Traditions and customs in Great Britain/Обычаи и традиции в Великобритании.

British nation is considered to be the most conservative in Europe. It is not a secret that every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions. In Great Britain people attach greater importance to traditions and customs than in other European countries. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. The best examples are their queen, money system, their weights and measures.

There are many customs and some of them are very old. There is, for example, the Marble Championship, where the British Champion is crowned; he wins a silver cup known among folk dancers as Morris Dancing. Morris Dancing is an event where people, worn in beautiful clothes with ribbons and bells, dance with handkerchiefs or big sticks in their hands, while traditional music-sounds.

Another example is the Boat Race, which takes place on the river Thames, often on Easter Sunday. A boat with a team from Oxford University and one with a team from Cambridge University hold a race.

British people think that the Grand National horse race is the most exciting horse race in the world. It takes place near Liverpool every year. Sometimes it happens the same day as the Boat Race takes place, sometimes a week later. Amateur riders as well as professional jockeys can participate. It is a very famous event.

There are many celebrations in May, especially in the countryside.

Halloween is a day on which many children dress up in unusual costumes. In fact, this holiday has a Celtic origin. The day was originally called All Halloween's Eve, because it happens on October 31, the eve of all Saint's Day. The name was later shortened to Halloween. The Celts celebrated the coming of New Year on that day.

Another tradition is the holiday called Bonfire Night.

On November 5,1605, a man called Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament where the king James 1st was to open Parliament on that day. But Guy Fawkes was unable to realize his plan and was caught and later, hanged. The British still remember that Guy Fawkes' Night. It is another name for this holiday. This day one can see children with figures, made of sacks and straw and dressed in old clothes. On November 5th, children put their figures on the bonfire, burn them, and light their fireworks.

In the end of the year, there is the most famous New Year celebration. In London, many people go to Trafalgar Square on New Year's Eve. There is singing and dancing at 12 o'clock on December 31st.

A popular Scottish event is the Edinburgh Festival of music and drama, which takes place every year. A truly Welsh event is the Eisteddfod, a national festival of traditional poetry and music, with a competition for the best new poem in Welsh.

If we look at English weights and measures, we can be convinced that the British are very conservative people. They do not use the internationally accepted measurements. They have conserved their old measures. There are nine essential measures. For general use, the smallest weight is one ounce, then 16 ounce is equal to a pound. Fourteen pounds is one stone.

The English always give people's weight in pounds and stones. Liquids they measure in pints, quarts and gallons. There are two pints in a quart and four quarts or eight pints are in one gallon. For length, they have inches» foot, yards and miles.

If we have always been used to the metric system therefore the English monetary system could be found rather difficult for us. They have a pound sterling, which is divided into twenty shillings, half-crown is cost two shillings and sixpence, shilling is worth twelve pennies and one penny could be changed by two halfpennies.

Ответ:

Обычаи и традиции в Великобритании.

Британская нация, как полагают, является самой консервативной в Европе. Это не секрет, что каждая нация и каждая страна имеет свои собственные обычаи и традиции. В Великобритании люди уделяют большее внимание традициям и обычаям, чем в других европейских странах. Англичане гордятся своими традициями и тщательно хранят их. Лучший пример — их королева, парламентская монархия, денежная система, их система мер.

Существует много обычаев, и некоторые из них очень древние. Есть, например, мраморный чемпионат, где британского чемпиона коронуют; его награждают серебряным кубком, известным среди танцоров народного танца как Моррис Дансинг. Моррис Дансинг — это событие, когда люди, одетые в красивые одежды с лентами и колокольчиками, танцуют под традиционную музыку, держа в руках носовые платки или большие палки.

Другим примером являются состязания по гребле, которые проходят на реке Темза, часто в Пасхальное Воскресенье. Лодка с командой от Оксфордского университета и вторая лодка с командой от университета Кембриджа плывут наперегонки.

