SPEAKING
Teacher ›› Pupils
Let’s restore ([rɪˈstɔː] восстана
́
вливать) the story of the birth of Jesus Christ together.
There are 4 groups of you.
The information in your papers №3 will help you.
burned a star
the birth of saviour
fit out of an expedition

the chief priests and scholars of Israel
The Messiah
In Bethlehem

set out eastward, homeward

Christmas is the time when people “open their shut-up hearts”.
It’s the time of harmony, peace and mercy ([ˈməːsɪ] милосе
́
рдие), love to other people and
forgiveness ([fəˈgɪvnɪs] проще
́
ние).
Our beliefs are as varied as we are, that’s why a civilized modern man treats other people’s
beliefs with respect, rejecting only those, which are immoral or lead to illegal action.
Every nation has its own way.
You know we can’t blame ([bleɪm] n вина
́
; to blame sb for sth вини
́
ть кого
́
-н в чём-н)
Moses, Buddha, Mohammed [mυ'hᴂməd] or Jesus for terrorist actions in India, Jerusalem or
military actions in Ukraine.
What do we need in our complicated world?
I think we are to be tolerant and respectful to all religions and remember that we are people.
OK, we are having our lesson on the threshold ([ˈθreʃhəʊld] преддверие) of Christmas.
I think it’s high time to be happy.
Let me congratulate all of us with the New Year & Christmas. My present is the traditional
Christmas song “Twelve Days of Christmas”.
Thank you very much for the lesson.
I hope the spirit of it will be with you at Christmas time.
Your marks:
Your home task is: make a project.

Culture is a part of our life.
