ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY
(Unit 5)
I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC
Task 1. Read the text “Where there’s a Will, there’s a Way”.
Many people in Britain work five days a week, from Monday till Friday.
So, from Friday evening till Monday morning people are usually free. When
Friday comes English people usually know where and how they are going to
spend the weekend. Before they leave work they say to each other, “Have a nice
weekend! Have fun!”
Some people prefer to stay at home and watch TV or video, read books,
play computer games or do crosswords. Others enjoy cooking for their family or
friends. Film fans go to the cinema and see new films. Those who are interested
in arts visit museums, art galleries or concert halls. Theatre-goers never miss a
chance to go to the first night.
Some people who have a special hobby usually devote their weekends to
drawing, taking photographs, growing flowers or kite-flying. Kite-flying is an
old hobby in England. Young men and old men, women and children take their
kites to the parks and throw them up into the sky. The kites are of many colours.
Some of them are square and others have three corners. Some kites are like
boxes, some look like balls or flowers.
Very many people plan to go out of town for the weekend. Some people
go to the seaside and stay at a hotel there. A weekend at the seaside is a
wonderful chance to relax. People bathe in the sea, lie in the sun, go fishing,
boating and windsurfing. They also play beach volleyball and badminton.
In winter English people do not have many possibilities of spending their
weekends in the open air. There is not much snow in winter and people do not
have a chance to enjoy skiing, skating or tobogganing. Children never miss a
chance to make a snowman or play snowballs in winter.
British people say, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”.
