d made a list of what I wanted in a
man, what I liked, and what was unacceptable. I had prayed to God to find a man
like my father, only 30 years younger”.
She is very keen to have children, but Clifford
admits to “having problems” with the prospect of more kids, more college fees.
Their contract states: “We will not start a family for the first two years of
our marriage”. “So I’ll be pregnant in three years”, Annie says, and then
pauses. “No, sooner than that. I’ll be pregnant in 30 months”.
Such is the wild intensity of passion in
the heart of Florida

How
Romantic are you?
13-18:
You are very romantic and you want to make sure that your loved one gets
special treatment. You could be the world’s most perfect Valentine! You are
sensitive, although you are also a bit predictable and like to give traditional
and expensive gifts that you hope will be remembered for ever.
7-12:
You are certainly quite romantic, but you tend to be
practical and a little bit different in your approach to romance, being more
personal and less traditional. You are not always predictable, and like to
celebrate your relationship in quite unusual ways. You’ll certainly keep
romance alive in your relationship.
1-6:
Oh dear. Either you don’t have any idea about romance
or you don’t have a single romantic bone in your body and are cooler than a
competitor at the Winner X-Games! You are selfish with your emotions and your
cash, and you prefer yourself to be the centre of attention. The only person
you love is yourself!

VIII. A Good Wife or Husband
1.1.
What qualities do you look for in a wife or husband? Here is a list of 21 good
qualities.
Read the list carefully, then write down the number of the qualities
that you find most important, less important and least important in a wife (if
you are a man) or a husband (if you are a woman).
In other words, rearrange the list in the order of importance, starting
out with the quality that you find most important.
2. B) cheerful
|
|
14. B) sexy
|
|
5. B) kind and sweet
|
|
17. B) younger than you
|
|
8. B) modest
|
|
20. B) pretty or handsome
|
|
11. B) charming
|
1.2.
Here is a list of twelve bad qualities you wouldn’t like to have in your wife
or husband.
Rearrange the order of the qualities, now starting out of the quality
that you would most hate to have in your wife or husband going on to the bad
qualities that would bother you less.
Finish with the one that would bother you least.
2. B) talkative
|
8. B) careless
|
5. B) untidy
|
11. B) plain
|
1.3.
Now you’ll have to do sums. See how many “A” qualities you had in the first 7
“good qualities” and the first 4 “bad qualities”. Add, to this, the number of
“B” qualities in the last seven “good qualities” and the four last “bad
qualities”. You get a number.
And now the other way round. Find how
many “B”s there are in the first seven “good” and first four “bad” qualities
and to this add the number of the “A” qualities in the last seven “good” and
last four “bad” qualities. You needn’t count the “C” qualities.
