Регина: Our students have prepared some sonnets which can be heard here.

Sonnet №90

Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now,
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of Fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss.
Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow.
Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come: so shall I taste
At first the very worst of Fortune's might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.

Уж если ты разлюбишь,— так теперь,
Теперь, когда весь мир со мной в раздоре.
Будь самой горькой из моих потерь,
Но только не последней каплей горя!
И если скорбь дано мне превозмочь,
Не наноси удара из засады.
Пусть бурная не разрешится ночь
Дождливым утром — утром без отрады.
Оставь меня, но не в последний миг,
Когда от мелких бед я ослабею.
Оставь сейчас, чтоб сразу я постиг,
Что это горе всех невзгод больнее.
Что нет невзгод, а есть одна беда —
Твоей любви лишиться навсегда.

Перевод С. Маршака

Sonnet № 91

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force;
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill;
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest.
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best,
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks or horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away, and me most wretched make.

Кто хвалится родством своим со знатью,
Кто силой, кто блестящим галуном,
Кто кошельком, кто пряжками на платье,
Кто соколом, собакой, скакуном.
Есть у людей различные пристрастья,
Но каждому милей всего одно.
А у меня особенное счастье,—
В нем остальное все заключено,
Твоя любовь, мой друг, дороже клада,
Почетнее короны королей,
Наряднее богатого наряда,
Охоты соколиной веселей.
Ты можешь все отнять, чем я владею,
И в этот миг я сразу обеднею.

Даша: The story of the Beatles rises from the back- street of the Liverpool. Four working – class boys organized their group in 1959. They were just one of a dozen bands that played in clubs and got only 5 shillings each for it. Soon they were invited to Hamburg where they recorded their song. Later they signed their first recording contract in London and their first record was a success. In year their songs became hits they went on tours of Gr. Britain. The Beatles became “the most famous men in the world” as the press wrote.

The most popular songs by Beatles are “Yesterday”, “ Let it be”, “Imagine” “ Strawberry Fields”. And now we’ll listen to the song “Imagine” (a song).

Костя: Rona Rex and Kenna Baran are from Scotland. They are fond of Robert Burns’s poetry. (Kenna Baran about Scotland)

Scotland

Scotland is a country of great variety with its own unique character and strong traditions. It is a very big country famous for the diversity of its landscapes. Scottish lakes, called “lochs”, are surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains. The most famous of the Scottish lochs is Loch Ness, because of the mystery of its monster. The Loch Ness monster is a real attraction for people from all parts of Britain and from other countries.

For many centuries the purple thistle has been Scotland's national emblem.

Rona Rex: I am from Scotland, from Highlands (the most beautiful part of our country).

The Scottish Highlands are among oldest mountains the world.

My heart’s in the Highlands
My heart is not here
My heart’s in the Highlands
A chasing the deer.

The poem is known to all Scottish people. It was written by Robert Burns. Every year, on

the 25-th of January, his birthday is celebrated in cities, towns and villages with Burn’s supper.

It begins with a traditional toast: “To the immortal memory of Robert Burns”. Then those present must make speeches. Everyone is allowed to make a speech and read a poem by R. Burns.

Регина: Let’s altogether sing this popular song!

My heart in the Highlands
My heart is not here
My heart’s in the Highlands
A chasing the deer.

A chasing the wild deer and following the roe
My heart in the Highlands wherever I go
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell of worth.
Wherever I wonder, wherever I rove
The hills of the Highlands forever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow.
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.

Костя: John Brownis from Wales. He presents his country. (about Wales)
