Trimester II. 07/01 Tuesday. Class 1

Hello!
I´m glad to see you again in our second course. Today lots of students were absent, most probably still on vacations:) Welcome Ana to our group, hope you´ll have fun with us!

Today we´ve started a new topic that i personally like a lot - "Festivities".
We revised how to say ordinal numbers, as it´s very improtant when we want to say a date
(15 October (the fifteenth of October or October the fifteenth; on 2 February (on the second of February or on February the second).
Here´s a link for you to practise saying the dates (when you click on the date/year you can listen to it).

Also we learnt some famous American and British holidays (Independence Day, St.Valentine´s Day, Christmas, Veterans´ Day, Guy Fawks Night, St.Patrick´s Day, Halloween etc.). We learn about some symbols of these holidays (St.Patrick´s Day - shamrock and green colour, Guy Fawks Night - bonfires and dummies etc.).

We also did a small Festivals Quiz and found out a lot of interesting facts about holidays all over the world. Do you remember them all?

Finally, we read a short history of some holidays and your homework is to read it again and make up 3 questions for each text part.

And now extra task: here´s a link to History of Holidays, read an article "Christmas Facts" and write out 3 facts that you find amazing and then read out in the class (you´ll be rewarded with some extra points for this task).
