Today we have an unusual lesson. What are we going to do? You are right. We are going to travel. We are going to travel from our village to different countries. To know what places we are going to we should do a lot of things: listen, read, write, ask and answer, work in groups, discuss, analyze, compare and, of course, enjoy ourselves. If you are ready, let’s get down to work at once.

Warming up

Teacher: Here you have а short poem. Read and complete the sentences with the names of the countries. First, let’s read the new words under the poem.

Take your pen and go to _________________________

Buy some cheese and go to _______________________

Use these words: France [ fra:ns], Japan [dзə'pæn], Italy[ 'ıtəlı], Greece[gri:s].

New words: bitterly['bıtəlı]- гірко; miss the chance [t a:ns]-втратити шанс
