There are a number of holidays, which are celebrated in Great Britain every year.

One of them is, of course, the New Year’s Day on the first of January. It is not so popular in England as in our country, but it is rather popular in Scotland. On that day people usually visit their friends and there is a lot of dancing and eating. In Scotland people bring a piece of coal for good luck in the New Year.

The next holiday of the year is St. Valentine’s Day. It is on the 14th of February. People buy or make Valentine cards and send them to the people they love.

In March there is Mother’s Day. All the children and adults, come to their mothers on that day to express their love and gratitude.

In April there is Easter. At Easter children eat chocolate Easter eggs. Sometimes parents hide them in the house or in the garden and children have to look for them.

In June there is Father’s Day. On Father’s Day children give or send their fathers and grandfathers cards and presents.

On the 31st of October there is a Halloween. They say ghosts and witches come out on Halloween. People make lanterns out of pumpkins. Some people have Halloween parties and dress as witches and ghosts.

In England, Bonfire Night is associated with the tradition of celebrating the failure of Guy Fawkes’ actions on 5 ^th of November.In this day, people burn the dummy of Guy Fawkes, made of straw, on a bonfire.

The 25th of December is Christmas Day. It is one of the people’s favorite holidays. People put Christmas trees in their houses and decorate them. There are beautiful Christmas decorations in the streets. On Christmas Eve everybody puts the presents under the Christmas tree. People say that at night Father Christmas puts presents into the stockings which children usually hang above their beds. The traditional Christmas meal is roasted turkey and Christmas pudding. December the 26th is also a public holiday, Boxing Day, which takes its name from the old custom of giving workers an annual present in a Christmas box.

Олардың бірі, әрине, бірінші қаңтардың Жаңа жылы. Англияда бұл біздің елдегідей танымал емес, бірақ Шотландияда өте танымал. Бұл күні адамдар әдетте достарына барады, олар көп билейді және жейді. Шотландияда адамдар жаңа жылда сәттілікке көмір әкеледі.

Жылдың келесі мерекесі-Валентин күні. Бұл 14 ақпан. Адамдар Валентиналарды сатып алады немесе жасайды және оларды жақсы көретін адамдарға жібереді.

Маусым-Әкелер күні. Әкелер күнінде балалар әкелері мен аталарына ашықхаттар мен сыйлықтар береді немесе жібереді.

31 қазанда Хэллоуин тойланады. Айтады, ghosts мен мыстандар выходят на Хэллоуин. Адамдар асқабақ шамдарын жасайды. Кейбір адамдар Хэллоуин кештерін өткізіп, сиқыршылар мен елестер сияқты киінеді.

Англияда оттың түні 5 қарашада Гай Фокстың сәтсіз әрекеттерін тойлау дәстүрімен байланысты. Бұл күні адамдар Гай Фокстың сабаннан жасалған манекенін отқа жағып жібереді.

25 желтоқсан-Рождество. Бұл адамдардың сүйікті мерекелерінің бірі. Адамдар шыршаларды үйлеріне салып, оларды безендіреді. Көшеде әдемі Рождестволық әшекейлер бар. Рождество қарсаңында барлығы шыршаның астына сыйлықтар қояды. Адамдар түнде аяз ата сыйлықтарды балалар әдетте төсектерінің үстіне іліп қоятын шұлықтарға салады дейді. Рождестволық дәстүрлі тағам-қуырылған күркетауық және рождестволық пудинг. 26 желтоқсан — бұл мемлекеттік мереке, сыйлықтар күні, ол ескі дәстүрден өз атын алды қызметкерлерге Рождестволық қорапта жыл сайынғы сыйлық беру.

Конспект урока:

1. Организация группы (2 мин.)

Учитель здоровается со студентами и присутствующими гостями, беседует с дежурным:

Good morning, students! Good morning our guests!

You may take your seats!

I am glad to see and greet you all at the lesson again. Our today’s lesson is unusual because we have guests here. They would like to see our work and how you know English. But you do not worry, but be careful and active, and you will succeed.

And now I want to know who is on duty today?

Are all the students present or is anybody absent?

What is the date and the week day today?

