Jack: Hello there, everyone. It's festival time here in UK and today we're bringing you some pictures and information about late summer festivals around the world. Let's start in the USA. Our reporter Anna Lindstrom is at the Boston Carnival right now. How's it going, Anna?

Anna: Hi, Jack. It's great. It's really hot, late August day. I'm having a good time..., everyone is having a good time.

Jack: What's happening right now?

Anna: Well, I'm standing in the street and I'm watching some fantastic dancers. They've moving slowly towards me. They're wearing really colourful costumes and they're dancing very well.

Jack: Sounds good.

Anna: Yes, and I'm with Whitney, who makes food for all the partygoers here. Whitney, what are you doing?

Whitney: Well, I'm cooking some lovely Caribbean chicken curry.

Anna: Mmm, it smells wonderful.

Jack: Thank you, Anna. Now, Boston isn't the only place having a party at this time of the year. Our reporter Justin Leonard is at the Mariachi festival in Guadalajara, Mexico. Justin, how's it going over there?

Justin: Hi, Jack. It's great here. I'm sitting in the town square and I'm listening to some fantastic mariachi music. In this band, the guitarists are all playing together; it's lovely.

Jack: It sounds noisy there.

Justin: It is! The spectators aren't just listening, they're clapping and shouting and singing with the music.

Jack: Thank you, Justin. And in Helsinki, Finland, Pam Sykes is reporting on the Helsinki Festival.

Pam: Hello, Jack. Well, it's quiet here - it's not like Mexico. This is an arts festival, so it's all in cinemas, theaters and concert halls. Some people are queuing behind me to go into a theater. I have Mika here with me. Mika, what are you queuing for today?

Mika: I'm not queuing for the theater - I'm with my children - they're over there; they're waiting to see some funny films, some old films with Charlie Chaplin.

Pam: That sounds like fun! Thank you, Mika. back to you, Jack.

III. Read the film review, and decide whether the statements are true (T), or

false (F), and tick the correct box.

Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really

like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim

Burton’s version of the film at the cinema.

This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her,

but she runs away and falls down a rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland,

which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters

on her adventures

There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by

Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad

Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one.

Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think

she’s going to become a big star!

Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not

a love story.
