HAPPY
NEW YEAR
At midnight on 31st December, bells
ring out around the world to welcome the new year. Although certain countries
calculate time by other calendars, most countries in the world now number their
years according to the Gregorian calendar introduced in the 16th century by
Pope Gregory XIII.
Bell ringing is one way of
celebrating the arrival of a new year which is common to many countries
nowadays; but it is the differences in their celebrations and customs which are
interesting.
In Europe traditions are considerably different, but
most of them involve a meal or special food. Swiss housewives bake special
bread, rich in butter, eggs and raisins. They also cook roast goose. Children
go from house to house greeting the occupants and receiving invitations to come
inside. There is a practical reason for meals featuring in the New Year
festivities. Most people stay up all night, or at least until midnight to “see
the New Year in”, so food is essential. Also there is a common belief that if
the new year begins well it will continue like that. So great efforts are made
to provide an atmosphere of goodwill and plenty. In Spain it is a custom to eat
12 grapes at midnight and toast the new year in champagne at family gatherings.
Groups of friends visit restaurants in Turkey intending to spend the night in
celebrations which include present giving. Some people in Greece play cards,
hoping that a win will bring them luck for a whole year.
* * * * * * * *
The Old Year
is going out. These are its last few hours and very soon we shall be seeing it
out.
The streets are full of
people. The shops are attracting them like magnets. Grandfather Frost, or Santa
Claus, as he is called in English, is there in the shape of busy people
stuffing their bags and briefcases with New Year presents.
Looking at the lighted windows
we can see brilliantly decorated fir-trees, without which you can’t imagine the
New Year celebration.
Many young people are
against celebrating the New Year in-doors. They like to see the New Year in
somewhere out in the open and if by chance you happen to be at the railway-station
at this time you’ll see a forest of skis and crowds of merry, laughing people.
There are plenty of fir-trees
in the woods Just like the ones indoors, but with the moon behind them and
stars in place of candles.
But many families prefer
to see the New Year in at home with their friends and relatives. The clock
hands are creeping nearer and nearer towards midnight. Soon crowded buses and
taxis will be rushing from one end of the city to the other carrying people
visiting one another.
By this time the men and
children in the family will have laid the festive tables. Soon the best part of
the waiting will begin. The whole city will be standing round tables, holding
up glasses of champagne. Everyone will be waiting for the moment when the
Kremlin chimes will bid the Old Year good — bye. A happy New Year to one and
all!

VOCABULARY AND SPEECH EXERCISES
Ex. 1. a) Read the text:
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS AND CELEBRATIONS
IN ENGLAND
There are few public
holidays in England, that is days on which people need not go in to work.
Christmas, Boxing Day, Easter, Spring Bank Holiday, August Bank Holiday — there
the list ends.
Most of these holidays
are of religious origin, but for the greater part of the people they have long
lost their religious importance and are simply days, on which people eat, drink
and make merry.
Christmas is the most
colourful holiday of the year. An average English family sends many Christmas cards
and gives and receives many presents, they are usually very impractical. For
people who are well -to-do, it is not a problem, but it is very difficult for
families with small budgets.
In England the New Year is not so widely observed as
Christmas. But people, however, celebrate it in one way or another. The most
common type of celebration is a New Year party.
b) Say what information the text
gives about:
1. The number of public holidays in
England.
2. The observance of Christmas and New
Year’s Day in Great Britain.
c) Think and answer:
1. What holidays are celebrated in
the same way in England, the USA, Russia.
Ex. 2. a) Read
the dialogue:
Mr. Brian, an Englishman, and Mr. McDonald, his
Scottish colleague, talk about
their traditional holidays.
Mr.
Brian: I’ve heard about Hogmanay which is widely celebrated in Scotland
but I don’t know much about it.
Mr. McDonald: The fact is that
Christmas and New Year’s Day are both holidays
in Scotland
but they aren’t really celebrated as they are
in
England.
People are much more interested in Hogmanay.
Mr. Brian: When is it
observed?
Mr.McDonald: Hogmanay is a Scottish
name for New Year’s Eve. In fact
in
Scotland
we celebrate it for two days. It’s a time for
merrymaking,
the
giving of presents and the observance of the old custom of
First
Footing.
