English is everywhere
Вітаємо тебе! П’ятий клас – це новий етап твого життя, нові друзі, вчителі та підручники. Тому давай знайомитись! Перед тобою сучасний підручник з англійської мови з цікавим змістом та чіткою структурою для ефективного забезпечення навчального процесу. Підручник має 6 юнітів, кожен із яких містить 6 уроків, завдання для тренування всіх видів мовленнєвої діяльності (Life skills) та завдання для перевірки вивченого (Review). Також подається дві важливі рубрики – Culture і Literature – для розвитку культурної свідомості та діалогічного мовлення. Починаємо із Стартеру. Це невеликий юніт, що містить основний матеріал для перевірки та повторення вивченого у попередніх класах, тести й ігри. Далі ти вивчатимеш нові слова та граматичні правила, які допоможуть тобі краще розуміти і вдосконалювати основні навички володіння мовою: читання, аудіювання, говоріння і письмо. У підручнику велика увага приділяється роботі у парах та діалогічному мовленню, бо комунікація і взаємодія з іншими людьми – це важливий момент для успішного освоєння мови. Сьогодні знання іноземної мови є надзвичайно важливим для комфортного життя, адже English is everywhere. Тобто, англійська мова – це інтегрований предмет базових знань та додаткові знання всього, що нас оточує: сім’я, друзі, школа, улюблені речі, погода, природа, стиль життя, одяг, їжа, міста, країни. Тому читай, слухай, спілкуйся й пиши англійською! А для чого тобі потрібна англійська мова? Прочитай відповіді студентів та доповни своїми.

Some of my friends sent text messages during exams – it’s wrong! Mia – We mustn’t wear make-up, and this is sad for me because I like taking care of myself. We mustn’t chew gum. And we mustn’t listen to our iPods. It is so boring without music! Adam – We must stand up when the teacher enters the room. We must wear a uniform – a blazer and a tie – so everybody has the same clothes. We must do two hours’ homework every evening, and that’s a lot! Finally, we must stay in the school gates at lunchtime, so we can’t go home or to a cafe for lunch, but we can go out and have lunch in the school yard, not the canteen. 51

He does not say «sorry» to the teacher. He sits down and does not take his books out of his bag. He speaks to his classmates in a loud voice and interrupts the teacher. The teacher says: “Be quiet, Mark!”, but he doesn’t follow. Finally, the teacher asks: «What’s the matter with you?» and he answers: “That’s none of your business!”.

4. Read the article and check your idea. Tick the photos of food and drinks you can find in the text.
Is it difficult for you to remember things for a test? Do you feel tired a lot of the time? Try eating breakfast!
One in ten children does not eat a proper breakfast, and most of them do not eat breakfast at all, because it’s hard enough to get up early and be ready on time for school. But, missing a morning meal is a big mistake and a very unhealthy habit. Young or old we all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating no breakfast is like starting a car without fuel! Breakfast foods are good sources of calcium, iron, vitamins and protein. A full breakfast gives more energy to your growing body and powers your brain; it can improve your memory, school marks, especially in maths and reading. So, tomorrow morning, take five minutes to eat a goodfor-you breakfast before you leave the house. There are a lot of things you can enjoy for breakfast: yogurt, fruit salad, cereals with milk, noodles with cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, or pancakes with honey. Match your breakfast to the day. For an active day start with a glass of orange juice or fresh kiwi fruit for vitamin C, then have some eggs with sausages and eat them with brown toasts. To start calm and peaceful have a large bowl of fresh porridge and add some honey. It gives you lots of vitamin B with healthy calories. Leave the crisps and biscuits in the cupboard! Your body, your mind – and your teacher – will thank you!

A little bit of history Reading&Grammar 1. Read the text about the history of NY and check out the new words.
400 years ago, before the world called New York the “city that never sleeps,” the local Indian tribe knew it as Mannahatta, the “land of many hills.” When Columbus arrived in 1492, Native Americans lived on this piece of land. They raised corn and Manhattan before the beans, gathered berries, nuts, and roots, Dutch arrived caught fish. Also, they hunted buffalo with bows and arrows and ate their meat. They built houses like tents, called wigwams, wore simple skirts and made a headdress of bird feather. They were excellent horsemen and rode very well. In 1624, the first settlers came from the Netherlands. Then, the Dutch bought Manhattan Island for $24, built a city there and called it New Amsterdam. Later in 1664, the British came, took over this land and named it New York. 2. Study the rule and complete the dialogue.

