Прослушивание и чтение вслух текста Гимн Америки

O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

О, скажи, видишь ты в первых солнца лучах

Что средь битвы мы или на вечерней зарнице?

В синем с россыпью звёзд полосатый наш флаг

Красно-белым огнём с баррикад вновь явится.

Ночью сполох ракет на него бросал свет

Это подлым врагам был наш гордый ответ.

Так скажи, неужель, будет жить он всегда

Где земля храбрецов, где свободных страна?

Its text was taken from the poem "The Defense of Fort Mchenry", written in 1814 by Francis Scott

Key. The author, a 35-year-old lawyer and part-time amateur poet, wrote this text after witnessing the

shelling of the Mchenry Fortress in Baltimore by British ships during the War of 1812. The first

performance took place in Baltimore on October 29 after the American premiere of August von

Kotzebue's play Count Benevsky. The song became officially used in the US Navy (in 1889), then in

the White House (in 1916), and on March 3, 1931, it was declared the national anthem by a resolution

of Congress. Before that, there was no officially enshrined US national anthem. Until 1931, either the

Hail Columbia song or the My Country song, 'Tis of Thee, were used in practice as the US anthem.

The banner studded with stars is the American flag, hence the name of the anthem. The song has 4

verses, but today only the first of them is widely known.

1)

Who and when wrote the text of the anthem? written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key

2)

What was the author? lawyer and part-time amateur poet

3)

How old was he? 35

4)

Under what circumstances did he write the anthem? after witnessing the shelling of the Mchenry

Fortress in Baltimore by British ships during the War of 1812

Baltimore on October 29

6)

When did the song become officially used? The song became officially used in the US Navy (in

1889), then in the White House (in 1916)

7)

When was it declared the national anthem? on March 3, 1931, it was declared the national anthem

by a resolution of Congress.

8)

Why is it called so? The banner studded with stars is the American flag, hence the name of the

Его текст был взят из поэмы «Оборона Форта Макгенри», написанной в 1814 году Фрэнсисом

Скоттом Ки. Автор, 35-летний адвокат и по совместительству поэт-любитель, написал этот

текст после того, как стал свидетелем обстрела крепости Макгенри в Балтиморе британскими

кораблями в период войны 1812 года. Первое исполнение состоялось в Балтиморе 29 октября

после американской премьеры пьесы Августа фон Коцебу «Граф Бенёвский». Песня стала

официально использоваться в Военно-морских силах США (в 1889), затем в Белом доме (в

1916), а 3 марта 1931 года резолюцией Конгресса была объявлена национальным гимном.

До этого официально закреплённого законом гимна США не было. До 1931 года в качестве

гимна США на практике использовались либо песня Hail Columbia, либо песня My Country, 'Tis

of Thee. Знамя, усыпанное звёздами -это американский флаг, отсюда и название гимна.

Песня имеет 4 куплета, но сегодня только первый из них является широко известным.

Stars and Stripes.

The history of Old Glory goes back to early colonial days. The first banner used in the colonies was, of

course, the standard English flag, consisting of a red cross on a white field. The flags of the separate

colonies followed the same lines except that occasionally a pine tree, or a hemisphere, was figured in

the upper left quarter of the cross.

The beginning of the Revolution brought a flood of suggestions as to the design for a new standard.

But it was not until June 14,1777, that official action was taken, when the Continental Congress passed

a resolution fixing the design as thirteen alternate red and white stripes, and thirteen white stars on a

blue field. Each star and each stripe represented a state. As each new state was admitted to the Union, a

star and a stripe were added, but it was soon realized that the addition of many more stripes would

make the flag too bulky. Consequent

ly

, after having been increased to fifteen, the number of bars was

reduced to the original number. But the number of stars steadily increased, until the present number of

50 equals the same number of states. The story goes that Betty Ross sewed the first flag, and it was at

her suggestion that five-pointed, instead of six-pointed, stars were used.

While controversy continues as to why Congress selected this design, there is good reason to believe

that the coat of arms of the Washington family, which con

tain

s both stars and stripes, furnished the

inspiration.

