Actual Test

despise (hate) flying, I dont think I’ll ever get there.
20.5. Would you like to travel to space? 
Perhaps! I’m not sure how it feels to be in a rocket. I think it would be incredible 
to see a completely foreign galaxy (another world). I’m curious if other life 
forms (aliens) exist, so I would definitely go along on this journey to find out for 
myself. I also wonder if the moon is made out of cheese! 
20.6. 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).

20.7. 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. 
20.8. 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.
