Notting Hill Carnival The Notting Hill Carnival takes place in the Notting Hill area of London on the last weekend in August. It is a huge multicultural arts festival and is the largest street festival in Europe. Groups come from all over the world to take part. There’s music, dancing, street theatre and decorated floats. Up to 1.5 million people come to the festival and there’s something for everyone to see and do.
Glastonbury Festival In June Glastonbury hosts a huge contemporary music event. Glastonbury Festival is the largest ‘greenfield’ festival in the world (past performers have included Coldplay, Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Franz Ferdinand ). As well as having some of the best contemporary pop, rock, folk and jazz music, Glastonbury also supports charities such as Oxfam, Fairtrade , WaterAid and Greenpeace . There are also talks on alternative medicine and displays of environmentally friendly products and techniques.
Eisteddfod Eisteddfod, a celebration of Welsh music and poetry, is the biggest cultural event in Wales and it takes place in the first week of August. There are competitions for all the best singers, choirs and poets. The Gorsedd of the Bards, an association of the best poets, writers, musicians and artists in Wales, selects the winners. The members of the Gorsedd are called druids and they wear long colourful robes. All the events are in Welsh, but there are headphones with English-language translations for anyone who doesn’t understand Welsh!

3 What do you know about Manga? Read the article and find out.
MANGA TIME What is Manga ? Manga is the Japanese word for comics or print cartoons, but outside Japan it usually refers to comics only. The storylines cover every genre: romance, comedy, gothic, horror and historic fiction. Most Manga are in black and white, although there are exceptions, for example, the cover or first few pages might be in colour. The word Manga means ‘random pictures’. Animated cartoons such as Full Metal Alchemist , on the other hand, are known as ‘anime’.
Its origins Manga took its current form shortly after World War II when Japanese artists were increasingly exposed to western art. However, as far back as the 12th century Japanese art often used simple graphics – and artists are still using this technique today. It is a common feature of today’s Manga.
