December 29

Hello everyone! Here I am on a weekend trip to Prague – in the middle of winter. People are wearing their best winter clothes. Lots of heavy jackets and coats for the men, and long skirts and boots for the women – because it's not easy to walk in the snow in normal shoes! People in the park are doing exercises in tracksuits and trainers, but with a sweatshirt on top!

February 7

Today's report is from a fancy dress party to celebrate Carnival here in the south of France. I notice that nobody's wearing hats, maybe because it's quite warm. And I can't see many coats either. Lots of colourful tops and comfortable, informal trousers like leggings and joggers – a few men are even wearing shorts! Everyone's having a great time, dancing in the streets. And if you don't wear a hat, it can't fall off when you're dancing!

July 12

Hello again – now I'm in Berlin in July. Everybody seems to have a message on their T-shirts, and in all kinds of different languages! Young people are wearing shorts, skirts, jeans and trainers – really casual clothes. But it's easy to see the business people in their suits and ties and shiny shoes! They look so serious! Orange seems like a popular colour this summer, especially with the women. Men seem to prefer greens and blues.

Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

1. Normal shoes are common in Prague in winter. ___

2. People are jogging in the streets at Carnival. ___

Belgium is a very old country, with a fascinating mixture of old customs and modern laws. Belgium weddings may be performed as a civil ceremony or as a religious ceremony.

Traditionally, when a couple in Belgium wishes to announce their marriage, the wedding invitations are printed on two sheets of paper, one from the bride's family and one sheet from the groom's family. These wedding invitations symbolize the union of the two families and the partnership of the new union.

An ancient Belgium custom that is designed to unite the two families calls for the bride to stop as she walks up the isle and to hand her mother a single flower. The two then embrace. Then, during the recessional, the bride and groom walk to the groom's mother and the new bride hands her new mother-in-law a single flower and the two of them embrace, symbolizing the bride's acceptance of her new mother.

One of the most important and enduring traditions of the Belgium wedding is for the bride to carry a specially embroidered handkerchief that has her name embroidered on it. After the wedding this handkerchief is framed and hung on the wall in a place of honor. When the next female member of the bride's family is to be wed, the handkerchief is removed from its frame, the new bride's name is embroidered onto it, and it is passed down. The wedding handkerchief is passed from generation to generation, and is considered an important family heirloom.

During the wedding mass, the bride and the groom are enthroned in two large chairs placed near the altar, symbolizing that on this day and in this place they are the king and the queen. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the groom slips the wedding ring onto the third finger of his bride's left hand. The ring, being an endless circle, symbolizes never-ending love, and the third finger of the left hand is believed to hold the vein that travels to the heart, symbolizing love. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the bride and groom share their first kiss as husband and wife. The kiss is considered a symbolic act of sharing each other's spirit as the couple each breathes in a portion of their new mate's soul.

The bridesmaids traditionally take up a collection of coins and as the bride and groom exit the church, the bridesmaids toss the coins to the poor outside the church. Giving gifts of money to the poor helps to insure prosperity for the new bride and groom.

Following the wedding the bride and groom are off on their honeymoon. In ancient times the honeymoon, which was celebrated by the drinking of mead, or honey wine, would last 28 days, one complete cycle of the moon. This was to make sure that the bride's family did not try to steal their daughter back from her new husband. 

According to paragraph 5, what is CORRECT about the wedding ring? 

A. It is wom onto the third finger of the bride's right hand

B. The groom wears the ring for his mate at the beginning of the ceremony. 

C. The ring represents the boundless love of the couple. 

D. The ring is presented by the queen and the king of their country.
