Now, we know what to make when we had some aches. We are fit now!!!
When we are in good health, we have to go to school. We must do it. Why we are going to school? Yes, that’s right. To know everything, to get knowledge at first.
Our new unit is about travelling. Open your copybooks and books, write down the date of today and the theme “How do you get to school?”

Look at the blackboard, what do you see?
- Types of transports, name them!
- a helicopter, a car, a taxi, a ship, a boat, a motorbike, a plane, a train, a bus…
(pupils name them, than repeat, after match the words with pictures)

Answer my questions!
- How do you get to Astana? (by plane or train) (explain using of preposition ‘By’)
- How do you get to Aktau? (by bus or taxi)
- How do you get to foreign countries? (by plane, by ship)
- And how do you get to school?
- As for me, I usually get to school on foot or walking, sometimes by car, but never by plane or train!
- If we live in a big city we get to school by car, by bus. But here, in Kuryk, your school isn’t far away from your home, so you get to your school on foot or walking.

Pupils answer the question: ‘How do get to school? ’

IV. To explain adverbs of frequency
Now, open your books at page 121 Ex 1. Listen to me attentively, than you’ll repeat

Find here adverbs of frequency…. Sometimes and never…..

1. Adverbs of frequency used before the main verb in the sentence.

I usually get up at 7 o’clock
I don’t often go to the cinema
She never eats bananas
We always watch TV in the evenings
I sometimes go swimming

2. These adverbs always used after verbs “to be” and “to do”.

I am never late.
They are always polite

3. We can use Sometimes and usually in the beginning or in the ending of the sentence.

Sometimes I play tennis. --------------------------- I play tennis sometimes
Usually he goes to school by bus. ----------------- He goes to school by bus usually.

If you understood this, do this task:
Ex. 5 p122
I have just come from school
He rarely eats chocolates
Oops! I nearly fell over!
I can always understand him
The teacher never comes late
I really missed my mother
