  After completing your tasks successfully you should have learnt:
  To use the Internet as a useful tool to search information on festivities
  To organise group work and share information to reach an agreement
  To consider how important visual presentation is.
  
  By now, you should already know something more about festivities and you have probably realised about the similarities and differences between our culture and British culture.
  
  
  
  A language is a reflection of the culture where the language is spoken. So if you want to learn English you have to learn about its Culture. There many other things you can learn: legends, songs, history ….. Now it’s up to you.
