I. Good afternoon my dear students! I am very glad to se you! How are you today? Welcome to our lesson! (слайд 1)
II. Sorry, my friend Edward is calling me (слайд 2).
(слайд 3)
Teacher: Hi, Edward!
Ed: Hi, Kate! How are you?
Teacher: I’m fine, and you?
Ed: I am fine too. You see, I have a problem. I like English and Britain, but I know nothing about customs and traditions. Can you help me?
Teacher: of course. And I think my students will help me. So you can watch our lessons on your computer.
Ed: Ok.
So, today we speak about British holidays and traditions (слайд 4).
III. 1) But first of all let’s find out what is a custom and what is a tradition. I have some synonyms. Let’s match them with their definitions (слайд 5, раздать учащимся карточки с заданием).
1. A holiday is a) a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on from one generation to another
2. A festival is b) a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or doing something that is specific to a particular society, place, or time
3. A tradition is c) a day or period of celebration, typically for religious reasons
4. A custom is d) a day of festivity or recreation when no work is done
2) And now we’ll watch the film about British festivals and do some exercises to it
(слайд 6, раздать учащимся карточки с заданиями).
Number the festivals: (слайд 7)
St. Valentine’s Day
Christmas
Guy Fawke’s Night
Halloween
Pancake Day
New Year’s Day
And let’s answer some questions (слайд 8)
1. What present did Mr Robinson get? (Mr Robinson got four pairs of socks.)
2. Where do people go with their family on Christmas? (People go to church with their family on Christmas.)
3. What do they find in a cracker? (They find a little present and a joke.)

5. What is the last festival of the year? (The last festival of the year is the New Year’s Day).
6. Where is there a really big party? (The really big party is in Trafalgar Square.)

Marriage Traditions
Marriage is usually initiated by a proposal of marriage, simply called "a proposal". The man traditionally proposes to the woman and the actual proposal often has a ritual quality, involving the presentation of a ring (an engagement ring) and the formalized asking of a question such as "Will you marry me?" The man may even go down on one knee before proposing. If the proposal is accepted, the couple becomes engaged.
In the United Kingdom, the engagement ring is worn, by the woman, on the third finger of the left hand (the ring finger).
In the UK the 29th of February (in a leap year) is said to be the one day (coming round only once every four years) when a woman can propose to her partner.
A man who is engaged to be married is called his partner's fiancé; a woman similarly engaged is called her partner's fiancée.
When the guests arrive for a wedding the ushers' duty is to hand out the correct books, flowers and the order of service, they also ensure the guests are seated in the correct places. Traditionally, the side on which people sit depends on whether they are friends or family of the bride or of the groom. The front rows are generally reserved for close family or friends, with the very first seats reserved for the bridal party.
The groom and his best man wait inside the church for the arrival of the bride and her "entourage". This entourage generally arrives in elegant cars or in horse-drawn coaches, specially hired for the occasion. The bride's entourage normally consists of the bride, the bride's father and all the various bridesmaids, maids of honour, sometimes flower girls and page boys attend her.
During the ceremony the bride and groom make their marriage vows. Marriage vows are promises a couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony.
After the vows have been spoken the couple exchange rings. The wedding ring is placed on the third finger of the left hand, also called the "ring" finger. The wedding ring is usually a plain gold ring.
After the wedding ceremony, the bride, groom, officiant, and two witnesses generally go off to a side room to sign the wedding register. Without this the marriage is not legal and a wedding certificate cannot be issued.
The bride stands with her back to all the guests and throws her bouquet over her head to them. Whoever catches the bouquet is the next person to get married.
Finally, a photo session ensues of the couple leaving the church, and everyone has to stand around to form formal groups for the photo album. A lot of people video the whole thing, which can be good for a laugh on YouTube.
After the ceremony there is usually a reception at which the married couple, the couple's parents, the best man and the wedding entourage greet each of the guests. At such events it is traditional to eat and drink - a lot.
Any dancing is commonly started by the bride and groom, usually termed the "Bridal Waltz", but dancing an actual waltz is comparatively rare - often the couple chooses their favourite piece of music or a song.
The final tradition is the newly married couple to set off for their honeymoon.
April Fool`s day
April Fools’ Day is celebrated in Great Britain and in the US like in France, Russia and many other countries on April 1 every year. Unlike other holidays April Fools’ Day is «for-fun-only». Nobody buys gifts or takes their beloved ones out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun little holiday
In England and Scotland April fooling became popular during the 1700s, however the origin of the custom still is unclear. There are several theories about it.
One theory is that in Europe, until the sixteenth century, March 25thwas New Year’s Day. Celebration lasted up to the 1st of April when people used to give presents to one another. In 1564, Charles IX, the French king, adopted the Gregorian calendar and made January 1st New Year’s Day. Those, who were against this, continued giving presents on April 1st. In the following years, those who insisted on celebrating the New Year at its old time were mocked as fools and people would play pranks and tricks on them.
