Now I’d like you to watch a video. Then we’ll discuss it and you’ll try to guess the theme of our lesson and we’ll define its aims.

Are you ready? Come on then.

So, guys, where are these people going?

Well, thanks. But what problems can all of them face there?

That’s right! And what do people call all of these problems?

What do they feel arriving in different country?

Sure ! What is the theme of our lesson?

Yes, you are right!

So, today we are going to discuss the problem of a “culture shock” that a traveler has got when travelling abroad or visiting another city or another family.

So, what is culture shock?

Nice, well done!

Now, try to guess what we’ll do in class?

Excellent! Also we are going to read and listen to people who travelled abroad and experienced different problems there. Of course, you’ll try to give advice how to cope with such problems and avoid culture shock. You have to hear information you need to discuss the problem of a culture shock and answer the question “ Is culture shock rewarding or challenging?”

Are you ready to start?

Now I want you to open the books on page 83.

Here is a text Steven Marshal.

Look at the questions in the text.

What is the interview about?

Great! And now listen, read and check your answers.

1. Why did he decide to spend a year studying abroad?

1. What have been the best parts of his experience?

1. And what about the challenging parts?

1. What would he say to other young people considering studying abroad?

And now, let’s read the text again and mark the statements T (true) or F (false).

If a statement is false correct it using Present Perfect Progressive Tense.

So, now it has become easier to discuss or analyse all culture shock components.

Let’s watch video and answer my questions.

What is the third moment of culture shock?

Here are a few of the most important rules of behavior.

Now let’s check your homework.

So I would like you to make up small dialogues.

Look at the screen. You see the table. Please ask questions or say remarks to illustrate the possible and impossible topics for small talks in pairs.

People can struggle to get used to the weather.

• Rainy. It rains 4 days a week, 192 days a year.

People may try to get used to food.

And now the next component of culture shock is customs and traditions. I’ve got a surprise for you.

We are going to travel to New Zealand because we are invited to a wedding ceremony.

………

Imagine we are on board a plane, we are flying over the Pacific ocean to Wellington (the capital of New Zealand).

We are in a café, watching one of the most surprising traditions.

……..

What are all these people doing?

What does this dance mean?

Why is it so aggressive and emotional?

Are you shocked? Me too! Why? Because we didn’t know that Haka-dance is a traditional wedding Maory tribe dance. People want a new couple to be happy for all their family life. Do you understand this tradition now?
