Hello, students. Nice to see you. How are you today? (Students answer). Very well. And I'm fine, too.

Can you tell me what we have already done for your future journey to Spain? Right, we've chosen means of transport and reserved tickets, we have decided upon which place we'll stay at and booked tickets. But we don't know yet what we'll be doing in Spain during three weeks.

So, your task for today is to make a list of things you'd like to do on holidays. To do this, you'll need some words: they are on the blackboard. Let's revise them. (Students revise their vocabulary).

O'K. Now let's do some exercises in “families”.

Things you can do on holiday. Match the verbs on the left with

the suitable word or words on the right.

1 big a a really good time

2 eat b postcards

3 get c on the beach

4 go d museums

5 go on e sunburnt

6 have f speaking a foreign language

7 hire g in the sea

8 lie h some souvenirs

9 meet I a boat

10 practise j sightseeing

11 send k lots of photographs

12 swim l at local restaurants

13 take m new people

14 visit n an excursion

Ready? Let's check it…Now, please, list all these activities according to your personal preferences.

Fine. Now look at the following sentences. There are six language mistakes in them. Underline the mistakes and correct them.

The Smiths stayed at a camping last summer, because all other kind of holiday accomodations are too expensive for them. Everyday Mrs.Smith had a sunbath, Mr. Smith made a sight-seeing and the children made a travel around the island. One day they made an excursion to a local castle.

Finished? Then let's check it …… O'K. And now let's do some listening. You are going to hear a dialogue between Sue and Terry. Sue is going to Spain and they together discuss things she could do there. While listening, write down all types of activities mentioned in the dialogue. (Student listen to the dialogue and do the task).

Good. Now imagine that your families meet together somewhere. You are to share your ideas about how to spend holidays in Spain. Try to see not only good but also bad sides of each idea. (Students all together discuss how they will spend their holiday). Now come back to your “families”, and make up a list of thing your family would like to do on holidays. Try to explain why you'd like to do this or that thing.

Good afternoon, students. How are you today? (Students answer). And I'm tip-top, too. Thank you. Look through the window, please. What's the weather like today? (Students answer). And do you know what the weather is like in Spain? No? But you have to know it, because today you are to pack your luggage and do other last preparations for your journey. To cope with this task you'll need to revise your vocabulary. So I suggest that we should do some exercises. Have you prepared your cards with exercises? Yes? Then your “families should exchange these cards and do exercises… Ready? Now give the cards back for the “owners” to check them. (“Families” again exchange cards, check the exercises and give marks). Very well. Now let's start packing the luggage. First, each of you should make a list of things he/she would like to take with him/her to Spain. (Each member of a “family” makes his/her own list). Done that? Then pack your luggage commenting on every thing you put in the suitcase: whether it is necessary to take it or not, and why. And don't forget that your luggage shouldn't weigh more than 20 kilos, and should contain only items not prohibited by the Spanish customs. The weight of the most necessary things is on the blackboard. There you can also find a list of things that you can't take with you to Spain. Is everything clear? Then do the task. (“Families” pack their “luggage”.) Finished? Now let's compare the lists of what you've taken with you. (“Families” get together and compare their lists of things). You still have got some time to check whether everything is done for the journey. (“Families” make last preparations). Is everything ready? Excellent. My congratulations to you, because you are almost ready for the journey. The only thing left is to present your projects. You may either shoot a film or roleplay it in class - everything depends on you. The project should contain all the information we've worked with during these classes. The presentation will take place at the next class. If you need any help or advice, you are welcome…

Hello, students. Glad to see you. How are you today? Is everything O'K? (Students answer). The weather is getting better with every coming day, and soon you'll be able to go on a journey to Spain. Today you are to present your project, aren't you? We've got a video-project and two roleplays. I suggest that first we should see the roleplays and then watch the video. Agreed? (Note: There were 5 or 6 students participating in each project, because every “family” needed the help of a ticket clerk, a travel agent, etc. So each group made their own project and helped another group with theirs.) Then who wants to be the first? You, girls? O'K. I give you some time to make all the preparations. If you need any help, tell me. And those who don't participate in the project, will evaluate it. One person will evaluate their grammar, the second - their vocabulary, and the third - their creativity. Take a sheet of paper and be ready to make notes. Is everyone ready? Then let's start . (Students present their projects. Those who don't participate, evaluate them. After each project students together with the teacher discuss their mistakes and get their marks according to all the point in the table (см. Приложение 3).

Thank you very much for your work. It was a pleasure for me to watch and listen to your projects. Was this kind of activity interesting for you? Can you tell me your impressions of the project? (Student answer). Thank you very much again. It was great. But, as we still have got some time, I suggest that you should make interviews. Let's work in pairs. Will you form the pairs yourselves, or shall I do that? (Students form the pairs). O'K. One person will be an interviewer, and the other-an interviewee. Look at the cards: your roles are described there. Then make an interview.

Student A

You are a reporter from a TV Channel. You are to make an interview with a person who is going to Spain. Ask him/her what means of transport he/she prefers and why, why he/she'd like to go to Spain , where he/she is planning to stay and why, what he/she would like to do there and what things has he/she has taken with him/her.

Student B

You are going to Spain. You meet a reporter from a TV Channel. You are to answer his/her questions: what means of transport you prefer and why , why you'd like to go to Spain, where you are planning to stay and why , what you'd like to do there and what things you've taken with you.

Finished? Very well. Now that the class is coming to its end, I'd like to thank you all for your hard work and to say that I'm looking forward to seeing your new projects. I hope that they'll be as interesting as today's ones. Thank you very much.
