Задание 1.Прочитайте и переведите текст о праздниках в США.
Every country has its own holidays. They reflect the history of the country and its cultural and religious traditions. Some religious holidays are common in different countries. They are Christmas and Easter.
Americans celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. They buy a lot of presents for each other, for their parents, children and friends.
The New Year’s day, the 1st of January is not so widely celebrated in the United States as we do it in Russia.
Of course, the most important holiday in America is the 4th of July, The Independence Day. People like to watch colourful fireworks in the evening. The 4th of July is the day-off and people don’t go to work.
The holidays when people don’t go to work are: Martin Luther King’s day on the 20th of January, Labour Day on the 7th of September and Thanksgiving on the last Friday of November. On Thanksgiving Americans usually eat turkey. This holiday reminds the time when the first colonists (pilgrims) from England came to America in 1620 and could survive in the unknown land. There is still a big white stone on the shore in Plymouth in Massachusetts, that the pilgrims landed on. It is called «The Plymouth Rock».
The 31st of October is the children’s most favourite holiday – Halloween. On this day children, dressed in funny dresses visit their neighbours and say «Trick or treat!» and get sweets.
The rest of the holidays are usually on weekends. They are: the Flag’s Day, Mother’s Day, Armed Forces Day. Americans also celebrate Lincoln’s birthday, Washington’s birthday, President’s Day in February.
The 14th of February is Valentine’s day or as it is called «All Lovers Day».

Many veterans took part in the military parade and laid wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. All stood in silence for a minute. Radio and television broadcast popular war songs all day long.
