IV 1. Монологическое высказывание. Р1, Р2, Р3
T. Do you know Halloween superstitions?
Many Halloween superstitions started because people wanted to know what would happen to them in the future.
T. Speak about superstitions.
P1 October 31 was the eve of the Celtic new year, time when ghosts or evil spirits walked the
Earth and mingled mischievously with the living. Costumes and jack–o- lanterns were thought to protect people from any harm they might cause. A jack-o- lantern is a face carved into on side of a hallowed out pumpkin in which lighted candle has been placed. This gives it an inviting yellow and orange glow on a dark autumn night. This is why the Halloween colors are orange and black.
P2 Even today small children are told that any house with a jack-o- lantern burning in the window is a safe place to go trick – or- treating. The custom of trick or treating comes from when children dressed in costumes on All Souls’ Day and went from house to house begging for soul cakes.
P3. Another popular activity Halloween parties is bobbing for apples. One person at a time must get an apple out of a tub of a water without using his hands and only by sinking his or her face into water and biting the apple. The party may start or end with a Halloween costumes parade, wherein those with the best or scariest costumes receive prizes. Telling scary stories or “ghost” stories while huddled together by candlelight or around a fire outside is one of the highlights of Halloween night. Any story will do, but it must be spoken in s low, tense voice and reach a startling climax.
T. After Halloween people in Great Britain celebrate a funny holiday- Christmas. Christmas is one of the most favorite holidays. What do you know about Christmas?
P1. Christmas is a special time when we wish you and your families love, health, and happiness. And lasting peace throughout the world. The American celebrate Christmas on 25th of December. As you know, Christmas is a religious holiday. Families come together to share their happiness, attend church and exchange gifts.
P2. The Christmas story comes from the Bible. It tells us an interesting story of shepherds who were watching their sheep when an angel appeared to them. He told them that a Saviour had been born in Bethlehem. The shepherds went there to see Jesus. The baby Jesus was born in a stable. His mother was the Virgin Mary and his father was Joseph.
P3. The Bible tells us how the Wise Men followed a star until it led them to Jesus. The Wise Men gave Jesus many gifts. Because of the birth of Jesus Christ, The Christians celebrate Christmas.

But at that time there was a kindly priest named valentine. He couldn’t agree with the emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly.
P2. St. Valentine’s Day, February 14, has been a customary day for choosing sweethearts and exchanging love –tokens from time immemorial. The method of choosing sweethearts on St. Valentine’s Day varied in different times and places. It could be a serious matter leading to marriage, or it could be a kind of game. Countless generations of young people have acknowledged St. Valentine’s Day as the friend and patron of lovers.
P3 One of the early symbols of love is Cupid, the Roman God of Love, who is represented as a young boy with a bow and arrow. There are a lot of traditions of celebrating St. Valentine’s Day in different country. This is one of the ways how the English girls get to know their fortunes on St. Valentine’s Eve. They take an apple and out it four parts, count the seeds from the apple and find the fortune in the poem.
P4. One- I love, Two- I love,
Three- I love, I say.

Five – I cast away,
Six - he loves,
Seven-she loves,
Eight- they both love,
Nine – he comes,
Ten - he tarries,
Eleven- he courts,

P5. In Germany girls tried a different way of learning whom they would marry. They planted onions on St. Valentine’s Day. Each girl tagged onions in a corner heart the fireplace. She thought she would marry the man whose onion sprouted first.
