ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ

для урока-праздника “St. Patrick’s Day”.

Show me the Scotchman who doesn’t love the thistle,

Show me the Englishman who doesn’t love the roses,

But show me a true-hearted son of old Ireland

Who doesn’t love the spot where the shamrock grows.

История праздникаSt. Patrick’s Day

• March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. It is a day to remember the Irish people in the United States and Ireland. Ireland is a country with a lot of green grass and shamrocks. Shamrocks are small plants with three leaves. There is a lot of green in Ireland, so green is Ireland’s national color.

• People often wear green clothes on St. Patrick’s Day. There are parades like the one in the picture. Many people go to parties. They sing, dance, and eat Irish food. Some people even drink green beer.

• St. Patrick was a priest in Ireland many ears ago. He taught the Irish people about God. There are many stories about St. Patrick. One story says there are no snakes in Ireland because St. Patrick sent them away. St. Patrick died on March 17 in the year 461.

• Beginning in 1845, many Irish people moved to the United States. They come because there wasn’t enough food to eat in Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations helped the Irish remember their country, their music, and their families.

Лимерики

• Есть люди, которые очень любят «говорить чепуху». Да еще в стихах! Такие стихи даже называются по особому – ЛИМЕРИКИ. В них всего пять строчек. причем к первой строчке можно задать вопросы «Кто?» и «Откуда?»; ко второй строчке подходит вопрос «Какой? Какая?»; к двум следующим – «Что произошло?»; и, наконец, к последней строчке – «Чем закончилось?»

• Кстати, откуда появилось название этих стихов? В Ирландии есть город Лимерик (Limerick). Там такие стихи и по сей день можно услышать чуть ли не на каждом углу. Вот оттуда, полагают, все и началось…

Лимерики Эдварда Лира:

There was a young Lady whose nose,Was so long that it reached to her toes;So she hired an Old Lady, whose

conduct was steady,To carry that wonderful nose.

There was Old Man of Peru,Who watched his wife making a stew;But once by mistake in a stove she did

bakeThat unfortunate Man of Peru.

Молодая особа, чей нос Рос, пока до земли не дорос,За пятак и полушкуНанимала старушку,Чтоб носить свой немыслимый нос.

Знаменитый старик из Эль-ПасоНаблюдал, как жена жарит мясо.Но она как-то в тестеЗапекла с мясом вместеСвоего старика из Эль-Пасо.
