Our lesson is devoted to home-reading. We are very short of time, that’s why we can’t spend much time on home-reading at the lessons. Home-reading is a problem of self-study and the main aim of our lesson is to learn to work with books on home-reading. Home-reading helps you to muster English better to enlarge your vocabulary. We are lucky enough because there are 4 books by Jenny Dooly at our library. They are supplied with very expressive records, active books with a lot of written and oral exercises and “Beauty and the beast” is one of them. What must you begin with? First of all you must write down and learn all the unknown words from every text you work with and your home-task was to learn all the unknown words from chapter I. Let’s check them up.

(8-10 раз студенты на слух воспроизводят предложения, на которых останавливается запись, на английском языке и переводят на русский).
III. Now I would like you to tell us if this or that statement is true or false. And if it is false explain why.

1. What kind of man was the farmer?
Text The farmer
The farmer is a positive character . He is a very kind man, good husband, and good father. He lost his dear wife then she gave birth to their last baby-daughter. But the feels the same pain in his heart for her. He loved his daughters very much. He is eager to buy them expensive presents but he couldn’t count because he is very poor.

Text Ursula & Gertruda
Ursula & Gertruda are the farmers elder daughters. They are negative characters that their father is poor, they wanted expensive presents for them: dresses, shoes, jewelry. They don’t love their youngest sister Beauty, because she is very kind, beautiful and generous. They are very selfish, unkind, envious.
3. What kind of girl was Beauty?
Text Beauty
Beauty is a positive character she is very kind, unselfish and generally she knew, that her father was poor and that’s why she did not want buy eхpensive presents for her. She only wanted her father to come back safety. She loved her elder sisters, though she knew that they envied her and were unkind to her.
VIII. Now I would like you to give the summary of the text. (2 or 3 students are giving the summary)
IX. Though we haven’t read this book up to the end, we know, that the story has a happy end. The prince marries Beauty and they are happy. Almost all fairytales have happy ending, that’s why the children like to read fairytales. Many enlighteners and progressive writers of the past and present believed and believe in good qualities of human nature. For example, speaking of Ch. Dickens’s creative work, one of the best representatives of Critical realism in English literature of 19th century we know that all his works of the first period have a happy end.
Virtue always conquers evil. Dickens was very optimistic and he believed such a thing possible. We also want to believe that virtue conquers evil. But we live in a hard reality and see that virtue seldom conquers evil.
Nevertheless you are future teachers of Russian and literature and you must form minds, feelings, behavior of your pupils. You must teach them the best qualities of human being. What qualities must you teach them? Translate the following phrases from English into Russian:
to be kind to be unselfish
to be honest to be generous
to be sincere to be respectful
to be patriotic to be merciful
to be sympathetic
You must teach your pupils that virtue conquers evil at last.
X. Here are some proverbs and sayings on this point. Give the Russian equivalents to them.
1. A friend in need is a friend indeed. – Друг в беде –настоящий друг.
2. One man no man. – Один в поле не воин.
3. Live and learn. – Век живи, век учись.
4. There is no place like home.- В гостях хорошо, а дома лучше.
5. Who chatters with you will chatter of you.- Кто сплетничает с вами, будет сплетничать о вас.
6. Where there is a will there is a way.
Было бы желание, время найдется.
7. Promise little, do much. -Меньше слов, больше дела.
8. To know everything is to know nothing.- Знать все- значит ничего не знать.
9. No living man all things can do. -Невозможно быть мастером на все руки.
