Phonetic Practice:[5 min]

Today we will practice the pronunciation of sounds [w; v]. It`s very important because these sounds are similar to Russian/Ukrainian ones. Very often students pronounce them in a wrong way. Look at the blackboard. There is a tongue-twister. Listen to me and read the sentence one by one:

 

The very wary warrior veered violently where the violets wound very wickedly.

 

 

The Main Part of the Lesson

  

Music plays a big role in many peoples` lives. I am sure that each of us has his/her favorite singer or musician. But, unfortunately, few of us are familiar with classical music. Today we will get to know with a famous classical composer Beethoven.

Grammar Practice[8 min]

 

Now we refresh our knowledge about the Present Perfect Tense in our mind. We already know that we haven’t such Tense in Russian or Ukrainian. And also this tense isn`t frequently used in the colloquial speech. But nevertheless we should know what is it and how to use it just to be well-educated person. Who remember when we use Pr. Perfect? (The students give their ideas). Ok, let`s summarize. We use Present Perfect when:

 

§ Actions that happened at some unknown time in the past

§ Actions that happened in the past, but have an effect in the present

§ With time expressions like for, since, always, already, just, ever, never, sofar, lately, recently.
