V: All over the world, festivals bring people together. But why do people go?For the music? The food? The fun and games? We went to Bestival in the Isle f Wight, England to find out. But the first question is – where do we sleep?
M1: I…I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key.. V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.
M2: it’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday.
V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents,. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: why do so many different people come to festivals?
W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.
W2: people will respect each other and have… um… sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.
M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.
V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals?
W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything.
V: so, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here? One thing that everyone talks about is this: being together. 2

1. bestival seems a fun festival. People, young and old, can gather together, enjoy themselves,
and forget about their worries. I would like to go to a festival like Bestival because I like to be
outdoors, listen to music, and do activities with other people. Most important of all, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends, so a festival like Bestival is the right event to attend. / I do not like to go to a festival like Bestival because I’m a person who prefers to stay alone. I do love music, but I like listening to music alone.
2. I like our University Music Festival best. It is a one-week festival held annually. It’s the
celebration of spring and one week unmatched by any other. There are singing competitions and concerts almost every evening. Students can also attend lectures on music and its production by famous professors. The most exciting thing is that at the weekend, famous bands will be invited to perform on campus. Every year, we can see different pop stars we like. That’s why the University Music Festival is appreciated by all of us and has become a festival that we all look forward to.

A: Next Friday is my birthday. I plan to invite my friends to dinner. Do you have a nice place to recommend?
B: How about the Sichuan restaurant beside the university gate? The food is delicious there!
A: I know the food is good there, but it’s a bit too crowded and their private rooms are not large enough because I’m inviting more than then people.
B: In that case, why not try the Sunset Restaurant? They have a large private room specially designed for activities like a birthday party. You can eat and sing karaoke there. They may even prepare a birthday cake for you. A: That sounds perfect. Thanks. B: MY pleasure. 2
A: I’m thinking of doing a part-time job to cover some of my tuition fees. What do you think I should do?

Recently I went to a concert in the park with my boyfriend and some other friends. It was in City Park… We went because we all like the band, Double-X, and we listen to their music all the time. The concert only lasted two hours, but we took a picnic with us and went out early in the afternoon-it was a free concert, you see, so there were already a lot of people sitting out in the park in front of the stage.
We got a really good place, close to the stage. We chatted and lay in the sun all afternoon… and then in the evening more and more people came and it got quite crowded. Then the concert started and well, it was … fantastic! Double –X is an amazing band … and better live!
I really liked the concert because everyone was dancing and singing – we had a great time. 1

Last Saturday, my friend and I went to see a movie in Yonghua Cinema City. I went there because it’s one of the best movie theaters in the city. I like the atmosphere and the wonderful sound effects in the cinema. The movie we saw was 13 Going on 30.It was a romantic comedy. The story was simple but touching and thought-provoking. A 13-year-old girl plays a game on her 13th birthday and wakes up the next day as a 30 –year-old woman. Her sudden leap into the 30 –year-old life lets her find out what true friendship and true love are. So when she goes back to 13, she learns how to value those who truly care about her. As a result, she manages to lead a fruitful life when she really turns 30. We really enjoyed the movie. I believe many people would like it, too.
