Grammar rules.

Инфинитив ( The Infinitive )

Инфинитив - это неличная форма глагола, сочетающая в себе свойства глагола и имени существительного. Инфинитив обычно употребляется с частицей t о .

Be sure to come . - Обязательно приходи .

I’m so glad to have met you. – Я так рад, что познакомился с тобой.

После глаголов t о hope , to mean , to expect в Past Indefinite и модальных глаголов sh ои ld , со uld , ought ( to ), to be ( to ) употребление Perfect Infinitive обозначает, что действие (намерение, обязательство) не было выполнено:

I hoped to have come in time. - Я надеялся прийти вовремя.

He could have written the - Он мог бы написать сочинение

composition much better. намного лучше .

Shе was to have come yesterday. - Она должна была приехать вчера.

3начение временных форм инфинитива

Indefinite Infinitive обозначает действие (или состояние), одновременное с действием (или состоянием), выраженным глаголом в личной форме.

I’m sorry to be late . - Извините , что я опоздал .

I don’t like to be interrupted . - Я не люблю, когда меня перебивают .

It was a real pleasure to be swim - - Было так приятно плавать в море

ming in the sea on such a hot day. в такой жаркий лень.

Реr f ec t Infinitive обозначает действие/состояние, предшествующее действию/состоянию, выраженному личной формой глагола:

I’m glad to have bought this book. - Я рад, что купил эту книгу.

It's awfully nice of you to have - Как любезно с вашей стороны

come . что вы пришли .

Запомните случаи, в которых инфинитив употребляется без частицы " to ":

после модальных глаголов;

после глаголов to let и to make ;

в сложном дополнении после глаголов восприятия:

(to see, to hear, to feel, etc.); после выражений :

2. Жана материалды мазмұндау (баяндау)Изложение нового материала

Modern technology has changed the way the health care is organized. The discovery of modern computers helps a lot: patients files are kept on computers and these files are often kept on a central database so they can be accessed from anywhere in a hospital. This remarkably saves time, especially for such tasks as sending a patient’s file and X-rays. A process that used to take up to a week can be completed within an hour. In recent years major advancements have been made in medical equipment. These technological breakthroughs cover a wide array of medical field and treatment including cardiology, neurology, gynaecology and reproductive health.

As technology has advanced more ways have been discovered to find out what’s wrong with a patient without having to cut him open. X-ray technology and radioactive dyes often allow doctors to see inside a patient without making a single incision. Tissue biopsy and other methods can also be used to get small samples with minimal pain and suffering. Less invasive surgeries are also possible with the use of cameras and smaller incisions in the patient’s body.

The science of surgical care has advanced further in the last 50 years than in all preceding years combined. Complicated procedures such as natural and artificial organ transplants, xenotransplantants (organs transplanted from animals), neurosurgery (brain surgery), coronary artery bypass surgery, laparoscopic surgery and laser surgery were rare, if not completely unknown, 50 years ago but these procedures are becoming more commonplace today. What is more, surgical operations generally have become far less invasive, thus, requiring in many cases little if any hospital stay. As a result, the overall cost of these procedures has decreased dramatically in terms of both the financial costs to patients (and their insurance companies) as well as recovery costs to patients in terms of lost wages and physical and emotional strain. In short, advances in surgery and medical technology have allowed many more people to live healthier and longer lives than at any preceding time in history.

Unfortunately, while technology has produced an enormous number of benefits for mankind, it has also led to a number of new problems and woes in the modern world. Symptoms of everyday aches and pains are now considered to be symptoms of disease because technology has made medical knowledge more widespread. In addition, technology is more of a crutch for modern health care, convincing people to solve their woes through pharmacology rather than through more traditional or natural methods. For every disease that is cured, additional diseases are discovered through or sometimes caused by technological advances.

4. The Internet is very popular with young people. Working with a partner, read the text “Internet innovations” and find the answers to the questions.

Internet innovations

BROADBAND. What is it? A combination of the latest cable and radio technology means that huge amounts of electronic data can now be transmitted from computer to computer at incredibly high speeds. It’s like changing from a narrow pipe delivering your water to a much broader pipe.

Benefits for the user: it’s turned on all the time (you pay a fixed sum every month, so you don’t have to keep dialing up); you can do two Internet operations at the same time (e.g., collect emails and download a picture from the Internet).

WIRELESS. What is it? Computing without phone lines, similar to cordless phone technology. Benefits for the user: the freedom to use a laptop or notebook without connecting it to a phone line (as long as you don’t go too far away from the wireless hub – the main unit of the network that is connected to a phone line).

3G. What is it? “Third generation” mobile technology (still in development) that will be able to transmit data quickly to your phone. Benefits for the user: access to the complete, real Internet (not the mobile-only WAP network) quickly and in colour over your mobile; the ability to download music and video to your mobile.

Wi-Fi. “Wireless fidelity” is the new technology that lets you take your broadband connection and broadcast it around your home or office. Wi-Fi signals can travel more than 1,000 feet, which means that your private connection often leaks out into the street. If you’re feeling generous, you can leave it “open” for anyone passing by to use.

Answer the questions:

Is broadband quicker than an ordinary Internet connection?

How do you pay for a broadband connection?

What are the limits of wireless technology?

Has 3G technology been completely developed yet?

What will you be able to do with 3G technology on your mobile?

How far can Wi-Fi signals travel?

(Учащиеся читают текст, отвечают на вопросы.)

5. Modern technologies have become rather popular today, especially with the younger generation. What do you think about robots? What role will robots have in our future?

Let’s read the text “Robots.” Choose the correct word and fill in the gaps.

