### Итоговый ответ #### Speaking 7a **Three facts about Remembrance Day I would like to tell my family:** 1. **The date and time:** Remembrance Day is celebrated on the 11th of November because World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. 2. **The symbol:** People wear red paper poppies because these were the only flowers that grew on the battlefields of Europe after the war, and their bright red color reminds people of the blood shed by soldiers. 3. **The tradition:** During the memorial service at the Cenotaph in London, people observe a two-minute silence at 11:00 am. It begins with a bugle melody called *The Last Post* and ends with *The Rouse*. --- #### Speaking 7b (Project) **Topic:** Victory Day in Russia **Time:** 1.5–2 minutes > In Russia, the most important day dedicated to remembering war veterans is **Victory Day**, which is celebrated on the **9th of May**. > > **The reason** for this holiday is to commemorate the end of the Great Patriotic War and the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. It is a day to honor the millions of soldiers and civilians who lost their lives defending their homeland, as well as to thank the surviving veterans. > > **What people do:** > * In the morning, large military parades are held across the country, with the main parade taking place in Red Square in Moscow. > * People wear black-and-orange St. George ribbons on their clothes as a symbol of remembrance and respect. > * Families take part in the "Immortal Regiment" march (*Bessmertny Polk*), carrying portraits of their relatives who fought in the war. > * People lay red carnations and wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Eternal Flame, and local war memorials. > * In the evening, there is a nationwide minute of silence, followed by festive concerts with wartime songs and spectacular fireworks displays. --- #### 8 THINK! (Words of Wisdom) > *"War does not determine who is right – only who is left."* — Bertrand Russell **What it means:** This quotation uses a wordplay with the word **"left"** (which means both *«оставшийся в живых»* and the opposite of *«правый/right»*). To me, this quote means that war never solves moral arguments or proves who was truly just and right. Instead, it only results in tragic loss of human life and determines who survived (*who is left alive*). There are no real winners in a war, because both sides suffer terrible losses and destruction. --- ### Пояснения и советы по выполнению 1. **Задание 7a (Обсуждение фактов):** * Ответ составлен на основе прочитанного текста о Великобритании. Достаточно выбрать три яркие детали: историческую дату ($11.11$), символ (красный мак) и ритуал (двухминутное молчание и горн). 2. **Задание 7b (Монологическое высказывание):** * Рассказ выстроен по всем пунктам плана: * **Name:** *Victory Day (9th May)*; * **Reason:** *Victory in the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945), honoring heroes*; * **What people do:** *Military parades, St. George ribbons, laying flowers, Immortal Regiment, fireworks*. * Объём текста рассчитан на спокойную речь в течение $1.5–2$ минут. 3. **Задание 8 (Цитата):** * Философ Бертран Рассел обыгрывает многозначность слова **left** (*right* — правый/справедливый; *left* — оставшийся/выживший). Смысл в том, что победа в войне показывает не моральную правоту, а лишь то, кто физически выжил.
