Приветствие.

Glad to see you, students!

I’m fine today, how are you?

Сообщение темы и задач урока.

Today we are going to discuss the importance of choosing one’s road in the life and speaking about some of your rights and duties. There are hundreds of trades and professions. What are advantages and disadvantages of some of them?  These are the things we are going to concentrate on.  

II. Фонетическая и лексическая зарядка

 Let’s state our lesson with our conversational warming up on the topic “My future profession.

Warm-up

Do you know what we call a person who looks after an office or a block of flats? (caretaker, janitor). Now, we are going to play a game to see how attentive you are. Break into teams: Team A (the 1st row). Team B (the 2nd one). While listening to the story “In the Hospital”, Team A must stand up on hearing the word “doctor”. Team B must stand up when they hear the word

 “business”  

In the Hospital

It … (1) in a big hospital.

One man … (2) to see a doctor for an annual check-up. He … (3) into the waiting room of the hospital, but there …(4) no one in . He …(5) for a couple of minutes and since the doctor never …(6)him in, he …(7) to enter his examination room himself. This room …(8) also empty. Suddenly a young man …(9) in the door, he …(10) a white frock and a white doctor’s cap.

“Hello”, …(11) the man.

“Hello”, …(12) the young one.

“May I stay in here?”

“Sure, …(13) the young man, this hospital is for everybody”.

“O.K. then. I’d like to talk about my headaches”.

“I’m sorry, headaches are not my business”.

“Ah, all right, then what would you advise me if I don’t hear well?”

“I’m awfully sorry, ears are not my business”.

“O.K. In this case, give a prescription for these pills!”

“I’m sorry, pills are not my area in the hospital”.

“Goodness, then what is YOURS?”

“You see, I’m a janitor”.

-Put all these words into the gaps.

(Said, happened, answered, came, wanted, said, was, decided, came, waited, asked, was wore)

Key:1) happened, 2) wanted, 3) came, 4) was, 5) waited, 6) asked, 7) decided, 8)was, 9) came, 10) wore, 11) said, 12) answered, 13) said.

III. Ознакомление с лексическим материалом

When you were younger you used to sing a song “When I was a sailor, a sailor, a sailor. When I was a sailor, a sailor was I”.

You showed what you did when you were a sailor. The song was rather long because you substituted the word sailor to teacher, builder, soldier and so on. This was perhaps your first acquaintance with the list of professions. Today we are going to add quite a few words to the list.

Now repeat the words after me.

Jobs

Put each word under the correct picture.

Say which of the professions in the list are popular nowadays. What do you think is the reason of their popularity?

Discuss some advantages and disadvantages of certain professions. Which of the jobs wouldn’t you like to do? Say why not

 VI. Развитие навыков чтения

 And now let’s pass over to the reading of the text “My profession”. But before reading I’ll give some pupils a few words and word-combinations from the text.

They must create sentences or situations using the text.

Opportunity- возможность

Choice- выбор

To spend- проводить

To learn- учить

School- leaver- выпускник

Relationship- отношение

Lawyer- юрист

My profession.

Most young people have many opportunities open to them when they leave school. Here are some of them. They can leave school at sixteen and take a low-paid job, often a manual one, such as working in a shop or a factory. They can leave school at sixteen, take a job but spend one day a week at a college of Further Education learning more about the theory and practice of their work.

There is also another choice for a school leaver. He can go to any college or university. If he goes to a Technical College, he can get a qualification in a practical skill such as engineering, art and design, secretarial work, business studies or child care. He can go to a College of Education and train to be a teacher. He can go to a Medical School or hospital and learn to become a doctor. These training courses take from two to seven years. If a student has very good results on finishing school he can go to a university and get a degree in a subject like languages, Math, Philosophy, Literature, Law and Science. This normally takes five years.

I am going to apply to the Rostov State University and get a degree in law. I believe that the profession of a lawyer is one of the most important nowadays. Lawyers have to solve a lot of problems that still exist in our society. Like it or not. Law controls our life, both to protect us and to protect others. It is very important to know the law regulating relationships of the people or state. So, the great duty of lawyers is to do their beat to help citizens become more effective through a better understanding of the law and society, to protect human rights and legal interests of citizens, institutions and the state.

After graduating from the university I can work as a lawyer.

I personally decided to train to be a solicitor. I’ll find to take a five-year course of studies. After that I’ll be able to work hard especially at the beginning of my law career but this job promises good promotion and personal development prospects and good pay.

VII. Развитие навыков аудирования.

Now, lets run our tape-recording. A bit of advice to you, students. You must remember, that a tape-recorder always  helps to create a natural language.

 Listen and write down the verbs from the text.

Film-star.

Rosy loved the cinema and wanted to become a film-star. When she was twelve she said to her parents, “I want to be a film-star.”

But it was not easy. After she left school, she got into films – not as a star – she became one of the people in a crowd scene.

One evening the man at the agency called her and said, “There is a job for you tomorrow, Rosy. Come at eight o’clock. You’ll be a secretary”.

Rosy reached the studios at a quarter to eight. She waited three hours before they came to her scene.

The scene was very short: the star, a famous American actor, came and stopped in front of where Rosy was sitting.

“I want you to look at Harry when he comes in, explained the director, and say, “Mr. Marlow, there is a call for you!” Can you say that?”

Rosy said she could and did everything the director told her to do.

The director was very pleased, and the star smiled at her.

“That’s great”, said the director. “ Thanks”.

Rosy was very happy that evening.

Some months later she booked two seats for the premiere and went to see her film with Michael, her boy- friend.

It was a good film but there was no Rosy in it. Her scene together with many other unimportant scenes had been cut out.