It is interesting to note that, prior to the adoption of an official flag, a banner frequently used bore the

figure of a rattlesnake, coiled to strike, with the motto, «Don’t tread on me.»

Washington, the capital of the United States is situated on the Potomac River in the District of

Columbia. The district is a piece of land which does not belong to any one state but to all the states.

The district is named in honor of Columbus, the discoverer of America.

Washington was founded in 1791 for the purpose of serving as the capital of the United States of

America. George Washington chose the place located midway to keep at close touch as possible

between the states. Washington is quite new as it didn't exist for two hundred years. The population

of the city is nearly million people. It is not a very large city, but it is very important as the capital of

the USA. There is a law in Washington against building structures higher than the Capitol; therefore

it presents a different appearance from New York with its skyscrapers.

Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest is the Capitol, where the Congress

meets. It is a very beautiful building with white marble columns. Not far from the Capitol is the

Library of Congress. It holds five million books.

The White House, the residence of the president is the oldest public structure in the capital and one of

the most beautiful. It was built in 1799. It is a two storied white building. It is said that in 1812 when

England was at war with America the British entered the city and some of the buildings, including

the Capitol and the house of the president were set on fire. Two years later in order to hide the marks

of the fire, the brown stone walls of the president's home were painted white and it has been the

White House ever since.

Not far from the Capitol is the Washington monument, which looks like a very big pencil. It rises 160

meters and it is empty inside. A special lift brings visitors to the top in 70 seconds from where they

can enjoy a view of the city.

The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA Thomas Jefferson,

who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence. The Memorial is surrounded by cherry

trees.

The Lincoln Memorial is devoted to the memory of the sixteenth President of the USA, the author of

the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.

THE CAPITOL. Jenkins Hill was chosen as the site for the nation’s capitol building. The design

featured two identical wings, one for the House of Representatives and one for the Senate, joined by a

round, domed center room, called a rotunda. George Washington laid the corner stone for the Capitol

with a silver trowel on September 18, 1793. The sculpture “Freedom” on the top of the Capitol dome

was put in place in 1830. In 1959 the Capitol was enlarged again. Today the Capitol contains 540

rooms.

THE WHITE HOUSE. The oldest public building in Washington, D.C., is also the most famous

residence in America. George Washington never lived in the White House. The White House has been

the home of all American presidents since November 1800 when George Washington’s successor,

John Adams moved in it with a prayer “May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.”

The White House has 132 rooms and 20 bathrooms.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The Confederation Congress decided to erect a monument to

George Washington in 1783. But the monument remained an idea until Independence Day 1848 and it

was finished finally in 1884. Three years later the Washington Monument was opened to public. The

Washington Monument rises 555 feet and is surrounded by 50 American flags. It is the tallest point in

Washington, D.C. Some people call the monument “Pencil” due to the form.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL. The magnificent memorial building is constructed of white Colorado Yule

marble. A magnificent 19-feet marble statue by Daniel Chester French of a pensive but resolute

Lincoln seated in a chair, dominates the inner space of the memorial. Below the memorial lines a

rectangular pool of water, the Reflecting Pool. Inscribed in stone on an inner wall facing Lincoln’s

statue is his Gettysburg Address from 1863.

THE PENTAGON. The Pentagon is a building in Arlington, Virginia, near Washington, D.C. It has

the offices of the U.S. Department of Defense. The Department of Defense includes the Army, Navy,

Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The word pentagon comes from the Greek penta, which means

“five”. A pentagon is a figure with five sides. The Pentagon has five rings. The rings are inside each

other. Each ring has five sides. Each ring is five stories tall.

New York, or the Big Apple, as the Americans often call it, is the largest city in the USA and in the

whole world. It stands in the mouth of the Hudson River. The people of New York City (NYC) live

within five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Manhattan Island,

the oldest part of the city, was bought from the Native Americans for the amount of goods worth $ 26.

Now it is one of the busiest financial and cultural centre in the world, offering the visitors a unique

collection of experiences and attractions. There is a wide choice of internationally acclaimed theatres,

restaurants and museums, historic parks and churches.

