• The report of my death was an exaggeration (M. Twain)

II Main part

1. Presentation Past and Present Tenses.

2. Game "Noughts and Crosses"

The class is divided into two teams: team A and team B. The teacher draws a noughts and crosses grid on the board. The student of the first team puts down the infinitive of the irregular verb on the square and the student of the other team has to put down the second form of this verb on this square. If the Team B's student it correct, the Team A's student rubs the infinitive of .the verb and puts down a cross in that square. If the Team B's student is not correct, the word remains where it is and the other team has a chance to put it right. If Team B get it right, they write 0 in the square where the word was. The aim of the game is the same as the original Noughts and Crosses game: to get three consecutive Noughts and Grosses either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

Teacher can show students photos of Roxette and ask them about this group. Roxette had their worldwide breakthrough with the album "Look sharp" in 1989. The unique sound from Swedish sensation Roxette (Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle) was spread over the world.

3. Song (Work in group)

You will read about one woman who fell in love. Unfortunately it wasn't very successful for her. Soon she became very upset but one good friend gave her some advice. Now you can read about it. Verses 1, 2, 3 are written in Past Tense. Change it into Present Tense and you will get the original text of this song (you shouldn't change the last line of Verse 3).

V e r s e 1: I knew there was something in the wake of your smile.

I got a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.

You had built a love but that love fell apart.

Your little piece of heaven turned too dark.

Separate the words in the refrain to make the lines readable:

Refrain: Listentoyourheart

Whenhe'scallingforyou.

Listentoyourheart

There'snothingelseyoucando.

Idon'tknowwhere you'regoing

Andldon'tknowwhy,

Butlistentoyourheart

Beforeyoutellhimgoodbye.

V e r s e 2: Sometimes you wondered if that fight was worthwhile.

The precious moments were all lost in the tide, yea.
They were swept away and nothing was what was seemed,
The feeling of belonging to your dreams.

V e r s e 3: And there were voices that wanted to be heard.

So much to mention but you couldn't find the words.

The scent of magic, the beauty that had been

When was love wilder than the wind.

Every person has a period when she/he falls in love. It can lead to a successful marriage or to despair. To avoid the last one you need to learn how to differ real love and simple infatuation. Try to do it now. Choose the appropriate characteristics of love and infatuation. Explain why you have made such decisions and give us your point of view about it.

For example:

• You want to give and share with a person (love)
