To start the lesson teacher explains lesson objectives.

Warm up. Circle Race Game

(G) Teacher prepares questions for each student and for each circle.

Instruction: Teacher divides the class into two teams. Next step is to arrange the students around the desks into two large circles. The idea of this game is to ask every student one question. All students have to stand up. If a student can answer the question, he or she sits down. If they cannot they have to stay standing up and wait their turn to be asked another question. The students move round their circles asking questions until everyone has sat down. The idea is that the two teams race against each other.

Questions:

1. What is the most interesting city in Kazakhstan to visit? Why?

2. What was the most interesting thing you did during these summer holidays?

3. What would you recommend other people to do in Atyrau during the summer?

4. Can you compare the last and this summer?