Thank you very much, you may sit down.

2. Актуализация темы, вступительное слово преподавателя (4 мин.)

Before we start a new topic of today’s lesson, please tell me, what is the name of our main theme?

Student — Our main theme is called “Great Britain”.

-Yes, you’re right. We have already known a lot about this country: its geographical position, industry, its political system. Our last lesson was focused on the British holidays and we learned some of them. Today we shall continue to talk about them but more widely, because our lesson will be devoted to the customs and traditions of Great Britain.

We have a lot of work to do today. We shall learn and practice new words, read and listen to a lot of information on our topic and of course we shall do a lot of different exercises and tasks.

This is what we shall do at the lesson today.

The proverb says: “So many countries, so many customs”. Every country and nation has its own traditions and customs. They are part of people’s culture and history. They make a nation special. It is very important to know customs and traditions of different peoples, especially if you want to know their language. We can’t say that we know English if we don’t know English traditions. Besides, they are very important in the life of English people. The British are proud of their traditions and keep them carefully. To know customs and traditions means to understand better the people and their culture. That’s why we are going to know more about them today.

(Слайды № 1-2)

Read the text:

Customs and traditions of Great Britain

The British created a powerful Empire with a successful economy, culture, the preservation of

their traditions. Traditions of Great Britain is the basis of their culture. Great Britain is considered to be one of the most democratic countries, but the British life continues to be determined by the old traditions. That’s why even the most strange and old English traditions affect modern daily life. There is the long menu of traditional British food. There are many royal occasions. There are songs, saying and superstitions. English traditions can be classified into several groups: national holidays, religious holidays, Royal traditions and public festivals.

What about royal occasions? There are numerous of them in Britain. One of the most interesting royal traditions is, for example, the changing of the guard. This happens every day at Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s home in London. Soldiers stand in front of the palace. Each morning these soldiers (the «guard») change. One group leaves and another arrives. In summer and winter tourists stand outside the palace at 11.30 every morning and watch the Changing of the Guard.

Traditionally the Queen opens Parliament every autumn. The Queen travels from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament in a gold carriage the Irish State Coach. At the Houses of Parliament the Queen sits on a “throne” in the House of Lords. Then she reads the “Queen’s Speech”. At the State Opening of Parliament the Queen wears a crown.

The Queen is the only person in Britain with two birthdays. Her real birthday is on April 21st, but she has an «official» birthday, too. That’s on the second Saturday in June. And on the Queen’s official birthday, there is a traditional ceremony called the Trooping of the Colour. It’s a big parade with brass bands and hundreds of soldiers at Horse Guards’ Parade in London. A «regiment» of the Queen’s soldiers, the Guards, march in front of her. At the front of the parade is the regiment’s flag or «colour». The Guards are trooping the colour. Thousands of Londoners and visitors watch in Horse Guards’ Parade. And millions of people at home watch it on television.

Another interesting tradition is The Queen’s telegram. This custom is not very old, but it’s for very old people. On his or her one hundredth birthday, a British person gets a telegram from the Queen.

The registration for young Royal swans appeared in the 12th century. There is a very special royal tradition. Nine centuries, every year in July on the Thames there are special boats with the Royal emblem. The purpose of the expedition to count – how many new swans appeared in the property of Her Majesty. The name of this strange but interesting custom is Swan Upping.

There are also many different festivals in Britain. The Edinburgh international arts festival takes place in the Scottish capital every August and lasts almost a month. It also presents theatre, Opera, dance and music, concerts of classical, orchestral, vocal music, dance shows, ballets. This festival is listed in the Guinness book of records as the largest in the world. Another great festival, a truly Welsh event is the Eisteddfod, a national festival of traditional poetry and music, with a competition for the best new poem in Welsh.

Traditions of everyday life of English people are also worth our attention. For example, talking about the weather. The British talk about the weather a lot because it changes so often. The British are also considered to be great tea lovers. Traditional tea time in England is late afternoon, when world-famous 5 o’clock tea is served. Five o’clock tea is a ceremony, a work of art. But tea is also drunk in the morning and during the day because the English believe it to be healthy and refreshing.

