Little bell unchanged in calling.
Peals my heath with constant stuns.

P1: Happy New Year.

New Year is one of the favourite holidays in our country. This day is always connected with our news hopes and dreams. It is a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year`s Eve. Everyone hopes that next year will be better that the last one. It is a tradition to celebrate New Year`s Day on the first of January. Each family prepares for this holiday beforehand. My father buys and brings home a beautiful New Year`s Tree at the end of December. I like to decorate it with toys, coloured lights, sweets and a big star on the top. My mother prepares our holiday supper, my grandmother makes a tasty cake. We like to see the New Year in at home with our relatives. They come to see us at 11 in the evening. At 12 o `clock we are sitting at the table and we are glad to see the New Year in. We say «Best wishes for the New Year». I like this happy and gay holiday.

T: Natasha, what about your family?

P2: (Ученица рассказывает о праздновании Нового Года в своей семье).

T: In Britain the New Year is not as widely celebrated as in Russia. Some people ignore it completely and go to bed at usual time. Others have a New Year`s party.

P3: I `d like to add that the favourite song at a New Year` s Eve party in Britain is «Auld Lang Syne». It was written by Robert Burns, the famous Scottish folk poem. The song is popular with all people who speak English as a native tongue, and the singing of it at the beginning of the New Year is an established custom in the United States.

T: Our next tradition is not only connected with our childhood.

P1: A good time is coming, I wish it were here. The very best time in the whole of the year.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day,
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on Earth, good will to men.

P2: On December,24, Christmas Eve, Santa hitches his eight reindeers to a sleigh and loads it is with presents. The reindeers pull him and his sleigh through the sky to deliver presents to children all the world. Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. Santa – Claus is represented as a kindly man with a red cloak and a long white beard. He visited houses and left gifts, bringing people happiness in the coldest months of the year. The native land of Santa – Claus is Laplandia. The Russian Grand Father Frost lives in Veliki Ustyug. Every year thousands of children write the letters to Laplandia and Veliki Ustyug, because they want to get a present from Santa – Claus and Grand Father Frost.

P3: Christmas has a very long history. It`s a joyful religious holiday when Christians celebrate the birth

of Jesus Christ. The Christmas story comes from the Bible.

An angel appeared to shephends and told them that a Savior had been born by Mary and Joseph in stable in Bethlehem. Three Wise Men from the East (The Magi) followed a wondrous star which led them to the baby Jesus to whom they paid homage and presented gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

P4: I `d like to recite the poem: «Baby Jesus».

Born this night in Bethlehem,
Baby Jesus, tiny Child,
Alleluia, praise the King,
Baby Jesus born today.

Kneel before Him as He sleeps,
Baby Jesus, tiny child,
Al-le-lu-ia, praise the King
Baby Jesus born today.

Worship Him, our Savior`s come,
Baby Jesus, tiny child,
Al-le-lu-ia, praise the King,
Baby Jesus born today.

Блин да лепешку в заднее окошко!

Из полузерна – пирог.
Награди вас Господь
И житьем и бытьем!
