Т: Do you agree with the following statements? To write a good, interesting letter is a real art. It is very important to write correctly and neatly.
Read some advices to make sure about the right way of writing your informal letter. The Art of Letter-Writing.
(H04): The art of letter-writing
Everyone likes to receive letters from relatives, friends and people we love. But not all of us like to write letters. Perhaps you have heard people say: "I don't know what to write in letters", or "I hate writing letters".
To write a good, interesting letter is a real art. Here are some rules you should follow if you want to write an interesting letter to your friend.
1. Make the content of your letter interesting.
Make sure that the news which you are eager to share with your friend will be of interest to your friend. Have his/her last letter in front of you so that you can answer all of his/her questions.
2. Have an interesting beginning.
The spirit of your letter is in the first paragraph. Show how glad you were to receive his/her letter or describe the most interesting thing that has happened to you.
3. Think of a good ending.
The final impression is as important as the first one. That's why much significance should be attached to the last words. Never write sentences like this: "Since I have no other news to write, I had better close". This shows that writing this letter is a case of duty not interest, to you. You may close by wishing your friend success in something that you know is of importance to him/her.
4. Think of an interesting style.
Write to your friend in a way as if you were talking to him/her. But the degree of informality depends upon the person to whom you are writing. Show your personality and good humor in every letter that you write to your friend.
5. Write clearly, correctly and neatly.
Keep in mind, that if a letter is written in a sloppy way, your friend will read it with less understanding and interest.

II. ОСНОВНА ЧАСТИНА УРОКУ
Reading 1. Пред'явлення тексту для читання "National Traditions, Habits and Customs of Great Britain" (HO1).
Т: Do you know that in Britain:
- strangers usually don't talk to each other on trains?
- it is polite to queue for everything: buses, theatre, tickets, in shops, etc?
- people say "thank you" when they give money to a shop assistant?
- people don't take their shoes off when they enter a house?
- people wash in their own bath water?
These are national habits. A habit is something we do very often, sometimes these habits become customs. Our habits and customs can appear very strange to other people and it is usually foreigners who notice them.
What about your country? Do you talk to strangers in your country? Do you automatically queue? Or not?
Т: Look through the text and say if you find any British habits strange and unusual.
(HO2): National Traditions, Habits and Customs of Great Britain
Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions. In Britain traditions play a more important part in the life of the people than in other countries. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. Foreigners coming to England are struck at once by quite a number of customs and peculiarities in English life.
Some ceremonies are rather formal, such as the Changing the guard at Buckingham Palace. Sometimes you will see of group of cavalrymen riding on horses, backs through the streets of London. They wear red uniforms, shining helmets, long black boots and long white gloves. These men are Life Guards. Their-special duty is to guard the king or the queen of Great Britain and very important quests of the country.
To this day an English family prefers a house with a fireplace and a garden to a flat in a modern house with central heating. Most English love gardens.
Sometimes the garden in front of the house is a little square covered with cement painted green in imitation of grass and a box of flowers. They love flowers very much.
The English people like animals very much, too. Pet dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, canaries and other friends of man have a much better life in Britain than anywhere else. In Britain they have special dog shops selling food, clothes and other things for dogs.
Foreigners often laugh at English people.
They say "In England you get chips with everything!" But even the British don't eat chips with their breakfast.
However, the traditional English breakfast is a big meal. Visitors to Britain often think that breakfast is the best meal of the day.
A traditional English breakfast consists of bacon and sausage with eggs and tomatoes, milk, cornflakes, toast, tea, marmalade and butter. It is so big that you can easily go without lunch. However, there is a lot of fat in this kind of breakfast and today many people eat a healthier one.
