Teacher:

Good morning dear friends. Today we have a lesson in the form of the “Round Table”.  We speak about the education system in Great Britain, America and  Russia. You do some activities, read the text, make up dialogues and discuss different types of schools. There are two American students at our lesson. I think you enjoy communicating with them. Let us begin the discussion.

 There is a proverb “Education brings  a child the world”. How do you understand it?

Pupil 1:

I think education gives us the necessary knowledge about the world. We can learn many new things about different countries, their history and culture.

Teacher:

Thank you. You are right.

II. Речевая зарядка.

III. Активизация употребления в речи учащихся лексики по теме  

      «Школа».

Teacher:

                  Thank you. I see you don’t like going to school sometimes, but you have to.

What are reasons why you go to school? Look at the screen. Please read and give your opinions which the most important factors are and which the less important are.

School…

9. introduces you to different people,
10. helps you to make your own decisions,
11. helps you to understand yourself better,
12. teaches you to be polite.,
13. helps you to get knowledge,
14. prepare for a future profession,
15. teaches you about countries, culture  and the world,
16. teaches you to be honest, clever and educated person.

Учащиеся читают предложения , выбирают наиболее важные причины, но потом делают вывод, что все причины одинаково важны.

Pupil 1: I think the most important reason is that school helps you to get knowledge.

Pupil 2:  As for me, the most important factor is that school introduces you to  

              different people and the less important one is that it prepares for a future

               profession.

Pupil 3:  And I guess all reasons are important.

Teacher:

Thank you .You are right. School helps us to get knowledge and teaches you to be polite, honest and clever person. It introduces you to different people   and you enjoy communicating with each other at school.

                Two pupils describe the education system in Britain, using the text.

                                    Примерный рассказ текста.

1   Children in Britain start school when they are five. They stay at school until they are 16 or older. Children attend nursery school from the age of about 3, but these schools are not compulsory. Compulsory education begins at the age of 5, when children go to primary school. Primary education lasts for six years. Then pupils go to secondary school.

2   They study subjects: English, mathematics, science, geography, history, art, music, physical education and a foreign language. Most secondary schools teach  Spanish, German, Italian and Russian. Pupils take exams at the age of 7, 11 and 14.   After 5 years of  secondary education they take the GCSE examination. Secondary education ends at 16. Some pupils stay at school and other pupils go to colleges. Higher education begins at 18 and lasts 3 or 4 years.

Some parents send their children to private schools. State education is free.

Teacher:

Thank you. You have covered the main content of the text. I think Gera and Nikita have done the task. Let’s check them up.

               well(have made some mistakes, correct them please )

                Now let’s continue our discussion of school education.

I think it’s not difficult to make a description of the education system in our country, using the previous text and answers as a plan. Please tell us about education in Russia . ( 2 pupils describe education system in Russia)

                   Примерный рассказ «Образование в России»

1     Children in our country begin going to school when they are 7 years old. Many children in Russia attend nursery school. Compulsory education in Russia starts at the age of 7, when children go to primary school.  Primary education lasts for 4 years. Then pupils go to secondary school.

E.g. in the 8th Form pupils study many subjects: Russian, Literature, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, English, Computer Science, Physical Education, Art and others.

After 5 years of secondary education pupils take  the General Certificate of Secondary Education examination. Most pupils take examinations in 4 subjects.

 2   Compulsory education ends at 16. Some pupils may stay at secondary school for two years. Other pupils leave secondary school and go to colleges or technical secondary schools.

     Children can receive high education if they graduate from institutes, universities and academies. Higher education begins at 18  and usually lasts for 5 or 6 years.

     There are private schools in Russia. State education is free in our country.

Teacher:  Thank you. You have covered the topic well.

                 I think you are tired a little. Let’s have a short break and do exercises.    

                 Will you stand up, please?

                                       Hands up! Clap, clap!

                                       Hands on the hips! Step, step!

                                       Bend your left,

                                       Bend your right,

                                       Turn yourself around!

                                       Hands up! Hands down!

                                       Hands like this and sit down!

Teacher:

Thank you! Do you think it is difficult to study at school and get knowledge?

Pupil 1:

I think it is. But every day we get to know a lot of useful things about the world.

Teacher:

Oh, I think sometimes you are tired from all of your lessons and home tasks. Let us imagine the Ideal School for pupils and listen to the story about “A Day at the Ideal School”. Please give your opinions : which facilities would you like to have at School and why?

(One of the pupils tells about “A  Day at the Ideal School”)

                                      Примерный  рассказ

Usually I get up at nine o’clock. .We have 3 lessons a day on one subject. The first lesson is English. We read, play games and listen to music. The teacher helps us with our work. Then we go to the computer room and do some tests. We work there till 12.  Then we have lunch in our school’s café. Then we go to the library and do our homework there. Sometimes we go on  excursions.  There is a swimming pool,

a sport centre and tennis  courts at our school. We have no marks in school. Our teacher assesses us with words: “very good, excellent, see me, neat work.”

Pupil 1: I would like to have a swimming pool at school and practice swimming    

             every day.

Pupil 2:  I would like to have a sports centre and go in for sport there.

Pupil 3:  I would like to have a billiard room and play there during breaks. Etc.

American pupil                                                              Russian pupil

В каком классе ты учишься?

А у нас последний класс – 11-й. А чем вы занимаетесь, кроме учебы?

У нас в школе есть только баскетбольная и футбольная команды, а я занимаюсь волейболом. Поэтому я хожу в городской спортивный клуб. А ты?

У нас есть осенние и весенние каникулы, которые длятся неделю. Зимой мы отдыхаем почти две недели, а летом – три месяца.

                                                      I am a senior – I study in the

twelfth form. That is my last

year at school

We have a lot of extracurricular

activities, such as clubs or sport

 teams. Are there any sport teams

 in your school?

I am in a school baseball team.

Different sport competitions are very

popular among schools, especially

during the vacations. How many

breaks in the academic year do you

have?

For three months? How lucky you

are! Our summer break lasts only

six or eight weeks. Last year I didn’t

even have a rest – my parents sent

me to summer school.
