Then I went with my host family to a supermarket to load up on food and drinks. After that we were off to a friend’s ranch out in the country for a barbecue and pool party.
It was so amazing! While the adults cooked food on the barbecue, we played in the pool. Then we all ate and ate until we were completely stuffed. Our friends had some old ice cream churners, so after lunch we all took turns churning homemade ice cream. Since the temperature outside was around 40 degrees, it seemed like the ice cream took forever! I would turn the handle on the churn until my arm was sore, and then someone else would take over. But it was all worth it, because when we were finished it was the most fantastic ice cream I have ever eaten! Then, someone asked me if I would like to try horseback riding. I was afraid at first, but they gave me a very gentle horse. It was so peaceful to ride the horse through the fields and forest. Finally, when it grew dark, we had a thrilling fireworks display.
Now I’m back home with my host family. Though I’m tired, I think this had to be the most exciting day of my life! I can’t wait for next year!

1 What do most festivals seem to have in common Why do you think people around the world find these things important 2 How do you feel about festival customs that have already faded away 3 What is the writer’s attitude towards the commercialisation of festivals
1 Festivals most often revolve around building family and community ties. Festivals are rarely celebrated alone. And even when someone is alone during a festival, the festival reminds them of people who used to be in their lives, but who are no longer present. This is important because people are at heart social creatures who desire to have relationships with others and to be a part of the group.2 I feel sad, because these customs are part of our culture and history. They make our lives more interesting, and they remind us who we are.3 The writer doesn’t directly say. Overall, he seems to think that it is a positive thing, as it helps the economy and makes it easier to buy gifts.
