B. READING

Shortcomings of Festivals

Although there are many interesting things people can get from the festivals, there are also some
disadvantage.
The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that most festivals
aim to preserve and develop the traditional cultural heritages, the government is willing to spend a lot of
money on this occasion. Besides, during the festival, most people do not work and only spend money on
preparing food and buying expensive gifts for their relatives and friends. That's also a reason why it is said
that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantage is unsafe during a festival. It is estimated that there are hundred accidents
during a festival, particularly road accidents. There are many dangerous festivals like cow-racing, elephant
racing which may be very dangerous for people, especially for children. Moreover, in some festivals, when
rushing to join the events, people may also cause other people to get hurt.
The last disadvantage is festivals may affect the environment seriously. People tend to throw away waste
cans or bottles after a festival. Furthermore, trees along the roadsides may be damaged by the participants.
Noise pollution is result from the noise of the performances and the noise from the crowds.
