THE LABOUR DAY
Americans are proud of their tradition of hard work and many youngsters have been encouraged by their parents to «pull themselves up by their own bootstraps», which means to work hard to increase their economic status. This was the prevailing spirit when Peter J. McQuire, President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, proposed the celebration, and the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City in 1882. Subsequently the idea spread, and various states, beginning with Oregon in 1887, declared the first Monday of September as a legal holiday. Finally, the United States Congress declared it a national holiday on June 28, 1894.

Today the holiday remains as testimony to American Industrialization; however, the image of the «self-made» man has changed. In the post-industrial era of the approaching 21 st century, the profile of the worker has been reshaped by emerging technologies.
The worker songs which are sang on the Labour Day mostly express an attitude of the vulnerability and disposability of the worker, which have become the cause of great social concern as U.S. manufactures move their production facilities to foreign countries in order to take advantage of cheaper labor.
And now we shall sing the song «The Erie Canal», the mule – drivers of the New York states used to sing it in the 19 century.
All students sing the song
Traditional Canal Work Song (since 1820s)
The Erie Canal, completed in 1825 l between Buffalo and Albany, New York, joined the Great Lakes System with the Atlantic Ocean. Boats were pulled by mules which walked alongside the canal on towpaths. The mule drivers were called towpath boys or «hoggies».
I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
She’s a good old worker and a good old pal.
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
We’ve hauled some barges in our day,
Filled with lumber, coal and hay,
And we know every inch of the way,
From Albany to Buffalo.
CHORUS: Low bridge, everybody down,
Low bridge, for we’re coming to a town;
And you’ll always know your neighbor,
You’ll always know your pal,
If you’ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal.
Git up there, Sal, we passed that lock
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
And we’ll make Rome ,fore six o’clock,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
Just one more trip and back we’ll go
Through the rain and sleet and snow,
,Cause we know every inch of the way,
From Albany to Buffalo.
CHORUS: Low bridge, everybody down,
Low bridge, for we’re coming to a town;
And you’ll always know your neighbor,
You’ll always know your pal,
If you’ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

poem
FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS
Five little pumpkins sitting on the gate.
The first one said,”Oh, my, it’s getting late.”
The second one said, “ There are withes in the air.”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run, and run, and run!”
The fifth one said, “I am ready for some fun.”
Ooooooooo went the wind and out went the light,
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

HALLOWEEN (OCTOBER 31ST)
Traditions and Customs
On Halloween children dress up in costumes and go from door at dusk gleefully calling “Trick or Treat!” The holiday gets its name from “All Hallows Evening” or the evening before All Saints Day, November 1, according to the western European Christian church calendar. However, its traditions date back to pre-christian Celtic beliefs once prevalent in what is now known as Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Irish immigrants brought these customs with them to the United States.
October 31 was the eve of the Celtic new year, a time when ghosts or evil spirits walked the earth and mingled mischievously witch the living. Costumes and jack-o-lanterns were thought to protect people from any harm they might cause. A jack-o-lantern is a face carved into one side of a hallowed out pumpkin in which a lighted candle has been placed. This gives it an inviting yellow and orange glow on’a dark autumn night. This is why the Halloween colors are orange and black. Even today small children are told that any house with a jack-o-lantern burning in the window is a safe place to go trick-or-treating. The custom of trick or treating comes from when children dressed in costumes on All Souls’ Day and went from house to house begging for soul cakes.

Перевод
Children still go begging for treats. However, over the last few years, school, church and neighborhood parties are replacing the custom of trick or treating from house to house. More and more adults are also celebrating Halloween with masquerade parties in which they dress up like political and historical figures, or just plain old scary fellows from recent horror films like ghosts, vampires, goblins, Frankenstein, etc. Witches flying on broomsticks with black cast, skeletons, spiders and haunted houses are other symbols of Halloween.
Another popular activity at Halloween parties is bobbing, for apples. One person at a time must get an apple out of a tub of water without using his hand and only by sinking his or her face into the water and biting the apple. The party may start or end with a Halloween costume parade, wherein those with the best or scariest costumes receive prizes. Telling scary stories or “ghost” stories while huddled together by candlelight or around a fire outside is one of the highlights of Halloween night. Any story will do, but it must be spoken in a low, tense voice and reach a startling climax, as does the following story told in Britain and in certain US eastern coastal states.

This is season
When fruit is sweet.
These words are of course about autumn, which is the harvest time. People are always very grateful to nature in Autumn for having a lot of tasty fruit and corn. I’ve heard that the first-year students have a tasty fruit present for all of us, haven’t you?
- Yes!
- You are welcome!

