Ход урока.

I Организационный момент.

Учитель приветствует учеников и сообщает им о задачах

предстоящего урока.

T.: Good morning, everybody!

So, today we are going to talk about what success is. Is it really a

place in the sun or not? I’m really curious how you would define success

in life. So what do you think on this point?

: Can I? So, well, probably success is earning a good salary.

: Well? I think success is having enough time to do what you are

interested in.

: Personally I think success is achieving what you set out to do.

T.: Any other ideas?

: Can I? Well, as far as I see it success is being liked by

everybody and becoming famous.

: May I? Well, to my mind success is being promoted at work.

T.: Who else?

: May I? In my opinion success is getting married and raising

children you love.

Учитель продолжает:

T.: So, as you see so many men so many minds. Well, good,

apparently it’s also essential to mention in our talk what difficulties

people can probably come across on their way to success and possible

advantages they can have while getting to the top. Besides we are going

to discuss what skills and personal qualities people actually need to be

successful. And finally we’ll talk about possible secrets of success.

Учитель продолжает:

T.: I’m absolutely sure you’re dying to share your ideas with us.

But be patient, everything is good in its season. Well, it might be a good

idea to start with recollecting some of the words connected with our

topic.

Well, now, probably it will make sense on the one hand to know a very

interesting story of success of Martine McCutcheon, a British actress,

and on the other hand just to brush up word-building with the words

connected with our topic. Open your books at page 60, ex.1, (Matrix

Upper-Intermediate, S/B).

ходу правильно слова, данные в скобках)

The Secret of My Success

I`ve always loved dressing up and being glamorous. My first

performance (perform) was when I was aged 10 at stage school. Then

when I was a teenager, I spent a few years in a girl band, but we didn`t

get anywhere. I`d always believed that having

ability (able) and a

belief (believe) in yourself would be enough, but it isn`t. You need a

formidable team of people behind you and you also need a lot of money.

Luckily (lucky), I got the chance to audition for a role in a famous soup

opera and since then I`ve been working non-stop.

I think I am

successful (success) for my age because I`ve worked

very hard. I think you need dedication,

confidence (confident) and

ambition (ambitious) to be an actor. You also need to be able to accept

rejection and

criticism (criticize) – and that can be frustrating.

I think the secret to success is being happy in your career. You

spend most of your time working so you should have lots of

enthusiasm

(enthusiastic) for it. I may feel nervous when I go on in front of the

cameras, but each time I see it as a new

achievement (achieve), a new

conquest.

Учитель продолжает:

T.: Good! This time your task will be on the one hand more difficult

but on the other hand really interesting and reasonable to do. Actually I

have some pictures for you. Look at them. You see two completely

different people. It looks like they have little in common. They are really

apples and oranges. Don’t you think so?

Surely everybody would like to be in his shoes looking at this

presentable, successful man. But to succeed, get to the top it’s necessary

to have definite personal qualities and skills. What are they? Look at the

blackboard and complete the sentences with suitable endings:

(On the blackboard)

1) If you are dying to be a success you should be …… (capable,

creative, patient, energetic, flexible, diplomatic, sociable)

2) It’s impossible to get to the top unless you are extremely ……..

(intelligent, hard-working, open-minded, imaginative)

3) Bill Gates is a great success because he is exclusively ……. (hard-

working, ambitious and optimistic)

4) When you want to set up your own business and be your own boss

you should be exceptionally ……… (capable and good at what you

do)

5) It’s ridiculous to reach the heights of the profession without having

……… (a sense of responsibility, a perfect memory, astonishing talent,

definite backgrounds, useful contacts, back-up team, confidence)

Следующий этап урока направлен на развитие устной

речи в монологической форме.

T.: Not bad. Now looking at this completely different people try

briefly to describe each of them. Keep in your mind words we’ve just

mentioned. It’s really desirable to use some of them. Come on!

ученик описывает картинку)

: Can I have a say?

T.: Sure!

: Well, as for the person below it looks like he is unfortunately

homeless without having regular job and home. He really looks

miserable, depressed and exhausted. To my mind he is as poor as a

church mouse and quite possible he often suffers from hunger.

Probably he had a job, but unluckily got into trouble and was broke

and in the end couldn’t cope with this. We can’t say for sure. On the

whole he produces a depressing feeling and I wouldn’t like to be

in his shoes.

T.: Neither would I. Thank you. What about the other person? It

looks like he has nothing to do with the first one. Don’t you agree? So,

any other volunteers?

: May be I’ll try?

T.: OK.

: Well, as a matter of fact a presentable, successful man in the

picture above has definitely reached the heights in his profession and has

a promising career. Actually he looks extremely intelligent, capable,

responsible, energetic, highly ambitious and exclusively hard-working.

Probably he is a workaholic and his own boss. It seems to me the motto

of his life is «Business before pleasure», and he never puts off till

tomorrow what he can do today.

