p align="left">"I am counting them, because I know that when the last leaf falls down, I shall die," said Johnsy.

"Johnsy, please, please do not say so," Sue asked.

"Yes, Sue. I know. I know that when the last leaf falls down, I shall die."

Evening came. There was only one leaf left on the old ivy vine. All the other leaves were on the ground.

"You see, Sue, there is only one leaf left on the ivy vine now. It will fall down at night and then I shall die."

Sue did not answer her. She wanted to cry. She went out into the corridor and cried there_ At that moment old Behrman came into the corridor. Behrman was a painter, too. He lived in the same house where Sue and Johnsy lived. He was sixty. He was not a very good painter, but he always said, "Everybody laughs at old Behrman. But Behrman is a great painter. Some day he will paint a beautiful picture. It will be the best picture in the world."

People did not like Behrman because he did not like to talk with others, and he always laughed at everybody.

"Why are you crying, girl?" he asked when he saw Sue.

"Oh, Johnsy is very ill," answered the girl, "the doctor says that the medicine will not help her if she does not want to live. And she counts the leaves of the old ivy vine in the yard."

"Why doesn't she want to live? Why does she count the leaves?"

"Johnsy thinks," said the girl, "that she will die when the last leaf on the old ivy vine in our yard falls down."

"And how many leaves are left on the ivy vine now?" asked Behrman.

"Only one. And I think it will fall down tonight."

"How silly your Johnsy is," said Behrman and went away.

Morning came. Johnsy looked out of the window and saw that the last leaf was still on the ivy vine.

The day passed. But the last leaf did not fall down.

"Oh, Sue, this leaf wants to show me how silly I was. There was a wind and rain, and it still lives. I shall not die, I shall live too."

A few days passed. The doctor came. He examined Johnsy and said, "My girl, you are much better now. You were more lucky than Berhman."

"Behrman? What is the matter with him?"

"Don't you know? Behrman died last night," answered the doctor.

"Behrman! Died! But why?"

"A few days ago in the morning," said the doctor, "people found him in the yard. Near him there was a ladder and some brown and yellow paint. Nobody knew why he was in the yard on such a cold night. Nobody asked him. People did not like old Behrman."

Sue came up quickly to the window and looked out. On the wall there was an old ivy vine with one brown leaf on it. The last leaf. Sue looked at the leaf and saw that it was not a real leaf. It was a picture. A beautiful picture. The best picture in the world which old Behrman had always wanted to paint. [10,82-85]

I hope you remember that last lesson we started to talk about the famous American writer O' Henry! Today we are going to find out some details about his life.

Your home task for today was to start reading his story “The last leaf”. So we will check how well you got acquainted with its characters!

Now we are going to listen to some interesting facts about O' Henry's life. Some of you prepared information. Listen attentively to each other and make notes if you wish because I'm going to ask questions:

O. Henry (1862-1910)

Pupil 1: O. Henry's real name was William Sydney Porter. He was an American short-story writer, a master of surprise endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his aunt. William liked to read very much, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He married in 1882.

Pupil 2: In 1884 he worked at a post as a reporter. In 1897 he was put into prison because some workers at the post said he stole money, but we are not sure about it. While in prison O. Henry started to write short stories to earn money for his daughter Margaret. Porter escaped from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O. Henry.

Pupil 3: O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902. Henry's first collection, Cabbages And Kings appeared in 1904. The second, The Four Million, was published two years later and included his well-known stories "The Gift of the Magi", "The Furnished Room" and "The Last Leaf". O. Henry published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.

Let's revise the words that you were supposed to meet in the text:

-Johnsy,

-Sue,

-Behrman

-Ivy vine

-Against the wall

We are going to continue to work at the words from the text. Let's see if you translated them correctly. Tour task is to match the English word combinations with the Russian ones:

To have very little work - иметь озноб

To fall ill - лекарство не поможет

To be all hot and cold -заболеть

A heavy head - иметь мало работы

The medicine won't help - идти на поправку

To get better - тяжелая голова

There are 6 leaves left - осталось 6 листков

By the way what is special about the word “leaf”, yes you are right! Who can give another example of such building of the plural form?

