Procedure

1. Warm-up

To Gramma’s House

To Gramma’s house we go, Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho!

We’re on our way with horse and sleigh, Through fluffy drifts of snow.

Oh, what a trip to take. She’ll have a chocolate cake.

There’ll be some pies, of monstrous size, And chestnuts we can bake

To Gramma’s house we go, Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho!

What lovely things Thanksgiving brings; The nicest things we know!

2. Listening

Listen to the dialogue about the history of Thanksgiving and answer the questions.

—Hello! I’m Julia.

—I’m Karina.

—And we are friends!

—How do you like my hat?

—...and my feathers?

—Aren’t we charming?!

—Today we have a cool holiday, Thanksgiving Day.

—Join us and let’s celebrate it together.

—But at first we’d like to tell you some words about this holiday.

—Maybe someone doesn’t know why these Americans like eating turkey in November.

—Imagine a day set aside for families to come together from near and far to feast and feel thankful for all that they have…

—and you’ve got Thanksgiving Day in the United States.

—Some families take part in religious ceremonies in the morning…

—__ but for most families the highlight of the day is Thanksgiving dinner.

—This custom began with the Pilgrims in 1621. They were members of the English Separatist Church.

—Yeah, a Puritan sect. They had very strict moral standards and thought that pleasure was unnecessary.

—So, they decided to leave the country in search of religious free-

dom.

—In September 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth harbor in England and sailed west.

—There were 102 passengers on the board and it took them 66 days to reach North America.

—And at last in November 1620 they landed. But the first winter was very hard for the colonists. Half of them died.

—But with the help of the native Indians, who taught them how to fish, hunt and plant corn, their chances for surviving the winter of 1621 looked much better.

—After a successful harvest the Pilgrims decided to hold a special Thanksgiving feast and invited the Indians.

—The Indians brought deer meat, turkeys, cranberries and even popcorn.

—The original Thanksgiving lasted three whole days …

—… and can you believe that all that food was prepared by three women!

—This holiday didn’t celebrate every year at first and didn’t have the exact day.

—But in 1864 Abraham Lincoln established the last Thursday in November as a day for all Americans to give thanks.

Christmas Day is observed on the 25th of December. On Christmas Eve everything is in rush. People get ready to see the holiday. They de­ corate their homes, arrange Christmas cards on shelves and tables and hang a bunch of mistletoe under which the boys kiss girls. They are busy cooking a turkey and baking Christmas pudding. Children wake up early to find a stocking full of small presents on their bed. Other presents, opened when everyone is together, are arranged around the Christmas tree.

Boxing Day, on the 26th of December, is the day when people visit their friends, go for a drive or long walks or just spent it in front of the TV recovering from Christmas Day.

In Scotland and the North of England people go first footing on New Year’s morning. They call at friends’ houses, trying to be the first person through the door after midnight. To symbolize good luck, the visitor carries a piece of coal and a glass of water. The luckiest type of first footer is a tall, dark man.

Christmas in Australia is not like anywhere else! Everything is top- sy-turvy since December is one of the hottest months of the year. But the Australians have a great time anyway. Those who live near the coast go to the beach on Christmas day. They have a swim, play cricket or volleyball, surf or just sit around with family and friends enjoying Christmas dinner. Santa Claus arrives at Australian beaches on a surfboard — quite a change from sliding down a chimney! And since the weather is hot he often wears a swimsuit or funny baggy shorts.
