Вопрос Have you ever participated in celebrating Kupalle?

No, I have never participated in celebrating Kupalle. But I think if I were celebrating Kupalle I would celebrat ing e  it with my girlfriends. We would make wreaths of wild flowers, such as white flowers, corn flowers, ferns and etc. Because I believe that the flowers gathered on 6 July have special magic and as we are girls we think it is a nice job. Also on this day we would bathe in the river and rolled in the grass due, because it's fun and you can be yourself. But we would not in any way jump over the fire, it is very dangerous and unpractical. And what about you? Have you ever celebrated Kupalle?
Great! I like you post very much! Especially the idea about safety rules and been unpractical (it is because you are a  girl, as you wrote about yourself, girls are so tidy...).

Yes, I know... But you like skiing.  And you like cooking pelmeny (according to the picture in your profile). That's a pity it hasn't become a tradition to boil dumplings stuffed with meat during Kupalle celebration! You would take part in celebrating the holiday for sure.

I have never participated in celebrating Kupalle. But this is only because I did not have the opportunity. After watching the special series "Matchmakers" about the celebration of Kupalle, I really wanted to take part in the celebration of this holiday. I would spend this holiday only with my friends. In my opinion this holiday is (relevant) не изучали for young people. I would like to dance in Karagods, find a blossoming fern flower. And also the most important thing is to jump over the fire. I think that jumping through the fire is full of adventure (adrenaline) не изучали. Therefore, you can test не изучали challenge (изучали) yourself and try this dangerous entertainment. This holiday has a special atmosphere of (complete  не изучали) magic, love and happiness. If I had the opportunity i would celebrate this holiday not thinking without any hesitation.
Ты не все условия задания выполнила. Нет страдательного залога. Зато интересный сюжет. 

No, I have never participated in celebrating Kupalle yet. But my friends invited me to go with them. They said that there we will would (согласование времен, Future-in-the-Past) have fun from July 6 to July 7. Girls will make wreaths and boys will competinge in strength. We will cook vareniki from stuffed with berries and kulaha. On the day of the celebration of Kupalle wreaths are made, flowers are collected, evil spirits are drove driven _{(III форма)} away .
Are you afraid of evil spirits? And need some purification rituals to get rid if them? Ha-ha.... Is's a joke. 
^{Не стоило повторять текст учебника. На уроке за такой рассказ можно было бы поставить такой способной девочке, как ты, 6 баллов. Всего 4 речевых клише....
Мало личного компонента = творческого применения знаний. Нам надо трансформировать материал учебника под себя и про себя писать, про твой опыт, согласие и несогласие с народными традициями (и почему).}

Yes, I have. I participated in celebrating Kupalle and I am really fond of this holiday. Kupalle is celebrated in the night from 6 July to 7 July.  my friends and I collected such plants as corn flowers and ferns. I believe that these plants protect people and their homes from illnesses and evil spirits. Also we weaved wreaths from flowers and were wearing wreaths during the Kupalle celebration.          That night we made a fire, it  symbolized life . But we didn’t jump over the fire, I agree with Liza-Jukova , that it is very dangerous. My friends and I joined hands and danced in karagods. And of course we looked for a blossoming fern flower- ‘Paparats-kvetka’. Since ancient times people believed that if you findfound the flower, you willwould be happy. (Future-in-the-Past) In my opinion Kupalle is the most attractive and interesting holiday in Belarus! I advise you to celebrate  it next summer!
Саша, мне нравится, что ты нашла общее с другими участниками форума, выразила свое мнение.

Yes, I celebrated the pagan holiday Kupalle last summer. I swam in the river there, along with all the danced in karagods with the others, jumped over the fire and of course, at night I was looking for a fern-flower. That day was very different ??? (different from what???) unusual??? full of fun??? and I had a lot of good impressions (возможно, ты хотел сказать  so much fun, или I was impressed by ...).
Sounds intriguing.... Why were you looking for the flower? Were you alone while doing it? afraid of meeting with wild animals? Do you like taking risks? Was it difficult to find the flower?  Was it dark in the forest at night?

Yes, I have. I’ve participated in celebrationng Kupalle when I was inat the camp. (Используем Past Simple, если есть информация "когда")  We celebrated it on the 6^thof July. At first me and my friends and I helped in to preparatione  the place for  the fire. Then we went into meadows to collect plants and herbs. We believed that the plants gathered at that time had special magic and strength and could protect us and our homes from illnesses and evil spirits. I made a wreath  withfrom picked plants. When we returned we danced in karagods with other children. After itthat everybody watched an evening show about Kupalle and tried to find a blossoming fern flower - “Paparats-kvetka”. It was thought lucky if somebody could find it – he would live happily ever after. I Ccouldn’t find it, but I didn’t wasn't upset. ThisThat day was amazing!
Софья, жирным шрифтом я выделила слова, которые относятся к новой лексике данного урока, здорово, что ты их использовала. Не хватает страдательного залога там, где ты его могла действительно применить.

                     I agree with [url=http://xn--80awhdgmd6a.xn--90ais/index.php/forum/profile/715-arseniy200113]arseniy200113 that cooking special food on the fire and collecting plants and herbs is are for girls. I do not like neither competing in strength nor jumping over the fire, too. But I participated in celebrating Kupalle when I was small.
Kirill, thanks lots for your opinion, you have used 5 new phrases and transformed them in your own way.
What did you do when you took part in celebrating Kupalle? Anything unusual?

Yes, I have. I celebrated Kupalle last year. My cousin, her parents and I celebrated it in the night from 6^th July to7^th July. At first my uncle started preparing the place to start the fire. My cousin and I helped him with it. When we were helping him we  were also
collecting different plants and flowers. Then we made two lovely wreaths from them. When he had made the fire, we started cooking different special foods. They were sausages cooked over the flames and marshmallows toasted in the fire. It was the first time I tasted marshmallows cooked on fire. It was so yummy! We didn’t jump over the fire because we thought it was unsafe. Frankly speaking, I think that looking for a blossoming fern flower – ‘’Paparats-kvetka’’ is the most important part of celebration Kupalle. It was though lucky if you could find it: you would live happily ever after. And of course we looked for it, too. But it wasn’t so funny and exciting as it sounds had been said because it was dark and cold enough at night in the forest. My cousin and I didn't want  taking risks, so we were afraid of meeting with wild animals. We didn’t foundfind that magic flower and my cousin was upset, but I told her that she could be happy without it.
Maria, your story is exciting, I'm happy that you have had an experience in celebrating Kupalle. You have also used new phrases in your own sentences. It's good.
