Factfiles 2: Seasons And Celebrations+cd 2nd Ed.

Description: In English-speaking countries around the world people celebrate Easter, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and other special days. Some celebrations are new, like Remembrance Day and Mother's Day; others, like the summer solstice, go back thousands of years. What happens on these special days? What do people eat, where do they go, what do they do? Why is there a special day for eating pancakes? Who is the 'guy' that children take onto the streets in November?

"Factfiles" are a sub-series of "Bookworms" with a non-fiction angle, providing factual information for students on a wide variety of themes. Exercises at the back of each book check student's understanding of the text and provide ideas for activities and project work.
