– Hello, boys and girls! My name is Bobby.

– And my name is Tobby. This is our friend Mobby.

– Welcome to our lesson.

– Today we have a guest.

– It’s our good friend Liam.

– Hi, everyone!

– Hi, Liam!

– Guys, today we would like to start our lesson with some pictures.

– Look at them, please.

– This will help you to guess the topic of our lesson today.

Now I think you understand that today in the lesson we will:

·      talk about family members;

·      learn new words;

And

·      put the knowledge into practice.

– All right, boys and girls! Let’s start our lesson.

– Look at the screen, please.

This is Sophia.

She has a mother and a father.

Mother – мама.

Father – папа.

We call both of them parents.

Parents – Родители.

But you should know that instead of “mother” and “father” people mostly use the short variants “mum” and “dad”

Let’s continue.

Sophia is not the only child in her family.

She has a brother and a sister.

Brother – брат.

Sister – сестра.

Sophia’s mother and father have their own parents.

It means that Sophia has two grandmothers and two grandfathers.

Grandmother – бабушка.

Grandfather – дедушка.

We call both of them grandparents.

There is no Russian translation of this word.

You also need to know that instead of “grandmother” people mostly use the short variants “granny” or “grandma” and instead of “grandfather” they use “grandad” or “grandpa”

– Guys, we have revised all the words related to the word combination “family members”.

– Now we would like you to listen to the conversation between Sophia and her friend Julia.

– But before you do that, let’s learn some new words.

– You’ll need them to understand the information.

The words which we are going to learn now are called possessive pronouns.

Possessive pronouns – притяжательные местоимения.

And they are:

My

The translation is “мой”

It came from the subject pronoun: I.

For example:

This is my dog!

Это моя собака.

His

The translation is “его”

It came from the subject pronoun: he.

For example:

His green trousers look great with this red T-shirt.

Его зелёные брюки смотрятся отлично с этой красной футболкой.

Her

The translation is “её”

It came from the subject pronoun: she.

For example:

I like her beautiful dress!

Мне нравится её красивое платье.

Its

The translation is “его, её”

It came from the subject pronoun: it.

For example:

Its nose is really long.

Его нос очень длинный.

Your

The translation is “твой, ваш”

It came from the subject pronoun: you.

For example:

Rosy, your hat is so fashionable!

Рози, твоя шляпа такая модная!

Our

The translation is “наш”

It came from the subject pronoun: we.

For example:

Our city is so beautiful today!

Наш город такой красивый сегодня!

And

Their

The translation is “их”

It came from the subject pronoun: they.

For example:

Their teacher is very strict.

Их учительница очень строгая.

Now let’s revise the possessive pronouns once again.

Listen and repeat after me.

My

His

Her

Its

Your

Our

And

Their
