2 Read the text quickly and think of a title for it. Do you remember the difference between the words ‘holiday’ and ‘festival’?

The British have eight public holidays. They are called ‘bank holidays’, probably because banks as well as most shops and offices are closed. These holidays are: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. New Year’s Day became a holiday only when the UK joined the European Economic Community in 1973.

The patron saints’ days are not celebrated with a holiday. They are St David’s Day in Wales on March 1, St George’s Day in England on April 23, and St Andrew’s Day in Scotland on November 30. Only Ireland, both North and South, has a holiday on St Patrick’s Day, March 17. However, there are many widely celebrated festivals that are not holidays.

Happy Mothers Day

Merry Christmas!

Happy Easter!

2. Быстро прочитайте текст и придумайте для него заголовок. Вы помните разницу между словами 'holiday' и 'festival'?

Ответ:

A good title for the text would be "Holidays and Festivals in Britain". (Хорошим названием для текста будет "Праздники и фестивали в Британии".)

Yes, I remember the difference. A 'holiday' is a day off from work or school, when most places are closed. A 'festival' is a time of celebration, but it might not be an official day off. (Да, я помню разницу. 'Holiday' (выходной/праздник) - это выходной день от работы или учебы, когда большинство заведений закрыто. 'Festival' (фестиваль/празднество) - это время празднования, но это не всегда официальный выходной день.)
