Тeacher: Good afternoon, boys! How are you? I am glad to see you. Sit down, please! -Who is on duty today? -What the date is it today? -Who is absent today? Teacher: Good afternoon, boys. Sit down, please. Today we will have an unusual lesson, because we'll speak about Holidays, Traditions and Customs of the English-speaking countries. Besides, there are too many guests today in our class-room, that's why let's show them our language skills. The topic of our lesson today will be "English Holidays". Тeacher: So, every country and nation has their own traditions and customs. It's very important to know traditions and customs of different people, especially if we want to know their language. We can't say: " we know English", if we do not know English traditions. Besides, they are very important in the life of English people. They are proud of their traditions and keep them up carefully. That's why we are going to know more about British holidays today. Teacher: Before beginning our lesson, let’s make a little warm-up Teacher: As we know there are several holidays in the year.
