Student II:  Love and poetry have always gone together hand in hand through ages. And today we are due to pay a tribute to the greatest poet of Love of all the times and nations. We are speaking about William Shakespeare.  We can’t but mention him today as the whole world  sings  praise to him because this year 2016 is announced by UNESCO to be Shakespeare’s year. Great part of Shakespeare’s works were devoted to love, he glorified true love and friendship. Let’s listen to his sonnet 40 .(A sonnet)

Student I:  And now let’s  listen to the same Shakespeare’s sonnet sung by A. Pugachova.

Student II:  Many quotes from Shakespeare’s  works about love have become sayings.

Let us think of Russian equivalents to the sayings.(Work on the screen)

Student I: Love can speak for itself. You don’t  need words to express love. Now you’ll see it. Waltz is a real dance of Love.(A dance)

Student II:  Let us mention one more outstanding British poet Robert Burns, who was a remarkable lyric poet. In his verse he spoke from  heart to heart, he presented his feelings with simplicity and always was sincere to the core. We invite you to listen to one of his poems sung by Aleksandr Gradsky. (A song)  And now let us listen to the most famous poem about love by Robert Burns “Red Rose”. (A poem)

Student I: Red rose. It is one of the symbols of St Valentine’s Day. But roses of different colours have different meanings. So when you select roses for someone make sure you are sending the right message.Look at  the screen!(A slide)

Student II:  Let us recollect some other symbols of the day. Help us please:

What part of your body is a symbol of St Valentine’s Day? (Heart)

Student I: A man who cared for those in love? (St Valentine)

Student II:  A boy  who shoots arrows? (Cupid)

Student I:  A friendly look? (A smile)

Student II:  A heart-shaped card? (A Valentine)Right you are!

Student I:  Have  you prepared and sent valentines to your friends, parents, teachers? If you haven’t done it yet you have some time to do it. Every February the 14^th, across the whole world candies, flowers, gifts, cards are exchanged  between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine.

Student II:  According to the Greeting Card Association one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest  card-sending holiday of the year. Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased and sent by  women.

Student I:  We  have a guest today. You are welcome Mr Postman.

Postwoman: Ladies and gentlemen! I’m your postman. I want to give my opinion on St. Valentine’s Day. You all think that cards should be sent on this day. Hundreds, thousands, millions of card are sent. Everybody  loves  everybody. Can you imagine the number of cards I have to deliver? Can you imagine how heavy my bag is? Can you imagine the distance I have to cover delivering your cards. I suggest that one shouldn’t love everybody. Each person should love only one person and send only one valentine card.

Besides, some of you are so absent-minded that you forget to write the address or at least the name of the addressee. Will you help me to find out who wrote  these letters and who the addressees are.

(Reads 3 letters)

Host: Look! One more young man is writing his love-letter.

Well done.
