Прочитайте описание трёх праздников в Британии. Назовите праздники, о которых идёт речь. Переведите второй абзац текста
Holidays and Festivals in Britain
There are eight holidays a year in Great Britain. On these days people don’t go to work. They are: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter, May Day, Bank Holiday, Remembrance Day.
1. Just before midnight, the ashes are cleared from the fireplace so that the year will be begun afresh. Money, especially silver money, is placed outside the door, and bread and a piece of coal are put as well to ensure health, wealth, and happiness to the household. A few minutes before twelve o’clock all the doors of the houses are opened to allow the spirit of the old year to depart. At midnight the wireless is turned on, so that everyone can hear the chimes of Big Ben. When the clock strikes twelve everyone wishes everyone else “A Happy New Year”.
2. This Day is observed throughout Britain in commemoration of the million or more Britain soldiers, sailors and airmen who lost their lives during the two World Wars. On that day special services are held in the churches and wreaths are laid at war memorials throughout the country, when a great number of people gather to observe the two-minute silence and to perform this Day ceremony. When the two-minute silence is over, members of the Royal Family, or their representatives and political leaders come forward to lay wreaths at the foot of the Cenotaph. Then comes the march past the memorial.
3. On this Holiday the townsfolk usually flock into the country and to the coast. If the weather is fine many families take a picnic-lunch or tea with them and enjoy their meal in the open.
The Holiday is also an occasion for big sports meetings. There are also horse race meetings all over the country.
Практическое задание 16
Прочитайте текст о некоторых традиционных особенностях белорусского народа. Переведите третий абзац текста. Ответьте на вопросы
(1) Belarusians are fond of cranberry kissel, a kind of thin jelly. They also like tea with biscuits and "pirazhki" (baked pastry with some filling). Belarusians drink hot strong tea with a slice of lemon or honey. Many Belarusians like herbal tea with various flavours.
(2) The main dishes of the traditional menu are "draniki" (pancakes made of grated raw potatoes and fried with some filling) and "klyotski" (boiled balls from grated raw potatoes with meat and mushroom filling). Belarusians also like "shchi", a thick cabbage soup. Belarusians eat brown bread with nearly every meal.
(3) Usually tourists buy such traditional Belarusian souvenirs as flax dolls and dolls or other things made of straw. Boxes inlaid with straw are especially popular with tourists. The works from clay (глина) are also attractive. Many tourists buy our Belarusian penny whistles made of burnt black clay.
(4) Many Belarusians are religious people. The main church is the Russian Orthodox Church. It has survived during the hard times and now people speak about a rebirth of religion in the country. New churches and cathedrals are built every year, old ones are restored. But not all people in Belarus belong to the Orthodox Church. There are other religions too and there are a lot of people who are non-believers.
Answer the questions:
1. What do Belarusians like?
2. What souvenirs are popular with tourists?
