Lesson plan

• Good morning dear students! How are you today? What date is it today?

What day of the week today? What’s the weather like today?

Okay, if you are ready for the lesson, let it begin. Dear students, answer to my questions.

Do you like short stories or fairy tailes? What fairy tales do you know? What fairy tales do you like?

• Today we will read very interesting short story of Kyrgyz people.

It’s on your book, on page 279. Open your books!

Look at the picture. Do you know this person? What do you know about him?

This person is Aldar Kose. Let’s read the text about him.

• On a very very cold winter day, Aldar Kose was travelling across the steppe. Aldar was very cold. As he walked along, he saw the local bai heading towards him. Immediately, Aldar Kose threw open his coat and took off his hat.

“ Greetings, Aldar Kose! Why, you are burning up. What is the matter?” said the bai.

• “ It is this magic coat,” explained Aldar Kose. “It is too warm. The holes let all of the cold out, and when little cool air does come in, blows right out through the next hole. I am melting from the heat.”

When the bai heard that Aldar Kose had something wondrous that he himself did not have he wanted to get it.

• “ My poor man,” said the bai. “How you suffer! Let me help you.

I will trade my fur coat and hat with you.”

Aldar Kose thought about the bai’s offer, hiding his smile. “Sir, you are generous, but I cannot accept the trade,” he said. “My father gave me this coat.”

Now the bai wanted the coat even more. He said, “Take my coat and

my hat, and my horse.”

Aldar Kose didn’t agree. Then the bai said, “Take my fur coat, my hat, my horse and this bag of gold!”

Well, Aldar Kose gave his old coat and his old horse to the bai. He

put on the fur coat and the hat, took the bag of gold, and got on his

new horse. The bai sat on the old horse and put on a very old coat. The

bai was very pleased with himself. Aldar Kose said, “Aha! I forgot…”

What do you think Aldar Kose told the bai?

Ok, you are right my dear students!

• As Aldar Kose turned to ride away, he paused. “Aha! I forgot the

magic in the coat works only for me. Good-bye!», 😃😃😄
