Christmas pudding made of fruits. Over the end of the bed people hang stockings. Children believe that Santa Claus will come down the chimney and fill the stockings with presents. A carrot for the reindeer is usually left on fireplace.
P2: I’m from Russia. The first 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 a Snow Maiden to come and give them a present. Many people think New Year’s Day to be a family. 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.
T.: Thank you for your interesting stories. The second group will tell us about other holidays- they are: Maslenitsa and Easter.
Слайд № 3
P3: People in Russia have many traditions. One of them is Maslenitsa. On this holiday people say good- bye to winter. In some regions people burn the figure of the winter. People in both countries cook pancakes with honey or sour- cream, they sing songs and dance. In England this holiday is celebrated in a different way.
Слайд № 4
P4: Easter is a Christmas holy day in March, April or May when Christmas and his return to life. At Easter people in both countries usually exchange dyed eggs and go to the church.
The Easter Bunny in England is to Easter what Santa Claus is to Christmas. The Easter Bunny has usually a basket of eggs. The East Bunny colors eggs for young children to find on Easter morning. Another symbol of Easter is the white lily, or Easter lily.
T.: Thank you. The next group of pupils will tell us about Women’s day and Victory day- they are celebrated in both countries in Russia and in Great Britain. Are these holidays celebrated in the same way? Listen to your classmates.
Слайд № 5

They try to clean flats and to cook a holiday dinner. Songs 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 Mother’s Day and celebrated also in spring flowers and cakes are the traditional gifts for all women in England. All women try to be nice and happy on this day.
Слайд № 6

Tea waskept in special containers called tea- caddies, often with a lock. Nowdays, tea- drinking became a fashion able social ritual. That’s why there are a lot of gardens in London, where people could walk in the afternoon and enjoy a cup of tea with bread and butter and cakes.
