First Class 2021 – Student Handout

A. Reading. Read the texts and match the corresponding question:

1. Which do you prefer, Christmas Eve/Day, New Year’s Eve or Kings Day?

5. Did you work during the holidays?

a) John, Barcelona                   Question: ____

Well, I usually go to the UK and spend Christmas with my siblings and nieces. They live in a picturesque market town near Bristol and it's always super Christmassy there. However, this year I wasn't able to leave Spain due to the travel restrictions, so I spent Christmas Day with my housemates instead. We tried to do all the things we usually do, and it was fun, but it didn't feel the same. I missed being with family!

b) María, Galicia                       Question: ____

When I was growing up, I always loved Kings Day the most! That was the day when we got most of our presents. The night before we used to go to the big parade in the town, wave to the kings and catch the sweets they would throw to us. Nowadays though, my preferred celebration is New Year's Eve - I love the grapes and cava, being with my friends and talking about what the new year might bring.

c) Jane, London                        Question: ____

As a business owner, it's difficult for me to switch off during the holidays. I run a shop which sells gifts, prints and jewellery, so Christmas is usually a really crazy time of year for us. Despite the restrictions, this year has been equally busy! We’ve been doing a huge amount of online sales as well as offering a click and collect service.I will be working all through Christmas and into the new year. No time off for me, but I shouldn’t complain.
