IV. Guess what holiday it is. Fill in the table. (Учащимся предлагается
прочитать мини-тексты и определить название праздника)
1) For more British families, this holiday is the most important festival of the year. It
combines the celebration the birth of Christ and the traditional festivities of winter. On the
Sunday before churches hold carol services. Carol singers can be heard on the street as
they collect money for charity. People decorate their houses with a holly wreath and put a
fir tree. Children find presents in their stockings.
2) There is a lot of dancing, eating and fireworks. Before the holiday people write the
«resolutions» (the list of the things should be made next year). On this day people usually
visit their friends. In Scotland they bring a piece of coal for good luck.
3) This holiday means «holy evening». At parties people dress up in strange costumes
and pretend they are witches. People make up lamps of pumpkins and other
vegetables. Some children dress in white sheets, knock on doors and ask if you would like a
«trick or treat». If you give them some money or some sweets, a «treat», they go away. If
not, they play a «trick» on you, such as making a lot of noise or splashing water in your
face!
4) People send cards to people they love. They should not write their names on the
cards. Those who get them must guess who sent them.
5) The name of this holiday comes from “Eostre”, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring.
Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, many people celebrate the beginning
of spring. This holiday is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring.
That’s why it’s on a different date each year.
People dye eggs in various colours. Bunnies, chicks, lambs and flowers are
associated with it because they are born in the spring.
Egg rolling game is very popular in Wales.
6) The English celebrate this holiday by burning a dummy, made of straw and old
clothes, on a bonfire, at the same time letting of fireworks. This dummy is called a «gu
and children can often be seen on the pavements saying «Penny for the guy». If they collect
enough money they can buy some fireworks.
7) It is the next day after Christmas. It`s time to receive presents for friends and
relatives, a shopping holiday, the day for different sport events and hunting.
8) We are glad and very gay.
We all dance and sing and say:
«Merry, merry, ____________ Day!»
10) Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said: «It’s getting late!»
