Band 5+: Describe a local tradition or festival in your country that is becoming less common. You should say: - What the tradition or festival is - How it was celebrated in the past - Why people are doing it less often now And explain whether you think it is important to preserve it.

So I'm going to talk about a tradition that is slowly disappearing in my culture, which is, you know, just hosting big events and celebrating holidays. Unfortunately, right now a lot of families are just celebrating holidays in general or religious holidays alone or with a number of family members, but in the past it was cultural to host these massive huge events, you know, where the family would gather in one place and, you know, they would either have dinner or, you know, dance and celebrate. But I think the reason, what I think the main reason for, you know, for the decline of this phenomenon is because of inflation, because of high prices, and many people don't have the ability anymore to host these events or, you know, pay much money for them. So yeah, that's probably the reason why.
