Pete: So, is the party going well?
Tess: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Pete: Is the party going well? It sounds as if everyone’s having a
great time.
Tess: Yeah, it’s absolutely brilliant.
Pete: Well, a party for a gang of ten-year-olds isn’t my ideas of a
good time. Are you all wearing costumes?
Tess: Yes. I’m wearing my witch costume and Chris is wearing his
Frankenstein costume.
Pete: Oh, he’s not wearing that old thing again!
Tess: Yeah, and he’s terrifying everyone.
Pete: What kind of games are you playing? Are you bobbing for
apples?
Tess: No. We’re playing musical chairs and pin the tail on the
donkey. It’s great fun.
Pete: What about food? What are you eating?
Tess: Well, I made a pumpkin pie and toffee apples and the kids are
really enjoying them so they’re nearly all gone.
Pete: Oh, keep me one, please!
Tess: Ok! Are you doing anything at the moment?
Pete: No, not really.
Tess: Well, why don’t you come over and help yourself to some
roffee apples? The party is nearly over anyway. Then, you can help
me clean up!
Pete: I would do anything fdr a toffee apple! See you in ten minutes.

Listen to the music. What country is it from?
Hello!
Today, I’m going to talk to you about
an important festival in my country,
India. In late autumn, we celebrate
Diwali, the Festival of Lights. Diwali
lasts five days. Before the festival, the
whole family makes some
preparations. We put up colourful
decorations in our homes and
children make special festive lamps.
On that day we visit relatives, we
have festive meals and we exchange
gifts. In the evening, we light our
Diwali lamps and we pray to Lakshmi,
the goddess of wealth. Finally, there
is an exciting fireworks display.
Everybody has a great time.
Thank you for listening.

Many highland games take place all over
Scotland every year. The most famous
meeting is in Braemar, a small village in the
Scottish Highlands. The games are always on
the first Saturday in September.
Many athletes travel to Scotland each
year to take part in the games. They
compete in events like the hammer
throw, shot put and the hill run. There
are also music and dancing
competitions. Marching bands
perform for the crowds. They wear
traditional clothing and play.
The most popular event of the day is the ‘tug of war’. Two teams hold onto a rope and try to
pull the other team over the line. ‘Tossing the caber’ is also popular. The athletes have to run
holding a heavy tree trunk, the caber, upright. Then, they stop and throw it towards the sky.
Tickets always sell out months before the games start. It’s a great day out for all the family.