So you did it great, now lets see how well you understood the general information of the beginning. Answer the following questions giving the right variant:

1. What did Johnsy and Sue do?

a) they were teachers

b) they were students

c) they were painters

2. Why were they happy?

a) Johnsy was very ill

b) Johnsy didn't want to live

c) there was no medicine for Johnsy

4. What did Johnsy count?

c) leaves

Now we are going to recollect some details of the story. You will get cards with the words from the text and your task is to give a situation where the word was used:

Painter, wall, food, to count, room, sister, corridor, soup, medicine

Oh, I see you remember all the information about the beginning! So now you are ready to answer my “special” question. Look at the blackboard, toy can see it there:

Why did Johnsy want to die?

Tour task is to express your opinion in 3-4 sentences. You have several minutes to think it over…Now can you imagine the end of the story? So your last task for today is to create your own ending What it will be like in your opinion,…?

All your ideas are very interesting! Next time we will check whose variant is the closest to the real ending of the srory.

Your home task for the next time is to read the story till the end and to make up 5 questions to the whole plot.

Today we are going to continue to discuss the story by O' Henry “The last leaf”. Now you read the story till the end. And if you remember when we discussed the author's life story some of you told that O' Henry is a master of surprising endings! At the end of the lesson you will tell me if he is really so…

- So did you like the ending of the story in general?

Let's see how you remember some facts from the story. Your task is to say if the following statements are true or false:

- Johnsy said she didn't want to die.

-"When the last leaf falls, I shall die," Johnsy said.

-Behrman was a young painter.

-The last leaf did not fall down.

-Johnsy did not feel better.

-People found Behrman in the yard.

- It wasn't a real leaf on the ivy vine, it was a picture.

So you got the details! That's great!

Now we are going to see how well you remember some word combinations from the

text, because we will need them during the lesson. Do you see these 2 columns of words on the blackboard? Your task is to match the words so as to get word combinations. Please, be very attentive while listening your classmates because then you will make up your own sentences with these word combinations:

to fall vine

ivy at

to laugh to the window

to count leaves

to look out down

to come up at the window

Now I will give you cards. There are some statements in them. They are in a mess. Your task is to put the statements in the right order according to the story so you will get the plan of it. The plan will help you to refresh the story in your mind because you are going to answer the questions you have prepared at home!

Now ask your questions but, please, follow the plan! Your classmates will answer.

Now let's find the saddest and the happiest moments of the story…

Johnsy is described very differently in these 2 parts of the story, isn't she?

How can we understand it? What makes you think so?

Yes, she even speaks in different ways.

How does she speak? Yes, you are right, in the first part of the story she speaks in a negative, pessimistic way, and in the second - in the optimistic one!

Find the examples in the text of the pessimistic and optimistic way of Johnsy's speech.

(учитель записывает цитаты на доске в разные колонки):

pessimistic way optimistic way

I will die… How silly I was… …

I don't want live… Now I understand …

… …

Now look at the blackboard. You can see some special word combinations. Let's read them because we are going to use them in our speech! They will help you to sound seriously and at the same time polite while expressing your point of view!

-I agree/don't agree with you but…

-I see your point of view

-I understand your idea/opinion

-But listen…

Don't you think…?

And now let's try to read our columns using these word combinations!

Children, now we will play a bit, let's divide into 2 groups: group #1 is going to speak in a pessimistic way and group #2 will try to change the mind of group #1. Add your own examples to prove your point of view…

So we will play in the following way: you give arguments one by one and the group that gives more arguments will win

( задача учителя - вывести ситуацию так, чтобы выиграли «оптимисты», но без проигравших. «Пессимисты» не проигрывают, а сознательно меняют свою точку зрения).

Children, are you satisfied with our results? I like the conclusion to which you've come all together!

Now tell me, do you remember we talked about heavy diseases before reading the story? So can you tell me now what an ill person need most of all in order to recover? Why?

Yes, you are all right. This person needs a strong belief in his recovering, desire to recover!

And the last special question for you: do you think Behrman managed to become a good painter? Why?

- And now let's have some fun! As you remember you created your own endings of the story at our previous lesson. I made some notes. And I can remind you what they were like…

Now you know the real ending of the story so we can vote for the best variants. We have 2 nominations: ”the closest to the real one variant” and ”the most exciting variant”.

But which is the best ending?

Yes, sure the best variant is the original one! But were you surprised by this end? So can you agree that O' Henry is a master of surprising endings? Would you like to read another story by this author? Would you like to read it in English or translated? Why?

So, the winners, you have the right to choose our next story for home reading!

Your home task for tomorrow will be to write a letter to Johnsy. And in this letter you should do your best to make Johnsy change her mind. Use the tables we've made all together! It will be a letter from a stranger and you may design it in any way you wish.
