2) Целеполагание

Our today’s lesson is devoted to discussing our future life and visions of the future fifty years from now. We’ll find out what collocations are and how many types do they have. Also we’ll start to watch fiction film «The Day After Tomorrow». So we have a lot to do. Let’s start.

II. Актуализация опорных знаний

1) Речевая зарядка

Write SCIENCE FICTION on the board.

Elicit the names of some science fiction films and write them on the board.

Robocop

Independence Day Gattaca

Star Trek Men in Black

The Fifth Element

All right! Now you are to answer the following questions:

— What aspects of life in the future do these films show? (journeys into space and time, aliens, technological progress, robots, different climates, etc.)

— Will life in the future really be like this?

Discuss them in pairs, please.

2) Проверка домашнего задания

Ok! Let’s check your home task. You were to do in a written form exercises 1 and 2 (5.3) on page 115 (SB). So don’t forget to hand in them for checking at the end of the lesson.

Also, you were to read the text «Fifty Years On» and do exercise 1 on page 44 in your WB and exercises 2 and 3 on page 49 in your SB. Am I right?

But first of all let’s focus on the pictures on page 48 which show visions of the future fifty years from now and try to describe them. Who can?

So, let’s read it again and then answer the question:

— Which one do you think is the most likely to come true?

Don’t forget to give the reasons for your choice.

Now we’ll check exercise 1 on page 44 in your WB. You were to match the sentence beginnings with the endings.

Key:

1. c 2. f 3. a 4. e 5. g6. b 7. d

And the last exercise that you have done at home is exercise 3 on page 49 (SB). You were also to match opinions with expert 1−6. There was one opinion that you do not need.

Let’s check. During checking, ask what these words mean, their definitions:

lifespan — how long a person lives

limbs — arms or legs

to melt — to make or become liquefied by heating

to prevent — to keep (something) from happening

Key: a-3b-6c —d-2e-1f-4g-5

III. Основная часть

1) Работа с текстом

We are going to continue our discussing this text and do exercise 4 on this page. You are to match the verbs and nouns to make phrases from the texts. Work individually, please.

Pay your attention to the next word combination: to suffer from illnesses, not just to suffer illnesses.

Key: 1. e2. g3. a4. f5. c6. b7. d

The next you task is to complete the sentences with phrases from exercise 4. It is exercise 5 on page 49 (SB). You can compare your answers with a partner.

Key:

1. replace damaged parts

2. treat illnesses

3. provide information

4. make important discoveries

5. reduce carbon emissions

6. suffer a catastrophe

7. start a colony

In your opinion, which expert’s prediction is (write predictions on the board):

1. the most optimistic?

2. the most pessimistic?

3. the most interesting?

4. the most likely to come true?

Give your reasons. Also, you can highlight parts of the text and make notes to back up your opinions.

2) Объяснение нового материала

All right! Now we’ll talk about the collocations. Follow me, and make notes.

So, what is a collocation? Who knows?

A collocation is made up of two or more words that are commonly used together in English.

There are several different types of collocation. Collocations can be adjective + adverb, noun + noun, verb + noun and so on. There are seven main types of collocation in sample sentences.

1. adverb + adjective

Invading that country was an utterly stupid thing to do.

We entered a richly decorated room.

Are you fully aware of the implications of your action?

2. adjective + noun

The doctor ordered him to take regular exercise.

The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage.

He was writhing on the ground in excruciating pain.

3. noun + noun

Let’s give Mr Jones a round of applause.

The ceasefire agreement came into effect at 11am.

I’d like to buy two bars of soap please.

4. noun + verb

The lion started to roar when it heard the dog barking.

Snow was falling as our plane took off.

The bomb went off when he started the car engine.

5. verb + noun

The prisoner was hanged for committing murder.

I always try to do my homework in the morning, after making my bed.

He has been asked to give a presentation about his work.

6. verb + expression with preposition

We had to return home because we had run out of money.

At first her eyes filled with horror, and then she burst into tears.

Their behaviour was enough to drive anybody to crime.

7. verb + adverb

She placed her keys gently on the table and sat down.

Mary whispered softly in John’s ear.

I vaguely remember that it was growing dark when we left.

When is a collocation NOT a collocation?

The term «collocation» in its linguistic sense is relatively new (dating from the 1950s) and not all linguists agree on its definition. In fact there is considerable disagreement and even some confusion. Some linguists treat fixed phrases as extended collocations (as far as I’m concerned, not on your life, rather you than me, under the weather, if you’ve got the time). Others suggest that when a sequence of words is 100% predictable, and allows absolutely no change except possibly in tense, it is not helpful to treat it as a collocation. Such sequences they generally treat as fixed expressions («prim and proper») or idioms («kick the bucket»).

* see appendix 1: collocation list

3) Закрепление нового материала на практике

So let’s practice. Open your SB on page 133, 5.3. verb+noun collocations exercise 1. You are to choose the correct words to make sentences about ideas that would help the environment. Do it in pairs, please.

4) Развитие умений и навыков устной речи

We should develop your communication skills, so let’s practice your speaking abilities and do the next exercises.

Exercise 7 on page 49 (SB)

Work in pairs. Make three predictions about the world in fifty years' time. Use the ideas in the box to help you.

Make notes, please in your copybooks.

Exercise 8 on page 49 (SB)

Tell the class your predictions. Let’s do it one by one. Do you agree or disagree? Also, let’s decide if they are optimistic, pessimistic or likely.

What was the most interesting prediction today?

5) Развитие навыков аудирования

All right! Now we are going to watch a movie about what can happen to our planet in the future. «The Day After Tomorrow» is a 2004 American science-fiction disaster film depicting catastrophic effects of global warming in a series of extreme weather events that usher in global cooling and leads to a new ice age. A climatologist tries to figure out a way to save the world from abrupt global warming. He must get to his young son in New York, which is being taken over by a new ice age.

I’d like you to watch it very attentive, make a plan on which you’ll base during your retelling of it. We’ll watch not the whole movie, because we have not enough time for this, that’s why you have to watch it till the end at home and do the tasks on the copies (* see appendix 2).

IV. Заключительная часть
