Exercise 1 Imagine that our scientists discovered a new planet. It is called “The Planet of Great Knowledge”. Would you like to travel to this planet? It will be so exciting! But to find our way to the planet we must demonstrate our knowledge. But what is knowledge? Read the report and be ready at the end of the lesson to explain what is knowledge for you. Knowledge is something that makes you get up early in the morning and run to school, and then study there, and think hard, and create something to change yourself and the world around for the better. Knowledge is a thing that helps your brain open wider and wider till you feel like having wings that can carry you anywhere! Knowledge is love. Love is a compass that guides you through the world and helps you to explore it. Knowledge is pure water from a very deep and wide Ocean of Wisdom. I’m thirsty, thirsty for knowledge and I’d like to drink as much water from that ocean as I can. Knowledge is a flight. When you have it, you fly like a rocket into space and like an astronaut explore the universe of knowledge. Knowledge is an unknown planet or a star which you are trying to reach. And when you do reach it, you are very happy, your heart sings with joy, you feel proud of yourself. And then you suddenly understand that it’s just the first step, that you cannot stop and other planets and stars are awaiting you… Knowledge is an unknown land covered with a jungle. You may be afraid to get lost in it first. But if you keep moving, you make your own path through the jungle and see light in front of you. Knowledge is a white-paged book. First when you open it you see only blank pages and nothing else. But gradually you fill in the pages, you write your own stories. You turn over page by page up to the end of the book, and then begin to write another book, and another… And soon you understand this process is endless and a lot of books are awaiting you…

Exercise 4 Reading Pre-reading task You are going to read the story and watch the presentation “Values of life” Can anyone predict what it may be about according to the topic of our lesson? (try to guess) While reading task Be ready to draw the moral of the story.
Values of life What is life? What do we life for? What are the values of life? People have been asking these questions since times immemorial and each generation tries to find the keys to them. There is an old legend. Long time ago there lived two men. When their children were born they, left their families and started wandering with sacks on their backs. While traveling around the world they put small stones into their sacks. A lot of years passed. The men decided to return to their wives and children. They were happy to be again with their families. In the evening, when they opened their sacks, they found out that their stones disappeared. One of them found beautiful flowers in his sack. They were Health, Love, Happiness and Friendship. He gave these flowers to his children and asked to guard them so that they should never leave their family. He told his children that those beautiful flowers were the values of life. Another man found spiders and snacks in his sack. He had nothing to give to his children. He collected greed, thirst for money and envy. It is sometimes the case with us. Some of us find that our values of life are everlasting. Others only at the end of their lives, come to understand that they have cared only for material things and haven’t thought about the eternal.
