The decision of the educational problem
Wash the departure with a column with a column of Orphogram, the underpass, the adultram is undergoing.
| A) Fresh, green in the garden in the summer, And in the winter in a barrel, yellow, salted (cucumbers) |
Feels very smooth. Tastes like sugar. (carrot) |

- self -testing for the standard on an interactive whiteboard. EVALUATE THE WORK.
- Write down the adjectives used to describe the answers. (group work) RATE
Cucumbers - fresh, pickled, yellow, pickled.
Carrots - smooth, sweet.
Apple - round, ruddy.
Peas - smooth.
Problematic question: - What can you say about these adjectives? What role do they play? Compare with the output on page 99.
2) Let's look at adjectives. Read two texts. Determine how they differ. (Work in pairs) Underline the adjectives.
Spring has come. Snow is melting. Streams murmur. The sun is shining. Birds are flying.
Early spring has come. The last snow is melting. Talkative streams murmur. The gentle sun shines. Vociferous birds fly.
-What are these texts about? (About spring)
-Can these texts be considered the same? Prove it.
-What distinguishes the first text from the second? (presence of adjectives)
-What role do adjectives play in speech? VALUE
In the second text, I used the adjective last to describe the snow. But this adjective is not so pretty. After all, one could take, for example, the word fluffy, silvery.
(This is an accurate description of snow)
3)Let's try to describe winter snow and spring snow as accurately as possible. Group work: (words are given on the cards).
- Distribute the words. (spring snow and winter snow)
Last, sparkling, wet, prickly, dirty, fluffy, silvery, soft, loose, white, fresh, grey.
check: snow spring snow winter
wet last
prickly sparkling
dirty fluffy
soft silver
loose white
fresh gray
Conclusion: It turns out that if you accurately describe an object using adjectives, you can recognize it without even seeing it.
- Underline the spelling.

(Additional text to summarize the children's answers:
Imagine a smooth asphalt road and a summer forest clearing. How tiring to look at the gray monotony of the first for a long time and how pleasing to the eye is the second. , sizes, colors: green, slender, patterned, thin, velvet, white, long, undersized, blue, round, etc.
)
All this variety is conveyed with the help of adjectives. It is they who make our speech picturesque. Without them, speech is poor and inexpressive. Ask any person, “What is grass? Snow? Night? He will answer: “The grass is green. Snow is white. The night is dark." Is snow always white? Of course not. It comes in dark blue. Blue, silver. At sunset, even red, and also fluffy, crumbly. You can touch it - it is cold, prickly, fresh. When we learn to use this wealth, to think carefully about the selection of adjectives, then our speech will become brighter and more beautiful.
4) An example of such a beautiful speech is in our workbook (p. 84, ex. 136). Read, find the adjectives that I. Bunin wrote in his poem. Completing assignments on your own. Checking on the board with pronunciation.
1) Try to describe spring, spring snow yourself, using adjectives. (Individual work) Words for reference are given to help you.
I found these adjectives on the Internet at enc – dic Dictionary of epithets . If you are interested in this work, then you can see other words there .... needed for what? (writing essays, so that the speech is figurative and beautiful )
-
Repetition, what is a text. Text types.
-
Creative work: write a text-description "Spring". You can compose the text yourself, but for those who find it difficult, then work with the words for reference and the text with which you worked. Choose your favorite adjectives to describe snow, spring, sun. Write the text in a notebook. Listen to 2-3 students.

When we describe an object, sometimes we want to describe its different qualities, so one adjective is not enough.
To do this, you need to remember their basic order:
- point of view / opinion
- scale / size
- form / form
- age / age
- color / color
- source / origin
- fabric, wood etc / material
- type / type, target
Of course, you will hardly need all the characteristics at the same time. As a rule, we use no more than 3-4 adjectives before a noun, but if you take words from different categories, then be guided by that order.
Olivia can't imagine her life without her comfortable old leather armchair. / Olivia can't imagine her life without her comfortable old leather armchair.
My aunt liked our big new wooden wardrobe. She wants to have the same. / My aunt liked our big new wooden wardrobe. She wants the same.
Will you wear your pretty white silk dress to the party? / Will you wear your white silk dress to the party?
I don't need this horrible green cotton T-shirt.
/ I don't need that awful green cotton T-shirt.
I will definitely have a nice big living room in my new house. / There will definitely be a beautiful large living room in my new house.
We need some nice things which remind us of those carefree days of childhood when a new wooden pencil case could bring so much pleasure. / We need cute trinkets that would remind us of the carefree days of childhood, when a new wooden pencil case could bring so much joy.
If you need to give the maximum amount of information about a subject, use subordinate clauses using the words who / which. By using the relative clause in this case, we avoid piling up words before the noun:
My husband has a red Italian sports car, which is expensive and really valuable. / My husband has a red Italian car, which is expensive and really valuable.
There is also a more general classification in which all adjectives are divided into 2 large categories:
opinion / expressing our opinion (subjective assessment of our attitude to the subject, which makes it clear whether we like it or not)
fact / containing factual information (objective non-judgmental characteristic, properties of the subject independent of the speaker)
The following adjectives can be classified as opinion adjectives:
- beautiful
- comfortable
- wonderful
- interesting
- boring
- delicious
- good
- excellent
- bad
- terrible
- awful
Fact adjectives include the following adjectives:
- round
- silk
- red
- long
- new / new
- rectangular / rectangular
- tall
Adjectives that reflect our opinion usually come before actual ones.
For example:
I will definitely buy this beautiful wooden chest of drawers! / I will definitely buy this beautiful wooden chest of drawers!
Unfortunately she can't afford to buy that lovely yellow dress which she saw yesterday . / Unfortunately, she can't afford to buy that lovely yellow dress she saw yesterday.
Have you seen that cute black puppy under the table? / Did you see that adorable black puppy under the table?
If I had nothing to do, I would watch an interesting American film. / If I had nothing to do, I would watch some interesting American film.
A handsome young man helped me to carry these heavy boxes. / A handsome young man helped me carry these heavy boxes.
If I go to Italy next year, I will buy a brown leather bag for you. / If I go to Italy next year, I will buy you a brown leather bag.
Ways to describe a person's appearance deserve special attention.
