IV. Speaking on the situation
T.: Now, children, imagine that you have just come from the International Film Festival held in London. And you are invited to participate in the TV Talk Show to share your impressions about this festival. Your task is to speak about the British Film Industry and famous British films and actors. Who wants to speak?
T.: You are welcome but don’t forget to introduce yourself. Let’s start.
P1.:
The British film industry is more famous for historical dramas and,
more recently, romantic comedies like Four
Weddings
and a
Funeral.
However, in 1962 a film called Dr.
No
appeared. It was about an intelligence agent called James Bond and
was an immediate success. There are now over 20 Bond films, and they
are some of the most successful action films ever made.
P2.:
Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books, was born in 1908. In
the 1930s he worked as a journalist and a banker. But he wanted a
more exciting life and in the Second World War he got a job in the
British Intelligence Service. After the war Fleming returned to
journalism, but in 1953 he started writing thrillers, using his
wartime experience in the intelligence service. In all he wrote 14
bond books, selling millions of copies around the world.
P3.:
James Bond works for MI6, the international part of the British
Intelligence Service. His other name is 007. In his early films Bond
is charming, drinks and smokes a lot, and has many affairs with
women. In more recent films he is more sensitive and less reckless,
and the female characters play a bigger role in the stories. Bond is
famous for the way he introduce himself: “The name’s Bond. James
Bond.”
Six actors have played the part of Bond: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
T.: Thank you very much for participating in the TV Talk Show. You may take your seats.
V. Quis: “ Who knows the actors better?”
T.: Now, children, let’s have a quiz “Who knows the actors better?” Look at the photos of actors on the screen and give their names. For each right answer you’ll get a card. So, let’s start!

P1: Mary, where are you going for your holidays?
P2: I think that I’ll be going to Switzerland.
P3: Switzerland? It’s always snowing there and it’s far too cold.
P4: No, it’s not. I went there two years ago and it was fabulous. My skiing improved, I loved the food, and the hotel organized discos every night.
P2: That’s everything I want in a holiday. At least I’ll never be bored.
P1: I know you love sports and discos, but I want something entirely different. Egypt is the place for me.
P3: Why Egypt?
P1: Well…You all know that I love history and museums and things. And don’t forget the exotic evenings. Just imagine a midnight stroll to the Pyramids. What a dream?
P3: Oh no! I would never go there. There are always sandstorms and it’s far too hot and humid. I love the sun, but not when it makes me clammy. Anyway, I’ve already seen the Pyramids. On television, I admit, but I’ve seen them…
…
P1: That’s great. We’ve all decided on something different, so let’s keep a holiday diary, and compare notes when we return.
All: What a good idea!
T: Thank you. It’s really very difficult to choose a place to go as there are a lot of interesting places in the world. Now I’d like you to go on an imaginary trip to one of such places. It’s Sydney. You’ll listen to the text, fill in the table and then speak about this place. So, listen please.

Теасher: Dear Friends! Ladies and Gentlemen, Children and Grown-ups!
I think you now such English proverb: “So many countries so many customs”. Today we are going to speak about English holidays and traditions. You will read some interesting texts about them, do interesting tasks.
I prefer holidays to days off because they have their special coloring. By the way, the word “holiday” comes from the words “holy” and “day”. Holidays were originally religious festivals, but now many of them have nothing in common with the religion.
Teacher: Tell me what holidays you know.
Pupils: Mother’s Day, All Fool’s Day, New Year, Birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Saint Valentine Day, Thanksgiving Day.
Teacher: Thank you. Now you are to read the descriptions of the holiday and to guess which holidays are described.
This is the day, on which practical jokes are played. It is a very old custom. (All Fool’s Day).
This holiday is traditionally observed on the second Sunday of March. It dates from the time when many girls worked away from home. (Mother’s Day).
This is a day when many people try to be with their families. For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year. (Christmas).
In Great Britain this holiday is not as widely celebrated as Christmas. People may decorate their fir-tree. (New Year).
In England it is time for giving presents which traditionally takes the form of the egg. (Easter).
There is a holiday for children in England in autumn. It is on the 31st of October. It is the night for ghosts and witches. (Halloween).
Teacher: And now you are to match dialogues with dialogues. Then we will act them.
Teacher: During the holidays you are to stay somewhere, to take different things. Now you are to distribute these words in 4 columns.
Travel agent, swimming costume, towel, relaxing, sight-seeing, food, ski instructor, sunbathing, climbing, camp, suitcase, horse riding, friends tour guide.
Teacher: Now let us speak about Halloween , but before it, listen to the poem.
Pupil: Halloween is coming.
What will you do?
I might go trick-or-treating.
How about you.
Halloween is coming.
What will you do?
I might be a pirate
On the deep blue sea
Halloween is coming.
What will you do?
I might meet a princess
Skipping down the street.
Halloween is coming.
What will you do?
It is a secret,
So, wait and see.
Teacher: New words: pumpkins, candles, “trick or treat”, ghost, witch, Halloween. You are to guess the meaning of these words.
A big round fruit with candles (pumpkin – гарбуз);
A British festival on the 31st of October (Halloween – Хеловін);
A mystic feature that flies on the broomstick (witch – відьма);
A white figure (ghost – привид);
An English game where children get sweets (trick-or-treat – цукерки або смерть).
Teacher: Let us read about Halloween.
Halloween
There is a nice holiday for children in England and America in autumn. It is Halloween. It is on the thirty-first of October. On this day boys and girls put on old and funny clothes. Children may be witches, ghosts, kings and others.
People put pumpkins on the window-sills. They cut eyes, noses and mouths in the pumpkins. Then they put candles into them. So the pumpkin looks like a face.
The children go from house to house and knock at the doors. They say, "Trick or treat".
People give them sweets, fruit, cakes and many other tasty things. This is a nice, fun and tasty autumn holiday.

Teacher: And now let us have a rest . Let’s play an acting game.
( Halloween, presents, a candle, a birthday, Saint Valentine Day, a cake, a ghost)
Teacher: And now let us read the story of Valentine’s Day.
In Roman times people celebrated a festival of love in the month of February. The festival was called Lupercalia. It was the festival of the Roman gods. Young men and young women played games to find a wife or a husband. In early times Valentine was a holy man. He was killed for his beliefs. Before he died he wrote a message on the prison wall. The message was for the woman he loved and he signed the message “Your Valentine”. All people in the world celebrated Saint Valentine’s Day on the fourteenth of February. It became the festival of lovers. Young men write poems to give to young women. Girls make cards to give to the young men. The sender of the card is a secret. People never sign the cards. Now you can present different things, for example, a heart-shaped balloon, a valentine card or twelve red roses
Teacher: Facts about Saint Valentine’s Day in the USA: 63% of Americans celebrate it; American youth sent 750 mln. Valentines; 43% of Americans present candies. How this day is celebrated in Ukraine? Is Saint Valentine’s day celebrate the same way in our country?
Teacher: So, this is the day for the couples and our contest also will be in couples. And your first task will be to make up as many words as possible using the letters of this expression “Saint Valentine’s Day”
Teacher: What are the symbols of this holiday? And now the task will be to find and match words with similar meanings. The quickest couple will get a heart.
