7、h is a French expression. It means Fat Tuesday, when you could eat and drink you wanted, before giving up meat before Easter. Interviewer: So is it still a one-day festival?

8、hat are the origin of Mardi Gras? Caitlin: It was brought to the States by the French, at the beginning of the 18th century, I think. Interviewer: And whats the high spot of the festival?

9、ial food?Caitlin: Well, theres King Cake, which is a cake for the Carnival King.Interviewer: Is it very special?Caitlin: Well, funnily enough, it isnt.

10、chocolate! But hidden inside the cake theres a plastic baby.Interviewer: Which you can eat?Caitlin: No, no.

11、 :Cameron, where is Notting Hill? Cameron: Its a district of London, just west of Hyde Park. Interviewer: And its famous for its carnival? Cameron: Thats right. Interviewer: When is it?

12、y isnt it in February, like a traditional carnival? Cameron: Well in Britain a lot of carnivals are held in the summer, I suppose because the weathers better. Interviewer: What are the origins of the carnival? Cameron: It isnt very old. After the Second World War a lot of people from Jamaica and oth

13、er countries in the Caribbean, which used to be British colonies, came to London looking for work. But there wasnt a carnival in London, the only festival was Christmas. But in Jamaica carnival is the most important festival. And Jamaicans living here really felt the need for a carnival. So in the 1

14、960s they had the first one. My grandfather was there! It was very small at first, but it grew, and now there are usually more than a million people. Interviewer: What about food? Is there a special dish people eat? Cameron: Not really theres lots of very good Jamaican food, though, which you can bu

15、y in the street. The traditional food is chicken with rice and peas, Jamaican style we eat a lot of that. I prefer it to more spicy food because its simple. Interview 3 Interviewer: People always say Carnival in Rio is special. Maria, youre from Rio, can you tell us why? Maria: I think its because c

16、arnival is in our blood! Brazilians love . Everybody, I mean, everybody, takes part. Interviewer: When is it? Maria: Its at the end of the summer, in FebruaryInterviewer: And it lasts for? Maria: It lasts for five days, from Thursday to Tuesday. Interviewer: What are the origins of Carnival in Rio?

17、Maria: Well, carnival was brought to Brazil by the Portuguese, but carnival as we know it today, with the street parades, dates back to 1850. Interviewer: Whats the high spot of the festival? Maria: I think its got to be the samba school parades. The samba, you know, is the typical Brazilian dance,

18、whose origins go back to Africa. There are a lot of samba schools in the town, and during carnival there is a competition between them. Its really exciting. Interviewer: Is there a special carnival dish? Maria: The typical food is called Feijoada, which is basically pork with beans and garlic . I re

19、ally like it. Its rather rich and very tasty. You can wash it down with beer, or an alcoholic fruit juice called batidas, or beer, if you prefer, and then . Interviewer: And then . Maria: Well, then people often like to walk it off on the beach. Interviewer: Of course, I was forgetting, Rio is a cit
