Exercises 2 and 3

Vicky: This is my favourite festival. Children love it. They dress up as monsters or ghosts, then they go to visit their neighbours. Their neighbours have to give them sweets or chocolates. If they don't, the children give them a nasty surprise. This game is called trick or treat. For this festival lots of people have pumpkins outside their houses or in their windows. Jeanette: This is a very special day because it is the first day of the year. On this day, lots of people make promises to themselves, called resolutions. People usually try to give up their bad habits.

Alex: This is a day in November. It isa religious festival, so lots of families go to church. They want to say tha nk you for their food. People often celebrate by meeting up with their brothers or sisters they haven't seen for a long time. They usually have a big family meal. The traditional food to eat is turkey. Adam: This is the.day that Americans celebrate their freedom. It's a day for the whole family to be together, They often go for picnics or have barbecues during the day and see fireworks in the evening. This day makes all American people feel proud to be American.