A robot’s brain is a computer. It switches (1) _______ the parts of the robot

that make it move and (2) ______ certain tasks. The programmer programs the robot with information for each task. A simple task needs very complicated software and hardware.

The robots of today (3) ______ talk, play football, walk upstairs, dance and even conduct an orchestra! A (4) _______ of robots can see and hear – using cameras and microphones with software that helps them (5) _______ things. Some can even smell. Robots can’t think like we do, but some robots can solve (6) _______. They collect information, and process it by (7) _______ it to the data in their program. Then they “decide” which is the (8) ______ solution. Some robots can also communicate with humans (9) ______ a very simple level: their software can recognize people’s body language and how they use their voice. Now scientists have developed new software using human DNA as (10) _______ model. They say it will give robots personalities and feelings.

После просмотра фильма учащиеся заполняют вторую часть таблицы (“learnt”). В конце второго этапа проводится коллективное обсуждение.

3.Заключительная часть

- What have you learnt today?

- Are you interested in robots?

- Is it interesting for you to speak about nanotechnologies?

2. Домашнее задание.

The future of technologies is exciting. At home you should read the text about nanotechnologies and match the titles to the paragraphs (Ex. 98, p. 108). Thank you for your work at the lesson.

The lesson is over. Have a good day, good bye!

I’m a couch potato — and I’m proud of it. Every time I have a spare minute you can
always find me on my couch. From there I switch from channel to channel until I find
my favourite soaps.

I really enjoy writing programs. It sounds difficult. But even an 11-year-old can write a simple program. One of my programs can play chess. It can beat me, but it can't beat my dad. He's an excellent chess player.

They are magic. I also do roller-skating and ice-skating. But these are a mixture of both. It’s like ice – skating in the street. So fast.

I think this is the most useful invention that I can imagine. I can take it anywhere I like. I have to keep in touch with my office whenever I travel. It's fantastic to be able to call them up as you're driving up the motorway. And they can even get in contact with me if they want!

If we feel like eating a hot meal, I just get our favourite pre-prepared food and put it into the machine, set the dial and it's ready in minutes!

I'm excited about this bit of technology. When I speak I cannot only hear but also see the other person!

Орг. момент. Разговорная практика:

(Цель – актуализировать опыт и знания учащихся, полученные на уроках английского языка и по другим предметам, подготовить к восприятию информации урока)

Teacher (Учитель): What are we going to discuss today? To know that you should remember the names of the objects we are surrounded in our everyday life? What are they?

Что мы собираемся обсудить сегодня? Чтобы это узнать, вы должны вспомнить названия предметов, которыми мы окружены в обычной жизни. Что это за предметы?

3). Поисковое чтение с выборочным извлечением нужной информации. Групповая работа.

Teacher (Учитель): Now let’s read about other teenagers’ opinions. What does Joe think about mobile phones (the 1st group will read about it), Lenny – about computers (it’s for the 2nd group)? (Давайте узнаем мнения других подростков. Что Джо думает о мобильных телефонах? (1 группа будет читать об этом). Что Ленни думает о компьютерах? (это для 2 группы)

The technical progress goes straight in huge steps. We live in the 21st century, full of different means of communication. Today almost everyone has a mobile phone. We cannot imagine our life without it because it is very important to communicate with your family and friends. At the same time, we can find the opinion that the usage of mobile phones can be harmful and dangerous.

I think that mobile phones are very useful in our everyday life. Firstly, it is very convenient, as people can call each other anywhere. Secondly, each telephone has such devices as a calendar, a camera, the Internet, an alarm clock and others. No matter where we are, there is an opportunity to get connected to the Internet, check our e-mails and find any necessary information. In addition mobile phones can help fill in our free time. For example, we may play games on it. Moreover, you are always available to delay meetings or let somebody know if you are late. Thirdly, many parents buy cell phones for their children just for safety. If a child gets into some trouble, he can call emergency services or his parents. If you need, you can call the police or an ambulance.

At the same time, some people believe that mobile phones are dangerous. Their microwaves can be very harmful and they affect our health greatly. In addition, there is such a phenomenon as a mobile phone addiction, and it’s a real problem in our society. Besides, when a person speaks on the phone in public places, we can listen to other people’s conversations or sometimes phones ring a lot of times. It is so disturbing.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that mobile phones make our life easier but nevertheless, there is a negative effect on our health. That is why people shouldn’t overuse them.

Lately computers have filled our life. We do not imagine our leisure without this miracle-machine.

They have much better memories and they can store much information. No man alive can do 500,000 sums in one second, but a computer can. In fact, computers can do many of the things we do, but faster and better. They can predict weather, and even play chess, write poetry or compose music. With the help of computers the Internet has entered into our life. It’s a brilliant source of information because the internet is a big encyclopedia. Now people cannot live a day without checking of mail and visiting their favourite sites. The Internet is not only the assistant in daily work, it is also the other world in which there are mail boxes, libraries, photo galleries, games, shops. The internet gives us a chance to communicate with people all over the world. It is interesting to learn about a life in different countries and you can practise English talking to native speakers. Also you can use the internet if you are looking for a job or to find people who share your interests. By means of the Internet people can travel to different cities, visit tourist places.

Certainly, the Internet can be the excellent assistant in information search. But we can’t rely on all the information. Moreover, some sites are unsuitable for children and should be controlled by parents. Besides, the internet can cause addiction. We lose a touch with the real world getting in a full dependence on a computer. But computers shouldn’t replace seeing your friends. And finally, users of the internet get a lot of spam every day which is very annoying.I think that it is necessary to understand, what is really important on the Internet and what is not. And then the Internet will be not the terrible enemy, but the indispensable assistant.
