II. Warming Up.

Now, let’s see what you remember about St. Valentine’s Day.

Here are some facts from the history of the holiday.

Слайд 3

Учащиеся:

Valentine wasn’t very popular because he was trying to get more and more people for his army. The men didn’t want to go to the army and Claudius thought that it was because they didn’t want to leave their wives and children. “If they don’t get married, they will join the army,” he thought and passed a law which banned marriage.

Слайд 4

Many young people felt sorry for Valentine and visited him in prison. One of them was the daughter of a prison guard. On the day of is execution Valentine wrote a note to her and singed it “Love from your Valentine”. This was on 14 February 269 AD.

Слайд 5

Since then 14 February has been the Day of Love, when people send love letters and presents to each other. They don’t sing the cards with their names, but write “Guess Who” or “Your Valentine”.

Слайд 6

Teacher: And now read what you can read on a valentine:

Pupils:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet

And so are you.

Remember M

Remember E

Put them together

Remember ME.

Слайд 7

Teacher: And now some more facts from the history of the holiday :

At first this was a European tradition, but then it became popular in other countries. It came to Russia too, but a lot of people say, “If you love somebody, you should show it every day, not only one day a year”.

Слайд 8

Teacher: And what symbols of this romantic holiday do you know and can tell about them?

Pupils:

Cupid is a son of Venus, goddess of love. He could cause people to fall in love by piercing them with one of his magic arrows.

Слайд 9

The rose was the flower of Venus, the Roman god of love. Red is a colour that stands for strong feelings. That is why the red rose is a flower of love.

Слайд 10

A long time ago, people believed that all the emotions were found in the heart. In later years, they thought only the emotion of love was connected with the heart. The heart is still a symbol of love, and it is also a symbol of Valentine’s Day.
