Carnival time in February is the most important time of year for many people who live in Christian Catholic countries. 1. Introduction to Trinidad1It is a time of community celebration that lasts for several days and ends in a great parade of musicians, dancers and the local people.
Other famous Carnival festivals are in New Orleans in the USA, Rio in Brazil, Quebec in Canada and in many Caribbean countries. Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday is the name given to the final day of Carnival as it is the last day of the celebration. 1On this day in some countries it is traditional to eat pancakes with butter and maple syrup or other sweet things. Carnival derives from the Latin “carne vale” or “farewell to the flesh”, a reference to the fact that many people do not eat meat during Lent----the 40-day period before Easter.12. Look at the pictures of the Trinidad a Carnival and discuss.1) What do you see in the first picture? Why do you suppose someone might dress up like this?2) Based on the second picture, what kind of problem do you imagine could happen? Can you give an example?13) What are the people doing in the third picture? What might be a problem from this?4) Where is the island of Trinidad? What do you suppose the weather/climate is like there? What problems do you imagine might happen because of the weather?13. Listen to a conversation among young people who are joining a parade for Carnival in Trinidad. And answer the questions.1. What is wrong with Li Mei’s clothing and shoes?2.

C=Carla LM=Li Mei
C: Li Mei, why are you wearing those shoes? You can’t be serious! Your feet will hurt so much by the end of the parade that you won’t be able to stand. Would you like these comfortable shoes?Part 1:1LM: Thanks, Carla, but I wanted something to go with this dress. Those are the wrong colour.
C: You must be joking! That dress is too thick. Do you realize that it’ll be thirty-five degrees out there and that you’re going to be walking and dancing until midnight? You have to have something
light and cool---and a hat!1The boys are already there when the girls arrive. The music over the loudspeakers makes it difficult to hear each other. One after another, big hands arrive, along with thousands of dancers and musicians. The Carnival is beginning!
C=Carla WP=Wu Ping H=Hari
C: Sorry we’re late! I had to get Li Mei some comfortable shoes!
WP: No problem. We’ve just got here. But I
forgot my water---can I have some of
yours?Part 2:1LM: Me too! We just came, and I’m already tired and thirsty!
C: We’re each going to need a lot of water tonight! Shall I run over to the stand there and get something to drink for everybody?
H: Hurry up, Carla! The bands are moving!1C: OK, I’ll hurry! But remember…we’re going to go slowly at first, so Wu Ping and Li Mei can get used to the music and the heat!
H: Yeah, OK! Remember, you two, if we get separated in the crowd, we’ll meet at the north end of the parking lot by 8 o’clock. Then we can go together to see the winners of this year’s awards for best band and best costumes.15. Imagine you have just visited your friends in Trinidad and seen the Carnival.

The 7th evening of the 7th lunar month is popularly known as “Qixi” and “Qiqiao (pray for deftness) Festival”, recently called “Chinese Valentine”. Qiqiao Festival 1The legend goes that fairy girl Zhinu (the Girl Weaver) married Niulang (the Cowherd) and happily lived together and gave birth to two babies. However, the Lord of Heaven flied into rage at this news and ordered the Lady Queen Mother to send heaven troops to arrest the Girl Weaver. With the help of his old cow, deeply grieved the Cowherd flied onto the sky, running after the Girl Weaver, carrying on his shoulder two baskets holding his two children. When the Cowherd was about to catch up with the Girl Weaver, the Lady Queen Mother took down her golden hairpin and drew a line on the sky. 1Immediately, a turbulent heaven river came into existence before the Cowherd. As a result, the couple were tragically separated from each other by the river, one on the east bank and the other on the west bank. The two immersed in deep sorrow and were weeping face to face incessantly, which moved magpies, countless of them flied above the river and build up a bridge of magpies. Finally, the couple could meet on the bridge. The Lady Queen Mother could do nothing but permitted them to meet once every year on the seventh evening of the 7th lunar month.1February 14th, Valentine’s Day, is a complicated but interesting occasion. First of all, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you are married, or to your boy friend or girl friend if you are not married. In Japan, some girls even gave their fathers chocolates.
Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s Day 1One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like “Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. 1The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day Box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out. 11) hold one’s breath In this context means to wait without much hope. 2) to drown one’s sadnessMeans to drink in order to forget.2. Important expressions 13. With a partner, answer these questions and be prepared to explain your answers to the class. There may be more than one way to answer the questions.1) Why was the TV story what Li Fang needed?The TV story was a sad story about lost love---the same situation as Li Fang. 12) Why do people want the weather to be fine on Qiqiao Festival?People want the weather to be fine so they can meet the one they love. 1Read the story about Li Fang again.
