Teacher: Учитель читает стихотворение, которое представляет собой смесь английского и русского языков, что помогает догадаться, о чем пойдет речь и вспомнить некоторые ключевые слова по теме.

Santa Clause стучит к нам в дверь:
“Open, open поскорей!”
Ему дети говорят: «Please, come in»
Он очень рад.
Видит он a Christmas tree,
И гирлянды, и шары.
А на самом на верху
Видит он a star – звезду.
“Do you like it?” – “Yes, I do!
Merry Christmas to you!”

Believe - Polar Express

Children, sleeping.
Snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling,
Like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers,
Not so long ago.
But one by one, we
All had to grow up.

When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
Give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.

Teacher: So, it’s time to finish our lesson. You have decorated our Christmas Tree and write Christmas cards. You have learnt some interesting facts about Christmas. You had some fun: you have solved the rebuses, sung the song. And what do you think about our lesson? (Рефлексия. Учащиеся высказывают свое мнение.)
