ІІ. Вступне слово вчителя.

Teacher: Every nation and every country has its own traditions and holidays. In Great Britain, America and in Ukraine traditions play very important role in the life of people.

We have many holidays in Ukraine but I would like to tell about the main of them. First it is the New Year. It is my favourite holiday. It is merry to decorate the New Year Tree, to dance near it and to receive presents. Then in a week there is Christmas. In Ukraine it is an old and popular holiday. In the morning boys go from house to house, from flat to flat, sing traditional holiday songs and wish everything good to the people they visit. The people give them sweets, cakes and money. The 8th of March is the Women's Day. We give presents to our mothers, grandmothers, teachers, sisters and girl-friends and wish everything good to them. On the 1st of May we celebrate May Day. On the 9th of May we have Victory Day. It is a great holiday. In spring we have one more traditional holiday. It is Easter. Usually people bake cakes and paint and color eggs for the holiday. On the 24th of August we celebrate Independence Day. The 1st of September is a holiday for everybody who studies. Each holiday is interesting in its way but all of them are good and merry. We have a lot of beautiful popular traditions, and now let's watch an episode about some holiday.

Дискусія свята. Вчитель ставить запитання.

Teacher: What holiday is it? When do we celebrate this holiday? Who can tell me about this holiday?

Pupil 1. The period from the 7th until the 14th of January is Saint Christmas week. During this week people go from one house to another, singing songs and wishing good wishes to health, prosperity, etc. and just having a good time. Most usually are dressed in folksy or carnival type costumes. Such activity is called "Kolyaduvannya" and "Schedruvannya". The songs are called "kolyadky" and "schedrivky". When somebody is singing these songs and greeting you, as a rule you should give them sweets or food or drinks or whatever you have as a token of appreciation. . It is believed that everything that the people have sung in their Kolyadka and Schedrivka will come true.

Teacher: Now look at the screen and match the holidays with the symbols.

Вчитель роздає учням картки, на яких вони повинні поєднати свята з символами.

ІІІ. Розмовна практика.

Учні по черзі розповідають про свята.

Pupil 1. . The most popular of the holidays is the New Year Day; it is celebrated on the 1^st of January. On the eve of the holiday children and their parents decorate a New Year's Tree with shining balls and other Christmas ornaments. The mothers of the families prepare holiday dinners. Children receive their presents under the New Year Tree on the morning of the 1st of January. The main folk heroes of this holiday are Father Frost (Did Moroz) and his grand-daughter "Sniguron'ka" (The Snow Girl).

Pupil 2. Easter is another great religious festival: usually it is celebrated on one of Sundays in spring. On that day the religious people go to church and listen to the service. Usually they bring with them baskets with food – Easter cakes, butter, cheese and, of course, painted eggs. The traditional greeting on this day is: "Khrystos Voskres!" (Christ is arisen) and the answer "Voyistynu Voskres!"

Pupil 3. The 8^th of March is a happy and nice holiday. Each family celebrates this spring holiday. In the morning men go to the shops to buy some flowers. They try to clean flats and to cook a holiday dinner. In 1910 at the International Conference of Women Socialists in Copenhagen, Clara Tsetkin proposed celebrating the International Women's day on March, 8th which sounded an appeal to all women of the world to join in the struggle for equality.

Pupil 4. The Orthodox Ukrainian people celebrate Christmas on January, 6: the evening before Christmas is called the Holly Evening. On the Holly Evening all the families get together to have the Christmas Supper. According to the religious tradition, it is necessary to prepare 12 different dishes because of 12 apostles; no one at the table can eat till the first star appears in the sky. On the Christmas Evening the religious people go to the church; some of them spend the whole night – they pray and listen to Christmas religious songs.

Pupil 5. 9 May — Victory Day.
This is a holiday of both joy and sorrow. A great tribute is bestowed to those who gave their lives during World War II resulting in today's peace and happiness. The eternal memory of those lost will last forever throughout the generations. Veterans gather together remembering those who perished.

Pupil 6. The Day of knowledge is the first day when the students come to school after long summer vacations and new schooling year begins. It also called the First Bell. It symbolizes the beginning of school. In Ukraine we celebrate this holiday on the first of September. The students of school gather in the school yard and have a grand meeting. We congratulate each other and our teachers with the beginning of the school year.
