a) A. Eid (family is having a meal, lots of food)

B. Christmas (Christmas tree, presents, stocking on mantelpiece, child

looks excited)

C. Halloween (children in costumes, pumpkins)

D. New Year’s Eve (fireworks, dark, night)

E. Easter (child collecting Easter eggs, painted eggs, Easter egg hunt)

F. Hanukkah (lighting the candles, Menorah, Man is wearing a kippa)

The pictures for Christmas and Hanukkah were easy to match. I think the

picture for Eid was difficult to match because people often have a meal

with their family to celebrate lots of different festivals.

b) I know about Thanksgiving. They celebrate this in the US and in Canada. People visit

friends and family and have a big meal with turkey and pumpkin pie. In the US

Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada it’s earlier, it’s the

second Monday in October. It’s much bigger in the US than in Canada. For many it’s a

more important family festival than Christmas.

c) What’s yout favourite festival? – My favourite festival is Halloween.

When is it? – It’s on the thirty-first of October.

How do you celebrate it? – We often wear scary costumes and go trick-

for-treating. We sometimes decorate the house and have a party.

d) My favourite festival is New Year’s Eve. It is on the thirty-first of December. We

usually set off fireworks and go to bed very late.

a) I think it is interesting that the shops are decorated with little red flags and that the

children get good-luck money in red envelopes from their family and friends. The

other thing I find interesting is that it’s the beginning of a new year at the end of

January. The beginning of a new year is usually at the beginning of January.

b) The boys found an envelope with thirty pounds in it. They don’t know what to do

with it because they don’t know who lost it. Rajiv wants to keep it, but Charlie says

they must give it back. I would ask the police officer for help. / I think I would keep.

school. She also likes it because you can relax with your family and friends. She and

her family prepare for Christmas by buying presents, putting decorations up and

putting the Christmas tree up. They also invite friends and family round for dinner.

a) St Patrick’s Day is on 17th March. On ST Patrick’s Day Irish people all over the world

want to show that they are happy to be Irish. There are lots of big parties and street

parades. People dance and sing Irish songs.

b) St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was a bishop. People say he brought

Christianity to Ireland. / He was born in the fourth century and died in the fifth

century. He died on 17th March. St Patrick used the shamrock (= Kleeblatt, siehe Foto

im TB; auch die British-Iles-Map vorne im TB) as a symbol to explain Christianity

(Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit). This explains the importance of

the colour green on St Patrick’s Day.

TB p. 86 No. 8

My favourite festival is Valentine’s Day. We celebrate it on 14th February. People often send

flowers and chocolate to their sweethearts. In some countries people send cards, too. I think

smells of oranges. The meal was delicious, ans good as a top-class restaurant.

George made a chocolate cake. Charlie and Gillian were the waiter and waitress. I t

Für dieses Rezept braucht man eine halbe Gurke, zwei Esslöffel frische Minze, 300 g Joghurt

und he eine Prise Kumin (Kreuzkümmel), schwarzer Pfeffer und Salz.

Man schält die Gurke, schneidet sie in Scheiben und hackt die Minze fein. Dann gibt man den

Joghurt in eine Schüssel und schlägt es mit einer Gabel auf. Danach mischt man die

Gurkenscheiben, die Minze, den Kreuzkümmel, das Pfeffer und das Salz unter den Joghurt.

Danach soll man das Raita zum Kühlen in den Kühlschrank stellen. Es schmeckt herrlich mit

frischem Brot.

a) I like that they put mince pies for Father Christmas in front of the chimney and wear

paper crowns on their heads. Christmas in England sounds like a lot of fun. I don’t like

that they eat the leftovers from their Christmas lunch on Boxing Day. I don’t like that

you have to wait until the 25th December before you can open your present.

c) For many people in Germany, Christmas starts on the 1st December, when they open

the first door on their Advent calendar. I usually have two Advent calendars. My

mum always makes one for me and my sister. Behind every door there is a little

present. The other Advent calendar is from my grandparents. They buy it and send it

by post. It is a chocolate Advent Calendar. Most people in Germany put the Christmas

tree up and decorate it on the 23rd December. They put the tree up in the living

room. It stays there until the 6th January. Many people in Germany have an Advent

wreath with four candles on it. They light one candle on every Sunday in the four

weeks before Christmas. People in Germany open their Christmas presents in the

evening of the 24th December. Some families have a family meal before they open

their presents, and some families have their family meal after the presents. In many

families it is sausages and potato salad on Christmas Eve. On the 25th December

there is a big meal for lunch. It is often goose. On Boxing Day people often visit

relatives.

c) Hindu people celebrate Diwali in late October or early November. They celebrate the

god Rama and the victory of light over darkness and of good or evil. Before Diwali,

people, often the women and girls, clean their houses and decorate them with

flowers, little candles and oil lamps. There is also delicious food and traditional Indian

sweets. People send cards to their friends. At Diwali, people visit their friends and

relatives and exchange sweets and presents. The children wear traditional clothes

and perform Indian songs and dances. There are Diwali parades where young girls in

saris dance, sing and give out sweets. People set off fireworks.

a) Rajiv wants to make a light and sound show for Diwali. His parents are visiting friends

in Camden. Rajiv didn’t tell his parents because he wants it to be a surprise for them

when they come home.

Mr Patel: Rajiv! What happened?

Mrs Patel: Switch the lights on, please.

Rajiv: Umm, well, I can’t. They’re broken.

Mr Patel: Broken? What do you mean?

Rajiv: Well, I tried to set up a sound and light show as a surprise for you, to celebrate

Diwali. I joined the lights to my computer and my stereo. But it did’t work …

Mr Patel: You plugged in too many things, Rajiv!

Rajiv: I didn’t know that could happen. It wanted it to be a surprise for you.

Mrs: Patel: Well, it certainly was!

b) I like the birthday party in Mexico best because the piñata sounds like a great idea. I

also think it sounds fun to eat birthday cake without using your hands.

c) On my birthday I always open my presents in the morning before school. I always do

a fun activity with my family. Sometimes we go to a restaurant, other times we go to

the cinema. I often have a birthday party with all my friends. We have pizza, ice

cream, chocolate cake and lemonade. We play funny games and laugh a lot. I love to

have candles on my birthday cake. I always try to blow them out.

a) Gillian and Karla are talking about a birthday present for Karla’s brother. Karla can’t

think of a present for him. Gillian has an idea: a rainbow cake.

b) Karla needs some cocoa, red food colouring, butter, sugar, flour, baking powder,

three eggs, chocolate and sweets to make the rainbow cake.

Karla’s shopping list:

food colouring

butter

sweets

chocolate

one egg

c) My favourite recipe is for peanut butter cookies. You only need three things: some

sugar, some peanut butter and one egg. You mix the tree things together and then

use a spoon to make balls with the mixture. Then you press a fork onto the top of the

cookies and bake them in the oven for six to eight minutes at 175°C (= one hundred

and seventy-five degrees Celsius).

a) I like the game “On one knee” best because I think it would be very funny to throw a

ball with my chin on the floor. The game sounds difficult but fun to play.

b) I enjoy playing the “Chocolate Game” at parties. You all sit in a circle and take it in

turns to roll the dice. When you roll a six, you have to go into the middle of the circle

and put on a scarf, a hat and some gloves. Then you have to try to eat some

chocolate with a knife and fork. When someone else rolls a six, they become the new

chocolate eater.
