Now we are going to our favourite Disneyland. But you won’t go alone you’ll go with your friends. You will have to decide which attractions you are going to visit. But before that on your desks you see “language support boxes” which help you make the conversation sound natural. Exmine them please.

Now (Olga, Inna…) with the help of which phrases can you make suggestions? ( etc the T checks the understanding of the phrases) How can you agree/disagree?

All of you will be given special role cards, don’t show it to anybody. You will have to discuss in a group of 4 which attractions you are going to visit in Disneyland. (T hands out the cards)Now you’ll have 3 minutes to prepare for the role on your own, revising the text

What do you think the result of your activity will be?

Ss examine the cards

Ss answer T’s questionsS1:We can make suggestions saying :”What about…Why don’t we…”S2: We can also say”What about…” etcS3: I can say “I’m not sure about that” if I disagree…etc

Ss read the cards, prepare for the roles on their own, revising the text

Ss answer:

Student 3.Your mother won’t allow you to have a Magnificent Falls log ride , that’s why you suggest taking Funny Barges (don’t confess about the mother because it’s a shame for you but give some other reasonable argument).

Student 3You are a boy. You don’t want to go to Magic Carousel and find it blunt. But you don’t have enough money to go to Fighting Giants Hanging coasters and Magnificent Falls log ride. So you suggest visiting cheap Funny Barges
