Middle

The theme of our lesson is “A day at school”.
Step 10 A day at school.
1.Discuss the following text. Compare the day of English pupils with that of our schoolchildren. Speak about the differences.
Hi! My name is Debbie. I want to tell you something about a typical day at my school.
Come and spend a day at an English school. It is nearly 9 on a Monday morning and the boys and girls are coming to school again after Saturday and Sunday. Some of them walk to school, somecome on their bicycles and others who live far from the school come by bus.
It is eleven o'clock: time for the mid-morning break.The boys and girls go out into the play ground to collect their milk: every boy and girl at school in England is given milk every day. When they have drunk milk, they can play until it is time to go back inside for lessons.
After break there are more lessons. Then it is one o' clock. Time for lunch! Nearly all schoolchildren in England have their lunch at school, though some who live very near to their schoo, go home. The break for lunch lasts about an hour. After lunch, there is still time to go out and play.
At two o'clock lessons start again. In this school chindren do not do lessons lide history, geography and maths – the girls learn to type and sew and to cook and the boys do metalwork and woodwork.
At three o'clock it is time for games. At English schools girls usually play hockey in winter and tennis in summer; the boys play football in winter and cricket in summer.
Lessons finish at four. The children collect the books they need to do their homework and go home. Very soon after four o'clock the school is empty, except for a few children and teachers. One or two choldren have to stay behind as a punishment. Others are staying for a club or society which has its meeting after school. The they will go home too and the school will be empty – until tomorrow.
Ex. 2. What do you think of the advantages of school uniform? And disadvantages? ( pupils answer these questions)
Do children wear a school uniform? 
Most schools in England require children to wear a school uniform. 
Boys: long grey or black trousers (shorts may be worn in the summer), white shirt, school tie (optional in most primary schools), jumper or sweater with the school logo on. The colour is the choice of the schools. Black shoes.
Girls: as above. Girls may wear skirts. During the summer term girls often wear summer school dresses.
Why do children wear a uniform?
• When we go on a school trip we all look the same and so can't get lost. 
• It stops kids worrying about what to wear each day. 
• Everyone is equal.
• Parents don't have to shop for expensive and varied wardrobes for their children to keep up with or show-off to other children 
• Wearing a uniform instills a sense of pride and discipline in students 
Why do not children like to wear a uniform? 
• Uniforms deny students their right to personal identity and self-expression. 
Can you think of other reasons for and against wearing a school uniform?
