Toys for little Betsy

– Hello, our dear friends! My name is Bobby.

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

– Welcome to our lesson!

– Guys, yesterday our classmate Kaitlyn called me on the phone.

– Listen to their conversation, please.

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

– Hi, Bobby!

– Oh, hi, Kaitlyn!

– Bobby, I’m going to have my birthday party tomorrow. Would you like to come?

– Yes, of course! I’ll come with a great pleasure!

– Great! You can take Tobby and Mobby with you if you want.

– Oh, okay. Thank you! I think that they will be happy to go to your birthday party.

– Oh, I’m glad to hear that!

– Kaitlyn, can I ask you one question, please?

– Sure! What’s the question?

– Well… Kaitlyn, what present would you like to get for your birthday?

– Oh, Bobby, you don’t have to buy anything! Really!

– Come on, Kaitlyn! Tell me, please! I really want to buy something that you will like.

– All right! I like collecting different toys!

– Toys?

– Yes, that’s right! I’ve already got 8 toys in my collection.

– Oh, wow! Will you show them to us?

– Sure!

– Cool! I can’t wait to see your toys!

– All right! See you tomorrow at 6 p.m.

– Okay. See you, Kaitlyn.

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

·      talk about toys;

·      learn new words;

And

– Hi, Kaitlyn!

– Hi, boys!

– Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn!

– Guys, thank you so much! Come in and make yourselves at home.

– Oh, thank you. That’s so kind of you!

– Boys, look! This is my room! And this is my collection of toys.

– Cool! Could you show and tell us what toys you’ve got in your collection?

– Oh, yes, of course!

– Boys and girls, before we talk about Kaitlyn’s toys, we will tell you about the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “that”.

– We will also tell you about the indefinite articles “a” and “an”.

– This will help you to understand the information.

First, let’s talk about the indefinite articles “a” and “an”.

The article “a” is used before singular, countable nouns which begin with a

consonant sound. Артикль “a” употребляется перед исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, которые начинаются с согласного звука.

Look at the examples:

A fox

A bear

A frog

Or

A mouse

The article “an” is used before singular, countable nouns which begin with a

vowel sound. Артикль “an” употребляется перед исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, которые начинаются с гласного звука.

Look at the examples:

An elephant

An apple

An egg

Or

An animal

– That’s all you need to know about the indefinite articles “a” and “an”.

– Now let’s talk about the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “that”.

A demonstrative pronoun (the translation is “указательное местоимение”) shows us how near or far something is. It can refer to time or distance.

Now let’s talk about the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “that”.

The pronoun “this” is translated as “это, этот, эта”.

It’s used to talk about people, animals or things that are here or near.

Look at the examples:

This is my dog.

Or

This cat is black.

The pronoun “that” is translated as “то, тот, та”.

It’s used to talk about people, animals or things that are there or far.

Look at the examples:

That is my friend.

Or

That house is huge.

– Boys and girls, we’ve told you about the articles “a” and “an”.

– We’ve also told you about the pronouns “this” and “that”.

– Now when you know all the necessary information, let’s listen to Kaitlyn.

– All right, boys! Let’s start! Look! This is a bicycle.

A bicycle.

The translation is “велосипед”.

– This bicycle is very old. My dad brought it to me from Spain. Now look! This is a teddy bear.

A teddy bear.

The translation is “плюшевый медвежонок”.

– This teddy bear is also very old, but it’s my favourite toy. Now look! That is a kite.

A kite.

The translation is “воздушный змей”.

– The colour of that kite is yellow. And I really like playing with it in summer. Now look! That is a train.

A train.

The translation is “поезд”.

– I play with that train once a week. Now look at the following toy. This is a rocking horse.

A rocking horse.

The translation is “лошадка-качалка”.

– This rocking horse is so cool! I just love this toy! Look! That is an aeroplane.

An aeroplane.

The translation is “самолёт”.

– The colour of that aeroplane is red. And I really like playing with it outside. Now look! This is a musical box.

A musical box.

The translation is “музыкальная шкатулка”.

– My uncle gave this musical box to me on my tenth birthday. And now look at the last toy in my collection. That is a tea set.

A tea set.

The translation is “чайный сервиз”.

– I play with that tea set almost every day. That’s all, boys!

– Wow, Kaitlyn! Your collection is so cool!

– Thank you, boys!

– Kaitlyn, it’s your birthday today!

– And we would like to give these three presents to you.

– Open them, please!

– Oh, thank you so much, boys! Let’s see what’s inside.
