• Мовленнєва розминка. 

- Do you like winter? Why?

- Some pupils do the task with the cards: to write the holidays. The rest of the schoolchildren read 5 reasons to love winter.

Картки: 

1. As soon as that gentle chill in the air turns into biting cold you know winter has officially arrived! However, the cold weather is a perfect excuse to switch to a winter wardrobe. Personally, I love wrapping up in thick scarves, woolly hats and knitted socks. Plus, a large number of patterned, 'ugly' jumpers appear in the shops ... there is nothing better than a big, cosy jumper!

2. One of the worst things about winter is how it gets cold and dark really early. However, this is the best time to stay indoors where it is warm and cosy. You can relax with a great book or entertaining film, knowing that the frosty weather is safely on the opposite side of the window!

3. Winter food is the best kind of food! Staying inside on a chilly evening calls for hot chocolate and cream, warm apple juice or copious mugs of tea. Mince pies and other seasonal treats appear in the supermarkets, just begging to be served warm with cream. Winter vegetables can be roasted or turned into steaming bowls of healthy soup and winter fruits can be baked into yummy pies. Plus, if the cold weather is forcing you to spend the day indoors, there is plenty of time to bake a fruit cake, assemble a gingerbread house or experiment with the abundance of seasonal recipes that pop up across the internet.

4. It can be not very nice how early in the evenings it becomes dark. However, it is perfect for viewing fireworks. November 5th is Bonfire Night in the UK, meaning all across the country you will see vibrant lights decorating the sky. Also, Christmas lights get switched on in town centres, often with a switching-on ceremony. This is when everyone gathers in the street, often with music, games and food vendors, to witness the lights being turned on, sometimes by a celebrity. The country becomes illuminated with colourful lights, cheering up the dark, winter nights.

5. This is perhaps a pretty obvious one but once winter has arrived you know that Christmas is on its way, bringing with it a collection of delicious food, vibrant decorations, heart-warming films and television specials, festive events and activities, jolly music and time spent with love ones.

• We know many words about weather and seasons. Today we are going to learn some others to describe winter.

• Look at the blackboard, repeat after me and try to guess the meaning.

• Now to learn the words perfectly some of you will do the task on the cards (to match the word and its translation) and others will make up micro dialogues with them.

• Cards:

• Сприймання на слух. 

• Pre-Listening Activity:  To understand the text you have to know some important words. Look at the blackboard and try to understand the words.

• While-Listening Activity: while listening find the answers to these questions

• Why is the weather different in various places?

• What are people in England  doing?

• What is the weather like in Argentina today?

• In which country are people swimming today?

• What is the weather like in Canada today?

• Post-Listening Activity: let’s answer the questions.
