Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 2 Look, listen and repeat.

Objectives: to introduce new vocabulary (sheep, cow, chick, horse, goat, rooster) and the structure “I’ve got X”;

to practise the pronunciation of the sound []

Ask the pupils to look at the picture and say that these children do not live in the city. Therefore, they have domestic animals. Next, ask the pupils to look at the picture of the boy and listen to how he talks about his animals. He says: ‘I’ve got a horse. It’s brown’.

Ask the pupils to tell you what they have understood and help them: “The boy said ‘I’ve got’, so he said that he has something. What do you think about what he spoke?” Listen to the answers of the pupils and praise them for their shrewdness, and go on helping: “That is right, he said ‘brown’. So he is talking about a horse”. Then ask the pupils to repeat the word “horse” in chorus and individually. After that hang the picture of the horse on the blackboard.

Next, suggest the pupils listen to the girl. She says: ‘I’ve got a sheep. It’s black’. Ask the pupils again about what the girl spoke, and probably get answer right now. This is a sheep, besides it is black. Then work on the pronunciation of the word “sheep”, especially the sound []. After that hang the picture of the sheep on the blackboard.

Next the boy speaks about the goat. He says: ‘I’ve got a goat. It’s grey’. Work on the pronunciation of the word and hang the picture on the blackboard.

When it is the girl’s turn, ask the pupils to listen carefully what she says. She says: ‘I’ve got a cow. It’s black and white’.

Praise the children who noticed the two colours of the cow. Say that there is one more very small word which is very important. This word is “and”. Explain that it is the conjunction “va / и” in Uzbek/Russian. Explain that it is impossible to say the colour of the cow with one word; therefore, it is needed there between the two colours. So, it is necessary to remember the conjunction “and”. After that, practise its pronunciation with the word “cow”.

Further, the girl again says: ‘I’ve got a chick. It’s yellow”. Practise the word with the pupils and hang its picture on the blackboard.

Then it is the boy’s turn and he says: ‘I’ve got a rooster. It’s blue, purple, orange, green and red’.

After all those, practise all the words in the pictures in chorus and individually.
