Task V. READ THE TEXT
HANAMI: A Flowering
Celebration!
The beginning of
spring (March-April) is a very special time in Japan, because this is when
Japan’s famous cherry trees come into flower. The Japanese celebrate this happy
time with festivals and flower-viewing parties.
At the end of winter,
everyone’s excitement starts to grow. The whole country wants to know the exact
day when the cherry flowers (“sakura”) will appear. Starting in February,
weathermen try to guess when this day will be.
When the first
flowers open on the trees, national joy breaks out. There are rides and games
for children in the streets, music and dance performances, tea ceremonies,
flower displays, and much more. But the most special thing that people do at
this time is have “hanami” parties. Hanami means flower watching. In hanami
parties, families and friends take a picnic and go and sit under a cherry tree
to look and admire the flowers. Hanami parties take place during the daytime
and also at night, because when it is dark, lights light up the cherry trees.
Mark the sentences
T(true), F(false) or NS(not stated).
1.The Japanese don’t
like the hanami.
2.The sakura berries
are very delicious.
3. The families sit
under a cherry tree and admire the flowers.
