Урок 1. Прочитать притчу “Два крыла”

Упали в землю два семечка. Поливал их дождь, согревало солнце. И вскоре выросло из них два цветка.

Один – словно утренняя заря на нежном и гибком стебельке. Второй – словно грозовое небо на крепком и сильном стебле. Вместе росли цветы, вместе под ветром колыхались. Нежный цветок чаще всего смотрел на восток – зарю встречал, а сильный цветок любил смотреть на запад, закат провожал.

Когда цветки отцвели, вместо плодов у них выросло по крылышку. С изумлением смотрели цветы на свои крылья, не зная, что с ними делать. Но однажды на рассвете  нежный цветок затрепетал крылом и попытался оторваться  от земли. Чуть – чуть приподнялся, но не смог. Обессиленный, опустил он свое крыло.

– С одним крылом я не смогу летать, напрасна моя жизнь,- прошептал цветок.

– С одним не сможешь, но разве ты не видишь рядом второе крыло? – услышал он голос.

Нежный цветок приподнял голову и взглянул на своего соседа. Тот заботливо обнял его и помог выпрямиться.

Обнялись два цветка, взмахнули двумя крыльями и поднялись высоко в небо. Так женщина и мужчина  – два крыла одной птицы.

Задание: 

-Как вы понимаете смысл утверждения: «Женщина и мужчина- два крыла одной птицы» ?

как одна семья, например Птенец это ребёнок, а родители(Женщина и Мужчина) крылья

-Чья роль в обществе – мужчины или женщины важнее? Почему?

Мужчины, они делают более опасную и ответственную работу

например: строительство, пожаротушение, военную службу и инженерное дело

Женщины в “неженских” профессиях

Сегодня многие девушки выбирают профессии, которые раньше считались мужскими: например служат в армии, становятся военными, инженерами, спортсменками. Они идут туда, где раньше работали только мужчины, и успешно выполняют свои обязанности.

Например, Валентина Терешкова стала первой женщиной-космонавтом

Я лично считаю, что нет «мужской» или «женской» работы. Если у человека есть желание, характер, трудолюбие или мечта, он или она сможет добиться успеха в любой профессии.

In my school, I saw students cleaning the school area with our Biology teacher. They were picking up rubbish and cleaning the yard. It was nice to see that they care about our school.

One of the main reasons our country becomes dirty is pollution. Cars produce smoke, factories release harmful gases, and some people throw rubbish in the streets and do not think about consequence. Because of this, our country becomes dirty and unpleasant.

I don’t smoke or throw rubbish in the street. I love cleanliness and always try to be neat. I hope that if everyone takes responsibility of that, our country will become cleaner, beautiful and attractive. For example, in Goris(Syunik region), the streets are clean and the air is fresh. The mayor, Arush Arushanyan, takes care of the town. Every time I visit Goris, I admire its beauty and cleanliness.

Text 1

Once a sailor went ashore on the coast of South America. He had a number of blue woollen caps with him, which he wanted to sell. On his way to the town some distance from the coast, he had to pass through a forest in which there were great numbers of monkeys. At noon, with the sun directly overhead and the heat intense, the sailor decided to take a rest. He lay down under the shade of a large tree, took one of the caps, put it on his head, and soon fell asleep.

When he awoke, he found, to his surprise, that the caps were all gone! Soon he heard a loud noise among the thick branches above him, and he looked up. He saw the trees alive with monkeys, and on the head of each monkey was a blue woollen cap! The monkey had watched his actions, had stolen his caps while he slept and had put them on, and now they did not pay any attention to his shouts.

When the sailor saw that he could not get his caps back, he pulled off the one that he had on his head and threw it on the ground, crying out, “If you want to keep the rest, you may take this one too!” To his great surprise, the little animals did the same. Each took the cap off its head and threw it on the ground. The sailor got his caps back and went away in triumph.
