Грамматика

Present Simple употребляется, когда речь идет о постоянных действиях, законах природы, привычных и повседневных действиях, расписаниях и чувствах и эмоциях. Present Continuous употребляется, когда речь идет о:

действиях, происходящих в момент речи; действиях, происходящих в настоящий период времени; запланированных действиях в будущем, особенно, когда известно время и место действия; временных ситуациях; меняющихся и развивающихся ситуациях; с такими наречиями, как always, constantly, continually, для выражения эмоционального состояния (часто раздражения) по поводу часто повторяющихся действий. Present Perfect употребляется, когда речь идет о: о действии, произошедшем в прошлом, но имеющем видимый результат в настоящем; о действиях, произошедших в неустановленное время в прошлом, и имеется результат. При этом действие более важно, чем время; о недавно завершенных действиях, результат которых налицо в настоящем;

о личном опыте, переживаниях, изменениях, которые произошли.

Указатели времени, употребляемые с Present Perfect: just, already, yet, ever, never, for, since.

Present Perfect Continuous употребляется, когда:

подчеркивается значение длительности действия, которое началось в прошлом и продолжается до настоящего времени; описывается действие, которое началось и закончилось в прошлом и косвенные результаты  которого очевидны в настоящем; речь идет о повторяющихся действиях в прошлом, продолжающихся до настоящего момента.

Указатели времени, употребляемые с Present Perfect Continuous: since, for, how long (акцент на длительности действия).

Основное содержание урока:

Have you ever thought what role music plays in our life?

Music fuels the mind and creativity. A creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations. Listening to music challenges you to listen and tell a story about what you hear. In the same sense, playing a musical instrument gives you the ability to tell a story without words. Both require maximum brain work which not only exercises your creativity but also your intellect.

You’ve heard many times that music is the language of the Universe, but what does it mean?  Music is universal because there are no boundaries in it.  Even animals like birds, dogs, and whales can understand music to a certain degree. It overcomes all boundaries of communication because you can speak and tell stories to someone on the other side of the planet, even though you both don’t speak the same language. Music can take you away on an extended journey. Music can make time frozen. 

What is amazing about music is that it is inherent in all of us. Everyone can understand it and feel something if they open their mind.
