1.Introduction.

Teacher: Hello, boys and girls. Today we go on talking about holidays. I’m sure you know a lot about British and American holidays, don’t you?

Who doesn’t like holidays? Holidays usually mean not going to school or to work; they also mean nice food, presents and a lot of fun: singing, dancing, visiting friends and relatives, playing, walking and etc.

And today we’ll also know about one of the most favourite Russian holidays. The motto of our lesson is every country has its own customs and traditions. And for the lesson we’ll read the text, play a game and change opinions about holidays.

P1: I`d suggest to visit New Year`s Day.

T: Why? Explain, please.

P1: New Year is one of the favourite holidays in our country. This day is always connected with our news hopes and dreams. It is a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year`s Eve. Everyone hopes that next year will be better that the last one. It is a tradition to celebrate New Year`s Day on the first of January. Each family prepares for this holiday beforehand. My father buys and brings home a beautiful New Year`s Tree at the end of December. I like to decorate it with toys, coloured lights, sweets and a big star on the top. My mother prepares our holiday supper, my grandmother makes a tasty cake. We like to see the New Year in at home with our relatives. They come to see us at 11 in the evening. At 12 o `clock we are sitting at the table and we are glad to see the New Year in. We say “Best wishes for the New Year”. I like this happy and gay holiday.

T: What holidays do the Russian people celebrate in January? (Christmas, Old New Year’s Eve, Epiphany)

Christmas – tide is the period from January 7, till January 19 (the Epiphany). It was establishes by the Church in honour of the birth and baptism of Jesus Christ. At this period people used to walk wearing fancy costumes and singing carols, they went from house to house giving and receiving gifts and treats.

Пришла Коляда, накануне Рождества,
Дайте коровку, масляну головку!
На окне стоит, на меня глядит
Подайте блины, будет печь гладка.
Коляда, Коляда, подай пирога!
Блин да лепешку в заднее окошко!
