Ход урока
I. Сообщение темы и задачей урока.
Teacher (T): Today we are going to talk about the leisure activities of teenagers in Russia and in the USA. We will also talk about the TV viewing habits existing in these two countries.
II. Чтение текста о том, как американские подростки проводят свое свободное время.
T: Now we are going to read a text about three American teenagers and how they spend their free time. While reading try to find answers to the following questions:
1) Name the leisure activities of these teenagers.
2) Why do they work?
3) What do they need money for?
Many American teenagers don't spend their
free time just sitting around doing nothing.
Jared Johnson, 15, of Skowhegan works because he wants to have money to spend when he's not working.
' Обобщающий урок в IX классе. Учебник: Ку-зовлев В.П., Лапа Н.М., Перегудова Э.Ш. и др. Английский язык. 9 класс. 6-е изд. - М.: Просвещение, 2002.
Johnson doesn't just work at one job doing construction in Bangor, he also works on weekends at Hannaford. On top of that he has ice hockey games every Sunday, and lifts weights for football on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.
"Mostly I'm working to save money just to have it in case, "Johnson said." And college is coming up and I need my own vehicle."
When he comes home around 6 p.m. during the week he's pretty tired, but still has enough hours of daylight left to go to the movies with friends or lift weights.
But most days he comes home with just enough time left to sit and relax before eating dinner and going to bed and to do it all again tomorrow.
But Johnson thinks all his hard work will pay off.
"My construction work and just working a lot shows that I'm not afraid of hard work, and I think that will look good on my resume," he said.
Lydia Proulx, 14, from Texas uses her job to try to save money for a car. So she splits her time between hanging out with friends and working eight hours a day at the veterans' home.
Chris Caron, 16, from Skowhegan, USA works four days a week at Burger King, plays in a summer ice hockey league, races cars with the Sports Car Club of America, and plays PlayStation games.
T: Do you work during the school year or during your summer holidays?
Sample answers:
1) No, unfortunately, not. I would like to but most firms don't like to employ children and teenagers.
2) Yes, I worked this summer. I helped our neighbors with their child.
3) Yes, I helped my mother in the shop.