Manhattan is also a district of business and finance. In Wall Street there are offices of large companies

and banks, as well as New York Stock Exchange, which dominates the business life of the whole

world. New York is an international city. On the map of Manhattan one can find Little Italy with the

Italian restaurants and its own way of life, Brighton Beach, where the immigrants from the former

Soviet Union live and Chinatown, inhabited by the Chinese. NY is also famous for its fine department

stores and boutiques. In the evening you can enjoy one of its many nightclubs, the ballet, opera, a show

or concert. Broadway is the centre of nightlife. It is the longest street in New York with many sights.

The best way to go around NY is on foot. One word applies to driving your own car in Manhattan:

don’t! Streets are jammed and the parking is scarce and astronomically expensive.

However, NYC is a paradise for walkers, who enjoy the finest window shopping and people-watching.

When proper caution is exercised, most areas are safe. It is best to use well-lighted, busy streets at

night. You can also travel anywhere you want by subway and buses. Subway, though rather Inattractive

and not so well organized as in Moscow, runs 24 hours a day. The fare is $ 1.50 for a single journey,

payable with tokens. Free bus and subway system maps are available from hotels, tourist information

centres and subway stations. However one gets around New York, it is important to know some basic

geography: Fifth Avenue divides the city between East and West. Street numbers begin at Fifth

Avenue, so Two W. (west) 57th Street is just a few steps to the west of the Fifth Avenue, while Two E.

(east) 219 57th Street is just to the east. Most streets in Manhattan are one-way. With a few exceptions,

traffic on even-numbered streets travels east and traffic on odd-numbered streets travels west. To New

Yorkers, “downtown” does not connote the city centre. Rather, “downtown” simply means “south” and

“uptown” means “north”.

Thousands of tourists come to New York every day to see the Statue of Liberty, which is situated on

Liberty Island and is a symbol of American democracy. It has a torch of Freedom in her right hand.

New York is famous for its skyscrapers, among which are the Chrysler Building and the Empire State

Building.

The unprecedented terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 disguised the face of New York. Two twin

towers, which used to form the World Trade Centre, were destroyed as the result of the planes crash.

This was the tragic day for the people of the USA and for the whole world. Two towers were in ruins

in the matter of minutes. The life of the big city was paralyzed completely for more than a month. Now

the WTC is under reconstruction

New York, one of the largest cities in the world, was founded three hundred years ago in the mouth of

the Hudson River.

The centre of New York is Manhattan Island. In 1626 it was bought from the Indians for a sum of

twenty-four dollars. Today Manhattan is the centre of business and commercial life of the country.

There are many skyscrapers, banks and offices of American businessmen in Manhattan. Broadway

begins here, the Stock Exchange is located here. Very few people live in Manhattan, although the

majority work here. Numerous bridges link Manhattan Island with the other parts of New York.

New York is inhabited by people of almost all nationalities. It is even called «Modern Babylon». At the

turn of the 20-th century a lot of people came to the USA from different countries of the world. They

entered the USA through New York — the Gateway of America.

New York is one of the leading manufacturing cities in the world. The most important branches of

industry are those, producing paper products, vehicles, glass, chemicals, machinery. The city traffic is

very busy.

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 wide

ly 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, Washing

ton's birthday

, President's Day in

February.

The 14th of February is Valentine's day or as it is called “All lovers day”.

One day the people of the village suddenly saw a tall Indian who was walking along the street. They

were frightened very much, but this Indian came up to them, smiled and said. "Hallo, Yankee! Hallo,

Yankee!"

Few days later this Indian came to the village again together with some other Indians. They came as

friends and helped the white men very much. But white men forgot about this help very quickly, a few

years later when many people from Europe came to America, they began to take the land away from

the Indians and to kill them.

At last spring came. The people of New Plymouth began to plant corn, and the Indians showed them

how to plant maize.

In autumn the crops were very good and the people of New Plymouth wanted to make a holiday

dinner. They asked the Indians to this dinner, and the Indians brought some wild turkeys as a present.

The turkey was an American bird. Very few people in Europe had ever heard about it, but when they

ate it at this dinner they liked it very much. The people of New Plymouth called their holiday

'Thanksgiving Day*. Since that time Thanksgiving Day has been a great holiday in the United States

of America, and since that day Americans have always had turkeys for the Thanksgiving Day.

