T: Who can tell me what the words “friend” and “friendship” mean?

Look at the screen and read the definitions.

S2: Friendship – relationship between people who are friends (Macmillan Dictionary)

T: Do you agree with these definitions?

We are going to discuss what kind of friends we want to have.

On your desks you have a cluster blank called " Our dream friend ". During the lesson, you can add to the empty squares the characteristics of a person who, in your opinion, can be a good friend.

At the end of the lesson, you will share your ideas and we will create a general cluster.

Summarizing the results of  the lesson.

Рефлексия. Для рефлексии используется история о мудром старце и трёх работниках, которые на один и тот же вопрос мудреца дали три разных ответа. Учащимся предлагается выбрать одну карточку из трёх: коричневую, зелёную или красную, которые соответствовали ответам каждого из трёх путников и выражали оценку урока учащимися.

Listen to a wise story.

One day a wise old man was walking along the road and met three young men who were carrying carts full of heavy stones.

“What were you doing? Why are you so tired?” asked the old man.

The first young man said: “I was carrying those awful stones during the whole day!”

The second man answered: “I was working very hard.”

And the third looked at the old man, smiled and said: “I was taking part in building of a new cathedral.

Now, please, imagine that you are those three mеn.

There are cards of different colours on your desks. If you are the first young man- take a brown card. If you are the second young man- take a green card and you are the third man – take a red card.

I want to say “Thank you!” to everybody for your work and I’m sure, everything we have discussed today, will be very useful and helpful. Remember: THE ONLY UNSINKABLE SHIP IS FRIENDSHIP.

You worked so hard. Our lesson is over.
