STUDENT 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Good afternoon, it’s lovely to meet you here at the festival of the English language, the festival devoted to St. Patrick’s day.
Выходят 3 человека и один держит в руках четырёхлистник. (STUDENT 2, 3, 4)
STUDENT 1: Hello, (NAME), the nice weather today in March! it’s only the seventeenth of March, but it’s really warm!
STUDENT 2: Yes, it is. Oh…where is it?
STUDENT 1: (NAME), my dear, what are you doing?
STUDENT 2: I’m looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One leaf is sunshine,
The second is rain,
Third is the rose
That grows in the lane.
No need explaining
The one remaining
Is somebody I adoure.
I’m looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
STUDENT 1: Oh. . I see now and what does it mean, I don’t know anything about this plant.
STUDENT 3: it’s shamrock. Look at this nice green leaves. Today it brings luck
STUDENT 3 рассказывает стихотворение Five Little Shamrocks
One green shamrock, in the morning dew;
Another one sprouted;
And then there were two.
Two green shamrocks, growing 'neath the tree,
Another one sprouted;
And then there were three.
Three green shamrocks, by the cottage door,
Another one sprouted;
And then there were four.
Four green shamrocks, near a beehive;
Another one sprouted;
And then there were five.
Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald
Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,
Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring
STUDENT 1:Strange, I have never seen this plant before
STUDENT 4: Really, it looks like this and I can tell you more about it
There's a dear little plant that grows in Ireland.
'Twas Saint Patrick himself sure that set it.
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile.
And a tear from his eyes oft - times wet it.
It grows thro' the bog, thro' the brake, and the mireland,
And it's called the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.
That dear little plant still grows in our land,
Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin,
Whose smiles can bewitch, and whose eyes can command,
In each climate they ever appear in:
For they shine thro' the bog, thro' the brake, and the mireland,
Just like their own dear little Shamrock of Ireland.
That dear little plant that springs from our soil,
When it's three little leaves are extended,
Denotes from the stalk we together should toil,
And ourselves by ourselves be befriended.
And still thro' the bog, thro' the brake, and the mireland,
From one root should branch, like the Shamrock of Ireland.
STUDENT 1: oh yes, I see, I forgot, but today is st Patrick day! In Ireland, people usually celebrate it on the 17 of March. Green is the color of the day. All people wear something green. In Ireland there is a tradition to fasten a shamrock to clothes. It symbolizes a cross. St. Patrick's Day is fun to celebrate by doing things like decorating shamrock cookies or making shamrock necklaces or pins. If you're planning a St. Patrick's Day party you can use your homemade shamrock jewelry for playing a party game. Each person wear their shamrock necklace or pin and tell them that they may not cross any part of their bodies, i. e. hands, legs or feet. They then must keep an eye on all the other party guests and if they catch anyone crossing anything, they may go to that person and request their shamrock jewelry and wear it in addition to their own. The person wearing the most shamrock jewelry by the end of the party is the winner of this game.
STUDENT 5: And I know one more tradition on this day
When I got on the school bus,
I was in for a surprise.
My friends all stared and pointed.
There was mischief in their eyes.
A kid who sat in front of me
reached out and pinched my knee.
My friends all started laughing,
but the joke was lost on me.
And then I got my second pinch.
I felt it on my ear.
And then I felt a third and fourth.
You guessed it - - on my rear.
I asked, "Why are you pinching me?
I think it's very mean!"
They said, "Today's St. Patrick's Day
and you're not wearing green. "