1.Перекрестное чтение Crisscrossed reading.

It was in 1620, in the time of King James the First. English people did not like their king and they

called him 'The Foolish King of England'. Many of them even left England and went to live in other

countries.

In November, 1620, a small ship, the Mayflower, left England. There were about one hundred people

aboard the ship, but even for this hundred the ship was too small. For seven long weeks the Mayflower

was in the waves and storms of the Atlantic Ocean, and at last the people saw land. It was America.

It was already autumn. It was raining and a cold wind was blowing. Sixteen men left the Mayflower

and went ashore. In the evening they came back to the ship and brought some maize with them. They

found the maize in the sand on the beach where the Indians had left it. Nobody in Europe had seen

maize then, but when the people on board the Mayflower tried it they liked it very much.

Next day was Sunday and everybody on the Mayflower had a rest. On Monday some men went ashore

again and this time they took some women with them. The women had to wash the clothes. Since that

time Monday has been a wash-day in America.

During the next five weeks the men from the Mayflower left the ship every day. Sometimes they did

not come back for many days; they were looking for a good place to live. The weather was very cold,

more and more men fell ill, but at last they found a good place. There was a good harbour for ships

there, some fields and forests near it and even a small river. The people began to build a village there.

By January, 1621, there were already two streets in this village, and they called it 'New Plymouth'.

Read the poem. How does it characterize American people.

II Работа с текстом. И. П. Агабекян стр 275

American society seems to be much more informal than the British and, in some ways, is

characterized by less social distinction. Students do not rise when a teacher enters the room. One

does not always address a person by his title, such as "Major" or "General" or "Doctor" in the

case of a holder of a Doctor of Philosophy degree. The respectful "Sir" is not always used in the

northern and western parts of the country.

However, it is best to use a person's title when first meeting him/her, and then allow the person

to tell you how he/she wishes to be called.

They use first names when calling each other, slap on the back, joke and are much freer in their

speech, which is more slangy than the conventional British English. You will often hear the word

"Hi" (a form of greeting among friends) used instead of the usual "Hello," and "Howdy" instead

of "How do you do?"

Those who don't easily show these signs of friendship are called "snooty" or "snobbish." In

contrast, people who show such simple signs of friendship, particularly to their own economic

and social inferiors, are praised as "regular guys," or as "truly democratic." As a description of

character, democratic is generally used to signify that a person of high social or economic status

acts in such a way that his or her inferiors are not reminded of their inferiority.

Yet, in spite of all the informality, Americans, even in the way they address each other, show

consciousness of social distinction. For example, one is likely to use somewhat more formal

language when talking to superiors. While the informal "Hello" is an acceptable greeting from

employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say "Hello, Mr. Ferguson," while the

employer may reply "Hello, Jim." Southerners make a point of saying "Yes, sir," or "Yes,

Ma'am," or "No, sir," or "No, Ma'am," when talking to an older person or a person in a position

of authority. While this is good form all over the United Stales, "Yes. Mr. Weston" or "No, Mrs.

Baker" is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or West.

Certain other forms of politeness are observed on social occasions. Women may wear hats in

church. in restaurants, and often when attending luncheons in public places and other public

social functions except those that take place in the evening. Men who do wear hats ordinarily

remove them in elevators, churches, restaurants, private homes, business offices — in fad, in

most public situations when they wish to show respect.

I like to read very much. Best of all I like to read detective stories, historical novels and books

about adventures. That's why I prefer books by Fenimore Cooper, Jack London, Agatha Christie

and others. My favourite writer is Mark Twain. He was the founder of the realistic American

novel of the present day. Mark Twain wrote such famous novels as «The Adventures of Tom

Sawyer», «The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn», «The Prince and the Pauper» and many

others. He was also a great short story writer.

Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens. He was born in 1835 in a small village on the

Mississippi River. His father died when Sam was twelve years old, and the 'boy had to work to

support the family. All his life Twain liked to read. He spent all his free time in libraries and read

the works of such famous authors as Shakespeare, Dickens, Servantes, Voltaire and others. Later

he became a pilot of a steamship on the Mississippi. There he learned much about men. His pen-

name — Mark Twain — comes from that period of his life. It means «mark two». Much later he

became a journalist, and then a famous writer known all over the world. There is much humour

in most of Mark Twain's works. But there is also social criticism and satire.

