Ход праздника
Host 1: Dear Friends! Ladies and gentlemen, children and grown-ups! Welcome to our party!
Host 2: It has been said that we need three things in life: something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love.
Host 1: Our party is dedicated to St. Valentine’s Day, which is always held on the 14th of February and brings us happiness and good luck.
Host 2: St. Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular holidays in Europe and America. It is the day, when boys and girls, sweethearts and lovers, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours, and even the office staff, exchange greetings of affection, undying love, or satirical comment.
Host 1: St. Valentine’s Day, February 14, has been a day customary for choosing sweethearts, and exchanging love-tokens from time immemorial.

Host 2: The method of choosing sweethearts on St. Valentine’s Day varied in different time and places. It could be a serious matter, leading to marriage; or it could be a kind of a game. Countless generations of young people have acknowledged St. Valentine as the friend and patron of lovers.
Host 1: So we also wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Host 2: Today we’ll have some interesting contests; you’ll hear fascinating songs and music, lovely poems, proverbs and quotations about love.
Host 1: Now let’s greet our participants! Let me introduce them:
Host 2: And this is our honourable jury! Applause, please! Well, let’s start our contest for the Best Valentine of 2003.
Host 1: So, ladies, what is “love”?
Participants: We can answer this question with the words of a beautiful song:
“Love is…”
1) Love is … a tender feeling,
Love is … a way of being,
Love is … just showing someone you care.
2) Love is … helping with the dishes,
Love is … feeding your pet fishes,
Love is … just giving from your heart.
3) Love is so very simple.
It’s not a mystery
When you treat those around you
The very same way
You want them to treat you.
4) Love is … your baby sister,
Love is … playing with her,
Love is … holding her when she cries.
5) Love is … sharing your candy,
Love is … being all that you can be,
Love is … lending a helping hand
When someone needs you.
6) Love is … L - O - V - E
Love is … for you and me.
Oh! Love is the greatest thing in the world.

My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
You are so beautiful, my pretty girl,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love you still, my dear,
Till all the seas go dry.
Till all the seas go dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun:
And I will love you still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
And goodbye, my only love,
And goodbye for a short time!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten thousands mile.

Host 2: You know that “Romeo and Juliet” was written by the greatest English writer William Shakespeare. And here is one of his best-known sonnets
“My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun.”
CXXX
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips red;
If snow be white,
Why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires,
Black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath
That from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak,
Yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks,
Treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
(W. Shakespeare)
