MULTI LEVEL PRACTICE TEST 8
PART 1
What is your favorite festival?
Hmm, that’s a tough question because I’m definitely a
holiday person (a
person who likes holidays)
, but I would have to say New Years Eve. I’m
always
keen (want) for change and new beginnings, so I love setting new goals
at the start of each new year, not to mention I really enjoy the parties. Second to
this would be Valentine’s Day, since I’m a
hopeless romantic (a very romantic
person).
How do you celebrate the festival?
In my culture, it’s more very family-oriented holiday. We usually have a special
family dinner at home followed by the countdown to midnight. However, in my
culture we add something special to it. At the clock ticks down to midnight, we
eat 12 grapes which signify a different wish for each month. After this, we go out
to the city or town streets to drink with our friends and wish them a happy new
year.
What is the most popular festival in your country?
Definitely Christmas, since I’m from a Catholic country. Nearly every town and
city goes out of the way to
deck (decorate) the streets out with Christmas lights
and decorations. However, unlike other countries, we celebrate the epiphany, or
day of the three wise men, on January 6 just as much at the 25th. This is the day
in which we exchange gifts and watch parades.