Other people say that the holiday is just a continuation of a festival in honour of the Celtic god of Mirth but the most popular belief is that it’s a reaction to the change in season and the start of spring. Whatever its origin, making fools of people on this day remains one of the most flourishing of all British customs.
Today, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is to point to a friend's shoe and say ‘Your shoelace is untied.’ When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. A bag of flour might be balanced on the top of a door so that when the ‘victim’ opens the door, the flour empties over their head. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools Day about spaghetti farmers and how they harvest their crop from spaghetti trees.
In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts for two days! The second day is called ‘Taily Day’ and tricks on this day involve the bottom (or the ‘tail’ in informal speech). Often a sign saying ‘kick me’ is stuck onto someone’s back without them knowing.
Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The best trick is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke has been played.
Boat Race
The tradition was started in 1829 by Charles Merivale, a student at St John's College, Cambridge, and his Old Harrovian school friendCharles Wordsworth who was studying at Christ Church, Oxford. Cambridge challenged Oxford to a race at Henley-on-Thames but lost easily. Oxford raced in dark blue because five members of the crew, including the stroke, were from Christ Church, then Head of the River, whose colours were dark blue.] There is a dispute as to the source of the colour chosen by Cambridge. The second race was in1836, with the venue moved to a course from Westminster to Putney. Over the next two years, there was disagreement over where the race should be held, with Oxford preferring Henley and Cambridge preferring London. Following the official formation of the Oxford University Boat Club in 1839, racing between the two universities resumed on the Tideway and the tradition continues to the present day, with the loser challenging the winner to a rematch annually.
The race in 1877 was declared a dead heat. Both crews finished in a time of 24 minutes and eight seconds in bad weather. The verdict of race judge, John Phelps, is suspect because he was reportedly over 70 and blind in one eye.
Oxford, partially disabled, were making effort after effort to hold their rapidly waning lead, while Cambridge, who, curiously enough, had settled together again, and were rowing almost as one man, were putting on a magnificent spurt at 40 strokes to the minute, with a view of catching their opponents before reaching the winning-post. Thus struggling over the remaining portion of the course, the two eights raced past the flag alongside one another, and the gun fired amid a scene of excitement rarely equalled and never exceeded. Cheers for one crew were succeeded by counter-cheers for the other, and it was impossible to tell what the result was until the Press boat backed down to the Judge and inquired the issue. John Phelps, the waterman, who officiated, replied that the noses of the boats passed the post strictly level, and that the result was a dead heat.
Easter
In England Easter doesn't fall on the same date every year, but rather on any Sunday from March 22nd to April 25th , as it is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon in March. Its celebration is a series of special days dedicated to the commemoration of the death and resurrection of special days of Jesus Christ.
The week before Easter is called Holy week and it begins with Palm Sunday. On Holy Thursday Christians celebrate the Last Supper-Jesus' last meal with his apostles. Good Friday refers to the day Jesus was crucified and the following Sunday, Easter Sunday, celebrates his resurrection. Holy Thursday is also called Maundy Thursday in Great Britain and during the Maundy ceremonies the Royal Family give special coins to people as a token of charity.
The name Easter seems to come from Eostre, the pagan goddess of spring worshipped in Northern Europe long before the advent of Christianity.
The British tradition of Easter baskets also dates back to ancient times, when people
offered their eggs in grass nests to Eostre. Today's Easter baskets are filled with eggs and sweets and decorated with ribbons, flowers and straw.
The decoration of Easter eggs began in England during the Middle Ages when members of noble families gave one another gold-covered eggs as Easter presents. The custom soon became very popular but instead of precious eggs
people began to give ordinary hard-boiled eggs which had been painted or dyed. Even today in Britain people decorate Easter eggs and very often hang them with ribbons or strings on beautiful egg trees.
The tradition of the Easter Hare, or Easter Bunny comes from a Northern European legend. Long ago in a small village the mothers had no money to buy their children presents for Easter. They painted eggs with lots of beautiful pictures and hid them in the forest near the village. When the children went to play in the forest on Easter Sunday they saw the eggs but they didn't know where they came from. Suddenly a hare ran out from behind a pile of eggs and the children started shouting: "They are hare's eggs!".
Typical British Easter cakes are hot cross buns, small round sweet cakes with a cross on top in memory of Christ's death, originally eaten on Good Friday, and hare - shaped biscuits.
5) And now divide into two groups. Imagine that you have won a million dollars. Your task is to choose presents for every person in the other group. For example: We are giving a Mercedes to Helen because she likes cars.
6) Oh, I’ve forgotten about Edward. Let’s speak to him.
