My Bonnie
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead
The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my Bonnie to me.

Much of Wales’s landscape is mountainous, especially in the north and central regions. The highest mountain is Snowdon. There are also a lot of beautiful lakes in the country. These are Wales’s picturesque landscapes that attract tourists from all over the world.

Wales has its own interesting culture including language, customs, holidays and music. The country is represented by the symbol of the red Welsh Dragon, which is depicted on the national flag. The flag of Wales, brought to Britain by Romans, is one of the oldest in the world. Other symbols of the country are leeks and daffodils.

Group 2: 

The national flag of England, known as St. George's Cross, has been England's national flag since the 13th century. It became associated with Saint George, which claimed him as their patron saint and used his cross as a banner. Since 1606 the St George's Cross has formed part of the design of the Union Flag, a Pan-British flag designed by King James I.

The Lion is a national animal of England. Lion was the nickname of England's medieval warrior rulers with a reputation for bravery, such as Richard I of England, known as Richard the Lionheart. Lions are frequently depicted in English heraldry. They also appear in sculpture, and sites of national importance, such as Trafalgar Square. The lion is used as a symbol of English sporting teams, such as the England national football team.

Northern Ireland

Group 3: Northern Ireland is the smallest part of the UK. «Ulster» is sometimes used as equivalent to Northern Ireland because it contains six counties of the historic province of Ulster.

The Northern Ireland has its own flower symbol. It is shamrock. The legend told that with the help of this three-leaf plant St. Patrick explained the Trinity. He said that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit can’t exist separately as the shamrock can’t be with one leave. And later his followers used to wear the shamrock on St. Patrick's Day.

The national flag of Northern Ireland is the Cross of St. Patrick red diagonal crosses on the white ground. A number of symbols of peace have been used over the past thirty years by various organisations. Most recently those campaigning for peace have worn a white ribbon in their lapels. In the past white paper doves have been held aloft at peace demonstrations.

Group 4: The national symbols of Scotland are flags, icons or cultural expressions that are emblematic, representative or otherwise characteristic of Scotland or Scottish culture. As a rule, these national symbols are cultural icons that have emerged from Scottish folklore and tradition, meaning few have any official status.

However, most if not all maintain recognition at a national or international level, and some, such as the Royal Arms of Scotland, have been codified in heraldry, and are established, official and recognised symbols of Scotland.

National animal of Scotland is Unicorn.

The thistle, the floral emblem of Scotland, also features in Scottish & British heraldry through symbols, logos, coats of arms and on British currency.

Heather is also considered to be a symbol of Scotland. Wearing a sprig of heather is believed to bring good luck.

T: I want you to listen the ballad “The Heather Ale” by Robert Louis Stevenson

(Приложение: Мультимедийное сопровождение занятия, слайд 18)

The Heather Ale

From the bonny bells of heather,

They brewed a drink long syne,

Was sweeter far than honey,

Was stronger far than wine.

They brewed it and they drank it,

And lay in blessed swound,

For days and days together,

In their dwellings underground.

There rose a King in Scotland,

A fell man to his foes,

He smote the Picts in battle,

He hunted them like roes.

Over miles of the red mountain

He hunted as they fled,

And strewed the dwarfish bodies

Of the dying and the dead.

Summer came in the country,

Red was the heather bell,

But the manner of the brewing,

Was none alive to tell.

In graves that were like children’s

On many a mountain’s head,

The Brewsters of the Heather

Lay numbered with the dead.

The king in the red moorland

Rode on a summer’s day;

And the bees hummed and the curlews

Cried beside the way.

The King rode and was angry,

Black was his brow and pale,

To rule in a land of heather,

And lack the Heather Ale.

It fortuned that his vassals,

Riding free upon the heath,

Came on a stone that was fallen

And vermin hid beneath.

Roughly plucked from their hiding,

Never a word they spoke:

A son and his aged father

–Last of the dwarfish folk.

The king sat high on his charger,

He looked down on the little men;

And the dwarfish and swarthy couple

Looked at the king again.

Down by the shore he had them:

And there on the giddy brink

–“I will give thee life ye vermin,

For the secret of the drink.”

There stood the son and father

And they looked high and low;

The heather was red around them,

The sea rumbled below.

And up spoke the father,

Shrill was his voice to hear:

“I have a word in private,

A word for the royal ear.

“Life is dear to the aged,

And honour a little thing;

I would gladly sell the secret”,

Quoth the Pict to the King.

His voice was small as a sparrow’s,

And shrill and wonderful clear:

“I would gladly sell my secret,

Only my son I fear.

“For life is a little matter,

And death is nought to the young;

And I dare not sell my honour,

Under the eye of my son.

Take him, O king, and bind him,

And cast him far in the deep;

And it’s I will tell the secret

That I have sworn to keep.”

They took the son and bound him,

Neck and heels in a thong,

And a lad took him and swung him,

And flung him far and strong

And the sea swallowed his body,

Like that of a child of ten;

And there on the cliff stood the father,

Last of the dwarfish men.

“True was the word I told you:

Only my son I feared;

For I doubt the sapling courage,

That goes without the beard.

But now in vain is the torture,

Fire shall not avail:

Here dies in my bosom

The secret of the Heather Ale.”

Now let’s have a rest.

“Close your eyes and listen to my voice. Breath easily and calmly. Imagine that you are in a meadow on a beautiful summer day. Right in front of you, you see a magnificent butterfly fluttering from flower to flower. Follow the movements of its wings. The movements of its wings are light and graceful. Now let everyone imagine that he is a butterfly, that he has beautiful and large wings. Feel, your wings move slowly and smoothly up and down. Enjoy the feeling of floating slowly and smoothly in the air. Now take a look at the mottled meadow you're flying over. Look at all the bright colors on it. Find the most beautiful flower with your eyes and gradually begin to approach it. Now you can smell the fragrance of your flower. Slowly and smoothly, you sit on the soft, fragrant center of the flower. Inhale its fragrance again... and open your eyes."

«Закройте глаза и слушайте мой голос. Дышите легко и спокойно. Представьте себе, что вы находитесь на лугу в прекрасный летний день. Прямо перед собой вы видите великолепную бабочку, порхающую с цветка на цветок. Проследите за движениями ее крыльев. Движения ее крыльев легки и грациозны. Теперь пусть каждый вообразит, что он — бабочка, что у него красивые и большие крылья. Почувствуйте, как ваши крылья медленно и плавно движутся вверх и вниз. Наслаждайтесь ощущением медленного и плавного парения в воздухе. А теперь взгляните на пестрый луг, над которым вы летите. Посмотрите, сколько на нем ярких цветов. Найдите глазами самый красивый цветок и постепенно начинайте приближаться к нему. Теперь вы чувствуете аромат своего цветка. Медленно и плавно вы садитесь на мягкую пахучую серединку цветка. Вдохните еще раз его аромат... и откройте глаза».

It’s history numbers millennium, beginning from the Celtic festival Samhejn, the Roman Day of Pomona (the goddess of plants) and Christian «Day of all sacred».

3. This holiday falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous.

The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.
