T.: Marks for lesson today.

С днём благодарения связано много традиций. В эти дни проводятся благотворительные акции. Американцы оказывают благотворительную помощь всем, кому не повезло в жизни. Все члены семьи обязательно должны сходить в церковь, а после службы собраться за праздничным столом, где произносят слова благодарности. Пусть у нас нет такого праздника, но я предлагаю поддержать эту замечательную американскую традицию и произнести слова благодарности тем людям, кому мы считаем нужным. Для этого нужно закончить следующие предложения:

Я хочу сказать спасибо…….., за то, что……….

Первой буду я. Я хочу сказать спасибо вам, ребята, за то, что вы меня внимательно слушали и хорошо отвечали на вопросы. Кто желает ещё сказать слова благодарности(дети произносят слова)

T.: Have a nice day! Thank you for the lesson
