1
Easter is a Christian festival that is celebrated all over the world.
2
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus when he came back to life.
3
In the United Kingdom, Easter has been celebrated for hundreds of years.
4
There are many Easter celebrations and customs,
5
so today we are going to see how it is celebrated in the United Kingdom.
6
In the UK, there is a four -day bank holiday weekend to celebrate Easter.
7
The first day of the holiday is Good Friday and the last day is Easter Monday.
8
People usually don't have to work so they can spend time with their friends and family or even go on holiday.
9
The Easter celebrations start the week before,
10
on Palm Sunday, which is a week before Easter Sunday.
11
There are special services at churches on Palm Sunday.
12
If you go to a church on Palm Sunday, they will give you a palm leaf,
13
which people normally keep for a whole year, to the Palm Sunday of the following year.
14
Good Friday is another important day.
15
It is the day when Jesus died on the cross, when he was crucified.
16
On this day, people remember the suffering of Jesus.
17
There are some people who do not eat alcohol or meat.
18
Deciding not to eat is called fasting in English.
19
Another Easter celebration in the UK is the Easter egg,
20
which is a symbol of new life and rebirth.
21
It is typical to give them as a gift during Easter.
22
You can give them to your friends or your family,
23
and especially to children, who love this season because of the delicious chocolate eggs and bunnies.
24
Some people also decorate and paint on boiled eggs during Easter,
25
and make them beautiful to give them as gifts.
26
Another important Easter tradition is the Easter Bunny.
27
It comes from a German custom called the Oosterhäuser.
28
It was a hare, which is very similar to a rabbit, that laid eggs.
29
Like Easter eggs, the Easter bunny is a symbol of rebirth,
30
as Jesus was reborn.
31
Also, it is a symbol of fertility.
32
The Easter bunny leaves chocolate eggs for children to find.
33
A lot of communities, like clubs, families or schools, have an easter egg hunt.
34
In these egg hunts, children have to search for their eggs in a garden,
35
a playground or or a park.
36
Finally, Easter Sunday is the most important day of the Easter celebrations.
37
It is the day when Jesus Christ resurrected, meaning that he came back to life.
38
A lot of people go to church services on Easter Sunday?
39
On Easter Sunday, families and friends have a meal together.
40
The typical dish for Easter Sunday is roast lamb.
41
Another typical food that people eat are hot cross buns,
42
which are sweet buns that have a cross on the top.
43
Now, let's go with the questions.
44
Write your answers in the comment box and I will correct your answers.
45
The first one is, do you celebrate Easter in your country?
46
And how do you celebrate it?
47
For example, this is how Easter is celebrated in my country but in reality a lot of people don't really celebrate it.
48
They go on holiday or they eat easter eggs but they don't usually go to church,
49
especially the younger generation.
50
The second question is, have you ever eaten an easter egg or an easter bunny?
51
If you come to the UK during the Easter holidays or a few months before,
52
you will see that that the supermarkets are full of easter eggs
53
and easter bunnies and normally there are easter eggs of each different type of chocolate.
54
So for example, if you like Twix or you like Mars, then there is an easter egg for you.
55
So, depending on your favourite type of chocolate, you can buy one easter egg or another.
56
And normally they cost around £6 or £7 depending depending on how big they are and if they are a brand.
57
Then the third question is, what religious celebrations do you celebrate in your country?
58
So tell me, are there any religious celebrations that you celebrate that are similar to Easter? or if you celebrate Easter,
59
are there any different celebrations that you do in your country?
60
Because I know that there are different ways to celebrate it all around the world.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
