Burns Night
Each year Scottish people across the world
celebrate a unique dinner known as “Burns Night”. This is ___ (A) called
Robert Burns. Traditionally it happens on his birthday, the 25th January.
Scotland can be very dark and cold at this time
of year, so it’s ___ (B) with friends and family. Burns
is still an important figure in Scotland and even though he died in 1796 at the
age of 37, he was recently voted “The Greatest Scot”. His birthday has become
as important as Scotland’s national day, St Andrew’s Day.
The idea for ___ (C) soon
after his death, and these days is actually quite a complicated affair. To start
people are sat down at the table and the host reads a poem called “The Selkirk
Grace”. It’s normally done in a Scottish dialect which even English people find
difficult to understand. Although Burns probably didn't actually write this, he
is known ___ (D). Next, soup is served. The highlight though
is listening to a bagpiper playing as the main course of haggis arrives.
Haggis is a special dish made from a mixture of
sheep heart, lung and liver and oats, which is a bit like a giant sausage and
surprisingly tasty. So tasty in fact that Robert Burns wrote ___ (E).
After dinner there’s a speaker, who may recite more poetry and a toast is made
to the memory of Robert Burns. Next ___ (F) about ladies
and a female guest replies with a funny speech about men. Throughout the rest
of the night there is even more of Burns’ poetry.