Mr. Brian: I’ve heard
something about the Scottish tradition of welcoming the
first person
to enter the house on New Year’s Day. The visitor
usually
brings with him a gift — a piece of coal, fish, a bottle of
whisky or a
piece of bread. Is this what you mean by First Footing? Mr. McDonald: That’s
right. Hell, this is the way we celebrate Hogmanay.
Mr. Brian: I know you have the
same number of Bank Holidays but do
you
have
any special festival or traditions something on these days?
Mr. McDonald: No, not that I know of,
nothing in the big towns at all because, I
think,
that’s where tradition dies most quickly, really. What does
happen in
small towns is much more interesting.
Mr. Brian: What do you mean?
Mr. McDonald: For example, Scottish
Sports Day when they have competitions not
only in sports but also in dancing, singing and things like that.
Mr. Brian: That’s really
interesting!
Mr. McDonald: And then there’s
another tradition I like very much. It’s
Burns
Night.
Mr. Brian: But when is Burns
Night, sorry?
Mr. McDonald: Burns Night is on the
24th January and that’s the night that we
always make
the haggis for dinner and a poem is recited over the
haggis
before it is eaten.
Mr.
Brian: Why is it called Burns Night?
Mr. McDonald: Well, I’m not sure how
the tradition arose. Robert Bums wrote a
poem or an
ode to the haggis and so the haggis has become
associated
with this occasion.
Mr.
Brian: Now I see that some holidays are similar to those in England and
some are still different.
Mr.
McDonald: And I hope they’ll last.
haggis —
бараний рубец, начиненный потрохами и специями
b)
Say what you have learned about:
1. Hogmanay
celebrations; 2. Bank holidays in Scotland; 3. Bums Night.
c)
Reproduce the parts of the dialogue when the Englishman and the Scot speak
about: 1. Hogmanay; 2. Bank holidays; 3. Bums Night.

ENGLISH TRADITIONS
It is
impossible to talk about England or English people without mentioning their
traditions and national features. There is even a joke that Englishmen have no
thoughts: instead they have traditions. The English are very conservative, they
like familiar things and take everything new with suspicion. But it is true
mainly about older people. The younger generation is not like that. They
welcome new trends and understand quite well that changes are necessary part of
modem life.
Everybody knows that
Englishmen are cool and reserved but the English can be as friendly as people
in any other country, yet it is not easy to make friends with an Englishman.
Everyone has heard of a
very specific English sense of humour which is difficult to understand for
foreigners. A lot of English jokes are based on other well — known English
jokes or idioms, or on play of English words. If you don’t know the English
language well, you will not take it.
The spirit of the English
tradition of ‘Home’ can’t be translated exactly into any other language. The
English are stay-at-home people. Family life goes first with them. They like to
spend their days off at home with their families. The English like small houses
for one family, especially with a small garden. They are fond of fire-places:
in the countryside many people still prefer the open fire to central heating.
The famous English traditions are rapidly becoming a decoration like the
British monarchy and the Queen of Great Britain.
b) Answer the following questions:
1. Why is it impossible to talk about
English people without mentioning their
traditions?
2. What have you heard about a very specific English
sense of humour?
3. Can you translate the spirit of the English tradition
of ‘Home’ ?

AN IRISH WEDDING
Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just
returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already
risen. But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the
night: dancing, singing.
The wedding ceremony was performed
in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning. Nobody
worried about the cost of celebrations. An enormous meal was eaten; the wedding
cake was cut and toasts were drunk m whiskey or sherry. And while the remains
of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the cars set out
again taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the
countryside.
The evening party was to start at
ten o’clock, but by nine o’clock many of the guests were already arriving. By
the time I arrived at eleven o’clock, the party was in full swing. Two men
squeezing accordions provided the music: the old-Irish tunes that have been
played at weddings for many years. Drinks were being handed round. And find
whenever the dancing stopped, somebody would start singing one of the
sentimental treasured Irish songs. Sometimes we all joined in the chorus,
before getting up to dance again.
