Group Discussion
1. What do most festivals seem to have in common
2. How do you feel about festival customs that have faded away
3. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the commercialisation of festivals
They seem to have the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace in common.
I feel sad, because these customs are part of our culture and history. They make our lives more interesting, and they remind us who we are.
The writer doesn’t directly say. Overall, he seems to think that it is a positive thing, as it helps the economy and makes it easier to buy gifts.
