In my room

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

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

– Welcome to our lesson.

– Guys, we have a friend.

– His name is Melvin.

– And yesterday he returned home after a long trip to Italy.

– So today we are going to visit him.

– We are so excited about that!

– Yeah! I can’t wait to see Melvin.

– Me too!

– All right! Let’s go, boys!

– Hi, Melvin!

– Hi, boys!

– We are so happy to see you!

– Guys, I’m so happy to see you too!

– Oh, Melvin, who’s that?

– Oh, I’m sorry! Guys, meet my new Italian friend, please!

– What’s your name?

– My name is Nooks.

– Nice to meet you, Nooks!

– Nice to meet you too, boys!

– Nooks, as we can see, you can speak English very well!

– Oh, no! I don’t know English very well.

– Really?

– Yes! Unfortunately, it’s true! I don’t even know the names of some things in this room.

– Oh, we can help you with that if you want.

– Oh, wow! That would be awesome!

– Great! In this case, let’s start.

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

·      talk about things in a room;

·      learn new words;

·      talk about the demonstrative pronouns “this”, “these”, “that” and “those”;

And

·      put the knowledge into practice.

– Nooks, before we talk about the things in Melvin’s room, we will tell you about the demonstrative pronouns “this”, “these”, “that” and “those”.

– This will help you to understand the information.

– Oh, okay, boys!

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

And first, let’s talk about the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “these”.

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

It’s used with singular nouns.

The pronoun “these” is translated as “эти”.

It’s used with plural nouns.

And you also need to know that we use both of them to talk about people, animals or things that are here or near.

Look at the examples:

This is our house.

Or

These foxes are so beautiful.

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

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

It’s used with singular nouns.

The pronoun “those” is translated as “те”.

It’s used with plural nouns.

And you also need to know that we use both of them to talk about people, animals or things that are there or far.

Look at the examples:

That bear is so big!

Or

Those apple trees are young.

– Nooks, we’ve told you about the pronouns “this”, “these”, “that” and “those”.

– Yes, that’s right!

– Now we can talk about the things in Melvin’s room.

– Oh, cool! I have so many questions for you.

– Oh, that’s great! You can ask your questions!

– We will answer them with a great pleasure!

– Okay! Boys, how do we call the thing over there?

– Oh, that is a computer.

Computer.

The translation is “компьютер”.

– Oh, okay. And what about the thing on the table? How do people call it?

– Well… That thing is called a radio.

Radio.

The translation is “радио”.

– Guys, that radio is so funny! It looks like a yellow hamster.

– Yeah! I also think that it’s funny!

– Guys, my dad brought it to me from Australia.

– Oh, really?

– Yes, it’s true!

– That is so cool! Oh, boys, look over there! What’s that?

– Oh, that is a lamp.

Lamp.

The translation is “лампа, светильник”.

– Melvin, your lamp is so beautiful!

– Yeah! I think so too. And I really like the colour!

– Oh, thank you! I’m so pleased to hear that.

– Guys, what’s this?

– Oh, this is a bed.

Bed.

The translation is “кровать”.

– Melvin, your bed is so big!

– Oh, yes, it is! And it’s really comfortable!

– Cool! Oh, boys, look! What’s this?

– Nooks, this is a desk.

Desk.

The translation is “парта, письменный стол”.

– Oh, I see! I really like the colour of this desk.

– Yeah! Me too! Red is my favourite colour!

– Guys, what about this thing? How do people call it?

– Well… This thing is called a TV.

The translation is “телевизор”.

– Boys, I have the last question for you!

– Oh, okay! And what’s the question?

– Boys, how do people call these things?

– Well… These things are called chairs.

Chair.

The translation is “стул”.

– Nooks, you’ve learnt lots of new words today.

– Now we would like to check how good your memory is.

– And we have one task for you.
