14、ntrys life. They give everyone a break from routine and they form part of the annual life in that country. Sometimes they celebrate a day in a countrys history, commemorate a special person , mark the passing of time or celebrate a religious festival. Many national festivals have been celebrated for

15、 years, but occasionally new ones come along and old ones gradually disappear. This is unlikely to happen to Burns Night or St. Patricks Day, however. The two festivals are celebrated far beyond their native land. The first of these, Burns Night on 25 January, marks the birthday of the Scottish poet

16、 Robert Burns(17591796). It is celebrated by his countrymen and admirers, not only in Scotland but all over the world, from New York to Sydney, from Toronto to Tokyo. On Burns Night the guests eat haggis. Haggis is chopped mutton and other ingredients encased in sheeps gut, which is boiled before be

17、ing served. The haggis is brought into the room to the sound of the bagpipes and the chief guest “addresses“ it reciting Burns poem “Ode to the Haggis“. After eating, the other guests recite more of Burns poems, sing Scottish tunes and drink a lot of whisky. Another widely celebrated festival is St.

18、 Patricks Day(17 March), which celebrates the life of the 5th-century saint, St. Patrick. St. Patrick was Bishop of Ireland, and it is said that he gave Ireland its national symbol when he illustrated his religious teaching with the shamrocka three-leafed clover. But the festival is now more than an

19、ything a celebration of “Irishness“ , whether it takes place in Dublin, Auckland, Melbourne, Montreal or Boston. On St. Patricks Day there are big parades, and people wear shamrocks.

21、rom the unwelcome eyes of strangers. However, what people wear can also convey a message about who they are and their role in society. For example, visit nearly any country in the world and you will notice that young people everywhere are wearing fashionable blue jeans. They wear them not for work,

22、but for social occasions such as parties and concerts. The jeans are somewhat of an index of how these young people view themselves : Im modern and stylish. Im different from the traditional older generation. 1They can convey allegiance to schools and sports teams, advertise places or products, serv

23、e as wearable travel souvenirs, and commemorate important occasions. These messages clearly tell others, This is what I want you to know about me. 2It says that the person wants to impress others with his or her professional status. A fitted jacket and matching trousers constitute a mans suit, while

24、 a fitted jacket and matching skirt constitute a womans suit. A collared shirt and a necktie are integral parts of the mans outfit, while stockings and high-heeled shoes complete the womans. 3Military personnel are easy to identify by their uniforms. The same is true for civil emergency personnel li

25、ke police officers and firefighters. In certain contexts, special clothing is worn to differentiate not only the occupation of people, but also their authority. For example, the chefs tall white hat indicates his job and that hes in charge in the restaurants kitchen. 4 For example, Scotsmen were dis
