2. What Naadam Festival customs did you learn about
3. What in your opinion is the most impressive thing about the festival
4. What else would you like to know about the festival and the writer's experience
I experienced the Naadam Festival in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for the first time this year. The festival falls on the fourth day of the six month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days. Naadam means "games" in Mongolian, and it is represented by three events: horse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch!
On the first day, I set off to the games early with my friend Burin. I saw a lot of people wearing fancy Mongolian robes. Some were feeding their horses, some were practising archery, and others were chatting or taking photographs. Burin told me that Mongolians travel every year from near and far to attend the festival, just as their ancestors had done for centuries.
MY AMAZING NAADAM EXPERIENCE
After the opening ceremony and some amazing performances, the wrestling competition began. Mongolian wrestling is different from the wrestling in the Olympic Games. There are no rounds, and wrestlers are not separated by weight. The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground. After singing some songs, the competitors danced onto the green field, waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles. I was quite moved by their show of strength and grace.
I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. However, I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls! I heard it is because children are lighter and the horses can run faster and farther. At first, I was a little worried about the children’s safety, but Burin said, "Don't worry. They’ve been riding horses all their lives. They’ll be just fine. "That was the moment I started to understand why people say "Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”. …
I’m finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and eat hot pot. I can't wait!
1. What does "Naadam" mean Which events does it include
2. What Naadam Festival customs did you learn about
Naadam means “games” in Mongolian, and it includes horse racing, wrestling, and archery.
Wrestling and horse racing.
3. What in your opinion is the most impressive thing about the festival
4. What else would you like to know about the festival and the writer's experience
The horse racing is the most impressive, as it involved little children.
The writer did not talk about food or music, but surely, they should have been interesting parts of the festival.

Sample Writing
July 4, 2018
Today was my first fourth of July celebration, and I'll always remember it because it was so wonderful. The fourth of July is Independence Day in the US—the anniversary of the day the United States became its own country in 1776.
I began the day by packing my swimming suit and a towel. 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 all 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!

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
Read the text again and underline the topic sentence of each paragraph that gives the main idea. And then work out the structure of the text.
Identify the main idea of a paragraph
Identifying the main ideas of paragraphs is necessary when analysing a text. Most paragraphs will have a “topic sentence” that tells you the paragraph's main idea. It is often the first sentence, but sometimes it is found elsewhere in the paragraph.
（Para.1） Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
Topic sentence:
Festivals are celebrated all around the world.
（Para.2）Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime--- the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Topic sentence:
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.
（Para.3） Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes, they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
Topic sentence:
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time.
（Para.4） Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialized, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Topic sentence:
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.
Topic sentence:
Festivals are an important part of society.
（Para.5） Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
Read the text again and fill in the blanks.
figures
joy
fade away
commercial
beliefs
relax
appreciate
In pairs, discuss the following questions.
1. What do most festivals seem to have in common Why do you think people around the world find these things important
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. How do you feel about festival customs that have already faded away
3. What is the writer’s attitude towards the commercialisation of festivals
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.
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.

动词的 ing形式作定语和表语
1．动词的 ing形式作定语
如果是单个的动词-ing形式作定语, 常放在被修饰词前面作前置定语; 如果是动词-ing形式短语作定语, 常放在被修饰词后面作后置定语。
Grammar
(1)作定语表示被修饰词的某种功能或用途的 ing形式是动名词，相当于由for构成的介词短语。
a reading room＝a room for reading 阅览室
running shoes＝shoes for running 跑鞋
a working method ＝a method for working 工作方法
a washing machine＝a machine for washing 洗衣机
(2)现在分词作定语时，它和被修饰词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系，表示所修饰词进行的动作，相当于一个定语从句。
a. 单个现在分词作定语时，多放在所修饰名词前。
Eg.The sleeping boy is Tom.
正在睡觉的男孩是汤姆。
b.现在分词短语作定语时，常放在所修饰名词后，可转换成定语从句。
Eg.The man speaking to the teacher is our monitor's father.
＝The man who is speaking to the teacher is our monitor's father.
正与老师谈话的那个人是我们班长的父亲。
2．动词的 ing形式作表语
Eg. The argument is very convincing.
这个论点很令人信服。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.
你的演讲很有趣而且很鼓舞人。
The outcome of the march was disappointing for the families involved.
游行的结果让参与游行的家庭感到失望。
(1)现在分词作表语，往往具有形容词的性质，说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的现在分词，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有moving, interesting, encouraging, exciting, inspiring, boring, surprising, puzzling, amusing, astonishing ...这类分词有“令人……的”的含义，常修饰物。
(2)动名词作表语多表示抽象性的一般性动作，用来说明主语的内容，与主语常是同一概念。表语和主语常可互换位置。
Eg. Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
＝Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。
The main task for students at school is learning knowledge from teachers.
＝Learning knowledge from teachers is the main task for students at school.
学生在学校的主要任务是向老师学习知识。

Cultural notes
Rio Carnival
狂欢节是巴西最大的节日，但最负盛名的当属里约热内卢的狂欢节。该市狂欢节以其参加桑巴舞大赛演员人数之多，服装之华丽，持续时间之长，场面之壮观堪称世界之最。
巴西里约热内卢狂欢节开幕当天，里约热内卢市市长在市长官邸，亲手将城门的金钥匙交给被称作“莫莫王”的“狂欢节国王”，象征着一年一度的狂欢节正式开始。自此，在长达一周的狂欢节中，整个里约热内卢城都要由“狂欢节国王”“统治”，全体市民将按照自己的方式尽情狂欢。
相传里约热内卢狂欢节始于19世纪中叶。最初，狂欢节的规模不大，仅限于贵族举行的一些室内化妆舞会，人们戴上从巴黎购买的面具，尽情地欢乐。1852年，葡萄牙人阿泽维多指挥的乐队走上了街头。随着节奏明快的乐曲，不管是黑人还是白人，也不管是穷人还是富人，男女老少都跳起来了，整个城市欢腾起来了。阿泽维多的这一行动获得了巨大的成功，成为里约热内卢狂欢节发展史上的一个里程碑，标志着狂欢节成了大众的节日。

Assimilation（同化）
Tips
Letters such as "d", "n", "t", and "s" often take on a different pronunciation from when they are used as initial sounds than when they are used in the middle of a word or to link words in a sentence.
For example:
In a word like education, the "du" will become /d / or /dj /, instead of /d(j) / as in duty.
An ending "t" followed by a word beginning with "y" will often become /t / and be assimilated with the word that follows, as in last year /lɑ st j (r)/.
An ending "d" followed by a word beginning with "y" will often become /d / and be assimilated with the word that follows, as in did you /d d u /.
An ending "n" will often become /m/ if it is followed by a word beginning with "b", as in in bed.
An ending "s" may be pronounced / / with a beginning "s" or "sh", as in those shirts.
An ending "s" followed by a word beginning with "y" will become / / and be assimilated with the word that follows, as in as you / ju /.

Li Ming: Because on the day, we can have a happy and peaceful holiday and eat moon cakes, which make me excited.
Betty: What do you usually do on this day
Li Ming: As for me, I usually go shopping in the supermarkets where a lot of goods are on discount on the day. Then I visit my grandparents with some gifts and have a big dinner together. Next, all the family members make the moon cakes. I do like all of these things but personally speaking, I really love to make moon cakes with family. Finally, we eat moon cakes, admire the moon and chat with each other with a cup of tea.
Betty: Wow, that sounds great. Could you tell me when to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
Li Ming: On the fifteenth day of August in Chinese lunar calendar.
