3. Основная часть  урока

• How do we get information about the weather? Who tells population about the weather every day? How can we predict the weather?

We can find information about weather on the Internet, television, radio. People can get it in the mobile (weather service).

Parents help us to find correct clothes according to the weather.

Some people have barometers or thermometer at homes. They are instruments which indicate what kind of weather we are having.

People watch weather forecast to get information about the weather.

• Today we continue to speak about the weather and get to know more useful and interesting information about how to make a WEATHER FORECAST.
• But first let’s remember the words. I ask you to work in pairs.

Task № 2.  (Presentation)

Task № 3.  (Watching video)

• Before we start watching a weather forecast look at the map. What country is it?

The UK

• What do you know about the weather and climate in the UK?

Rainy, foggy, the same as in SPb…

• The climate in Great Britain is mild. It often changes. It means «умеренный». Do you know why? Where is the UK situated / located?

On British Isles, this country is surrounded by water.

• British people talk about weather all the time because it changes all the time. Time to watch video comes. Today you’ll see the BBC television – the national TV and radio broadcaster in Britain.  We’ve got papers with TRUE and FALSE sentences:

1. British people don’t talk about the weather.
2. Nick, the weather presenter, works for the BBC.
3. Britain’s weather is easy to predict.
4. The weather is usually the same as in all parts of Britain.
5. Modern weather forecasts use a lot of computer graphics.
6. Nick says the weather for the rest of the day will be quite good.
7. A team of people work with the presenter in the studio to produce the weather bulletin (a short radio or TV programme that gives information).

Task № 4.  (Conversation)

• Now I offer you to work in pairs and make the dialogues. You get the beginning, so try to complete the conversations. Time is limited. Be ready to answer in 2 minutes.

Acting out the conversations

• At home I ask you to work in pairs and prepare weather forecast for different countries / cites.  You see a magic box where some papers are. Choose one piece of paper and find the partner. On one paper you read the name of the country and on your partner’s paper you’ll find the name of the capital. Find your partner. Next lesson you’ll have to present the weather forecasts in the country / city you get / which is written on your paper.