Следующий этап урока направлен на контроль

восприятия иноязычного текста с последующим

выполнением заданий.

T.: Good! Thank you! Well, you’ve just mentioned some personal

qualities that can help to reach success. However there’s another point of

view. Some people believe to become successful it makes sense to talk

about such a phenomenon like «Serendipity». What is this? According

to some dictionaries «serendipity» is a happy coincidence. The fact of

something pleasant happening by chance, a lucky break.

T.: So, another home task was to read an article about serendipity

and incredible life stories that happened to some famous people. I hope

you enjoyed reading it. Now it’s time to use your brains. There are some

exercises to be done according to the article.

(Далее идет статья)

Serendipity

We tend to think that successful people deserve their success. They

probably studied hard at school, they worked hard every day or they

took a lot of risks.

In fact, many successful people simply got a «lucky

break»: something happened that gave them a chance to be successful;

they took the opportunity and the rest, as they say, is history.

Some people just fell into fame. Aretha Franklin, the legendary

Queen of Soul, was singing in her church choir when a record company

executive heard her voice. Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the

Vampire Slayer, was in a restaurant when a TV executive saw her. She

was four.

A week later she had a part in a film. A month later she was

in an advert for Burger King.

Other people were lucky because someone else was unlucky. In

1963 the very famous Italian opera singer Giuseppe di Stefano had a

throat problem while he was singing in the opera La Boheme.

A young,

relatively unknown singer was asked to take over. His name is Luciano

Pavarotti.

Some people are just very lucky. Mel Gibson was born in New

York. In 1968 his dad won a lot of money on a quiz show.

He decided

to move the family to Australia. In Sydney Mel studied drama because

his sister sent off his application form. Then the night before one of his

first auditions, Mel had a fight at a party. And when the unheard-of actor

arrived at the audition, he looked awful – but perfect for the role of Mad

Max. He got the part.

Sometimes lucky breaks lead to a new invention. When that

happens, it`s called serendipity. The discovery of Post-It

notes were

an accident.

In 1970 Spencer Silver was attempting to make a strong type of

glue. He failed. Then four years later, Spencer`s colleague was trying to

mark the songs in a hymn book at his local church.

But the pieces of

paper he used kept falling out. He remembered Spencer`s glue and the

Post-It

was born. Last year 3M sold over $100 million worth of the

notes.

In life, it seems, sometimes you need a little luck. But while you are

waiting, it`s probably safer to keep working hard.

Аудирование

T.: (Учитель продолжает). Well done! We have another point of

view to be a success. Famous boys and girls from a pop band «ABBA»

express their own opinion on this point. Let’s listen to a well-known

song «Money, money, money» and later do some exercises. (p. 63

Sound bites)

On the blackboard

 If I got me a wealthy man - If I got myself a wealthy man

 Have a ball - have a very good time

 Fancy me - find me attractive

 Win a fortune in a game - win a fortune by gambling

(азартные игры)

T.: (после прослушивания песни)

Nice song, isn’t it? Let’s try to answer some of the questions now

(p. 61, Matrix Upper-Intermediate S/B)

1) What kind of life do the singers have?

: Probably they work very hard, but never have enough money

left to enjoy themselves after they have paid their bills.

2) What way of making money have they dreamed of?

: Finding a rich man who is willing to spend his money on them.

They also think of going to Las Vegas or Monaco and winning a fortune

by gambling.

3) Why would the idea probably not work?

: Because he probably wouldn’t find them attractive.

4) Do you agree with the statement: «It’s a rich man’s world»?

: Probably money makes the world go round.

T.: Well, now having heard a lot of different and similar points of

view let’s define pros and cons, disadvantages and advantages of being

successful. Look at the blackboard and pick out and read aloud first pros

and then cons.

On the blackboard:

I think being successful is …………..

 Having big bank accounts;

 Having insecure income;

 Being a bundle of nerves;

 Going on a luxury cruise;

 Making sensible investments;

 The lack of free time;

 Having an easy-going life;

 Feel exhausted/knackered;

 Red tape;

 Increasing savings;

 Stressful life;

 Long hours of work;

 A great responsibility.

T.: Good! So as you see, a way to the top goes through a thorny

path, it can’t be entirely cloudless. Let’s think of what success depends

on. After all said and mentioned here I’d like you to give a more

comprehensive answer, probably supplementing each other.

(Ученики высказываются, дополняя друг друга)

T.: So, to sum it up what in general success is. What makes a

successful person?

(Высказывание одного из учеников)

После высказывания ученика учитель продолжает:

T.: Thank you. Well, to crown it all I’d like to draw your attention

to these nice words. You’re finishing school and it’s needless to say that

everybody needs luck and success. (Идет стих)

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rain fall short upon your fields,

And, until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

H/W:

«God Helps Those Who Help Themselves»

(Write a composition referring to the proverb)

Thanks a lot for your work. You really take the cake today. Your

marks.