Скрипт.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens better known by his pen name Mark Twain was an American author

and humorist. He was born in 30th November 1835 in Florida, Missouri. When he was four,

Twain's family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a port town on the Mississippi River that inspired

the fictional town of St. Petersburg in ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and ‘The Adventures of

Huckleberry Finn’. When Mark Twain was 11, he left school after the fifth grade to become a

printer's apprentice. When he was 18, he left Hannibal and worked as a printer in New York City,

Philadelphia. During this time he mailed his stories to his brother. His brother Orion published

Sam’s works in his Muscatine Journal. He was also a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River.

September of 1863 he became a writer for the Virginia City, Nevada. He used his pseudonym

‘Mark Twain’ for the first time, which is a steamboat term that means ‘12 feet of water’. Twain’s

earlier life was the back drop in his 1st book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. This book

explores the mischievous and wild deeds of a young boy coming of age. Twain round out his

forties with 2 books that bring him back to his Mississippi years. ‘Life on the Mississippi’ in 1883

and ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ in 1885. ‘Huckleberry Finn’ was the first book published

by his company. Twain died at the age of 74 of a heart attack at his home and buried far from

Hannibal, New York.

Mark Twain really is one of the most incredible and influential writers in the American literature.

His influence is still very much in writing today. Called by many as a father of American literature

Mark Twain was born Samuel Clemens on the 30

th

of November 1835 in Missouri.

When Samuel was 12 his father died of pneumonia. At the age of 15 he got a job working for his

brother’s newspaper in Hannibal Western Union.

Mark Twain became a cub pilot on a steam boat on the Mississippi river. It was probably the best

time in his life.

But in 1861 when the Civil War broke out the steam boat life absolutely came to an end and he

was out of job. During the Civil war he served in the army. After several quarrels with his brother

he eventually made his way to San Francisco where he began his career again as a journalist. His

first real success came in 1865 with the publication of the humorous story ‘The Jumping Frog’. It

had a huge success and was printed and reprinted all over the country.

Mark Twain best known and best-loved books are ‘Tom Sawyer’ published in 1876 and

‘Huckleberry Finn’ published in 1885. All American literature comes from Mark Twain.

He was able to capture an inaccurate speech of different classes. Twain was the first person to put

this kind of vocabulary into American writing.

Twain is an immensely prolific writer. He wrote 29 books, a vast number of stories, lectures, and

essays.

In his last 15 years he was probably the most celebrated American around the world. He received

honorary degrees from Gale and from Oxford.

In 1895-96 he gave lecture tutorials around the world. Mark Twain is the first father of the

American most celebrities because he was so great at capturing public imagination and it became

important to him to hub the public image.

He always booked himself a white suit. He only wanted to be photographed in a white suit. He

tended that image very carefully.

At the age of 74 he died at his Connecticut home on the 23 of April 1910.

He is (was) one of the towering figures in the American Literature because he is funny and smart

and willing and the most powerful and I think it was something deeply in the American character

that response to that.

George Washington, known as the “Father of his country” was the first president of the United

States. He was born on February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, then a British

colony.

In March 1775, Washington was elected to the Second Continental Congress. By the time he

attended the Congress, the opening battles of American Revolution had already been fought in

Massachusetts. In June, G. Washington was elected to be the commander –in- chief of the

colonial army.

In 1787 Washington was elected to head the Virginia delegation at the Constitutional

Convention.

In the country, people linked his name directly to the Constitution. Washington was elected the

president in February1789 with the largest possible number of votes. He was inaugurated in New

York City, at that time the capital of the United States.

George Washington was 65 when he left the presidency, but he did not lose connections with

public affairs. He also made trips to watch construction of the new city of Washington, D.C.,

which was then called the Federal City. At the time of his death, he had the rank of lieutenant

general. In 1976, the U. S. Congress gave him the title of general of the armies of the United

States.
