1 pupil:

If I went out in space,

I'd tell the whole human race

Of all the things that I could see

And I'd bet they'd wish that they were me

I'd take my ship from Earth to Mars,

Right throught the air and over the stars.

(by Ben Davis).

Maxim Gorky whrote a beautiful poem about a bird that was born to fly higher than the clouds, higher than the wind and the storm. How much poetry there is in the flight of the first silver bird that carried a man into the darkness of space where the sun is a tremendous ball of fire, and the stars shine brighter than we ever see them on earth. Space flight is not only man's greatest achievement; it is a poem that we love to hear again and again.

2^nd pupil: The histori of the space age opened with the flight of Yuri Gagarin, but it had a long pre-history.Years ago in the dark days of old Russia, Кгуаkunov (Крякунов), a poor church servant rose up in the air on a big ball full of hot smoke. He knew nothing about the science of aerodynamics; his flight was "against the will of God", but it was the first step. Kryakunov proved that man can fly.

And today we shall read and speak on this subject-about the people who made it possible to make the sky, the space nearer to us. We'11 speak about the Pioneers in Aviation. We'll check up your knowledge of this theme.

Later You will have a quiz competition. But now we'll begin it with our prose - with the reminding of the contents of the text and of course, the correct reading of the new words from the text.

But first, I'd like to ask you a question: Was the text difficult for you? Did you understand everything? What haven't you understood, ask me, please! (Let' s try to translate together).

He tells about his flight and his feelings,and emotions.So,listen to the text first! (учащиеся прослушивают следующий текст: (на доске таблица на новые слова).

-This is what Yury Gagarin said at his conference:"0n my flight the day side of the Earth was clearly seen:the continents,islands,seas and big rivers.Flying over Soviet land I could clearly see the big squares of collective farm fields,and it was possible to distinguish which was meadow and which was forest.I could not sec as well as from an airplane,but very very well though. I saw for the first time with my own eyes the Earth's spherical shape.I must say that the view of the horizon is very beautiful.You can see the noticeable change from the light surface of the Earth to the completely black sky in which you can see the stars.

This transition,from light blue to dark,is very gradual and lovely.

I did see the Moon.In space the sun shines ten times more brightly than on Earth.The stars can be seen very well.

1 felt excellent as I entered space.When weightlessness developed,everything was easier to do. My legs and arms weighed nothing.Objects swarm in the cabin.

During this state of weighlessncss,! ate and drank,and everything was the same as on Earth.my handwriting did not change, though my hand was weightless.

But I had to hold my notebook or it would have floated away.

The passage back from weightlessness to the force of gravity,happened smoothly .Arms and legs feel the same as during weightlessness,but now they have weight.I ceased to be suspended over the chair, then I sat in it. When I returned to Earth I was full of joy.

Учащиеся отрабатывают ситуацию, затем инсценируют ее. После каждого конкурса подводятся итоги. И в конце - общий итог. Если останется время, учащиеся могут составить из слова airplane новые слова, for example: air, plane, lane, plan, rain, pain, April, pearl, ran, pen, pair, real.
