The topic of our today’s lesson is “In the world of books” (слайд №1).
Books are our faithful and devoted friends. When we read a book we enrich
our mind with knowledge. This knowledge will help us in different subjects.
People who read many books are very interesting and clever.
A book is one of the great wonders in the world. It develops our mind and
makes us think. Thanks to books, we can talk to people who lived in different
ages and countries. Through reading books we see the way of life and customs
of other civilizations.
What Is A Book?
by Lora Dunetz
A book is pages, pictures, and words;
A book is animals, people, and birds.
A book is stories of queens and kings,
Poems and songs - so many things!
Curled in a corner where I can hide
With a book I can journey far and wide.
Though it's only paper from end to end,
A book is a very special friend.
Look at the plan of our lesson.

Summing up.
Life without books is as a tree without leaves. (слайд 2)
How do you understand this quotation?
P1. I think that life without books is as poor, boring and unhappy as a tree without
leaves.
P2. Reading plays a very important role in the life of people. It educates a person,
helps to form our moral values, brings pleasure and delight. A tree without leaves
is dead, so is our life without books.
I agree with you. Now let’s grow our “book-tree”.
There are different types of books. Tastes differ. People prefer reading different
genres. One can enjoy reading romantic novels but another one thinks it’s boring.
What kind of books do you know?
(biography, autobiography, adventure story, detective story, fairy tale, fantasy,
historical novel, horror story, humorous story, love story, science fiction, poetry, a
dictionary, a reference book, encyclopedia) – (слайд 3)
All people have different reading habits. Some can’t live without reading. Others

4. Have you got many books at home or do you borrow them from the library?

book?

Hello Book!

Hello book!

a prisoner high on a shelf.

And pick me a comic instead?
No way book!
I'm your reader
I open you up.
Set you free.
Listen, I know a secret!
Will you share your secrets with me?
Last week we read the text “The Reader of Books” by Roald Dahl. (слайд 4).
But there wasn’t any information about him in the textbook. Who found any
information?
P1. Roald Dahl is a well-known British writer. He was born in 1916 in Wales.
During World War II Dahl was a pilot. He was wounded and sent to Washington
D.C. to work in the Embassy. In Washington Dahl began writing and published his
first book. Dahl wrote short stories, novels and screenplays. His books have been
translated into different languages. Some of them have been adapted for the screen,
for example “The Gremlins”.He wrote TV series like "Tales of the Unexpected". His
books are mostly fantasy, and full of imagination. They are always a little cruel, but
never without humour. Robert Dahl lived a long life and spent his last years in
England.
I’d like to add some words. Among his works are "Someone Like You", "Sweet
Mystery Of Life", "Kiss Kiss" and "Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories".
Roald Dahl didn't write books only for grown-ups, but also for children, such as
"James and the Giant Peach", "Fantastic Mr. Fox". Roald Dahl is perhaps the most
popular and best-selling children's book author.
Let’s look through the text and revise word combinations.
Заставляла таращить глаза, её речь была превосходной, болтушка, единственная
книга, от корки до корки, представилась библиотекарю, справляться, глотая
книгу за книгой, начала искать что-то ещё, была погружена в чудесные
приключения, чары волшебства, издание содержало, под внимательным
взором, внушительный список, с тех пор, книги переносили её.
You should not only learn new words by heart but use them in your speech. Let’s try
to do it. Your task is to change the underlined part of the sentences.
Use your new vocabulary. (слайд 5)
1. Old Tom is always careful and notices everything that is happening.

We say that books play a great role in our life. But how can people read books?
What is reading for people?
Let’s read the text and answer the following questions choosing the correct variant.
(слайд 6)
We cannot imagine our life without books. They play a very important role in
our life.
Reading is both a pastime and a means of education. It is always very difficult
to advise on what to read. One never knows what will interest other people: fiction,
drama, essays, books on travel, love stories or adventure stories.
Books of reference are not for continuous reading. We only consult them at the
reference library, they are not to be taken away.
Literary works may be in the form of poetry or prose. Novels and short stories
are the most popular works of fiction and are read by millions of people.
Textbooks, scientific articles and some books on history or about the Nature are
read for information. They help us with our lessons and work. We read serious
books which help us understand the life, give us answers to the questions which
worry us, they make us think. These are historical novels, books by the classics,
books about the events that happen in real life.
Many people enjoy so-called “easy reading”. When we have only a few minutes
to spare, or when we are in the train, we like to read light literature – detective
stories, magazines, containing humorous stories, anecdotes and jokes. You may be
interested to know that detective literature first appeared in the USA in the middle
of the last century. Then it became popular in England, France and other countries.
We read some books carefully. Other books we read quickly, skipping them.
Some books are very interesting, others are dull. Some books are so exciting that
we read them at a sitting from cover to cover.
Books can be humorous, adventurous, detective, fantastic, political, scientific.
They can be interesting, thrilling, fascinating, exciting, useful, unusual, original,
true-to-life, well-written, boring, badly-written, unoriginal and uninteresting.
So many people, so many tastes.
