A. In my country, we have many festivals in various places several times a year. One party is called the Devils of Yare. It is famous for its music that uses only drums, red clothing, multicolour masks, and colorful jewellry. This festival is also famous for beautiful costumes and dancing in the street, which is typical of South America. It lasts for four days in February and is celebrated in a small town called Yare. It is popular with tourists who come from all over country and from different countries.

B. "Hanami" means viewing the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossom is our national flower, so these trees are planted in many places; for example, in parks, at hospitals, in the streets and at schools. Traditionally, from the end of March to the beginning of April, when the cherry trees are in full bloom, Japanese people like to go to see the cherry blossoms. On holidays, they go with their family or friends to places which are famous for their cherry blossoms.

C. Bullfighting is very typical in some parts of my home country. It's called The National Festival. It's the way that many cities and villages celebrate their main festivals. The place where a bullfight is celebrated is always a round arena. The bullfighter uses a stick with a red cloth to fight the bull. This is a very difficult art. The Spanish are world-famous for it.

D. We have a special paper called Han-Ji that is made by hand and is dyed with natural materials. It takes a lot of time to make Han-Ji; it has to go through a long process. Han-Ji paper is extremely soft like cotton, but it's tough. In old times Korean people used it for various things; many kinds of Han-Ji crafts, artwork, dolls and house wares are made of this paper. The Dak paper doll craft is a popular national craft.
