Teacher: Праздники - это часть культуры любой страны. Для того, чтобы лучше понять другой народ, недостаточно знать только язык этого народа, очень важно познакомиться с его историей и культурой. Безусловно, существуют общие черты, характеризующие ту или иную нацию. На британский же характер большое влияние оказало островное расположение, и даже открытие железнодорожного тоннеля под проливом Ла-Манш в мае 1994 года, тоннеля, который соединил Великобританию и Францию не внесло больших корректив. Если оставить стереотипы, Великобритания - это страна доброжелательных и трудолюбивых людей с хорошим чувством юмора. Почти весь мир говорит на красивом и логически выверенном английском языке. Именно эта нация гордо заявила о своём Я с большой буквы (в английском языке слово я (I) всегда пишется с большой буквы). Какая она, Великобритания? Великобритания - сравнительно небольшой остров с интересным разнообразием регионов, которые тщательно оберегают свои национальные традиции.

Teacher: And to my mind the most festive and the most favourite holiday for all children and adults is Christmas.

Pupil:In England Christmas Day is celebrated on the 25th of December. The English people send and receive Christmas cards, gifts, presents. Children especially wait for this merry holiday. Little children believe that when they are asleep, Father Christmas comes to visit them with a big bag of toys. They often hang up large stockings to receive the presents. On Christmas morning children look into their stockings and see their gifts. Every family tries to have a Christmas tree, which is decorated with coloured lights. They also hang little toys, sweets on the tree and they put presents under the tree. All families gather together for Christmas dinner. They eat a roasted turkey, Christmas pudding.

Many years ago people believed in devils and witches. Children put on masks and went to the streets to beg. It was Hallowe'en Day.

Pupil : Children celebrate this day too. Hallowe'en is the day or evening before All Saints Day. Hallowe'en stories and games are hundreds of years old. Then people believed in devils, witches and ghosts. Now most people do not believe in devils. English children celebrate Beggar's Night as Irish children did in the 17th century. They dress up in Hallowe'en costumes and go out into the streets to beg. They often wear masks over their faces. They go from house to hose and knock on the door. When people come to the door, the children say "Trick or treat?" "Trick or treat?" meaning "Give us a treat or we'll play a trick on you" People give the children sweets, cookies and apples". A favouriteHallowe'en custom is to make a jack-o-lantern. The children scrape out a pumpkin and cut the eyes, nose and mouth. They light a candle inside the pumpkin to scare their friends. They set jack-o-lantern in the windows.

Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en, magic night.

We are glad and very bright.

We all dance and sing and recite

"Welcome! Welcome! Hallowe'en night!"

  1. On this day people light fireworks and burn a guy on a bonfire. This is in memory of the time when Guy Fawkes tried to destroy Parliament in London in 1605. The historical meaning of the occasion is no longer important. Children put on some old costumes and take the guy. They walk round the city and ask people for money. "One penny for a guy!" Everywhere you can see fireworks and bonfires! You can hear loud bangs here, there and everywhere! (Guy Fawkes Night)


  1. It is customary for people to remain awake until after midnight on December 31st so that you may "watch the old year out and the new year in". Many parties are given on this night. The theatres, night clubs and restaurants are crowded. The favourite song at this holiday is "Auld Lang Syne". It was written by Robert Burns. It is not a public holiday.

  1. It is not a legal or national holiday. Banks and offices are not closed, but it is a happy little festival, especially for children and young people. It is celebrated among persons of all ages. It is a religious holiday; it has roots in several legends. One of the early symbols of this holiday is Cupid, the Roman God of Love. The day is time to send little gifts to those you love. Flowers and candy are favourite presents what sweethearts send each other. A greeting card is sent to someone loves, but usually without giving the name of the sender. (St.Valentine'sDay)

SaintDavid's Day.

On the 1st of March each year one can see people walking around London with leeks pinned to their coats. The many Welsh people who live in London like to show their solidarity on their national day. The day is actually called Saint David's Day, after a sixth century abbot who became patron saint of Wales. David is the nearest English equivalent to the Saint's name, Dawi. The saint was known traditionally as the "waterman", which perhaps means that he and his monks were teetotalers. A teetotaler is someone who drinks no kind of alcohol, but it does not mean that he drinks only tea, as many people seem to think. In spite of the leeks mentioned earlier, Saint David's emblem is not that, but a dove.

Give the right answer.

1) Welsh people have their national day on the 1st of May. (March)

2) The day is called Saint Patrick's Day. (David's)

3) The saint was known traditionally as "the milkman". (waterman)

4) Saint David's emblem is a leek. (a dove)
