Partea I (60 de puncte)

1. Read Sandra’s description of a perfect day and holiday.

Hi Mum and Dad,

I’m sending you a photo of Andy and I celebrating Songkran in Thailand. It’s a New Year celebration, though it’s in
April, and it also celebrates the beginning of the summer season. You can see in the photo that we are very wet!
That’s because it’s a water festival. It lasts three days so we are still here!
Water is important because it is a way of washing away the old year and getting ready for the new one. All the
restaurants, banks and shops close as the towns’ inhabitants prepare for the New Year. They clean their homes,
schools, offices and other public places and decorate their homes with flags and flowers. Many people return to their
home town from other cities to spend time with their families.
People pour water over special statues and monuments because it brings good luck. You can also observe younger
people washing the hands of older family members and friends to show respect.
During Songkran, it’s traditional to get up early and visit Buddhist temples. There are long processions of people taking
food to give as presents to the monks, who also sing traditional songs.
Everybody has fun and throws water, especially the children who love water fights with balloons and water guns. Even
the elephants and firefighters throw water!
As you can see, we are having a fantastic time in Thailand. We are making lots of new friends and taking lots of
photos to show you!
See you at the end of April.
Sandra
