The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that most festival 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 ralatives and friends. That’s also a reason why it is said that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantages 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 fetival, 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.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (1p)
Christmas is almost here. Holiday music fills the air. Colorful lights shine brightly in windows. The stores are crowed with people buying last-minute gifts. All these are Christmas traditions. Another tradition is snow. Christmas in the northern part of the world comes a few days after the star of winter. So, in many places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day. This is what is mean by a “While Christmas”.
Of course, many places do not get snow in December. In fact, they may be very warm at that time of year. People who like snow - but live where it is warm -dream of having a white Christmas. American songwriter Irving Berlin captured these feelings in his song “White Christmas”. ”White Christmas” is one of the most popular songs of all times. Hundreds of singers and musicians have recorded it. Perhaps the most famous version was sung by Bing Crosby. Songwriter Irving Berlin was Jewish. He did not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. But in his Christmas song, he shared a message of peace and happiness which all people a joy.
So from all of us - to all of you-we wish the happiest and most joyful holiday.
