Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Pupil: In February the British have a wonderful holiday for all lovers - St. Valentine’s Day.
Pupil 1: Nobody knows much about St. Valentine. People call him the saint of love. On this day children write their names on cards with hearts on them and give them to their classmates. Schoolchildren and older people give cards, presents and flowers to their boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives. Some people do not put their names at the end of their cards because they want their name to be a secret.
Pupil 2:
I’ll be your sweetheart
If you will be mine,
All of my life

The violets are blue,
The honey’s sweet
And so are you.
