Greeting

• Books closed. Elicit or introduce words to describe what it’s liketo live in the countryside.

• Ask students to open their books at page 30.

• Elicit sentences to describe the photo, e.g. There is a house on the edge of a cliff. It looks dangerous and far away from other people. Ask students if they know of any houses like this in their country.

• Give students a couple of minutes to answer the three questions.

• Students can then compare their answers in pairs before you check answers with the class.

• Tell students that the theme of Unit 3 is the countryside.

Suggested answers

• I think an elderly couple live in this house.

• I think that they live there because it’s their family home.

Their parents and grandparents lived there, too. And their children probably moved to a big city.

• The view from this house is great, but I wouldn’t like to live there. I like living in a flat. It’s near my school and a park.

• Books closed. Put students into small groups.

• Give students a minute to make a list of animals. Items could include farm as well as wild animals.

• Make this competitive by telling students that the group that comes up with the most words wins.

Brainstorming. Students stand in a circle. The teacher has a ball and throws it randomly to the students. When students catch the ball, they are asked a question from last unit.

Pre-reading activities.

Next, the teacher shows the title of the story learners will read during the lesson (Wild animals in Kazakhstan) and asks students what the  story may be about.

Today the wildlife of Kazakhstan includes 158 species of mammals, 458 species of birds, 52 species of reptiles, and 150 species of fish, 19 species of animals. They are included into the International Red Book of rare or endangered animals. In the mountains of the Zailiiski Alatau alone, there are about 50 species of mammals, 141 species of birds and 3 species of fish.

New words from the text.

Students are introduced to the new words from the text. There are pictures and definitions of the words on PPT that the teacher uses for explaining the words.  Also, the teacher needs to make students drill the words for promoting good pronunciation.

Post-reading activities.

• Ex1   Ask students to open their books at page 31.

• Use the pictures to revise the names of animals before students do the matching exercise. Students could also check how many of the words they mentioned in the warm up are shown in the pictures.

• Put students into pairs to do the matching exercise.

• Weaker students can look up the meanings of the words in a dictionary.

• Play the recording tr1.19 for students to listen, check their answers and repeat the phrases.

• Ex2   Read out the items.

• Put students into pairs to find the animals from Exercise 1.

• Check answers.

• You could extend this by putting students into small groups and asking them to write three sentences similar to those in Exercise 2. You could then give those sentences to different groups to try and find the animals.
