Now, we are going to have
speaking practice. Your home assignment was to prepare 5-6 sentences about
holidays and customs of Great Britain.
P1: Christmas Day is celebrated on December
25. People of different countries celebrate Christmas in various ways.
Christmas is a time for eating. The traditional food is turkey, Christmas cake,
Christmas pudding made of fruit. Candles at Christmas also go back to those
times. People believed then that their light helped them to forget the darkness
of winter. Now Christmas Tree stands in everybody’s living room at Christmas.
P2 I am from Russia. The fist holiday of the
year is New Year’s Day. There are a lot of New Year traditions in Russia.
In every home there is a New Year tree with lights and decorations. Children
always wait for Father Frost to come and give them a present. Many people think
New Year’s day to be a family holiday. But in England not all English people
celebrate New Year. A lot of people go to Trafalgar Square to see the Christmas
tree. They have a New Year party at home. When Big Ben strikes 12 they drink a
toast for the New Year.
P 3 People in Russia have many traditions. One
of them is Maslenitsa. On this holiday people say good-bye to winter. People in
both countries cook pancakes with honey or sour-cream, they sing songs and
dance
P4 The 8th of March is a happy and nice
holiday. Each family celebrates this spring holiday. In the morning, men go to
the shops to buy some flowers. They try to clean flats and to cook a holiday
dinner. Sons help their fathers too: they make a cake, lay the table and wash
dishes after holiday dinner. There is almost the same holiday in England.
It is called Mothers' Day and celebrated also in spring. Flowers and cakes are
the traditional gifts for all women England. All women try to be nice and happy
on this day.
P5 : In Russia we celebrate Victory day on
the 9th of May. On
this day, the radio and television broadcast parade held in the Red
square. High officials attend this parade. They place a wreath of flowers at
the tomb of Unknown Soldier. All stand in silence for a few minutes. In Great Britain people celebrate Remembrance Day on the 11th of November. On this day, the
Royal family and political leaders come to the Cenotaph to lay wreaths at its
foot. War veterans march past the memorial. An endless line of people wishing
to honour the veterans and those were killed in the war follows.
Teacher: So, English people enjoy holidays. Let’s show to
our guests that Russia is also rich in
festivals, especially in winter. It’s time to celebrate though the weather is
cold, frosty
and snowy.
Learn the words on Russian winter festivals.

Teacher: The next task is
listening to the text, which is called “More about British and Russian
traditions”. You must listen to the speaker attentively.
Every nation and every country
has its own traditions and customs. In Britain traditions play a more important
role in the life of people than in other countries. They say British people are
very conservative. They are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them
up. But when we speak about British traditions we always remember that there
are four parts in Britain – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland. Traditions are different in these parts of the country. You already
know some of the English traditions and holidays. We hope you remember St.
Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween which have also become
traditional British holidays. Here are some more facts about old English
traditions. One of the old English legends says that London can be the capital
of the country, rich and great until twelve black ravens live in the Tower
of London. Each has got its name and the keepers carefully look after them. If
one of the birds dies, another younger raven takes its place. Londoners believe
this legend and always bring some food to give to the birds when they come to
the Tower. The keepers cut the bird's wings a bit as they are afraid that they
may fly away. People in Russia have their own special traditions. One of them
is Maslenitsa – the holiday, which lasts for a week, to say “goodbye” to winter.
People celebrate it at the end of February or at the beginning of March. During
this holiday they celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring. In
old times people usually cooked pancakes, had fires, burnt straw scarecrows of
winter, they sang songs and danced. Now during “Maslenitsa week” people always
cook pancakes. They invite their friends, their nearest to see each other and
eat pancakes with sour cream, fish, caviar or butter, sugar, honey. Though
different countries have different traditions and holidays people all over the
world know some of them. They are – Easter, Christmas and New Year.
