Activity 4 Discussing and thinking
1. Discuss the questions and share the answers.
1) What do most festivals seem to have in common Why do you think people around the world find these things important
Suggested answer: Festivals most often revolve around building family and community ties. Festivals are rarely celebrated alone. And even when someone is alone during a festival, the festival reminds them of people who used to be in their lives, but who are no longer present. This is important because people are at heart social creatures who desire to have relationships with others and to be a part of the group.

Suggested answer: I feel sad, because these customs are part of our culture and history. They make our lives more interesting, and they remind us who we are.

Suggested answer: The writer doesn’t directly say. Overall, he seems to think that it is a positive thing, as it helps the economy and makes it easier to buy gifts.
