- Do you like to sing? Fine! So do I. From the very morning I can't help singing a short funny song. Even now it's still in my mind. I can't get it out of my head. May be if I share it with you I 'II finally manage to get rid of it? It seems to me that this idea is worth of trying. Besides, I personally believe that practically everybody likes to sing. What about you?

- Perfectly! Our new song is about a little boy Willy. Who do you think this Willy is?

- In this song we'll have to pronounce the sound [w] very often. Let's pronounce it all together. Fine! Lena, Peter, Mary... Ann, you mispronounce the sound! Say it once again!

- So we are ready to listen to this funny song. Listen to the song and say what does Willy do...

-Now look at this picture. Here is the song. Let's translate it line by line. Pete...Ann...

-Let's read it all together to practice reading. Read the 1^st line, Egor... Good. Read it all together.

-Now let's listen to it line by line and try to sing after the tape...

- You guessed it, Peter! May be, that's why he is crying. His mom is always telling him, what an exciting place American school is. By the way, Willy's mom's name is Patricia Shannon. Is this name familiar to you?... What is she?... Why does she speaks of an American school with such enthusiasm that it makes Willy cry?...

- And now we are going to discuss a typical day at school in America and find out what is so special about it, that Willy's mom speaks of her work with such enthusiasm.

Ш. Автоматизация Future Continuous.

Резким: T-P1, Р2, Р3

- To go to an American school is an exciting experience. Many students from all over the world choose American schools for not only the abundant research possibilities but also for a great variety of extracurricular activities, that make the students let loose and come together with the heart and freedom of little children. Such activities give students the chance to build better, deeper friendships with their peers that they might not normally have the chance to meet!

- Now let's check the April calendar of events and see what you can expect as an American student.

- But before it let's revise which tense will help us to talk about things which are already planned or decided?..

- Good for you, Ann! What else do we use the Future Continuous Tense for?... (to say that we or smb else will be in the middle of doing smth at a certain time in the future).

- What auxiliary verb helps us? (will be) Does the main verb change its form?

- So, we've revised everything we need to imagine what the students in Patricia's school will be doing in April.

- Here are some expressions to help you...(to play golf, to watch a movie, to explore the castle, to celebrate, to chat, to listen to Blues Bands, to take part in a sing contest, to kick off (нач-ть), to search a college, to pass final exams, to visit an exhibition).

- Tanya, tell us, what event do you like best? What will you be doing during it?...
