Слайд 1.

Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions.

Englishmen are very proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up.

Some ceremonies are rather formal, such as the Changing of the Guard, Trooping the Colour, the State opening of Parliament, the Ceremony of Keys.

Some customs are famous all over the world – bowler hats, 5 o’clock tea, talking about the weather, for example.

Слайд 2.

They say: “An Englishman’s home is his castle” and it’s true.

The Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats.

Traditionally, it is a two – storey house with a lawn in front of it and a garden behind it.

British houses are not large, but comfortable and well – planned.

The British used to say: “There is no place like home” or “East or west – home is best”.

Слайд 3.

In English homes the fire – place has always been the centre of interest in the room.

People are fond of sitting round the fire watching dancing flames.

Above the fire – place there is a shelf on which you can see candles and Christmas cards.

On Christmas Eve people hang stockings, because children believe that Santa Clause will come down the chimney and fill them with presents.

A carrot for the reindeer is left on the mantel - piece.

Слайд 4.

One of the most famous English traditions is 5 o’clock tea.

Afternoon tea can hardly be called a meal, it is a sort of meeting when friends come in for a chat and they have a cup of tea with cake or biscuit.

5 o’clock tea is not usually served at the table though Englishmen don’t find it convenient.

Each person has a cup and saucer and a spoon in his hands.

Strong tea is mostly drunk with sugar and cream or milk – such tea is known as English tea.

Tea with lemon is called Russian tea in England.

Слайд 5.

Everybody knows that Englishmen like animals.

Their care of them is touching.

As a rule there is a pet in every English home.

It can be a dog, a cat, a bird, a guinea – pig, a hedgehog, even a snake or a monkey.

But their favourites, of course, are dogs of any kinds and horses.

Even the domestic cat is, for the most part, only viewed as an inferior kind of dog.

Слайд 6.

Englishmen are fond of gardening.

They like to grow plants and to look after them.

Special attention is given to every bed of flowers, each bush or a tree.

The Englishmen are great lovers of roses and , as you remember, the national symbol of England is a rose.

Flower - shows and vegetable - shows , with prizes for the best exhibits , are very popular.

As you know the Englishmen prefer to live in houses rather than flats and gardening for them is the most loving and popular hobby.

Much leisure time is spent by people in their individual plots in the countryside.