English people also have traditions in social life. They like to spend their free time in numerous pubs where they can have a glass of beer and talk about different things with their friends.

Thus Britain is full of traditions and customs. Some are funny and some are strange. But they are all interesting. They are all part of the British way of life.

Sabantuy is an ancient festival of the Turkic peoples. Nowadays it is a cheerful holiday held with national songs and dances, comic contests and sports.
The Sabantuy festival has more than a thousand−year history.
Traditions and ceremonies has changed over time, some of them disappeared, giving place to new ones. Today, traditionally district or city mayor opens Sabantuy with a welcoming speech, and the President of Tatarstan opens the main Sabantuy in Kazan. After the opening ceremony, the entertainment begins: performances of singers, dancers − both amateur and professional. Performances are replaced by a cascade of comic competitions for sportsmanship and strength, for example, various foot−races: sack−racing, race with water buckets on shoulder−yoke, racing with a spoon in the mouth, with an egg in spoon. Guests fight on a slippery log with sacks filled with hay; participate in a contest when competitors should break blindfolded a clay pot set on the ground, with a stick. Other popular games are tug−of−war, stick pulling, climbing on a high smooth post for the prize, which is fixed at the top. The prize may be a live rooster in a cage, boots and something else.
The most significant competition on Sabantuy was and still is a national wrestling on the belts «Koresh». The winner traditionally gets the most valuable prize of Sabantuy. Previously, the winner was given a live sheep, nowadays it can be a car or expensive home electronics.
Contests of singers, dancers and reciters are held on Maidan − the area of the feast, master classes in national crafts are held there, too. Usual time of Maidan is from 10−11 a.m. till 2−3 p.m. One can buy sweets and treats there, including national sweets, have tea from samovars.
Sabantuy in Tatarstan has the status of a national holiday and is held in every municipal district and settlement of the republic. Edicts and decisions on the preparation, terms and locations are issued, and organizing committees are appointed from top−ranking officials. Annually hundreds of thousands of residents and guests of the republic take part in the festival as organizers, artists, athletes and spectators.

Перевод ответа

Сабантуй − древний праздник тюркских народов. В наши дни это веселый праздник с народными песнями и танцами, шуточными конкурсами и спортом.
Фестиваль Сабантуй имеет более чем тысячелетнюю историю.
Традиции и обряды со временем изменились, некоторые из них исчезли, уступив место новым. Сегодня традиционно с приветственной речью открывает Сабантуй мэр района или города, а Президент Татарстана открывает главный Сабантуй в Казани. После церемонии открытия начинается развлечение: выступления певцов, танцоров − как любительских, так и профессиональных. Выступления сменяются каскадом юмористических соревнований на спортивное мастерство и силу, например, различные пешие скачки: бег на мешках, гонка с ведрами на коромысле, скачки с ложкой во рту, с яйцом в ложке. Гости сражаются на скользком бревне с мешками с сеном; участвовать в соревновании, когда участники должны разбить палкой глиняный горшок, поставленный на землю, с завязанными глазами. Другие популярные игры − это перетягивание каната, перетягивание клюшки, лазание по высокому гладкому столбу за призом, который закреплен наверху. Приз может быть живым петухом в клетке, сапогами и еще чем−нибудь.
Самым значительным соревнованием на Сабантуе была и остается национальная борьба на поясах «Корэш». Победитель традиционно получает самый ценный приз Сабантуя. Раньше победителю дарили живую овцу, теперь это может быть машина или дорогая бытовая техника.
На Майдане − площади праздника, проходят конкурсы певцов, танцоров и чтецов, проходят мастер−классы по народным промыслам. Обычное время Майдана − с 10−11 до 14:00. Здесь можно купить сладости и угощения, в том числе национальные сладости, попить чай из самоваров.
Сабантуй в Татарстане имеет статус национального праздника и проводится в каждом муниципальном районе и поселке республики. Издаются указы и решения о подготовке, сроках и местах проведения, оргкомитеты назначаются из числа высокопоставленных чиновников. Ежегодно сотни тысяч жителей и гостей республики принимают участие в фестивале в качестве организаторов, артистов, спортсменов и зрителей.
