Ход урока.
I.Определение темы.(3 минуты).Good morning! I`m very glad to meet you again. Ready to work? Let`s begin. Look at the screen. The theme of our lesson is “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. This is a proverb. Can you give Russian equivalent of this proverb? (Учащиесяговорятпословицы).That`s right. Clever of you. There are some other proverbs that express the same idea. Read them. (Слайд3).
II.Постановказадачурока. (2минуты). How do you think what we are going to do during the lesson?Ученикивысказываютпредположения. Yes, you are right. We`ll listen and read the texts, speak about the ways of behaviour in different countries, do the test.
III. Развитие навыков чтения. (10 минут).Now let`s read the text “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. But first of all we`ll pronounce the unknown words from the text. Read after me. (Учащиесяпроговариваютнезнакомыеслова). Begin reading the text.
WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO.
How much do you know about different cultures around the world? What would be wise to bear in mind while you are traveling around this or that country? Body gestures have different meanings depending on the country in which they are expressed.
Austria.
1. While dining, keep your hands on the table. It is rude to put your hands on
your lap during dining.
2. To wish someone good luck, make two fists (with your thumbs tucked inside the fists), and gesture as if you are slightly pounding on a table.
3. To specify number “one”, use your upright thumb.
Belgium.
1. To point with your index finger is considered impolite.
2. When you are talking to someone, do not keep your hand or hands in your pockets. This is considered rude.
3. To slap someone on the back or to be noisy are both very rude gestures in Belgium.
4. To yawn, blow your nose, sneeze or scratch yourself in the presence of others is considered poor manners.
Germany.
1.It is impolite to shake someone`s hand with your other hand in your pocket. Parents often scold children for putting their hands in their pockets because it is a sign of disrespect.
2.If you are talking with someone, do not chew gum. This is considered very rude. To do so would remind a German person of “a cow chewing its cud”.
England (United Kingdom).
1 .Loud talking and other forms of noisy behaviour should always be avoided.
2. Try not to stare at anyone in public. Privacy is highly valued in the United Kingdom.
3. You wait in line in the United States, and you “queue up” in the United Kingdom. You should never “jump the queue” (проходитьбезочереди).
4. When drinking in a pub, pick up your change after you pay for your drink. If you leave it there, you are implying that you are leaving a tip. Tipping is not widespread in British pubs.
5. Don`t stand too close to people you are talking to. “Keep your distance”.
Turkey.
1.It is extremely offensive to show the sole of your shoe to someone, or use your shoe to point at someone or something. This is due to the fact that shoe soles are the lowest part of the body and are usually dirty.
2. You should neither smoke nor eat or drink alcohol while on a street.
Some Tips for Travellers.
1. In Japan you should avoid eye contact.
2.In Spain, women should be careful about making eye contact with strangers, as it might signal interest of a romantic nature.
3.In France, you shouldn`t sit down in a cafe until you`ve shaken hands with everyone you know.
4. In Pakistan, you mustn`t wink. It is offensive.
5. In Korea, you mustn`t blow your nose in public.
6. In Finland, you shouldn`t begin to eat before your host does.
7.In the Middle East, you shouldn`t take pictures of women in black headscarves.
8.In Afghanistan, you should spend at least five minutes saying hello.
Now look at the pictures and find the sentences which these pictures illustrate. (Слайды4-9).
Find the sentences with the words I name and develop the idea.
A) Pockets, b) chew gum, c) tipping.(Учащиеся выполняют задания).Youarequiteright.Thank you.
IV.Развитиенавыковаудирования. (7минут). Listen to the text and choose the right answer. Show me the cards with your answers. Let`s see the key. (Слайды10-12).
Текстыдляаудирования.
A) The French like conversing. When you are speaking to French people, do not be surprised if they keep interrupting you and even raise their voices; it`s quite normal. French people shake hands much more than Americans or most Europeans. If you fail to shake hands, you may be considered rude. You shouldn`t sit down in a café until you`ve shaken hands with everyone you know. A woman in France will offer her hand first.
B) I like how Americans raise their children. They raise them to be independent. It is a part of American culture. Small children learn to do things on their own. They learn to take care of themselves, clean their rooms, help with the dishes and laundry. Most teenagers try to find summer or after-school jobs, so that they can have their own money. Students usually work part-time. They may also work during summer vacation.
C) Of course, punctuality is a necessary habit in the life of civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion. But how do different nationalities understand it? Imagine you have arranged a birthday party. What time should you expect your foreign guests to arrive? If they are German, they`ll be right on time. If they are British, they`ll be 10 or 15 minutes late. This enables the hosts to finish their preparations. Italians may be late to the party about an hour.
V.Релаксация.(3минуты). Now let`s have a rest and do some exercises for relaxation.
VI.Работа в группах. (10 минут).Well, let`s continue our work. Form the groups.

3. My preferences are the British Museum and the National Gallery. Besides Westminster Abbey is also an attraction not to be missed.
4. You leave Moscow on the 5th of June.
5. 80 thousand roubles for adult.
6. Well, loud talking and other forms of noisy behavior should always be avoided.
7. Yes, you should never “jump the queue”. And remember tipping is not widespread in British pubs.

Задание2. . Read about the superstitions and say which of them are typical of both Russia and Britain. What is good luck in Britain but a bad one in Russia?
Superstitions in Russia.
1. If you feel that something bad may happen, knock three (or more) times on a piece of wood to prevent it occurring; this goes back to times when people believed that powerful spirits inhabited the wood.
2. Do not whistle indoors: it will blow your money away.
3. Never shake hands over threshold (порог) – it will lead to a quarrel. It is better to invite someone into your room or flat before you shake hands.
4. If you are going on a long journey, sit down for a few moments before you leave, and your trip will be lucky.
5. Don`t spill salt. It is bad luck.
Superstitions in Britain.

Lucky to find a clover plant with four leaves.
A horseshoe over the door brings good luck.

Catch falling leaves in autumn and you`ll have good luck. Every leaf means a lucky month next year.

2.Unlucky to spill salt. If you do, you must throw it over your shoulder.
3.Unlucky to open an umbrella in doors.

Задание4. Read the letter. What advice does the girl give her friend?
106 Sussex Gardens
London W2 1UH
26 July
Dear Julia,
Many thanks for your letter, and I`m glad to hear you are coming to England soon. It will certainly be good for you. In this letter I`ll give you a few tips to avoid making the mistakes I made.
Now, you`ll be coming to brush up your English, so you`ll want to make as much conversation as possible. Don`t believe all the stories you hear about how unfriendly the English are. In trains or cafes they will talk to you, but you must “break the ice” first. You may speak about the weather, their dogs, food. But don`t criticize their private life. Don`t ask them how much money they earn. This would be considered extremely rude in Britain. It is also not polite to ask about their age or how much they weigh. Avoid religious questions too. People in Britain are generally quite careful about time. Try to be punctual too.
Now, Julia, pay attention! The English like to queue. My God! They queue everywhere, for the buss, at the cinema, in shops, everywhere.
As for clothes, you can wear what you like, except your “birthday suit”. Never trust the weather. Don`t bring loads of clothes with you. The shops are full of attractive things to wear at reasonable prices. Nobody minds what he or she wears. They seem to care about clothes only if they have an invitation to Buckingham Palace.
That`s another thing. “Keep your distance” when you speak to a person. The British don`t tend to stand close to you when they speak to you.
Well, Julia, I`m sure you`ll have a good time here, and I hope these few “dos and donts” will be helpful.
All the best,
Ann.
