Близится конец второй четверти, а вместе с ним и рождественские праздники. Почему бы не порадовать своих девятиклассников перед праздниками прослушиванием современной популярной песни на английском языке и просмотром отрывка из интересного фильма? Причем все это не выходя за рамки изучаемой темы «Мода» (Unit 4). В качестве песни предлагаю Lady Gaga «Fashion», саундтрек к фильму «Confessions of a Shopaholic», отрывок из которого тоже можно посмотреть и обсудить.

Before Listening

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta ( born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Gaga rose to prominence with her debut album The Fame (2008), a critical and commercial success which produced global chart-topping singles such as «Just Dance» and «Poker Face». A follow-up EP, The Fame Monster (2009), was met with similar reception and released the successful singles «Bad Romance», «Telephone», and «Alejandro». Her second full-length album Born This Way was released in 2011, topping the charts in more than 20 countries, including the United States, where it sold over one million copies in its first week. The album produced number one single «Born This Way». Her third album Artpop, released in 2013, topped the U.S. charts and included the successful singles «Applause» and «Do What U Want». In 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek, which debuted at number one in the United States and became her third consecutive number one album in the country. Gaga is noted for her flamboyant and diverse contributions to the music industry via her fashion, live performances, and music videos. With global album and single sales of 27 million and 125 million, respectively, as of June 2014, she is one of the best-selling musicians of all time. (Wikipedia)