Британцы думают, что большие национальные гонки на лошадях — самая захватывающая гонка в мире. Она проходит около Ливерпуля ежегодно. Иногда это случается в один и тот же день, когда проходят состязания по гребле, иногда это бывает на неделю позже. Могут участвовать как наездники-любители, так. и профессиональные жокеи. Это — очень известный праздник.

Много праздников в мае, особенно в сельской местности.

Хэллоуин — день, когда многие дети наряжаются в необычные костюмы. Фактически, этот праздник имеет кельтское происхождение. День первоначально называли Кануном всего Хэллоуина, потому что это случается 31 октября, накануне Дня всех святых. Название было позже сокращено до Хэллоуина. В этот день кельты праздновали наступление Нового года.

---

Другая традиция — это праздник, который называется Ночь костра.

5 ноября 1605 года человек по имени Гай Фокс планировал взорвать здание парламента, где король Джеймс I должен был в тот день открыть заседание парламента. Но Гаю Фоксу не удалось совершить задуманное, он был пойман и позже повешен. Британцы все еще помнят ту ночь Гая Фокса. Это другое название этого праздника. В этот день можно увидеть детей с фигурками, сделанными из мешковины и соломы и наряженными в старую одежду. 5-го ноября дети помещают свои фигурки в костер и сжигают их, затем зажигают свои фейерверки.

В конце года проходит самый известный новогодний праздник. В Лондоне многие люди на празднование кануна Нового года приходят на Трафальгарскую площадь. Там в 12 часов ночи 31-го декабря они поют и танцуют.

Эдинбургский Фестиваль музыки и драмы — ежегодный популярный шотландский праздник. Настоящим валлийским праздником является Айстедфод, ежегодный фестиваль бардов, национальный фестиваль традиционной поэзии и музыки, с соревнованием за лучшую новую поэму на валлийском языке.

Если мы посмотрим на английскую систему мер и веса, мы можем убедиться, что британцы — очень консервативные люди. Они не используют международную, принятую во всем мире систему мер. Они сохранили свои старые меры. Есть девять основных мер. Для общего использования, наименьшей мерой веса является одна унция, тогда как 16 унций равны фунту. Четырнадцать фунтов — один стоун.

Англичане всегда определяют вес людей в фунтах и стоунах. Меру жидкости они измеряют в пинтах, квартах и галлонах. В кварте — две пинты, в одном галлоне — восемь пинт или четыре кварты. Для измерения длины они используют дюймы, футы, ярды и мили.

Если мы всегда привыкли использовать единицы метрической системы, то английскую денежную систему нам было бы трудно понять. Они имеют фунт стерлингов, который делиться на двадцать шиллингов, полкроны стоит два шиллинга и шесть пенсов, шиллинг стоит двенадцать пенни, один пенни можно поменять на два полпенни.
Пересказ:

People in Great Britain pay great attention to the traditions and customs described in this text.

For example, the marble championship in which the British champion is crowned, he is awarded a silver cup, known among folk dancers as the Morris Dancing. Also, an example is the rowing competition that takes place on the river Thames, often on Easter Sunday. It also says that the British think that the great national horse races are the most exciting races in the world. Another of the holidays is Halloween, a day when many children dress up in unusual costumes (often even mystical and spooky)

Another tradition is a holiday called Bonfire Night.

On this day you can see children with figures made from burlap and straw and dressed up in old clothes. At the end of the year there is the most famous New Year's Eve celebration. In London, many people come to Trafalgar Square to celebrate New Year's Eve. There, at 12 o'clock on the night of December 31, they sing and dance.

The text offered for retelling tells not only about traditions and holidays, but also about the English system of weights and measures, the British are a very conservative people. They do not use the international, internationally accepted system of measures. The British always measure people's weight in pounds and hundredweight. They measure liquids in pints, quarts, and gallons. A quart is two pints, one gallon is eight pints or four quarts. They use inches, feet, yards, and miles to measure length.

They have a pound sterling, which is divided into twenty shillings, a half crown is worth two shillings and six pence, a shilling is worth twelve pennies, one penny can be exchanged for two half pennies.

