Hello! My name is Agony Aunt. I’ve got a very
interesting
profession. I want you to guess what it is. I’ll
describe
my profession and you will give your variants:
- I help people. What’s my job?
- I meet a lot of people. What’s my job?
- I write a lot. What’s my job?
- I work for a newspaper or a magazine. What’s my
job? (You
are a journalist) |
Encourage pupils to guess the profession of the
speaker. |

| 2 The beginning of the lesson |
Right. I work in "Crazy!” magazine. It is a
magazine for
children and teenagers. Teenagers write letters to
me. Do
you write letters to magazines? When do children
write letters
to magazines? (When they have problems).- When
children
have problems they ask me questions and I give
them advice.
Sometimes it is difficult. Yesterday I got an
interesting
letter with a difficult question from Great
Britain. I would
like you to help me answer this letter. |

3 A letter

Here is a letter: (см. Приложение №1). Here is
the letter.
Let’s read it and find out what problem Jessica
has.

29.02.2010
Dear Agony Aunt,
I have a real problem – my parents.
My mother says I must take the rubbish out every
morning.
So, I must get up early. She says, I must tidy up
my room
every day. My father thinks I must wash up after
dinner
and play with my little sister Jane. She is nice,
but sometimes
naughty. And I must buy bread and milk after
school. It
takes me much time. What else? I must water the
flowers.
I love my family, but I want to have free time for
my friends
and hobby. My elder sister Mary doesn’t help about
the house
because "she has no time”, and I do everything for
her.
What should I do?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Bye,
Jessica. |

What is Jessica’s problem? (She has no free
time). Look
through the letter again and say, what must she do
at home?
(She must…)
What must you do at home? (I must…). Discuss in
pairs. Share
with us. Write down your responsibilities on
stickers (one
responsibility – one sticker). Write in big
letters. Stick
them to the blackboard. (Children write down
responsibilities,
take their stickers, come up to the blackboard,
say "I must”
and read what is written on their stickers). The
teacher
gives an example "I must go shopping every day”. |

But Jessica has no free time.
Look at her letter and say who can help her
about the
house? (Her elder sister Mary).
What can they do together? (they can…)
What responsibilities can her sister have? What
can she
do about the house? (She can…)
Let’s add your responsibilities to these two
columns.
After pupils have added vocabulary to "Mary” and
"Together”,
teacher asks to read the first column, then the
second
column.
So, Jessica can change responsibilities with her
sister.
So, Jessica CAN have free time:
To have free time Jessica can: (слайд №…)
- Do things together with her family;
- Change responsibilities with her elder sister.

Writing a letter

is her
problem? We have almost answered her question.
Now let’s
all together write a letter to her and give her
advice.
To write a letter correctly there are some
rules. Here
they are: (у учащихся на столах лежат распечатки

Best wishes,
Agony Aunt.
Comments: in the upper right corner we write our
address;
under address we write the date; then, in the
left side
we write greeting words and put a comma. Then,
from the
new line in the first paragraph we write why we
are writing
this letter. Then in the new line in the second
paragraph
we write our advice. Then again in the new line
we write
special polite words. Then in the new line we
write good-bye
words and put a comma and under these words in
the new
line again we write our name (only name).
Our letter has got 7 parts. Here you see the
correct
order. Now let’s find out if you have remembered
them.
Take the jumbled letter with empty squares and
put the
numbers into the empty places. (учащиеся
расставляют части
письма по порядку). Now let’s check it up: what
is number
1?..
Now you know the correct order of parts of the
letter.
You know Jessica’s problem.
You know all the vocabulary to give her advice.
So, use the vocabulary from the lesson and fill
in the
missing information to have a whole letter to
Jessica.
Work in pairs. Then read aloud your letters. |

Thanks a lot. You were a great help for me
today. I think
Jessica won’t have problems any more. So will you.
Was it difficult to give advice?
Was it difficult to write a letter? I hope that it
won’t
be a problem for you to write a letter using the
example.
