V. Introductory of the lexical theme:

                               Wedding Ceremony

  In Kazakh tradition, the wedding lasts 40 days beginning with matchmaking.Either the fiancé sends matchmakers to his bride`s parents, or he abducts his fiancée.In the first case the matchmakers, who are the fiancé`s relatives, bring rich gifts to the bride`s parents and ask their consent to the marriage.This negotiation is called the cudatusu.If the bride,s parents agree, then they fix the date for the wedding day.

   Sometimes it is the bride who has the right to choose to accept the offer.Instead of a direct refusal, the girl would give the man some difficult task.A legend tells about such a case.Abylai Khan fell in love with a beautiful girl from a poor family.But she already has her intended- an ordinary warrior.As do not hurt the Khan`s feelings and bring his anger on her family, the girl asked the Khan to shoot an arrow beyond the mountain near a lake.The girl went to a rock in the middle of the lake to watch the competition.However the Khan tried to shoot the arrow high in the sky, it would not rise beyond the mountain.Since then, the mountain is called Okzhetpeswich means “Not achievable with an arrow” in Kokshetau.The girl decided that if Khan fulfilled her task, she would jump from the rocky island onto the stones.That is why the lake is called Zhumbaktas which means “a riddle – stone”.

Betashar

The beautiful custom of  Betashar  — the ceremony of uncovering bride`s face.A bride, her face covered with a vale, is introduced to her bridegroom`s relatives.The toast-master  of  the  festival, usually an akyn ,  introduces  all  the  guests  to  the  bride (often with a song ).The  girl has  to  bow  to  her  future  relatives, and  they, in their  turn, put  money  on  a  tray  before her  feet as the toast-master`s  reward for his work(and may not).Any of  the  bride`s  relatives  may  express his  wishes to the bride.

 Hobbles cutting

      When a baby begins to walk, he undergoes another  ancient   rite –the hobbles cutting.A hobble of rope round a child`s legs is tied. It looks like a figure –of – eight. The child has to make a few steps and then the hobbles are cut with a knife by the most respected guest, one whose life is a worthy example. By cutting the hobbles he blesses the baby to go through his own life more successfully.

IX. Relaxation: the poem «My Motherland, My Kazakhstan”

My motherland, she’s so beautiful and bright

She gives me home, a shelter and light.

And we are proud of her history,

Full of struggles and victories. We got this country from God as a gift,

Not just to take, but mostly to give.

Our motherland takes care of you and me,

And only here can we stay forever free. We are proud to be her loyal kids,

She brings us up, teaches and leads

She’s our life, she is our best part,

She’s our soul, brain and heart. My motherland, you’re so beautiful and bright,

May we be strong to keep your shining light.
