Good afternoon, dear guys and our guests. I hope everyone is OK. So let’s start
Look at the screen. Do you know the meaning of this word? Maybe this picture helps you to guess? (You are very close to the reality). Do you know the word convince? This word is a synonym.
Now I need to persuade my family to do something. And what is this something we’ll find out a few minutes later
We are going to talk about very useful skill – the skill of persuasion. It’s how to convince people that your opinion is correct. This practical skill is very useful both in your academic study and in a larger context of everyday life.
To persuade people you need something. What is this something. What should you use to persuade people? For example, what do speaker use to persuade somebody to do something
Read the definition and guess.
What kind of arguments do you know?
- for and against. Arguments can be for or against something.
- strong and weak
What is this “something?”
Who can tell me the topic of our lesson?
I’ve received a message from my sister Ann. (зачитываю)
- what should my sister and my relatives do to persuade him not to do extreme sports?
- your suggestions!
As for me, I think that my relatives should get together (arrange a family meeting), invite Pete and his friends and give them strong arguments against this risky activity.
How do you think what relatives must do before this meeting?
- watch films about extreme sports
- find information in the internet and magazines
- listen to other people opinion
And only after that start talking
So, what must we do at the lesson to get ready to convince Pete and his friend? Look at the plan of our lesson.
1. Practice new vocabulary on the theme.
2. Have a talk about extreme sports.
3. Find arguments for and against.
4. Study persuasion skill
5. Listen to other people opinion, watch video, read articles for specific information.
6. Practice persuasion skill
Let’s start
Look at the screen and read the words. Read after me.
Match the sports with the definitions.
You can find speed, excitement and danger in it. You jump off a high bridge then fall and just before you hit the ground or water an elastic rope pulls you back. (bungee jumping)
In it you jump out of an aeroplane and use a board to “surf” the air, doing gymnastics in the air (skysurfing)
You sit in a rubber boat and sail down a mountain at great speed and you can’t control the boat (snowrafting)
You sit in a small raft and go down a river at great speed. Fast flowing rivers are the best. (white water rafting)
This extreme sport for crazy people. You need good diving equipment and frozen lake. First you break the ice and then you get into the water and try to walk upside down on the ice. (ice diving)
It’s for absolutely crazy people.
People jump from building, antennas, bridges and cliffs. The chance of injury or death is very high. Sometimes it happens when parachute opens too late or doesn’t open at all. (base jumping)
Look at the screen and find English equivalents of these words. Read the sentences.

I’ve listen to your answer and structured them in a certain way.
It opens up with stating the first reason then I strengthen an argument by giving additional reason, using such expressions as in addition to, …
The argument ends with final reason or making a summary of the main reason.

Message from my younger sister Ann
Dear Helen!
I have unpleasant, frightening news for you. My son Pete decided to do extreme sport. I tried to persuade him to forget this awful idea. You know that he is stubborn and persistent. My arguments were not too strong for him. I want to ask you for advice. What are your suggestions?
Love, Ann