Выскажите своё мнение, – какие Вам нравятся, какие нет и почему. Расскажите о своём любимом празднике, о том, как принято его праздновать в кругу Вашей семьи.

Ответ:

Every nation has its own culture and traditions. Russia is a unique country with a centuries-old history and long-established national customs. Although, it’s a well-developed country with a high level of culture, most holidays and traditions date back to pagan times.

The best tradition I like is celebrating of New Year. This holiday is celebrated all around the world. But we celebrate it in a particular way. We have traditional Russian salad on the table, TV programs and movies, decorations, Christmas tree, stories and so on. We celebrate New Year in a big company with presents, songs and dances. Children wait for New Year because of our Russian Santa “Ded Moroz”. It is really interesting and funny holiday.

In spring we celebrate Easter. There is no certain day for this holiday, but there are always coloured eggs, Easter pie and family lunch. I like Easter because all my family always gets together.

In the beginning of July we celebrate Ivana Kupala . This is a holiday nobody knows abroad. At night young people can read fortune and their future and jump over the fire. I don't like the holiday Ivana Kupala because people are poured with water.

                        Housing in America/Дома в Америке

Before 1800, the Midwest of America was Indian country. Then, the Europeans came.

They did not like to move around or live in tepees.  They were farmers and they wanted houses.

The first European Americans, the «pioneers», were tough people. They came to a hard country. The summers were hot, the winters were very cold. On the prairies, there were no trees and no stones. There was only earth. So the pioneers cut pieces of grass and earth and built houses with them.

These «sod houses» were very uncomfortable. The rain came in through the roof. Pieces of wet earth fell into food and onto the children’s beds. The pioneers worked hard on their farms to make money. With the money they built bigger, better farmhouses with wood. No Americans live in sod houses now.

It was easy in the Rocky Mountains because there were trees. The pioneers could cut them down and make small wooden houses, called «log cabins». Log cabins were warm and dry inside. The people were poor, but they tried to make their homes comfortable.

Pioneer women had no money, but they wanted nice covers for their beds. They could not buy them, so they cut up old clothes and sewed the pieces together. The beautiful  bedcovers they made are called «patchwork quilts». Many American women still keep their grandmothers’ patchwork quilts, and they like to make new ones with the old patterns.Nearly all the Americans live in towns or cities now. And you can’t be a pioneer in Philadelphia or Chicago. But some people try. They like to go to vacation homes in the mountains, miles away from the cities. A real 200-year-old log cabin is best, but there are lots of new ones too. There, you can put your gun up on the wall above the fireplace. You can listen to the wind outside. You can talk about the bears and rattlesnakes. For two or three weeks you can be a pioneer again.

The great historic places of the Old World are cities, castles, and gardens. But in the New World, some of the most interesting historic places are the roads. Americans remember the great journeys of their history in movies, stories, and pictures. Their grandparents crossed America on horses and in wagons.

But they don’t go in wagons now, of course. They go in mobile homes. Some mobile homes are pulled by the family car. Some, like Winnebagos, have a driver’s cab. Behind the cab there is a room with beds, a small kitchen, a table, a washing place.

Winnebagos are great for vacations. A family can travel in the Winnebago, and stop at campgrounds to sleep and eat. They do not have to spend money on motels. In summer, the campgrounds in the national parks are full of mobile homes.

American factories make new and better mobile homes all the time. Some of them are palaces on wheels. But the idea is not a new one. In 1930s, there were a large number of «Airstreamers» on the road. These wonderful old  mobile homes looked like small space ships. They were made of shiny silver metal. Sometimes you can still see them out on the highways.

Mobile homes are not good only for vacations. Many people live in them. Five percent of all American homes started as mobile homes, but many of them do not travel any more. They parked in trailer parks. People build on new rooms, and grow flowers and trees near them. Soon the mobile homes look like houses. The difference is that mobile homes are much cheaper than houses. Most Americans buy them.
