How to read correctly: May 1st. (May first \May the first \the first of May????)
What answers are possible in formal English? And whether "May first" is correct at all?

May first, or the first of may is fine even if you see it written as May 1st.

It doesn't help that the day-month order is different between English speaking countries. ;) Stick with the order you see. So:
"May 1st" is "May the first", or simply "May first".
"1 May" is "the first of May" (sometimes written as "1st May", but that's a little confusing - the first May of how many Mays?? Better to write "the 1st of May").

Basically both are correct.But if you are reading a date you say ”May first,two thousand ten”
”First of May” may be used like ”It was the first of May when ...”
