Finland has been, for many years, one of the best countries in education.

[ Seleccionar ] by teachers, not computers. The
questions students [ Seleccionar ] are about life,
happiness, ethics, political issues, evolution, environment, etc.

Regarding the teaching profession, through years, Finnish authorities
have understood the importance to appreciate and value teachers. In fact,

Reading
Read the following text about celebrations around the world.
Each country has its particular way to commemorate their traditions and
customs. Some of these celebrations could sound weird, but once you
have read about them, you might want to take part of them.
Holi, India
You may well have participated in a replica of this amazing Indian festival
of color, but until you’ve attended a Holi festival in India, you won’t have
done anything like the real thing. At a real Holi, there are some quite
potent drinks available, which we won’t mention here, but which make
sure everyone is really in the right mood for the fun which lasts one night
and all through the following day. Get happy, get soaked with water then
get plastered with multi-colored Holi powder. Everyone is fair game as a
target so make sure you’ve got lots of powder for ammunition before you
hit the streets.
This festival takes place at the very beginning of March. Dates vary
slightly every year depending on the Hindu calendar.
Burning Man Festival, Black Rock Desert, Nevada, U.S.A

You can enjoy this celebration at end of August to the beginning of
September. If you loved the film Mad Max when it was on the cinema
screen, don’t miss the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert of
Nevada in the States. When you’re there, you’ll feel as if you’ve walked
onto the film set. The Burning Man Festival is held in a specially
constructed, temporary city (yes, you read the word city right) in the heart
of the Black Rock Desert. The event lasts for a full nine days and could
probably be classed as the biggest open-air art exhibition in the world and
the only one which culminates in the burning of enormous effigies.
Loy Krathong & Yee Peng Lantern Festivals, Chiang Mai, Thailand
If you want to celebrate in a style which really sets the night on fire then
you need to be at the Loy Krathong and the Yee Peng Lantern Festivals in
Chiang Mai, Thailand. Why both? They’re both so uniquely different you
won’t want to miss either.
During Loy Krathong, which is celebrated all over Thailand in November,
the rivers and lakes flicker to life when innumerable tiny craft bearing
lighted candles are set free to float upon the waters. It’s a truly amazing
sight only rivaled by the Yee Peng Lantern Festival, which is part of Loy
Krathong when hundreds of thousands of illuminated lanterns are
liberated and soar simultaneously into the night sky. No, it’s not a mad
booze-up, but it is an impressive show you should see at least once in
your life.
Specific dates change depending on when the full moon of the 12th
month in the Thai calendar falls.
St Patrick’s Day, Dublin, Ireland & New York, USA

Your friends will turn green with envy when you tell them you’re going to a
St Patrick’s Day celebration. Whether you’re in Dublin or New York on the
17th of March, you’ll be guaranteed an amazing time. It’s a bit of a mad
bash considering the festivity is in honor of Ireland’s patron saint and if
you think you’ve seen a leprechaun in the parade, well, you probably
won’t be hallucinating. You might think that “going green” means you’re a
budding environmentalist, but not on St Patrick’s Day. You’ll need to be
dressed from head to toe in the color and have your face painted too
otherwise you’ll stand out like a sore thumb. Don’t forget to learn the Irish
word for cheers, sláinte. This is a boozy party so you could well be saying
it quite a lot.
Now that you know more about these wild celebrations, don’t wait too long
to grab your passport and go with flow!
