Read the text quickly and think of a title for it. Do you remember the difference between the words 'holiday' and 'festival'?

The British have eight public holidays. They are called 'bank holidays', probably because banks as well as most shops and offices are closed. These holidays are: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. New Year's Day became a holiday only when the UK joined the European Economic Community in 1973.

The patron saints' days are not celebrated with a holiday. They are St. David's Day in Wales on March 1, St. George's Day in England on April 23, and St. Andrew's Day in Scotland on November 30. Only Ireland, both North and South, has a holiday on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. However, there are many widely celebrated festivals that are not holidays.

Быстро прочитайте текст и подумайте над заголовком. Вы помните разницу между словами "праздник" и "фестиваль"? У британцев восемь праздничных дней. Их называют "праздничными днями", вероятно, потому, что банки, а также большинство магазинов и офисов закрыты. Эти праздники: Новый год, Страстная пятница, Пасхальный понедельник, Первомай, Праздник Весеннего Банка, Рождество и День подарков. Новый год стал праздником, только когда Великобритания присоединилась к Европейскому экономическому сообществу в 1973 году. Дни святых покровителей не празднуются праздником. Это День Святого Давида в Уэльсе 1 марта, День Святого Георгия в Англии 23 апреля и День Святого Андрея в Шотландии 30 ноября. Только в Ирландии, как на севере, так и на юге, есть праздник в День Святого Патрика, 17 марта. Однако есть много знаменитых фестивалей, которые не являются праздниками.
