Practice:
1. Answer the questions below. Explain why the answer is YES or NO (Ex.2, p. 92 by Oksana Karpiuk's textbook).
What about children in your class or
at your school?
Do they study
several hours a day? – Yes, they do. They study several hours a day because they are interested in good grades. / Not
all of them. Somebody is lazy, somebody has another talents.
Do they arrive
at school at 8.30? – No, they don’t. They don’t arrive at school at
8.30 because school starts at 8.
Do they always
get good marks if they study hard? -
Do they think
that tests or exams are stressful? -
Do they worry
about doing well at school? -
Do they have
problems with their parents? -
Do they have
problems with their teachers? -
Do they read
only books that are on the reading list? -
Do they show
great interest in computers? -
Do they sometimes
feel lonely? -
Do they greet
teachers when they meet them? -
2. Read the letters at the pages of ‘Buzz’, a school newspaper (Ex.3, p. 92 - 93 by Oksana Karpiuk's textbook).
1 Most of my
classmates have mobile phones. I myself don’t have one. They bring their phones
to school. They cannot use the phones during class, but they sometimes send and
get messages so they cannot concentrate on the lesson. When the teachers notice
this, they get very upset, they send them to the headmaster, they confiscate
the phone and they give all of us lectures. What a waste of time and energy!
The worst thing is when a phone rings! What do you think?
2 We have a
new boy in our class. He is quiet and okay but some people are horrible to him,
especially this one boy who is really arrogant and full of himself.
The new boy has to defend himself all the time. My dad says bullies can be boys
or girls. They pick on kids who are new or who are different for some reason.
Maybe they are talented and this makes some people jealous! I think all this is
horrible. Can kids solve problems like these themselves or should they tell
their parents and their teachers? What do you think?
3 This is
what I hear at home: “You only enjoy yourself! How can you get into a good
school or get a good job one day if you don’t study hard? Look at your cousin
Robert! He studies all the time and he has all ‘A’s.” I’m sick and tired of hearing it. And I’m
sick and tired of my cousin! In my opinion, parents put too much pressure on
their children to have all ‘A’s at school. The bad thing is that they are only
interested in grades, not in how much their children know or how much they
learn. We study for ourselves and not for our parents! What do you think?
3. Read the
three dialogues and say which letter from ‘Buzz’ the two friends are discussing
in each of them. Then answer the questions (Ex.4, 5, p.
94 by Oksana Karpiuk's textbook).
1
Sarah: I
always leave my mobile phone at home. I think school’s not a place for mobile
phones.
Celia: I
don’t think so. What if we have to call our parents during the break?
Sarah:
We can use the public phone. If we have our mobiles we forget ourselves and
start sending messages.
2
Sarah: I
agree with this. I get good marks at school but it’s because I want it myself,
not because my parents want it.
Celia: I
don’t agree. I believe parents are right to push their children. Kids are lazy.
Sarah:
Speak for yourself!
3
Celia:
In my opinion, this is very serious. This new boy really has a hard time. He
can’t solve this problem by himself. They have to speak to their teacher.
Sarah:
You’re right. I think they also have to speak to this stupid bully.
Celia:
Of course, but I’m not sure he wants to listen
1. In which
dialogues do the two girls agree?
2. In which
do they disagree?
3. Do you
agree more with Celia or with Sarah?
