V. Read the article about the Notting Hill Carnival and answer the questions. MY CARNIVAL London's Notting Hill Carnival is the biggest street festival in Europe. There are large festivals in Germany too, but only the carnival in Rio in Brazil is the biggest of all. It's on the last weekend in August and more than fifty bands and discos drive through the streets on trucks playing really loud West Indian music. My granddad is eighty now and he's played in every carnival since it began forty-five years ago. My dad's in a reggae group and he's teaching to play the drums. I want to have my own band one day. Between the bands there are parades of dancers in fantastic costumes. My family all dance with Dad's band. Mum starts planning the costumes a year before and my sister and I help her to make them during the school holidays. This year Mum and I have pink dresses and tights, with a white belt and cap. The boys have pink suits too. My brother says he hates the colour but he still enjoys being in the parade. My older sister's costume is a swimsuit with lots of gold and silver decorations, and silver shoes. Her head-dress is very heavy and almost a metre high - she found dancing in it difficult at first. I love getting ready for the carnival. That's why I never feel sad when it ends because I know we'll soon start to make plans for the next one! (Target KET for Schools Student's Book) 1.
