Текст того, о чем в этом видео говорит Наташа.

Hello, it’s me again. Today or very soon is Valentines day and on that day in Britain we celebrate it. Normally it is commercially on TV and in the shops.

We normally get cards to our lovers, and chocolates and some red roses. But not all the time. Sometimes we just show our love to each other, sometimes we just spent that day with them.

As I am only at girls school we don’t have any boys we can celebrate it with. So it just us, so we only do some quizzes from the library and some little decoration around the school.

Man of the family is normally obliged to get a card and may be some chocolates and some red roses. And this is the time when we will be together. Valentine’s is a day when some people would get proposed to, normally for older people.

At school we were given quizzes and questions to find out answers to and I thought I might like to share some of them with you. Could you please help me?

- Which organ in the body is associated with love?
- Who was the Roman goddess of love?
- Whose love affair started the Trojan Wars?
- Which flower is traditionally devoted to love?
- Which Prince promised to marry the girl whose foot fitted the glass slipper he sent around the Kingdom?
- What is often called “the food of love”?

Now Natasha will read questions again.

We fit together.
