Leader 2: (Идёт в зал с микрофоном.) Please, who wants to answer?
P1: Nowadays it’s very necessary to know a foreign language. Knowledge of foreign language helps us to develop friendship and understanding among people.
Leader 2: Thanks. Who else wants to answer?
P2: I study English, because I want to read English books of great writers in the original. I want to communicate with people from different countries; I want to understand their culture and traditions.
Leader 2: Thank you.
P3: English is very popular now. It’s the language of computers, science, business, sport and politics. It’s spoken all over the world.

Welcome to Ireland, one of the English-speaking countries, which is situated in the British Isles, “the Emerald Isle” as poets say. The country full of mystery with a wide area of splendid moorland scenery, meadows, valleys, lakes and rivers, very few forests, changeable weather, legends about Leprechauns and of course St. Patrick’s Day. The person who was to become St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales about AD 385. It is believed that he converted Ireland to Christianity. He used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. That’s why shamrock now is the symbol of the country. It was he who helped Ireland to get rid of snakes. St. Patrick's Festival is now by far the biggest annual event in the country providing entertainment for all interests and ages.
The Festival programme has music, theatre, family carnivals, comedy, street arts, visual arts, dance, a treasure hunt, 4000 performers - 1.5 million spectators and 5 days of fantastic festival fun for all! St. Patrick would be very proud! Let us see how it is held up now in the capital of Ireland – Dublin.
(Выходят участники парада на День Св. Патрика под музыку с барабанами, шарами, ирландской символикой. Учащиеся рассказывают стихи, и выбегает мальчик, переодетый в лепрекона. Один из учащихся пытается поймать лепрекона, он убегает за кулисы. В заключении под ирландскую музыку исполняется танец.)
Leader 1: Neznaika! Have you heard that Wales and Scotland also are members of British kingdom? Let’s have a look in these pages. Pupils from schools № 3, 5 and 9 will continue our festival.

Welcome to Wales. It is a small country, bounded on the north and west by Irish Sea and on the south by the Bristol Channel. Cardiff is the modern capital of Wales.
Leader 2: Though Scotland is a part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland it still remains an individual country with its own traditions, customs, history and the way of life. In one word, Scotland is not England at all. It is a country with an unique culture full of ancient legends, bright contrasts and mysterious castles. Secrets and mystery always appear immediately when you open a book about Scotland.
