Iain is from Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. My favourite festival is Hogmanay thats our New Year
celebrations. Every year theres an enormous party in the streets, with modern music and dancing. I go with my
friends. My friends usually dance, but I prefer to watch. People dont wear special costumes, but at twelve
oclock we watch the fireworks theyre always fantastic and we listen to the bagpipes. They always play
traditional music then. I dont usually go to bed until about five or six oclock in the morning, but I get up very
late on New Years Day.
HANK_________________________
Hanks favourite festival is Thanksgiving. Its an American festival. We celebrate it every year on the last
Thursday in November. All my family have dinner at my house. We eat special food (turkey and pumpkin pie are
the traditional foods, but Im a vegetarian so I never eat the turkey!) and relax or play games. We usually watch
American football on TV. Theres an important match every year and, of course, we dont go to school.

My favourite film is
A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).

In the film an inventor created an incredible boy robot, David. David is different from
other robots because he can love. He lived with some human parents because their son
was in hospital in a coma. Soon he didnt want to be a robot any more because he loved
his mother. Then the son recovered from the coma. When the son was home again he was
cruel because he didnt like his robot brother. The family abandoned David, but he
travelled all over America and looked for the Blue Fairy for many years. The Blue Fairy
helped him. In the end he discovered that his mother really loved him. He didnt become
human, but he was happy.
The story and the special effects were fantastic and the main actor, Haley Joel Osment,
was excellent. I really enjoyed this film.
