Seasons and festivals
A Read the video script from a travel vlogger about the Midsummer Festival in Sweden. Write a T if a sentence is true, an F if it is false or an NM if it is not mentioned.
Hi travel lovers! It's me, Claire. I'm here in Sweden for the Midsummer Festival. This wonderful festival is a big celebration of summer and light. It's one of the most popular festivals in Sweden.
Every year, people celebrate Midsummer on a Friday between 19 and 25 June. In the northern part of the world, this is a holiday to mark the longest day of the year. Since Sweden is a country in northern Europe, the days are very, very long. It seems like the sun never sets!
With so much daylight, most of the festival's celebrations take place outside. Tonight, I'm enjoying a delicious picnic with traditional Swedish dishes. We've got new potatoes, fresh fish and these amazing wild strawberries. Honestly, they're all so tasty!
Women and children often make flower crowns and wear them during the Midsummer Festival. A local woman helped me make a crown for myself. Isn't it beautiful? Look over here! That's called a maypole. It's a tall pole covered with leaves and flowers. All day long, people sing and dance around it.
After dinner, we'll play games together and keep listening to music. One more exciting tradition? Taking an evening swim. I can't wait for that!
This festival is a celebration of summer. I'm so glad I got to visit Sweden during the Midsummer Festival. I hope you get the chance sometime too!
1 This is Claire's first time in Sweden.
2 There are many outdoor activities during the Midsummer Festival.
3 Claire made her flower crown all by herself.
4 A popular festival activity is to sing and dance around a pole.
5 Claire does not want to go swimming in the evening.

季节与节日
A 阅读一位旅行博主关于瑞典仲夏节的视频脚本。如果句子正确写T，错误写F，未提及写NM。
嗨，旅行爱好者们！是我，克莱尔。我在瑞典参加仲夏节。这个美妙的节日是对夏季和光明的盛大庆祝。它是瑞典最受欢迎的节日之一。
每年，人们在6月19日至25日之间的一个周五庆祝仲夏节。在世界的北部地区，这是一个纪念一年中最长白昼的节日。由于瑞典是北欧的一个国家，白天非常非常长。看起来太阳永远不会落山！
有这么多的日照时间，这个节日的大部分庆祝活动都在户外举行。今晚，我正在享用一顿有着传统瑞典菜肴的美味野餐。我们有新土豆、新鲜的鱼和这些美味的野草莓。说实话，它们都太好吃了！
妇女和儿童经常制作花冠，并在仲夏节期间佩戴。一位当地妇女帮我为自己做了一个花冠。它是不是很漂亮？看这里！那叫做五月柱。它是一根高高的柱子，上面覆盖着树叶和花朵。一整天，人们都围着它唱歌跳舞。
晚饭后，我们将一起玩游戏，继续听音乐。还有一个更令人兴奋的传统？傍晚游泳。我都等不及了！
这个节日是对夏季的庆祝。我很高兴能在仲夏节期间访问瑞典。我希望你有一天也能有这个机会！
