а) Розповідь учителя.
T: «The Star-Spangled Banner» is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from «Defence of Fort McHenry», a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men’s social club in London. «The Anacreontic Song» (or «To Anacreon in Heaven»), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key’s poem and renamed «The Star-Spangled Banner», it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song.
«The Star-Spangled Banner» was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931.

Listen and read the American anthem and answer the questions: — What American symbol is the anthem of the USA devoted to? — Why is the American flag called «The Star-Spangled Banner»? — Find the words and phrases describing the American flag. — What values and ideals are glorified in the anthem? THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: ’Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: «In God is our trust». And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! |

THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES
The United States is a federal union of 50 states, with the District of Columbia as the seat of the national government. The Constitution outlines the structure of the national government and specifies its powers and activities. Other governmental activities are the responsibility of the individual states, which have their own constitutions and laws.
The President is the head of the state; he is chosen in a national election for a four-year term and may be re-elected for a second term. He must be a native-born citizen, at least 35 years old. His salary is $200,000 a year, and he also gets an extra $50,000 for expenses; but he must pay income tax on the whole amount. He receives up to $100,000 tax-free for travel and $20,000 for official entertainment, and is provided a home and extensive office space at the White House.
The Constitution divides the powers of the government into three branches — the executive, headed by the President; the legislative, which includes both houses of Congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives); and the judicial, which is represented by the system of courts headed by the Supreme Court. The Constitution limits the role of each branch to prevent any one branch from gaming undue power.
As head of the executive branch, the President must carry out the government programmes enacted into law by Congress. He recommends programmes and laws to Congress and requests money for federal government operations. The President appoints federal judges, ambassadors and hundreds of government officials, and assigns duties to the elected Vice President. If a President dies, resigns or becomes permanently disabled, the Vice President assumes the office until the next election.
