  Well, Russia is a wonderful country. It has always been a country of mystery and attraction for foreigners. Winston Churchill once said that Russia "is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".
  Some pupils of our group have been working on a project “Welcome to Russia!” for some weeks. Now they are ready to introduce their first results on “What do foreigners imagine when they think of Russia?”

  Russia is well known for its customs and traditions:
  Now you will have a chance to demonstrate that we are really friendly and hospitable. Today we are waiting for a foreign guest. Let’s meet our guest according to the old Russian tradition with bread and salt. They are symbols of hospitality.
  
  

• 20 слайд

  CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS:
  a) The main dishes of the traditional menu are blini (pancakes) with honey, caviar or sour cream, different soups (like shchi and borshch), pirozhki, pelmyeni (boiled pastry with meat filling) served with mustard, butter, vinegar or sour cream. Russian people eat brown bread with nearly every meal.

  CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS:
  b) Perhaps the greatest Russian love is tea. It's drunk without milk and is often served with homemade jam (varienye), baranki (circles of dry pastry) and pirozhki (baked pastry with some filling). Russian-style tea is a special ceremony when people sit around a table with a samovar (tea-urn) placed in the middle, and drink hot strong tea with a slice of lemon either from cups or from glasses in glassholders.

  CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS:
  c) Usually tourists buy such traditional Russian souvenirs as beautifully painted mugs, plates and spoons from the village of Khokhloma, Palekh boxes and Matryoshka dolls. Matryoshka is a symbol of the Russian folk art. The doll first appeared in Russia at the end of the 19th century and since then it has always been the most favourite Russian souvenir. But Russian Matryoshka is not only a toy with surprise or just souvenir. It is a symbol of motherhood, family and unity.

  Let’s enjoy reading “Happy Together”
  

• 24 слайд

  Some say the creation of the Russian nesting doll began in Japan.
  But there is another tale that we share here.
  
  Russian nesting dolls were
  first created in the late 1800’s by a Russian man named Murmantov. The
  Happy Together
  idea for the dolls was based on a Russian nursery tale.
  
  That old tale went something like this . . .
  
  

• 25 слайд

  Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a very little girl named Oksana who loved to run down the mountain. But she never went alone. Oksana always took one of her sisters with her. There were wolves on the mountain.
  Happy Together
  One day, all the women in her family were busy making brightly colored scarves to wear in the coming festival. Oksana's big sister had lovingly made a very small scarf, just the right size for Oksana.
  

• 26 слайд

  "There you go, my little sister," smiled Oksana's biggest sister as she tied Oksana's new scarf under her chin.
  Happy Together
  Oksana was very happy. She gave her biggest sister a hug of thanks and danced outside. Oksana swirled and twirled and spun around.
  

• 27 слайд

  "Stay close to the house," her mother called absently through the open door of the house.
  Happy Together
  "Yes, mother," Oksana said obediently. The ties of her scarf danced in the breeze. It was such a lovely day. Swirling and twirling, she moved farther and farther away from home without even noticing.
  

• 28 слайд

  Inside the house, her middle sister stood up and stretched.  She leaned out the window to take a deep breath of clean mountain air.
  
  Happy Together
  Way in the distance, she could see a colorful speck swirling and twirling in the breeze. Her eyes narrowed. What was it? Could it be? Oh no!
  

• 29 слайд

  Shouting to her mother and grandmother and sisters, Oksana's middle sister flew down the mountain.
  
  Her sisters ran quickly behind her.
  
  Her mother ran swiftly behind them.
  
  Her grandmother forgot her aches and pains and ran panting behind them.
  
  When they all reached little Oksana,
  They hugged her tightly.
  Happy Together
  

• 30 слайд

  Oksana's eyes widened nervously when she realized how very far away from home she had wandered. If not for the love of her family, she would have been all alone on the mountain. If the wolves had noticed, well, better not to think about the wolves.
  Happy Together
  Oksana and her sisters and her mother and her grandmother all walked up the mountain, happy together.

  85 – 65 points: You seem to have a healthy amount of patriotism. You like your country, but you appreciate other countries too. It’s important to be able to see the faults of your country and love it at the same time.
