The first group.
St. Valentine’s Day.
St.Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day in Cupid, the Roman good of Love who is represented by the of a young boy with a bow and arrow.
Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman goods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter signing it "From Your Valentine"

St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care.
You can send candy to someone you think is special.
Most people send "valentines", a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine.
Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.
Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines. Handmade valentines are by cutting hearts out of colored paper. Valentines can be heart-shaped, or have hearts, the symbol of on them.
Your can write a short rhyme inside the heart:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you!

The second group.
The day of deer-breeder.
We live in Yamalo – Nenetsky autonomous region. YNAR is located in the Far North of the Russian Federation and in the north of the continent of Europe. The peculiar thing is the magnificent sight of polar lights and the fact that we live on the Polar Circle.
The native people of YNAR are nentsy, khanty and komi. The peculiar thing is the magnificent sight of polar lights and the fact that we live on the Polar Circle.
Men work in fresh air in tundra and women bring up children and sew clothes from deer’s skin for their family. The most important annual ceremonial period in the Nenets social calendar is the celebration of the Day of Deer-breeder. It provides the local point of the year.
It is a period characterized by preparations for the kaslaniye to the north during summer days close to the Cara Sea. At the beginning of April all deer men from tundra gather together for their traditional meeting. The authorities honor the best deer-breeders.
There are sport competitions: deer races and races on "Burans”, national wrestling, national jumps. On this day you can see plenty of nenets people: women and children in yagushkas and men in malitsas. Their clothes are unusual and picturesque. There is a lot of music and dancing.
I think it is the best holiday for native people, because it’s very colourful and specific.
