Match the proverb or saying and its meaning.
e.g.
He is a person who works at many trades and never becomes a real specialist in any of them. (Jack of all trades and master of none.)
It is very important to start well when you begin to do something new. The other part of work will not take much time. (Well begun is half done.)
It doesn’t mean that we can make a lot of mistakes, but there may be mistakes in our work. (He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.)
It is difficult to find a good friend. You may lose your friend quickly if you do something wrong. (A friend is easier lost than found.)
Real friends are always ready to help each other. (A friend in need is a friend indeed.)
If people know your friends, they can say what you are like because friends like to do the same things. (A man is known by his friends.)
It is said to children to teach them not to speak till they are asked. (Speak when you are spoken to.)
Speak little but listen well to what others say. (Keep your mouth shut and your ears open.)
You ought not to think that your task is too difficult before you begin doing it. (Do not cross the bridge before you come to it.)
Schoolchildren must have some time for playing after work because games are useful for health. (All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.)
Read the text and choose the title.
Two heads are better than one.
Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow.
Аll is well that ends well.
One afternoon some friends of Susan and Derek’s invited them for a walk in the evening. Susan had bought tickets for the theatre for that evening, but she and Derek agreed to meet their friends before the theatre. They all met early in the evening, went to the park, sat down on a bench, and talked for an hour. When Susan got up, she couldn’t find her handbag. She was very sorry because the theatre tickets had been in the handbag. As Susan and Derek couldn’t go to the theatre, the friends decided to go to a cafe to have supper. Later Susan and Derek went to the nearest police station. They hoped they would know something about the handbag. To their surprise, Susan’s bag was there with everything in it. A child had picked it up in the park and the child’s parents had taken it to the police station.
Proverb: Аll is well that ends well.
For homework, write a situation that illustrates one of the proverbs in this lesson. Write the proverb after the situation.
e.g.
Situation: Yesterday I met my friend Nick. He had a nice bouquet of flowers in his hand. I asked him where he was going. He said that he was going to his girl friend. It was her birthday the day before yesterday. He said, “I understand that I am late with my birthday wishes, but I was very busy yesterday.”
Proverb: Better late than never.
Work in groups. Take turns reading your situation aloud (or telling your situation if you can remember all the details). After a person has told the situation, the others should try to guess what the proverb is.
e.g.
Situation: It is correct that everybody should always try to increase his knowledge. We get knowledge at school, from books, magazines, radio and TV programs, the Internet. Knowledge of history helps us to understand the past, the present, and the future. Knowledge of other subjects will help us in our future. We need knowledge for our future profession.
Proverb: Knowledge is power.
Work in groups and try to guess what the meaning of each proverb is. Write a situation that illustrates one of the proverbs.
Group 1:
Look before you leap.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Group 2:
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
The early bird gets the worm.
Group 3:
Where there's a will, there's a way.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Group 4:
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Haste makes waste.
e.g.
"Look before you leap."

Dear friends! Our lesson is devoted to English proverbs. Proverbs are the wisdom of the people whether they are English, French a Russian.
You know that most of the proverbs in different languages are quite similar: they express the same ideas. Proverbs teach us about life, they explain how to choose friends, that is right and wrong in people's behavior and so on.

От урока к уроку растет запас выученных пословиц и поговорок, которые ученики записывают в специальный словарик. Но чтобы в дальнейшем ученики не забывали выученные пословицы и поговорки, можно устроить специальный «праздник», посвятив им целое занятие. К этому уроку должны подготовиться все: дети повторяют все, что учили, а учителя составляют интересную викторину. Вот какие задания можно предложить детям:
1.Ученикам предлагается из данных слов составить знакомую пословицу или поговорку.
2.Учащиеся отгадывают пословицу по одному названному учителем слову.
3.Учитель показывает один за другим рисунки, иллюстрирующие пословицы. Дети, увидев рисунок, должны произнести ту пословицу, иллюстрацией которой он является. Можно раздать рисунки детям (которые они нарисовали на прежних уроках при работе над каждой пословицей).
4.Учитель начинает произносить одну пословицу, дети хором завершают.
5.Задание, которое называется «Салат из пословиц и поговорок». Учащимся даются вперемежку слова из известных уже пословиц и предлагается объединить их в группы, расположить в правильном порядке и дополнить недостающими словами.
6.Начало одной пословицы соединено с концом другой. Дети должны назвать обе пословицы правильно.
7.Один из учащихся «играет» пословицу, используя мимику, жесты и просит других назвать пословицу, о которой идет речь.
