CLEVER TOILET

Traditional Japanese toilets don't have a seat at all (they are holes in the floor) so when the Japanese  first tried western-style toilets people must have

had a bit of a shock at the cold seat! As a result, some bright spark invented  the heated toilet seat! Modern Japanese toilets also play music and some

have a remote control, too!

Question:

What conveniences does the

Japanese toilet have?

Bright spark – светлая голова

Remote control – пульт  дистанционного управления

сonveniences – удобства

VIDEOKE

Karaoke (which means 'empty orchestra' in Japanese) comes from Japan. It gives you the chance to sing your favourite songs and pretend to be a pop star. In Japan, there's something called videoke, too — where you can act out scenes from your favourite film.

Question:

Does videoke give you a chance to be a pop star or a film star?

CAPSULE HOTELS

Since so many people live in Japan, they have little place. In big cities, like Tokyo, you can find capsule hotels.  Each room has a mattress on the floor, a TV-set and air-conditioning.  There's enough room to lie down to sleep, but not to stand up and walk around. It's a bit like sleeping in a space ship!

Questions: Why did Japanese invent capsule hotels?

Mattress {maetris} – матрац ;  make – получать ; amount – количество

Questions:

What funny invention did you like? Why?

What invention is the most silly? Why?

Pupil’s evaluation card

 Pupils’ projects

1. A crib –T-shirt

You should sew a  pocket  out of a transparant cloth on the back of your

T-shirt and put in it a neseccary crib, for e.g.” The table of irregular English verbs”. You can also write with a marker "The table of English tenses” just on the shirt. But these cribs are not for you but for your friend!

2. A crib – book

This crib is only for you.You can cut out  ‘a door’ at the back of your workbook or a copybook and put a crib in ‘the door’. To use it you should be very careful. The      teacher can easily notice it! But I hope while you are writing this crib you will  remember a lot and won’t need to open ‘the door’!

3.A cork holder  

You will need several corks from bottles.Cut the rings 5 mm wide out of them.

Then glue  them with equal intervals along the upper edge of the blackboard.

Your teachers will be very glad to use these cork holders for hanging maps,  tables, posters, pictures and so on.

4. A school bag of newcomer

Sometimes you have to change a school or a class.This invention will be useful for  not so strong and confident  boys and girls.You should attach a transparant plastic pocket on the outside of your schoolbag.The boy can fill in the pocket the portrait of the famous boxer with an inscription ‘My elder brother’. The girl can fill in the picture of very handsome young man with the inscription ‘My last boy-friend’.Everybody would think,”What a cool boy!(girl)! I should meet her!”

5. Mini – darts  

For playing darts at school you can make very easy target out of corks.

Cut out a ring out of cardboard and devide it in 8 segments. Take some corks and cut  33 cork rings 5 mm thick out of them.Then glue the rings on the ring as it is shown in the picture.One is in the center and 2 rings are on each rib of the segment. Write the numbers on the rings with the marker.You should also make mini-darts out of wooden sticks or toothpicks and pins. Good luck!
