“Nothing succeeds like success”







1. Look at these photos, say what these people have in common and brainstorm your ideas about the main problem of our discussion today.

- All these people have become successful in life. The main problem is success in life.

2. Today we’ll continue speaking about success. Now work in pairs and make a list of three people that you think have been successful in different ways. Share your ideas with other students.

3. The quotation of our lesson is “Nothing succeeds like success”. It is a proverb. What do you think the quotation of the lesson mean? (Применяется метод карусели)

4. Success is a great feeling. There is a very good Chinese proverb “There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same”. Success is meant as “the top of the mountain”.

- Is it difficult or easy to get to the top?

-Which paths do you think are the most important for achieving success in life? (Применяется метод объединения в ротационные тройки)

5. Listening. You will hear a famous British actress Emily Watson Talking about her path to success. Look at her photo and guess.

7. And now I want you to generalize your ideas of reporting speech and reporting words.

Группы получают карточки содержащие предложения в прямой речи. Задача групп преобразовать предложения из прямой речи в косвенную. Используется приём «Синтез мыслей».

1. A psychologist said: “Please, don’t cross your arms because it’s a telltale signal of your lack of self-confidence.”

2. A student said: “I can’t radiate the sense of confidence”.

3. A student said: “I easily fake being defensive”.

4. Leaving the room he said: “If you want to be perceived as a confident person, never give a loud, hollow laugh”.

5. A teacher said: “I still think you are not ready today. Your eyes downcast give you away”.

6. Tim sat tucking his hands between crossed legs and repeated: “It wasn’t me who broke the window”.

7. A student said: “I will always watch my gestures because I want to cover up my nervousness”.

8. He looked the teacher in the eye and said: “I’m not ready today”.

8. Match the Russian and English proverbs.

-Actions speak louder than words. – Факты – вещь упрямая.

- Facts are stubborn things. – Деньги к деньгам идут.

-Money begets money. – Мерзость и деньги всегда вместе идут.

-Muck and money go together. – Поступки говорят громче, чем слова.

9. Используется «Мозговой штурм». Перед группами учитель ставит вопрос, требующий решения «Can everyone try a sweet smell of success?» и предлагает выработать рекомендации для учеников старших классов. В своей аргументации необходимо использовать названные выше поговорки.
