Students do “Mix-Freeze-Group”, they go round the tables, dance, when the music stops, they listen to the questions:
Stand up if you like the internet.
How many windows do we have in our classroom?
What conditional does the formula…….have?
How many notebooks can you see in our classroom?

How many letters does the word “year” have?
Practicing writing skills
In groups of 4 students will discuss the topic.

-against paper books.
The second group: - for paper books
- against ebooks
They come to the boxes and put there their votes. They do not speak.
Practicing reading skills
Students take votes, read and stick them on the board. We count votes.
Conclusion
-                    Watch a video.
I have the third box, for friendship.
Can ebooks and paper books be friends?
Pupils’ answers.
-                    Every home has a kitchen - but many people visit restaurants several times a week. So it is with the e-book, an electronic tablet that aids in the reading of the printed word. A lot of people want to have them - but traditional books are as popular now as ever.
-                    In my opinion, it is wisest to learn more about this devise too. None of us knows what will happen in another year, or two, or five. So we need to be flexible.
