Let students read the three passages below and guess the names of the three festivals in Activity 1. Then ask them to choose the right answers.
①It takes place on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. It is as important as the Chinese New Year because on that night, the moon is full,symbolising reunion. On this day, people display traditional paper lanterns and solve riddles. As it is a popular festival for Chinese people around the world, it is celebrated in many different countries as well.
②It refers to the time when a person makes the transition from childhood into adulthood. It takes place on the second Monday in January. Everyone who has turned 20 in the last year is formally recognised as an adult. Many young people dress up for the occasion. Young men wear formal suits and ties and young ladies usually wear kimonos. It is also a day when new adults express their gratitude towards their parents.
③It is considered as one of the biggest carnivals in Brazil, where more than two million people take part in the yearly festivities. Usually, the Carnival occurs in late February or early March. During this time, the streets are filled with parades of people wearing colourful costumes and dancing the samba, and with large and colourful floats.

Ask students to listen to the conversations and write the order of the conversations next to the names of the festivals in Activity 1. Then have them match each conversation with the relationship between the speakers.