LITERATURE
Alice in Wonderland (a fragment) by Lewis Carroll 1. Look at the map and discuss these questions.
1) What do you know about Wonderland? Walk on the road and name all places in Wonderland. 2) Alice fell down the rabbit-hole and arrived in Wonderland. How do you think she will get home again? 3) How is Wonderland different from our world? 2. Roleplay the dialogue and check your answers.
Alice: Where is this place? Everything is different here. Perhaps I’m in a new world. She walked and met the Cheshire Cat. The Cat smiled at Alice. Alice: Please, can you help me? I want to go somewhere new. The Cheshire Cat: Where do you want to go? Alice: Somewhere different. The Cheshire Cat: Hmmm, somewhere different. Walk that way and you’ll come to a house. A man lives there. He makes hats and he’s very strange. We called him the “Mad Hatter”. Alice: But I don’t want to meet a strange man. The Cheshire Cat: OK. Walk this way and you’ll find the March Hare. He’s strange, too. Alice: But I told you, I don’t want to meet strange animals. The Cheshire Cat: Oh, we’re all strange here. I’m strange. I laugh when I’m sad, and I cry when I’m happy. That’s strange. Alice: Totally, agreed! It’s a magic place. I meet the strange animals. Caterpillar can talk, the rabbits have watches. You haven’t got a body. I eat strange food and drink magic drinks. My size changes all the time from food and drinks here. I get bigger or smaller. It’s very strange. Alice opened her eyes and saw her sister. Sister: Wake up, Alice dear, you slept for a long time! Alice: Oh, I had a very strange dream.

Earth is the planet we live on. It is one of the eight planets in the solar system. On Earth there is land, mountains, forests and cities. But most of Earth is water: the oceans cover two thirds of the Earth. This is why the Earth is blue when people take photographs from space. In fact, water supports plant and animal life on Earth. Also, life can exist on Earth because the sun gives sunlight and heat. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants to eat and the oxygen they produce to breathe. Without heat from the sun, Earth can freeze. There will be no winds, ocean waves, or clouds to transport water. Only on Earth there are important natural resources for people to survive. Planet Earth is unique and it’s our home, so we need to take good care of it.

What will our Pack say? Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When cubs can stand on their feet, the father has to bring them in front of the Pack. The other wolves have to see them and know them. After that, the Pack will look after the cubs, and nobody can’t hurt them. Akela: You know the Law. Look well, Wolves! Look well! Shere Khan: The cub is mine. Give him to me. Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When a wolf doesn’t want a new cub in the Pack, two other wolves have to speak for it. They cannot be its father and mother. Akela: Who is going to speak for this cub? Baloo: The man-cub? I will speak for the man-cub. A man-cub hurts nobody. I, Baloo, will teach him. Tabaqui: The Law of the Jungle says: When the Pack does not want a cub, another animal can buy that cub. Bagheera: There is a dead buffalo – a fat one – nearly a kilometer from here.

Culture Unit 5
Around Meet the my family world
In my culture, it’s traditional to take off shoes when you go into a house. Young people must respect older people. It’s not ok to call people by their first name when you first meet. However, these rules are not typical for all peoples, and they may even be strange or rude. Anyway, that doesn’t mean we are wrong, it’s just what makes us different! For example, how do you greet people in your country? What do you say before a meal? How do you react when somebody sneezes? Look at these pictures and say what they mean in your country?
thumb up
kiss and hug
pointing at
shaking hands look in the eyes
In the USA it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. However, they hug and pat each other on the back. People in the UK usually shake hands. Only very good friends hug or kiss, and British men rarely hug or kiss at all. You should never, for example, tap an English person on the shoulder if you want to attract their attention. It’s safer to cough or say: "Excuse me?" 4. Work in pairs. Do you like ... ?

I will explain later. But the fact is that I have decided to go around the world in eighty days. Passepartout: But... the suitcases? Phileas Fogg: No suitcases. A travel pack with just a few things: a pair of shirts and four socks for each of us. Passepartout: Very well, Mr. Fogg. But, did you say around the world? Phileas Fogg: Yes, all the way around. Passepartout: Yeah. In... in... eighty days. Phileas Fogg: The question is my dear friend... ARE YOU READY?
