Ход урока
1. Warming up (2 min)
Hello, everybody! How are you today? What are your ups and downs today?
We continue talking about school and education in general.
What are the most troublesome moments you experience at school?
I agree with you that the answer is Exams! What is your attitude to them?
What do you feel about exams?
It’ not a secret this year you are supposed to take State Exams. To succeed in passing exams we have to study hard during the year, not just the last week before the exams. That’s why at home you were supposed to practice talk.
2. Control of the homework (10 min)
(выборочно опрашиваем 3-4 учащихся по домашнему заданию - монологическое высказывание на тему School Life, остальные тем временем – рассказывают в парах. Критерии оценки устного ответа – по шкале ЕГЭ)
(The teacher comments on the students’ answers)
3. Actualization/Questionnaire/Listening (5 min)
The examinations will be soon and many students must be under tremendous stress. But it is not just the students who are stressed as teachers and parents to face the same situation. Why do people get stressed?
Let’s answer the questionnaire to know if we have a good memory. Listen to my questions and in make note in your exercise books.
|
Can you rely on your memory? 1. I can retell the details of the film that I saw last week . a) Yes b) No 2. I revise for exam during a week in order to pass it. a) Yes b) No 3. I forget my exercise books at home. a) Often b) Seldom c) Never 4. My teachers tell me off because of my inaccuracy. a) Yes b) No 5. Sometimes I forget about my friends’ or relatives’ birthdays. a) Yes b) No 6. While reading a book I prefer to use a bookmark. a) Yes b) No 7. I am able to retell the book that I read 3 years ago. a) Yes b) No 8. It’s rather difficult for me to wake up late. a) Yes b) No The keys to the Questionnaire
Those who have 13-16 points, you have a really reliable memory. In most cases you are rather successful on your exams. You have a good imagination that helps you to memorize a great deal of information. You’ve scored 10-12. Not bad! Usually you memorize the information that is important for you and sometimes you forget about the details. So keep your memory in fit by training it. There are a great number of ways to do it: for example learning foreign languages, memorizing recipes, historical dates and so on. If your results are 8-9 don’t worry. Perhaps one of the reasons you forget everything is that you are tired or under the pressure. You have to organize your day, for example, keeping the dairy and making plans for the following week. Seven to eight hours of sleep is necessary for optimal physical rest and brain functioning. Take up any kinds of sport and you’ll see the results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Try to prove your answer by saying what the speakers told about these exams.
5. Practice using speech patterns (7 min)
a) And what is your opinion about competitive exams? Are they really efficient? Give your opinion using the appropriate expressions.
-In my opinion…
- From my point of view…
- As far as I’m concerned…
b) I see that you don’t agree absolutely with each other. So what expressions are useful in this situation?
Right! There are plenty of them.

(Then the teacher plays the cassette to listen to the right answers. Students try to imitate the pronunciation of the people they heard)