Irish weddings have been celebrated
in this way for generations The very old and the teenagers, the middle-aged
couples, all meet together to keep up the old traditions and enjoy themselves
as their ancestors did.
b) Say
what information the text gives about:
1.the place
where the wedding ceremony is performed; 2. the cost of celebrations; 3. time
and place of the evening party; 4. providing music and dancing; 5. keeping up
the old. tradition of an Irish wedding.
Ex. 7.
a) Read the text:
Weddings are associated with many
traditions. The date of the wedding is very important. May is traditionally
unlucky for weddings. But today many young people
in Britain
marry between Easter and May.
For every bride her wedding dress
is very important. At most weddings brides get married in white. People think
that many other colours are unlucky, for example, green, yellow and red, but
the bride can be dressed in blue.
They say that the bride’s dress
must have “something old and something new”. “Old” means the past, “new” means
the future.
Even a modem bride will not wear
her dress before the wedding. The groom mustn’t see her before the ceremony in
the wedding dress. The bride can’t try on her veil at the same time as the
dress. Many brides put it on for the first time on the day of wedding. Some
brides even believe that the wedding dress mustn’t be finished until the
wedding morning.
An important thing is the wedding
cake. Today the cake is first cut by the bride. They say that pieces of the
cake bring good luck.
b) List the following items in order in which they
come in the text:
1. The bride
can’t wear her wedding dress before the wedding.
2. The date of the wedding is very important.
3. The cake is first cut by the bride.
4. The bride can’t try on her veil at the same time as
the dress.
5. Pieces of the wedding cake bring good luck.

CELEBRATIONS IN THE USA
The population of the United States is made up of the
people of very many nationalities. They came to America from different
countries and they brought their native celebrations with them. They all became
Americans, but they kept many traditions of those countries they had come from.
The number of holidays is different in various states.
The most widely celebrated holidays in all the states are:
New Year’s Day (January 1)
Lincoln’s Birthday (February 12)
Washington’s Birthday (February 22)
Easter (end of April — beginning of May)
Independence Day (July 4)
Labour Day (first Monday in September)
Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November)
Christmas (December 25)
Here are a few words about some of them. One of the
greatest holidays is Independence Day. It was on July 4, 1776, that the
Declaration of Independence was signed, proclaiming independence of the
thirteen British colonies from Great Britain. July 4 has become the greatest
holiday since.
George Washington (1732 — 1799), the first American
President, was born in Virginia on February 22. He led the American Army to
victory in the war for Independence. Later he was elected President of the
United States and was in office for 8 years. All over the United States
Americans have honoured George Washington by naming after him their national
capital.
Another great American President, Abraham Lincoln, was
born on February 12, 1809. Lincoln was President during the Civil War (1861 —
1865). In this critical period Lincoln led the fight to keep the nation
together and to free the slaves. In honour of this great man a beautiful
memorial has been built in Washington, D.C.
Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday in
September. On this day workers make a public show with marches, meetings, etc.
It also marks the beginning of the school year.
Thanksgiving Day is a kind of religious holiday. It
falls on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day people thank God for his
goodness: besides, it marks the end of the harvest season on farms. It is a
long-standing tradition to fry a large turkey for a festive meal on this day.

the dialogue:
Brown:
Good morning, Mr. Petrov. Happy New Year!
Petrov:
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Brown:
Thank you. It’s good to see you again. You know, I was lucky to
welcome
in
New Year’s Day with my family.
Petrov: Then I am sure you thoroughly enjoyed
yourselves.
Brown: Oh, yes. It was really enjoyable. We all, even
the children, remained awake
all night and made merry.
Petrov: Do all Americans observe this holiday?
Brown: Yes, certainly. At midnight many people go
outside and shout
“Happy
New
Year!” Then they sing “Auld Lang Syne”
Petrov: Old…?
Brown: “A-u-l-d Lang Syne”. It’s an old Scottish song
which is usually sung
on
this
occasion. At midnight people set off fireworks, and blow
automobile
horns.
Sirens are heard everywhere. In short, there is general noise
and
gaiety.
Do you do the same?
Petrov: Yes, certainly. The same is true for us. There
is also a lot of noise
and gaiety
when we see the New Year in. There are many socially-minded
people
who refer to celebrate the coming of the year in restaurants
and cafes.
But I’d say for most people it is a family get-together.
Brown: Oh, is it?
