Read the text  and write down your  short story about  the celebration of Easter in Ukraine. Does it differ from  other countries?

Easter is an international holiday, but the customs of its celebration in different countries differ significantly. For example, in Germany there is a belief that Easter bunny brings gifts for children to Easter. Usually, children receive gifts from cute baskets, where coloured eggs are laid as if in a nest. In Britain, a tradition has taken root on Easter to “hug” the church, people form a living ring, holding hands and surrounding the Temple. There is something similar in Ukraine, because usually during the consecration of Easter baskets, people surround the church around      ( of course when there is no quarantine ). Also in England there is a ceremony for Easter to play football with a keg of ale, after which the ale is drunk all together. In Britain, dances and dances are also common in parks and squares of cities in honour of the Great Easter Holiday.The traditional game for Easter in Ukraine is considered to be a cue ball game. Sitting at the table, it is necessary to fight krashenki, whose krashenka will crack first, and he lost.

Example of your story:

Easter is the most wonderful holiday in our family. My grandmother bakes paskas. My Mum and I colour Easter eggs. To decorate the eggs in our favourite work. In the morning we go to the church. After that we go back home with our baskets, full of blessed food. Then we have breakfast together. Another tradition of the family is to prepare some small tasty presents for all the members of the family. They are usually chocolate eggs or chocolate rabbits. We are happy to be together on that day. I think this is our best family tradition.

I think that this year we can play  this  game with coloured eggs.

I also like the wish on Willow Sunday very much.

Be as tall as the willow, as healthy as the water, as rich as the earth.

 Read the information below and discuss what sort of viewer you are.

HOW DO YOU WATCH TV?

People watch TV in different ways. Here are some types of television viewers.

The absent-minded

This type of viewer has the TV on from morning till night. Meanwhile he eats, phones, reads or does his homework. For him television is a background noise.

The addict

He watches the programmes in silence. He is highly concentrated. He won’t switch to another channel even in time of commercials for fear of losing something. He won’t give up TV for anything in the world.

The bored

He turns on TV when he hasn’t got anything better to do. He only watches it when it’s raining or when he is ill. It is just the way to while the time away.

Now discuss your relationship with television.

1. Before you turn on the TV you study the TV programme.

a) rarely

b) sometimes

c) often

a) rarely

b) sometimes

c) often

3. You’ve got your favourite programmes and you can’t miss them.

a) none

b) some

c) a lot

4. You like to discuss what you’ve seen with your friends.

a) rarely

b) sometimes

c) often

Look through the answers and say whether you agree with them or not.

✵ Majority of A answers. For you watching TV is a way of escaping from reality. TV keeps your company and doesn’t ask for much in return. Be careful not to isolate yourself from others or give up more interesting things. Sometimes it’s good to escape from reality, but it’s important that you shouldn’t do it too often.

✵ Majority of B answers. Television isn’t very important for you. It’s not a problem to give it up if there is something more interesting to do. But if you have to stay at home, you watch whatever is on TV that night. So, be careful not to be too superficial in your choices!

✵ Majority of  C answers. You’ve got an active relationship with TV. You’ve got a critical sense and know how to choose programmes. Be careful not to give TV too much importance and don’t let it influence your language and way of life too much. Sometimes it’s better to read a book.

My favourite TV-channel is Discovery Science. I watch this channel since childhood and I must say that thanks to it my perception of the world became richer.  I have learned many interesting things, connected with science, technology and history. In fact, Discovery comes in many different languages. So, when I want to improve my listening skills I watch it in English. This channel was launched in 1985 in the USA. Originally it consisted only of documentary programs about popular science. However, later it expanded into reality television and soon it became one of the best channels of non-fiction programming in the world.
