Celebrating New Year's Day

Hello, Peter! Happy New Year! How are you doing?

Oh thanks, Nora! The same to you and your family! I'm fine. What about you?

I'm great too. I saw you before the New Year's Eve. I was so excited but you looked quite sad. You didn’t have any plans and you were going to see the New Year in sitting at home alone, before your TV.

Yeah. But finally I made up my mind to call over my friends and celebrate at my place.

Wow! That was a fantastic idea! I am sure you enjoyed the party.

We really had much fun.

What did you do?

There were 12 of us altogether. We ate, drank and danced till midnight. Then when the clock struck 12 we drank a toast to the new year.

Did you make any New Year's resolutions for the coming year?

Sure. It's a good tradition for me. I wanna study hard and become the best student in our group. What about your resolution by the way?

Well. I decided to start jogging every morning to lose some weight.

Wow! That's nice. I’m sure you will succeed in it and you won’t give up your jogging.

Thanks, Peter. So what did you do after midnight? Did you go to bed?

Oh no! After midnight we packed some food and had a great picnic in the park. It was so crowded there. We almost lost each other among the people. Anyway it was awesome. We watched colorful fireworks, went skating on the ice rink and played funny games.

That sounds super. I will definitely go there next year.

We should go together, Nora.

O.K. And let’s just hope that the year goes well.

I would like to devote our today's lesson to fun, holidays, thereby creating a festive mood in English! Probably, there is not a single person who does not like holidays and vacations. Everyone likes such days, because the holiday is fun, fireworks, joy, good mood. How to talk about holidays, vacations and recreation in English?

Today we want to talk about how to build and conduct an English lesson on the Holidays theme. This is a very important topic, as it is quite common in the school English curriculum.

The curious thing about the English language is that the same word can have several meanings. So in this case. And really, what is that interesting word? And it is curious in that it has two meanings:

• How are you going to celebrate winter holidays? - How are you going to celebrate the winter holidays?

As you can see, both sentences are winter holidays, but the meaning changes depending on the meaning and context of the sentence.

Talking about the holidays in English

Children can learn to compose short stories or dialogues about how they spend their holidays or celebrate the holidays. This is especially true when children are asked to write an essay about how they spent their holidays. Our task is to help them in this.

Give the children five to seven words on the topic of vacations and ask them to talk about their vacations or holidays using those words. For example:

• Holidays - vacations, holidays
• Summer - summer
• Have a rest - rest
• Lake - lake
• Forest - forest
• Seaside - sea
• Joyful - cheerful

The story might look something like this:

I spent very well my summer holidays. It was very interesting and exciting. We had a rest with our family. We went to the village with our friends. There we went to the lake, after that we went to the forest. In July we went to the seaside. It was joyful. Summer is great!
