GREETINGS CARDS

To know a country we should know its traditions. Sending greetings cards is one of them. Greetings cards are very popular in Britain.

The most common kinds of greetings cards are birthday cards, congratulations cards, sympathy cards,² get-well cards, and cards for special days.

Birthday cards. There are special family birthday cards for mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. There are cards which are special for friends, teachers, and other people. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old the children are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous cartoons.

Congratulations cards. These greetings cards are used for such things as the birth of a baby, a wedding¹ or an anniversary.² You can even buy a congratulations card for a person who gets a new house or a new job!

Sympathy cards. Are sent when someone dies. You should send the card to the person you know best in the family. The sympathy card means “I’m sorry”.

Get-well cards. If a friend is sick, at home or in hospital, you can send a get-well card. A get-well card means “I hope you will feel better soon”.

Special occasion cards. Are sent to family and friends on some of the special days during the year; for example, on Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween. On February 14th some children give valentines to each other in their classes in school. Teenagers and grown-ups sometimes send valentines to their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands or wives.

Решение.

Решение 2.

Прочитайте текст и скажите: а) что вы думаете об описанной в нем традиции; б) есть ли у русских такая традиция.

Ответ:

a) I think it's a very nice and kind tradition. Sending a real card shows that you took the time to think about a person. It feels more personal and special than just sending a message on a phone. I like getting cards because I can put them on my desk.

Перевод:

а) Я думаю, это очень милая и добрая традиция. Отправка настоящей открытки показывает, что ты потратил время, чтобы подумать о человеке. Это кажется более личным и особенным, чем просто сообщение в телефоне. Мне нравится получать открытки, потому что я могу поставить их на свой стол.

b) Yes, Russian people have this tradition. We give cards for birthdays, New Year, and March 8th (International Women's Day). My parents buy cards for their friends, and I sometimes make cards for my mom and dad myself. It's very popular to give a card along with a gift.

Перевод:

b) Да, у русских есть такая традиция. Мы дарим открытки на дни рождения, Новый год и 8 Марта (Международный женский день). Мои родители покупают открытки для своих друзей, а я иногда сам делаю открытки для мамы и папы. Очень популярно дарить открытку вместе с подарком.
