The New Year Day. Christmas

      Mary, John and Boris are sitting in the living room and talking. Boris has just come back from London, where his family had celebrated Christmas, which is their favourite holiday.
     "What do you usually do on the Christmas day?"  Mary asks Boris.
     "We give presents to each other, we decorate the Christmas tree at home and sometimes we go to the centre of London on the Christmas eve. And what is your favourite holiday?"

    "Our favourite holiday is New Year", John answers. "It falls on the first of January and the most important time is the New Year eve. At midnight the Kremlin clock strikes twelve times, our parents open champagne and clink glasses."
     "And what do children do?" " We wait for Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) to come with his granddaughter Snegurochka. He will give us the gifts from his large sack. We usually ask him to bring the presents we want", Mary says.
     "Does he listen to you?" "Yes, he does if we study well at school and behave ourselves.  Last year I got new hockey skates! I want to get a LEGO set this year.  I have been studying well and behaving myself since the beginning of the school year. I hope Ded Moroz grants my wish", John answers.

1. Holidays in Russia. New year

     There are many holidays in Russia: New Year, Christmas, Love Day, Army Day, Easter, Victory Day and others.
     New Year is the most popular holiday in this country. Children like it very much because it is like a fairy tale.
     They decorate the New Year tree (it's a fir tree in Russia), write New Year cards, give presents to each other and their mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. Very often they make the presents and New Year toys themselves. The grown up people like these presents most of all.
     "How are you getting ready for the coming New Year?"
     "I am writing New Year cards in the Internet and improving my school marks. My mother says that my good marks are the best present for her. By the way, I have just got an excellent mark for an English test".

2. Christmas and Easter are very important

     Christmas in Russia falls on the 7th of January. On the Christmas eve my grandparents watch the night service in the
Cathedral of Christ the Savior (Собор Христа Спасителя) and my parents go to the Cathedral to participate in the service.
     "Do they participate in the sacred procession (крестный ход)?"
     "There is no sacred procession on Christmas night, but there is one on the Easter night. My parents tried it two years ago. They say it's a wonderful experience and they have been doing it every year since that time."
    "Are your parents religious people?"
    "No, they are not. But they cherish the customs and traditions of Russia."

3. The USA. A country of many different traditions

     The USA is a country consisting of 50 states. Among them are the state of New York, Florida, Alabama and many others. The USA is the country where people of different nations came to live in order to become safe, rich and happy.
     Different nations have brought different cultures, customs and traditions into the USA. However there are some holidays and traditions which are marked and celebrated all over the country. Among them are Christmas, New Year, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and others.

4. New Year Around the World

     Celebrating the New Year is a tradition the world over.
     However not every country celebrates it on the same day.
     The Americans and Europeans celebrate their New Year on the First of January(January 1).  The date was introduced by the Romans. Julius Caesar did it to honour James Befus, a god with two faces. One face looks back to the old year and the other looks forward to the new year.
     The Chinese celebrate the New Year according to the lunar calendar, at a time between January 21 and February 19.
In India they celebrate the first day of each season. So the Hindus have four New Years in their calendar.
     However, in every country New Year means the beginning of a new and happier life. All the people want to make the coming year better than the year that has just passed into eternity.

5. The Traditions I Like

     Hello! My name is Misha. I live in Moscow, Russia. I am nine. I am a third year pupil. I go to Modern Education school where I study two languages - Russian and English.
     I've been studying in the school for two and a half years now and I've learnt much about customs, traditions and holidays the world over. What tradition is my favourite?  New Year is very important.  I like to decorate the New Year tree, to write New Year congratulation cards to my friends and relatives and to meet Ded Moroz when he comes with his big sack and grants me with his gifts.
     Another tradition which I like is my birthday.

1.   Customs and Traditions in Great Britain

John and Mary are talking with their cousin Boris about his life in London.
"There are many customs and traditions in Great Britain," Boris says. "One of them is called "Wrong side of the bed."
    "What does it mean, Boris?" Mary asks him.
    "Yes, Boris! Tell us, please!" John asks him, too.
    "My mum says, when people are bad tempered they must get out of bed on the wrong side. The wrong side of the bed is the left side."
     "Oh! Our grandma tells us the same thing!" Mary and John are very surprised. "I think we have many common things with you, Boris!"
      Mary, John and their cousin Boris are laughing together now.

2.   Customs and Traditions in Russia

    Mary and John's cousin Boris is writing an e-mail to his parents now. He is writing about his life in Russia and its customs and traditions.
     People in Russia keep their old customs and traditions and are very proud of them. Russian people usually give up their seats to the elderly or to other people who need it. People usually visit friends not only on holidays and weekends. They can do it without any warning. The Russians, especially Mary and John's family, are very hospitable and open-hearted people. They like to invite guests to their places and give them traditional souvenirs.

3.   Customs and Traditions in the USA

Mary and John are having an English class now. Their teacher is talking about customs and traditions in the USA.
The United States of America is the country with a mixture of cultures. Almost every nation gives something to American traditions and customs.
Americans like smiling, handshaking and joking. Baseball, basketball, football and bowling are their favourite sports. Most of the USA holidays are celebrated in all the states. These are Thanksgiving Day, Columbus Day, Independence Day, Presidents’ Day, Veterans’ Day, Memorial Day, Halloween and St. Valentine’s Day.

4. Strange Customs around the World

Mary and John's parents are reading a book to their children. The book is about strange and interessting customs from different countries. Mary and John are listening to the stories with interest.
There is Teeth tossing in Greece. People put children’s teeth under their pillows and wait for a swap with cash by a fairy.
 In the Satare Mawe tribe men show the courage by placing hands in a basket filled with angry bullet ants. The bites are really painful.
 Then there is Tomato craze in Spain. La Tomatina is the biggest tomato fight that exists. It is a strange culture among the Spanish in Bunol where tomatoes are used as weapons. It is like snowballs fight in Russia.

5. My Favourite Traditions

Hi! My name is Misha. I'm from Russia. I think traditions play an important part in the life of the people. I think if we keep up our traditions we can save national history and culture.
 My favorite family holiday is New Year's Day. A week before the celebration we decorate a New Year tree with colorful glass balls and toys. My family usually has the New Year dinner. When the clock strikes midnight, we give each other presents. Later, we watch TV and relax and go outside to watch fireworks.
  Another celebration which I like is my birthday.

     Russia’s most popular holiday the New Year is just around the corner. The New Year beats Christmas in its importance. The streets are decorated with trees and lights usually 1 to 3 weeks before the holiday itself. It is common to keep the trees until 14th of January.
     Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) always delivers the gifts to children. He carries them in a large sack on his back and he wears valenki, traditional boots made out of wool. He is joined by his granddaughter Snegurochka. It is a New Year’s tradition to place two figures of them under the New Year’s tree.
     Along with eating and decorating the tree watching special holiday programmes on TV is another part of the celebrations.
