Nem túl bonyolult, akár szóbelire is felhasználhatod. For birthdays friends and family members give usually flowers or little presents just like CD-s or books. People give parties to celebrate their birthday. They invite their friends or go out together. For little kids mothers prepare delicious home-made cakes and put candles on it.
Fenyegető, de közösséget erősítő ünnepek
My favourite family festival is Christmas, when the hole family gets together. On Christmas Eve people decorate a Christmas tree. We put presents under the tree and have fun. We play a lot with our new board games. We also celebrate Mother’s Day. Children buy flowers or prepare little gifts, drawings or paintings for their mothers. The 14th of February is Valentine’s Day. This is the lovers’ day when people send cards to their beloved someone. On the 8th of March we celebrate women. My favourite festival is Christmas, it symbolizes peace and love. I like the flavour of gingerbread. Christmas is important for me as I can spend more time with my parents who are divorced. There is no work, no school, so I can spend more time also with my friends!
Nyaralás megtervezése - elvárások és valóság
Kezdésként: Érdemes a nyaralás alapinformációit megadni. Kikkel mentem, hogyan esett erre a helyre a választás, hogyan utaztunk, milyen volt az út, és hogyan töltöttük. Nem érdemes szűkölködni a szavakkal, minél több részletet árulunk el, annál jobb benyomást teszünk.
I would like to speak about the most memorable holiday of my life. Last year me and my class travelled to Italy and we stayed there for a week. Just for your information, this is a tradition at my school that 12th graders take a trip to Italy. We travelled by bus, we decided to set off at midnight and it took more than 12 hours to get there, and the journey was terrible. We stopped very rarely at gas stations and each stop lasted for at least an hour. However, we had a very good time on the bus, we were watching films, listening to music and sometimes we even sang a few songs just to kill time.
A következőkben érdemes kitérni a nyaralás során átélt élményekre. We crossed Slovenia on the way there, which was breathtaking because we got to see huge mountains and we could eat traditional Slovenian foods at a petrol station. Finally we arrived at around noon at a place called Cavallino, which is a seaside place and it is also very famous for its marketplace. We occupied the accommodation which was in caravans. Four of us stayed in one caravan and we had lots of fun there. On the first day we went down to the beach, and although the weather was cold, we still had a good swim in the sea, and one of my friends took a lot of photos. Next morning we went to a marketplace and I bought a very good quality t-shirt, and in the afternoon we spent our time by the sea again. On day three we went to Venice, which is a fascinating town full of history and beautiful buildings. We argued a lot but finally we decided to take a gondola-ride with my friends and it was amazing. On the remaining days we headed for Padova which is also a great city. We also visited Verona and Sirmione, and took a stunning boat-ride on Lake Garda. The food and the people are just awesome in Italy. Végezetül összegezzük, milyen érzésekkel is töltött el minket az ott töltött idő. We were very sad when the last day came but we were also happy because we knew that this would be a memory for a lifetime. We packed our luggage and set off for home. The journey was even more tiring than the way there, and everybody was really exhausted.
Kultúrák közötti ünnepek és szokások
customs and traditionsMany countries around the world share certain holidays, such as New Year’s Day, Easter and Christmas, but not every country celebrates them in the same ways or even on the same day. We celebrate birthdays, namedays, wedding anniversaries, March 15, Easter, Whitsun, Mother’s Day, August 20, October 23, All Soul’s Day, Christmas and New Year’s Day. In Hungary most people get married on a Saturday afternoon. All couples have to get married in a registry office, and those who are religious have a church wedding, too. In the registry office, the ceremony is led by a registrar, and the couple and their two witnesses sign the register. The bride wears a long white wedding dress with a veil and a train, and the bridegroom an elegant dark suit with a white shirt and a tie. The bride holds a bouquet, and the bridegroom has a buttonniere. After the ceremony there is a reception, which held in a restaurant, and in villages is often held in a big tent. At the reception several kinds of dishes are served and the new couple cuts the wedding cake. At midnight the couple change their clothes and the so-called bride’s dance starts. All the guests dance with the bride and give some money to the couple to contribute to their new life together.
Namedays aren’t celebrated, for example, in English-speaking countries. In Hungary namedays are almost as important as birthdays and are celebrated in all families.

At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a holiday full of traditions. The most important day is Christmas Eve, December 24, when the family comes together for the Christmas dinner. The traditional dishes are fish soup, stuffed cabbage and poppy seed and nut rolls. The Christmas tree is decorated before the dinner with sweets, brightly coloured lights and glass ornaments, and Christmas presents are placed under it. At midnight lots of families go to church for the midnight service. On Christmas Day and Boxing Day relatives visit each other and have lunch together.
In England Christmas Eve is the time for the annual office party and many English people go to a midnight mass, while others go to church on the morning of Christmas Day. In Hungary on New Year’s Eve people usually go to parties where they eat and drink and enjoy themselves. At midnight they drink champagne and sing the national anthem. Then people go to the streets and watch the fireworks. In England people go to parties or dances on New Year’s Eve. At midnight they drink a toast to the New Year and link arms to sing Auld Lang Syne. In London thousands of people gather to celebrate at Trafalgar Square. At Easter we celebrate the Resurrection, that is, the rising of Jesus Christ from the tomb three days after his crucifixion. On Easter Sunday morning we eat ham, hard-boiled eggs and cold pork in aspic. On Easter Monday boys visit their relatives and friends and sprinkle women and girls with perfume or water. They get chocolate or painted eggs, and chocolate bunnies.

The Hungarian and English sections describe a range of holidays, travel planning, and family traditions. The integration of personal memories with general guidance shows how holidays can form lasting impressions and how planning influences the pleasure of a trip. Whichever approach you choose, the emphasis remains on enjoying time with loved ones and embracing cultural experiences.
