Look at the screen (Просмотр отрывка видео «Essential Idioms Every English Student Must Learn»−выход в Интернет (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArjJMfUFR2c)

Текст видео: I love idioms and I know you do to. For this reason, I bring you more English idioms than you can shake a stick at, so knock yourself out.

Учитель останавливает просмотр видео.

T: What are idioms?

Продолжение просмотра видео.

Idioms are expressions that are natural to native English speakers. They are very confusing because idioms don`t mean what the word say.

You cannot literally translate English idioms into another language. The origin of many English idioms is a grey area.

T: So, who has guessed what the topic of our lesson is?

P: Probably, idioms.

T: You are right! And this lesson I`m going to give you the green light to understand them. Give the green light is an idiom. Have you guessed its meaning?

P: It may mean to give permission for something.

T: You are absolutely right. Today we are dealing with idioms. So, as you have understood from the video, idioms are…

P1: Sets of words.

P2: Expressions

T: Sets of words or expressions that cannot be literally translated word by word. That`s why they are confusing.

1. Стадия осмысления:

T: You want to understand native speakers and don`t feel blue, upset because idioms have left you browned off. So, let`s start learning them.

Most idioms have a very surprising origin. Look at the screen. (слайд 1)

A frog in the throat

The teacher presents in context.

T: Rachel had a frog in the throat all day yesterday. Her mother called the doctor.

T: Who has guessed the meaning?

T: To have a frog in the throat means to have a sore throat.

The origin of the idiom is very interesting. 'A frog in the throat' is an American phrase that entered the language towards the end of the 19th century. The expression comes directly from the fact that a hoarse person sounds croaky - like a frog.

It is easy to find websites that claim 'a frog in your throat' derives from the belief that in medieval times physicians thought that the secretions of a frog could help heal a sore throat. Holding a live frog in a child's mouth until the frog died was thought, in the 17th century, to be a cure for thrush (a viral infection of the mouth).

1. To be wearing a red dress

2. To become red-faced because you are angry

3. To be in debt
