- Look at the blackboard. There are some lines on it. I’d like you to repeat
them after me, first – slowly, then faster and faster.
On the board: Hurray! Hurray! We’re on our holiday.
Fantastic life, no work, all play
On our holiday
There’s lots to do and friends who say
Forget your books, that’s quite OK,
On our holiday.
- Now I am going to take some words away and you try to say the line without
them. Let’s train your memory.
III. – Look at the lines once more and try to guess what we are going to
speak about. (Holidays).
- Who can give us the definition of the word ‘Holiday’? What does it mean?
- Where does it come from?
Sample answer: Holiday is a day on which people lay aside there ordinary
duties and cares. The word comes from the Anglo-Saxon ‘holing doeg’ or ‘holy
day’ (святой день). At first holidays honored some sacred (священный) events
or a holy person.
- There are also a lot of feast and festivals. What do you know about them?
Sample answer: Feast and festivals are special times of celebration. Most of
them take once a year and may last one ore more days. Many feasts and
festivals honour great leaders, saints, gods or spirits. Others celebrate a harvest,
the beginning of the season or a year, or the anniversary of a historical event.
During some feasts and festivals adults stay away from there job, and children
stay home from school. Some people celebrate happy events by decorating their
homes and streets, wearing special clothes. Many of these celebrations include
special meals, dancing parades.
- What colour do you associate with the word ‘holiday’? Why?
- Now I’d like you to classify all holidays into several groups according to
their description.
On the board: Historical
Professional Days of remembrance
Holidays
Personal Public
Religious
- For example, what kind of holiday can wedding and birthday belong to?
IV. - What British holidays do you know? (New year, Mother’s day,
Thanksgiving day, Christmas, Easter, St. Valentine, April day,
Halloween).
- Now chose only one holiday and try to draw a picture to depict the holiday.
- Hand in your picture, please. Let’s guess what holiday on your pictures.
- Now I’d like you to choose the only word, the most suitable word to express
the main idea of each holiday. For example, for Thanksgiving day it is
harvest.
On the board: Christmas - birth
Easter - resurrection
St. Valentine Day - love, devotion
Mother’s day - love, helping
April day - joke
V. – At home you had to find the information about celebration of different
holidays. Now I’d like you to imagine that you are going to appear on a
radio programme. Some of you will be reporters, some of you will be
interviewers. The reporter asks the interviewer how he/she usually
celebrate the holiday. Choose only one holiday and prepare a
conversation. Work in pares.

holidays, but we didn’t touch one more holiday. I didn’t ask you to find
