Teacher: - Good afternoon, boys and girls! I am glad to see you again. Welcome to our contest “English rhymes”. Today you will recite English poems and we find out who can do it very well. First of all, I would like you to introduce yourselves (учащиеся представляются). Now let me introduce the jury of the contest (представление педагогов).

Teacher: - Children, are you ready to start? I wish you good luck!

So let’s do the first task. You know that the most important thing in a poem is a rhyme. Take the cards. You can see two columns of words. Match them to make rhymes.

Teacher: - A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly, and can be used as a type of spoken word game. Some tongue-twisters can be humorous when they are mispronounced, while others simply rely on the confusion and mistakes of the speaker for their amusement value. There are many interesting tongue-twisters for children. Here are some of them.

The next task is “Tongue-twister” for those who can speak quickly. Are you ready? Read the tongue-twisters as fast as you can. (учащиеся выполняют задание).

My Heart's In The Highlands

My heart`s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart`s in the Highlands, a chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.-
 
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North;
The birth- place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.-
 
Farewell to the mountains high cover`d with snow;
Farewell to the Straths and green vallies below:
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.-
 
My heart`s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart`s in the Highlands, a chasing the deer:
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart`s in the Highlands, wherever I go.

В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там.

По следу оленя лечу по скалам.

Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу.

Прощай, моя родина! Север, прощай, -

Отечество славы и доблести край.

По белому свету судьбою гоним,

Навеки останусь я сыном твоим!

Прощайте, вершины под кровлей снегов,

Прощайте, долины и скаты лугов,

Прощайте, поникшие в бездну леса,

Прощайте, потоков лесных голоса.

В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там.

По следу оленя лечу по скалам.

Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу!

(Перевод С.Я. Маршака)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

THE ARROW AND THE SONG

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Стрела исчезла в вышине
Упала, но не знаю, где.
Не смог я взгляд остановить
И за полетом уследить.
Я песню в небо прошептал.
Ее из виду потерял.
Но есть ли кто, чей острый взгляд
Ее полет мог наблюдать?
В потоке дней прошли года,
Нашлась нетронутой стрела,
И песни рифму и мотив
Нашел в сердцах друзей своих.