Petrov: On New Year’s Eve our people stay in their
homes, exchange good
wishes, sing and dance.
Brown: Evidently it’s pretty much the same everywhere
with slight variations, We
trim our Christmas trees. Tall Christmas
trees are erected in town squares
and at big stores. On New Year’s Eve we
send good wishes to all
our
friends,
even those who are most neglected during the rest of the year.
Notes:
1.
“Auld Lang Syne” — this Scottish
song was written by Robert Bums. The words
“Auld Lang Syne” mean «the days gone by». The song is
popular with all people who speak English as a native language.
2. stores =

«British Holidays», праздники в Великобритании — одна из тем, которые традиционно изучают в школе на уроках английского языка. Здесь вы найдете сочинение, топик, текст на английском языке с переводом на тему «Британские праздники». Текст дается с переводом и аудио. Сначала идет вариант «текст + аудио», потом «текст + перевод».
В этом тексте на английском языке объясняется разница между «bank holidays» и «public holidays», описываются наиболее важные для британцев праздники, упоминаются различные национальные праздники.
British Holidays
Every country and every nation has its own holidays. In the United Kingdom there are two types of them — bank and public holidays. Bank holidays are the days, when all people in the UK have a day off and celebrate a national event. Those days are: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Early May, Spring Bank holiday, Summer Bank holiday, Christmas and Boxing Day.
Public holidays are special occasions like «Guy Fawkes Night», «Mother’s Day», «Remembrance Day», «Valentine’s Day» and so on. People usually celebrate them but do not have a day off on these events, unless they fall on weekends.
Each holiday is good, but there are some of them that are really special and more popular than others.
New Year’s Day (December 31 – January 1) is a bank holiday. Like many nations around the world, British people celebrate it by hosting parties with their friends and families to await the countdown to the New Year. In Scotland they call it Hogmanay and celebrate it by having a party with friends and setting fireworks off. In many cities there are free celebrations that anyone can join.
Valentine’s Day (February 14) is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it is not a public holiday in most of them. This day has a Catholic origin and has been associated with romantic love since it was mentioned in one of Geoffrey Chaucer’s poems. Nowadays, it’s the day of anyone who is in love. On the Valentine’s Day people usually give to the person they love some sweets, a traditional heart-shaped card (“valentine”) and say, “Be my Valentine”.
Halloween (October 31) also known as All Hallow’s Eve, or All Saint’s Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31. It is the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead. On this day children will dress up in costumes and go ‘trick or treating’ around the neighborhood. “Trick or Treating” involves knocking on someone’s door and saying ‘Trick or Treat’. That person gives them a treat (usually sweets). Children enjoy the holiday because they go home with a bag of sweets!
Guy Fawkes Night (November 5) is a firework festival associated with the tradition of celebrating Guy Fawkes’s failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. It is an annual event dedicated to bonfires, fireworks and celebrations.
Christmas (December 25) is the most important holiday for British families. This is the day that people spend with their families. There are many Christmas traditions, but the most important one is about presents. Family members prepare their gifts and put them under the Christmas tree. In the evening they sit down around the table and enjoy the meal. Then they watch the Queen’s speech on the television as she delivers her traditional Christmas message to the people of the United Kingdom. After that, family eats the Christmas cake and goes to sleep. In the morning all the family members wake up and gather around the tree to find the presents that were prepared for them.
Boxing Day (December 26) is based on the tradition of giving gifts to poor people after celebrating Christmas. The word “boxing” refers to gift boxes, and has nothing to do with the sport.
There are also a few uniquely British holidays, such as Burns Supper in Scotland, dedicated to the poet Robert Burns, or the Queen’s Birthday, but these are the most important and popular holidays in the United Kingdom.

David: Hi, Christina. How are you? Are you in the mood for holidays?
Christina: Hi, David. I’m fine, thank you. I am, of course. Seven hours later we’ll have Christmas. By the way, Merry Christmas!
David: Thank you, it’s my favourite holiday. My family is already getting ready for the feast.
Christina: What are they cooking?
David: Well, my mum always cooks a roast turkey with rosemarine leaves. It is incredibly delicious. You should come and try it sometimes.