- Fruit present (ИЯШ Т.В. Коханова, стр. 63-64)
Characters: Story-teller, Girl, Pineapple, Banana, Cherries, Plum, Pear, Apple, Mother.
Story-teller: Once a girl decided to bake a cake for her mother’s birthday. She took some fruit out of the fridge and began to think what kind of pie she would bake. And the fruit began to arg
Pineapple: Everybody knows that pineapples is the king of table! Look how beautiful I am! I even have a crown of leaves on my head!
Banana: But nobody bakes piers with pineapples. A pie with banana and apple is quite a different thing! It is so tasty!
Cherries: The best pie in the world is cherry pie. Just imagine – this pie is sweet and sour at the same time.
Plum: But plum is too sweet! Plum pie is the tastiest in the world.
Story-teller: The fruit quarreled. Now they were sitting in different corners of the room and didn’t want to talk to each other. The poor girl didn’t know what to do-it was her mother’s birthday and she had no pie at all! What if she put all the fruit together?
Girl: That is a very good idea. I am very glad of it. First of all I’ll make my batter and the cut the fruit.
Story-teller: But the fruit didn’t like it.
Fruit (all together): You can’t put us in your pie together. It is impossible! It is so ugly!
Pear: If you mix us, the pineapple will become red from the cherry’s juice.
Orange: And the banana will become blue from the plum’s juice!
Apple: Besides, the banana is very soft and if you put it together with pear, the banana will melt while the pear will be hard!
Fruit (all together): We are not going to sit together in the same pie!
Girl: But what should I do? I wanted to celebrate my mother’s birthday ever so much!
Fruit: It’s quite. We will prepare a fruit dinner.
Girl: But what is that?
Banana: For example, you can prepare a very tasty fruit salad. You need a banana, an apple and a pear.
Orange: You can make a wonderful pudding out of me!
Girl: Very well! We’ll make an orange pudding, and what about the cherries?
Cherries: We’ll be the dessert. You can dress us with cream and put us into small glasses.
Girl: That’s great! So I’ll bake a plum pie.
Plum: I agree!
Story-teller: The plum liked this very much. She knew that she was very good for people’s health and that doctors advise people to eat plums in the morning.
Girl: But what about the pineapple?
Story-teller: The girl was glad that the fruit were not quarrelling.
Girl: We have forgotten about you!
- : Oh, no! I’ll be the decoration of the table. Besides, you can cut me into pieces so everyone will get me.
Story-teller: And so they did. When Mother came there was a real celebration.
(The Mother appears).
Mother: What a clever daughter I have! How did you do it?
Girl: My friends helped me! Thank them very much!
Story-teller: All the fruit were lying on the table and were very happy.

Wonderful! Thank you very much. It seems to me that it is the time to tell you about another holiday. In autumn people want to thank the nature and the God and they celebrate The Thanksgiving Day.

THANKSGIVING
Imagine a day set aside for families to come together from near and far to feast and feel thankful for all that they have and you’ve got Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Some families take part in religious ceremonies in the morning, but form most families the highlight of the day is Thanksgiving dinner. Traditionally this feast features roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, squash, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Major college and professional football games are televised that day, and this unites men around the television while women are busy in the kitchen.
This custom began with the Pilgrims in 1621. The Pilgrims were an English religious minority which did not worship the Church of England and therefore suffered persecution. They decided to leave the country in search of religious freedom. King James I gave them a charter to settle in Virginia, where a British colony had been founded in 1607. On September 16, 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower, carrying 102 passengers, left Plymouth harbor in England and sailed west. On November 11, 1620, the Mayflower reached North America. But storm had blown the ship off course and the Pilgrims were far north of Virginia. It took them another month to find a suitable place to settle and, finally, on December 26, 1620, the Pilgrims found a harbor which became the site of the town they named Plymouth, in the present State of Massachusetts. The colonists endured a very hand winter of sickness and starvation by the end of which half were dead. But with the help of the native Indians, who taught them how to fish, hunt, and plant corn, their chances for surviving the winter of 1621 looked much brighter. After a successful harvest, Governor William Bradley decided to hold a special Thanksgiving feast, and invited the Indian chief Massasoit and ninety Indian braves to attend. The Indians brought deer meat or venison to be roasted along with the wild turkeys and other wild game for the feast. They even brought popcorn to share! The original Thanksgiving lasted three whole days and can you believe that all that food was prepared by three women!

The colonists continued to celebrate the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks. George Washington suggest that November 26th be set aside each year for the observance. In 1864, at the end of the tragic Civil War, Abraham Lincoln Established the last Thursday in Novembers as a day for all Americans to give thanks.
Stores, schools, and homes are decorated with various Thanksgiving symbols, including pictures of pilgrims, Indians, turkeys, and harvest still-lifes. The horn of plenty or cornucopia, wreaths of dried flowers, and dried, multi-colored “Indian corn” are often used as door and table decorations. The day after Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the month-long Christmas shopping season, as demonstrated by Santa Claus’s traditional arrival at the end of the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade held in New inH er,r,n «nrprt hv Macv’s department store.

Game “Pass the Parcel”
All students sing the song
Over the river and through the wood,
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow,
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow,
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse know the way to carry the sleigh
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy.
Hooray for the fun pudding done?
Hurray for the pumpkin pie.

And there is one more holiday left. What is important about this holiday is that it is a British one. It is celebrated only in Britain. The holiday is The Guy Fawke’s Night.
Student 10
Guy Fawkes’ Night
In 1605 King James I was on the throne. As a Protestant, he was very unpopular with Roman Catholics. Some of them planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5th November of that year, when the King was going to open Parliament. Under the House of Lords they stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder, which were to be exploded by a man called Guy Fawkes. However, one of the plotters spoke about these plans and Fawkes was discovered, arrested and later hanged. Since that day the English traditionally celebrate 5th November by burning a dummy, made of straw and old clothes, on a bonfire, at the same time letting off fireworks. This dummy is called a ‘guy’ (like Guy Fawkes) anql children can often be seen on the pavements before 5th November saying, ‘Penny for the guy’. If they collect enough money they can buy some fireworks. The event is commemorated every year in Britain with fireworks and bonfires.
Student 11
Remember, remember the Fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ‘twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
With three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow.
With darkened lantern and slow burning match
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring
Holloa boys, holloa boys,
God saves the King!
