There are thousands of people here. Luckily, the weather has been wonderful.We stayed up late, but got up early this morning toattend the festival. We saw that some people hadalready placed the ham on top of the greasy pole. I have to go now.CarlosNick,Yesterday was the most exciting day of my life! In the morning, many people tried to climb up the pole to get the ham. At 11 a.m. we saw a jet of water coming from the water cannons and the chaos began. Bags of tomatoes from trucks were thrown to the crowds, and we began throwing tomatoes at one another. We all had to wear goggles to protect our eyes.After one hour, we saw another jet of water and stopped throwing. The whole town square was red with rivers of tomato juice. Finally, we tried tomato Paella, a traditional Spanish rice dish. Together with local people and tourists, we enjoyed the good food and drinks.I‛m still tired, so bye for now. Carlos1.

Work in groups. Look at the newspaper headlines about two unusual festivals around the world. Discuss what you think is unusual about them.- The cheese rolls very fast (about 30 – 70 miles per hour)- It’s very dangerous because the slope is very steep. Participants may get injured.- Many people from around the world take part in this even every year.- Monkeys are treated as humans and served with a lot of fruit. - They are believed to bring good luck to the locals and visitors.5.

Present your festival to your partner. Allow time for them to ask questions at the end.Model report 1: CHEESE ROLLING COMPETITIONIn spring each year on the top of the Cooper's Hill in Gloucester England, people from all over the world gather to take part in the famous seasonal festival called "Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling".The aim of the competition is to see who will be first to catch the cheese. It also brings joy and honor to participants. The hunk of cheese rolls down the steep hill. Participants chase after and try to catch the cheese, normally the winner catches it after he/she crosses the finish-line at the bottom of the hill because the cheese travels very fast. The prize is the cheese of course.The event is very dangerous because participants could fall over and get injured, so consider it carefully before getting in the event.Model report 2: THE MONKEY BUFFET FESTIVALThe Monkey Buffet Festival is a celebration that takes place in Pra Prang Sam Yot Temple, north of Bangkok, Thailand on November 25th every year. The local peoples believe that monkeys bring good fortune to the visitors. It has been held since 1989.Nowadays, the festival became a major tourist event and travelers from all over the world come to participate and see around 2,000 local monkeys are fed with around 2,000 kg of fruit and vegetables by the organisers.The Monkey Buffet Festival is definitely a unique and strange event that will give you a new perspective on how monkeys are treated. It promises a load of fun especially for people who loves animals.+ HOMEWORK - Learn the new words.- Practice reading the passages again- Do exercise C1,2 (page 21); D1,2,3 (page 22-23) in workbook.- Prepare for Unit 9: SKILLS 2Goodbye!See you again!THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
