Ход урока.
T: Good morning, boys and girls. I am glad to see you. Children, we have talked a lot about the USA and Great Britain. We have spoken about the political systems in those countries, about big cities, about the population, nature, geography, but it seems to me, we haven’t spoken enough about national holidays and traditions.
At this lesson some of you will tell us about Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, St.Valentine’s Day, about Easter, Mother’s Day, about Independence Day in the USA and other holidays and traditions. Let’s begin with New Year’s Day.
P1: The first of January is New Year’s Day. Many parties are given on this night. The theatres, night clubs and restaurants are crowded. When midnight comes, everyone at the party stops, whatever they have been doing to greet the new year.
The favourite song at the New Year’s Eve party is “ Auld Lang Syne”. It was written by Robert Burns. The merry- makers always sing part of it. (Учащиеся поют песню.)

T: Thank you. And do you know who decorated the first Christmas tree? Listen to my story and try to understand it.
-No one knows for sure. The custom of bringing an evergreen tree indoors and decorating it at Christmas started in Germany. One legend says that Martin Luther started the practice. Luther was an important Christian leader. According to the story, he noticed the starlit sky as he walked home one Christmas Eve about the year 1513. He thought the stars looked as if they were shining on the branches. When Martin Luther arrived home he placed a small fir-tree inside the house. He decorated it with lighted candles.
Decorating Christmas trees became popular in Germany. Prince Albert took the tradition to England. Both German and English people brought it to America.
T: And now will you tell me in Russian how the tradition of decorating Christmas trees appeared.

The Little Fir-Tree.
A little fir-tree lived in the forest. It had leaves like long green needles. It was a pretty little tree, but it was not happy. One day it said,”I do not like needles. My needles are hard. The birds will not nest in them. All the other trees have leaves. I wish I had green leaves.
The next day, when the little tree woke up, it had green leaves. It was just like the other trees. “Now I am happy”, it said. But a goat came and ate all the green leaves. “Oh!” said the fir-tree, “I wish I had gold leaves. Goats do not eat gold leaves.”
The next day, when the little tree woke up, it had gold leaves. But a man came , took all the gold leaves and put them into a bag. “Oh!” said the fir-tree. “I wish I had glass leaves. Nobody will want my glass leaves.”
The next day, when the little tree woke up, it had glass leaves. “How happy I am!” it said. See my leaves shine in the sun!”
But suddenly a strong wind began to blow, and broke all the glass leaves.
“Oh!”, said the fir-tree. “I wish I had the needles again. Goats do not eat them. Men do not want them The wind will not break them. The next day it had all its needles again. “Oh, I was never so happy!” said the little fir-tree.
Will you tell me what proverb shows the contest of the story better?
1 .To be in the 7th heaven.
2. To exchange a cuckoo for a hawk.
3. To be in someone’s shoes (skin).

T: Good of you. Now, a few words about Santa in Russian.
P1: Самый популярный рождественский герой- Санта Клаус. Его имя произошло от голландского Синтерклас- Святой Николай. Это был богатый человек, известный своей щедростью. Каждое рождество он делал подарки. Это стало традицией.
Американцы дали Санта Клаусу сани и упряжку северных оленей, на которых он развозит подарки. У каждого оленя есть свое имя.
Р2: Где же живет Санта Клаус? Унего есть два дома в Америке: вТоррингтоне, штат Коннектикут, есть Рождественская деревня. В Виллингтоне,штат Нью-Йорк, около горы Вайтфейс построен дом для Санта Клауса.
В Америке есть городок, называемый Санта Клаус. Все письма, адресованные Санта Клаусу , приходят туда (более 3 миллионов каждый год).
