Teacher: Good morning, students. How are you doing today? We`ll learn how to build dialogues because it is the main form of people`s communication.
So, let’s get it started. First of all let’s revise three types of questions that we know, because we can`t build dialogues without questions.
Before we start, let`s translate the following words: auxiliary verb (вспомогательный глагол), subject (подлежащее), main verb (основной глагол), word order (порядок слов).
Let`s revise how we build questions.
Now you know three types of questions: General questions or so called – yes/no questions. For example: Do you like summer holidays?
Special or Wh questions – questions which start with the words What, where, when, why, whose and some other. For example: What did you do last summer?
And Alternative or so called or – questions. For example: Do you like fishing or swimming?
Let`s revise word order in these types of questions.
General questions
They are called yes/no questions because we can answer yes or no to this type of questions.
They start with an auxiliary verb (do/does, did, will) – depending on the tense of the main verb, then – the subject of the sentence (подлежащее) and only then the main verb in the 1st form. Only after that we write other words – other parts of the sentence.
Look: Do you like swimming? – вспомогательный глагол (auxiliary verb) стоит перед подлежащим, затем следует основной глагол в начальной форме и только затем остальные члены предложения. And we answer – Yes, I do. Использовали вспомогательный глагол do, так как это настоящее простое время.
Did you swim last summer? Ты плавал прошлым летом? – and again the same word order. And we answer: No, I didn`t. Используем вспомогательный глагол прошедшего простого времени.
One more example: Will you go to the sea–side? Yes, I will. Здесь мы использовали вспомогательный глагол Будущего простого времени.
Special questions or Wh – questions. They usually start with the words: What – что, какой? When – когда, Why – почему, Where – где,куда? Или whose – чей? You see that all these words start with WH.
Word order – порядок слов: a wh – word, an auxiliary verb of the tense, subject, main verb in its 1st form and other words.
Look: Where will you go next summer? – Куда ты поедешь следующим летом? На этот вопрос мы не можем ответить да или нет. Нам нужно дать ту информацию, которую запрашивает вопросительное слово – wh – word.
And finally, alternative questions. Они и называются альтернативными, потому что в вопросе будет выбор, альтернатива. И помогает нам в этом союз или на английском ‘or’. Look: Do you like summer or winter holidays? Ты любишь летние или зимние каникулы?
Word order is the same as in general questions: auxiliary verb of the tense, subject, main verb in the 1st form and other words. But here we add an alternative, но здесь мы добавляем выбор. И этот выбор можно поставить к любому подходящему по смыслу слову.
Teacher: Now let`s build some questions of these types.
Task1.
Each pair gets the paper with two sentences. I want you to ask each other as many questions as it is possible. And of course, you have to answer them.
1) I like summer holidays because I don`t have to go to school.
2) I like winter holidays because we go to the mountains (горы) and ski (кататься на лыжах) there.
3) I like spring holidays because it`s warm and we can play football outside.
4) I like going to the country in summer because I visit my granny and meet my friends there.
5) I enjoy going to camps in summer because we play lots of games and meet new friends there.
6) I would like to stay in the city in summer because I go to the swimming pool every day.
7) I miss school in summer because I don`t see my friends.
8) In summer I would like to go to an English summer school to improve (улучшить) my English.
9) I want to travel next summer because I like discovering (открывать) new places and learning about different countries.
10) I like New Year holidays most of all because it`s magic time and we all get lots of presents.
Teacher: Now let`s check your questions and answers. But I need helpers to listen to you. (выбираем помощников для обнаружения ошибок в вопросах, либо ответах, объясняя, что это не для вреда и обиды, а для помощи одноклассникам)
Task2. Now please, let`s read and translate the dialogue given in the papers (диалог представлен ниже).But there are 5 mistakes in it. You have to be very attentive to find them.
Teacher: Now please, name all the questions and their types.
· Hi, Ann. How are you doing?
· Hallo, Tom. I`m fine, thank you. And what about you?
· I`m fine, too. Thanks. You look swarthy (загорелая). Do you go to the sea-side last summer?
· Yes, I did. I go to the Black Sea.
· When did you go there?
· I went there in July.
· Does you go there with your parents or friends?
· I went there with my mom. And what about you, Tom. Where did you spend your summer?
· I am in the country. I was there with my Granny and my brother Mike. We had a lovely time. We went swimming, fishing and riding our bicycles. I think I go there again next summer.
· It`s good we both (оба) enjoyed our summer time.

The keys: 1) did you go to the sea–side last summer. 2) I went to the Black Sea.
3) Did you go there with your parents or friends? 4) I was in the country.5) I think I will go there next summer.
Teacher: Now I give you the papers with a dialogue where some phrases are missed. Your task is to finish the dialogue about yourselves.