Christina: With pleasure. In fact, I’m free after 7 pm today and can visit you. However, it will be a quick visit, as I still haven’t bought the postcards for some of my friedns.
David: No problem. Come to see us. I think the turkey should be ready by that time and you can have a slice.
Christina: I’ve never tried turkey with rosemarine. It should taste good. What else is your mum cooking?
David: She is also in charge of the desserts. Her main specialty is Christmas pudding.
Christina: My parents also cook pudding but with small good luck object in it. So in case you try a piece be careful not to swallow anything. Did you know about this tradition?
David: No, it’s the first time I hear about it. Which object do you mean?
Christina: It’s an old British tradition which my parents follow. They put a silver coin, a thimble, a ring and an anchor charm in the pudding. A person who gets a coin is supposed to be lucky and successful all year round.
David: How about the other ones?
Christina: The person who gets a thimble gets a sign of thrift. A ring is an anticipation of wedding, an anchor symbolizes a safe year. In fact, it protects the receiver from possible dangers.
David: That’s an interesting tradition. We’ve never practised it. What other Christmas traditions do you follow?
Christina: By some reason, my parents always place the presents under the Christmas tree.
David: We place them in the stockings which hang above the fireplace.
Christina: That’s what most people in Britain do, don’t they?
David: Yes, you’re right. What else do you do on Christmas night?
Christina: We often go to see the fireworks after midnight. Would you like to join us?
David: With pleasure. Do you mean the fireworks of the Central Square?
Christina: Yes, it’s almost round the corner. Why not to go and admire the city festivities? Apart from fireworks there is always a merry fair and some carousels. Everything is lit by cheerful colors and lights. I like the atmosphere of this day.
David: Me too. Let’s go there together.
Christina: What are you going to do after the 25th of December?
David: Well, I’m having a short holiday after that and I hope to spend these days usefully.
Christina: My school is also on holiday. Let’s pick a day to go skiing in the woods, shall we?
David: Sounds like a good idea. I’ll tell my dad to fix up my skis. One was broken last year.
Christina: I see. Then let me know when it’s fixed and we can have a small ski adventure.
David: Ok, I have to go now. Hope to see you a little later today.
Christina: See you.
Перевод
Дэвид: Привет, Кристина. Как дела? У тебя настроение праздничное?
Кристина: Привет, Дэвид. Все хорошо, спасибо. Да, конечно. Через семь часов наступит Рождество. Кстати говоря, с Рождеством тебя!
Дэвид: Спасибо, это мой любимый праздник. Моя семья уже готовится к торжеству.
Кристина: Что они готовят?
Дэвид: Ну, моя мама готовит индейку с листьями розмарина. Это очень вкусно. Тебе следует прийти к нам и попробовать.
Кристина: С удовольствием. После 7 вечера я свободна и могу посетить вас. Однако это будет быстрый визит, так как я все еще не купила открытки для некоторых друзей.
Дэвид: Не проблема. Приходи к нам. Думаю, индейка уже будет готова к тому времени и тебе достанется кусочек.
Кристина: Я никогда не пробовала индейку с розмарином. Должно быть очень вкусно. Что еще готовит твоя мама?
Дэвид: Она также ответственна за десерты. Ее фирменное блюдо — Рождественский пудинг.
Кристина: Мои родители также готовят пудинг, но с маленькими объектами-шармами. Поэтому если тебе достанется кусочек, будь осторожен, не проглоти что-нибудь. Ты знал об этой традиции?
Дэвид: Нет, впервые слышу о ней. Какие объекты ты имеешь в виду?
Кристина: Это старинная британская традиция, которую соблюдают мои родители. Они кладут в пудинг серебряную монетку, наперсток, кольцо и шарм в виде якоря. Того, кому попадается монетка, будет преследовать удача и счастье круглый год.
Дэвид: Как насчет других объектов?
Кристина: Тот, кому попадается наперсток, должен быть бережливым. Кольцо предвещает скорое замужество или женитьбу, а якорь — это признак безопасности. Он будет защищать своего хозяина от возможных опасностей.
Дэвид: Интересная традиция. Мы никогда ее не практиковали. Какие еще рождественские традиции вы соблюдаете?
Кристина: По какой-то причине мои родители всегда помещают все подарки под елкой.
