poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have
written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a "light" Scots
dialect
He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a
great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism. Robert Burns is a
cultural icon of Scotland and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature.
R.Burns's lyrical poems are popular as songs all over the world.

Read some more facts of his biography. When Robert was 25 years old, his father died and he
became the head of the family. Burns was a handsome, dark-haired young lad. He also
spent nights out drinking Scotch whisky and flirting with the ladies. Burns often fell in
love and had a lot of love affairs. (слайд 5 )
Robert Burns was born on 25 January, 1759 in Scotland,
the son of a poor farmer William Burns and his wife Agnes
Broun. The Burns family lived in a cottage that William himself had built.
Young Robert and his brothers worked the fields with their father. He and his
younger brother Gilbert also attended the local school. Burns read many
classic Greek, English and Scottish literary works. He also studied the Bible,
French, Latin, arithmetic, geography, and history, and his childhood nurse
Betty Davidson is said to have introduced him to the world of Scottish
folklore. Robert became fond of reading. Burns began to write
poems when he was a teenager. His first love song "Handsome
Nell" was dedicated to the girl who helped him in the harvest
fields. He also composed verses to the melodies of old folk-songs.
Around the age of twenty-five Burns fell in love with Jean Armour, to whom the poems “I love
my Jean” and “Bonie Jean” are addressed. It was a “love at first sight.” They wanted to marry, but
Jean’s father disapproved. Burn was a poor farmer and not good enough for his daughter.
In 1786 he published his first collection of Poems, in Scottish Dialect. It was a great success.
He became well known and popular.
In 1788 Robert and Jean finally married and settled down on the farm Ellisland in
Dumfriesshire. Unfortunately he wasn’t a successful farmer.
Robert fell in love with Jean Armour as she was the most beautiful girl in the village. Jean had a
beautiful voice. Robert Burns composed many songs for her. She sang his songs with great
pleasure. In his poems R.Burns wrote about true love and friendship. Robert Burns devoted to
Jean many beautiful poems. Let’s read some of these poems. (слайд 7-9 ) He often wrote with
light-hearted humor. The lyrics of the song are simple but effective. ( слайд 7 «Comin' Thro The
Rye» )
You know that it is difficult to translate poems from one language into another. It’s necessary to
find a rhyme and rhythm because the structure of languages is different.
R. Burns’s poems were translated into different languages and Russian as well. S.Y. Marshak
(Russian poet) is considered to be the best Russian translator of Burns’s poems. Let’s read the
translation of the poem. It is well known as a traditional children’s song, with the words put to the
national Scottish melody. (слайд 7 “Пробираясь до калитки…” )
The next song is one of the most famous love songs. Robert Burns wrote the poem «My
Love is like a red, red rose» for his beloved and to this day red roses are considered to be
the symbol of St.Valentine Day, the Day of lovers. (cлайд 8 )
Burns had a deep love for Scotland, its history and folklore. In many of his poems Burns sings the
glorious past of his native land. He spoke of what he saw, of the woods, the fields, the valleys, the
deer, of the hare and the small field mouse, of the farmer's poor cottage home. (слайд 9,11 )
It is easy to note that major part of themes and problems in the different national literature are
much alike. For example the theme of Motherland. Poet expressed the common to all people feeling
of love to Motherland. His feelings are sad, he wrote about people who fight for the freedom and will
never come back. ( слайд 12 ).
He transformed a dialect of Scottish peasantry into high poetry. Burns is a democratic poet. His
sympathy was with the poor people. For better understanding R. Burns’s poetry let’s read one more
poem in Russian. The translation was made by Russian poet and translator S.Marshak.
( слайд 13 )
( слайд 14 ) Robert Burns's poems were very popular, but he always remained poor. He worked
hard and destroyed his health. He died in poverty at the age of thirty - seven in 1796. His funeral was
attended by a crowd of ten thousand. They were the common Scottish people whom he had loved
and for whom he had written his poems and songs.
The Royal Mail has issued postage stamps commemorating Burns three times.
Burns is pictured on the £5 banknote (since 1971) On the reverse of the note there is a picture of a
field mouse and a wild rose which refers to Burns' poem “To a Mouse”.
Robert Burns' statue is now portrayed on the reverse side of new £5.
( слайд 15 ) For Scotsmen Robert Burns is a symbol of national pride. They celebrate his birthday as
a national holiday. Read a story and do the exercise. Remember some grammar - Passive voice.
( слайд 18 ) Listen to the song and try to sing.
( слайд 19 ) The poetry and songs of Robert Burns are famous all over the world. He took part in
creating a book of old Scottish folk-songs, writing words for many melodies. Robert Burns's poems
and verses inspired Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Sviridov and other composers who wrote
music to them. Some modern pop-musicians also wrote songs with his poems. For example we can
listen to our famous Russian musician Alexander Gradskiy with the song “В полях под снегом и
дождем” or Moldavian group «Zdob Si Zdub» with the song “Ты меня оставила” . Songs with his
words are widely sung all over the world, but do you know that….?
(слайд 20 ) … words for the famous song “Про кого-то…” from the film «Служебный роман» were
also written by Robert Burns.
( слайд 21 ) ….. words for the famous song «Любовь и бедность» from the film "Здравствуйте,
я ваша тётя!" were also written by Robert Burns.

loved and for whom he had written his songs and poems. R.Burns had a good sense of humor.
