VII. Розвиток навичок читання.

Teacher. Let’s read the text which is called “Winter Holidays”

There are four seasons in a year. They are winter, spring, summer and autumn. Winter is the coldest season. Spring is colder than summer. Summer is warmer than autumn. The temperature in winter is often 15-20 degrees below zero. It often snows and the strong wind usually blows. People are wearing warm clothes. Children like to sledge, to skate, to ski, to play snowballs in this season. Some of them like to make funny snowmen.

There are a lot of holidays which people celebrate in winter: New Year’s Day, St. Nicholas, Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day, Boxing Day, Father’s Day and others. There are many holidays in Ukraine and in England which are common, but there are holidays which are3 celebrated only by the British. British people celebrate Christmas on the 25^th of December. In Ukraine we celebrate it in the 7^th of January. A few weeks before Christmas people are very busy. They go shopping to buy presents for their friends and relatives.

The traditional food on Christmas in Britain is pudding and Christmas turkey. In Ukraine we cook kutia. Christmas is a family holiday and people celebrate it at home with all the family. At the next day after Christmas British people celebrate Boxing Day. They go to their friends or invite them to their own homes, but Ukrainian people do not celebrate this holiday. On the New Year’s Eve children like to decorate the fir-tree with toys, coloured lights, sometimes sweets and nuts. English children believe that Santa Claus brings presents at Christmas night. That is why they write letters to Santa and say what they want to get. As a rule, children hang their stockings near the bed or above fireplaces. It is the merriest holiday for people all over the world.