Дэвид: А мы помещаем их в носки, которые висят над камином.
Кристина: Так делают большинство британцев, не так ли?
Дэвид: Да, ты права. Что еще вы делаете в рождественскую ночь?
Кристина: Мы часто ходим посмотреть на фейерверк после полуночи. Хочешь присоединиться к нам?
Дэвид: С удовольствием. Ты имеешь в виду фейерверк на Центральной площади?
Кристина: Да, это почти за углом. Почему бы не сходить полюбоваться городскими празднествами? Помимо фейерверка, там всегда веселая ярмарка и карусели. Все освещено яркими цветами и огоньками. Я люблю атмосферу этого дня.
Дэвид: Я тоже. Давай пойдем вместе.
Кристина: А что ты собираешься делать после 25-го декабря?
Дэвид: Ну, у меня будут недолгие каникулы после праздника и я надеюсь провести их с пользой.
Кристина: В моей школе тоже каникулы. Давай выберем день для катания на лыжах с лесу.
Дэвид: Хорошая идея. Скажу моему папе пусть починит мои лыжи. Одна из них сломалась в прошлом году.
Кристина: Понятно. Тогда дай знать, когда она будет исправна и мы отправимся в маленькое лыжное путешествие.
Дэвид: Хорошо, а сейчас мне нужно идти. Надеюсь увидеть тебя чуть позже сегодня.
Кристина: До встречи.

Диалог на английском языке с переводом на тему «Рождество» (Christmas).
Peter: Lee, what are your plans for the winter break?
Lee: Ajay and I were invited to Alan’s house for the break. How about you? You’re going to volunteer at a school, right?
Peter: That’s right. But first I’m going to go home and spend Christmas with my family. It’s an important holiday for my family. We have lots of Christmas traditions.
Lee: Interesting. Like what?
Peter: Well, one of our traditions is also a tradition for some families in the U.S. — the Advent calendar.
Lee: What’s that?
Peter: It’s like a large card, with a picture on it. There’s also a small opening with a door for each day in December, up until Christmas. And each day, you open one of the doors. The best part is that behind the door is a piece of chocolate.
Lee: It’s a calendar with chocolate? That’s the best kind of calendar.
Peter: Some of them only have pictures, but my family gets the ones with chocolate. Another tradition is the Christmas market. In the local squares, there’s a market that sells food, drinks and local crafts.
Lee: That sounds great. I think there are some places in the U.S. that have Christmas markets too.
Peter: One different tradition is that we open presents on Christmas Eve. In the U.S., people usually open presents on Christmas.
Перевод
Питер: Ли, какие у тебя планы на зимние каникулы?
Ли: Эйджей и я были приглашены в дом Алана на каникулы. Как насчет тебя? Ты будешь волонтером в школе, да?
Питер: Верно. Но сначала я поеду домой и проведу Рождество с семьей. Это важный праздник для моей семьи. У нас много рождественских традиций.
Ли: Интересно. Какие?
Питер: Ну, одна из наших традиций также является традицией для некоторых семей в США – календарь Адвента.
Ли: А это что такое?
Питер: Это как большая открытка с картинкой. Там также есть небольшое отверстие с дверью для каждого дня в декабре, вплоть до Рождества. И каждый день, вы открываете одну из дверей. Лучшая часть – это то, что за дверью находится кусок шоколада.
Ли: Это календарь с шоколадом? Это лучший вид календаря.
Питер: Некоторые из них имеют только фотографии, но моя семья получает те, с шоколадом. Другая традиция – Рождественский рынок. На местных площадях есть рынок, который продает еду, напитки и местные поделки.
Ли: Звучит здорово. Я думаю, в США есть места, где тоже есть рождественские рынки.
Питер: Другая традиция – открывать подарки в канун Рождества. В США подарки обычно открывают на Рождество.

– That’s really interesting. My family doesn’t celebrate Christmas. What else do you do?
– We also go to church together for the midnight mass.
– Do you also put presents under the tree?
– Yes, lots of presents. They are all individually wrapped in colorful paper and brought by Santa Claus.
– Santa Claus isn’t real, right?

– Это действительно интересно. Спасибо, что поделились всем этим со мной.
