Unit 5 test Reading 11 Read the text. What evidence is there in the text that Diwali is a festival with a moral message? (2 marks) _______________________________________ _______________________________________ My Culture – An Essay on the Festival of Diwali by Deepa Singh Diwali, or the festival of lights, is one of the most important festivals in my culture. It is a family and community celebration. There is a lot of interaction between family members during Diwali. The word means ‘rows of lighted lamps’. Hindus and Sikhs decorate their shops and homes with small oil lamps or candles. I’m Hindu, and I was named after the festival. Deepa means ‘lamp’. The festival is celebrated in autumn each year. It lasts five days and it starts with people lighting their oil lamps for the goddess Lakshmi so that she will come into peoples’ homes and bring wealth. The actual day of Diwali is on the third day of the festival. This is when there is a new moon and the moon appears in a crescent shape. People usually clean their homes. They also leave their doors and windows open as a form of politeness to the Goddess Lakshmi so that she can come inside their homes. They draw colourful patterns and shapes around their homes to welcome the gods – these are called rangoli . Diwali is the biggest shopping period in India. People buy new clothes and the right etiquette is to give gifts to friends and family as a way of showing appreciation for each other. These are usually dried fruits and sweets. During Diwali, families get together for a meal. There is also a strong tradition of giving food to the poor during Diwali. There is also a huge firework display that people attend. Stick dancing is another Diwali tradition. The dancers hold sticks and perform a dance for an audience.
In Bengal, the festival celebrates the goddess Kali. During Diwali children are told these ancient stories by their parents to educate them about right and wrong. Diwali is celebrated by Indians all over the world, including in Britain. Visitors to British cities during Diwali might see vivid firework displays and street parties. If you stop to ask what is going on you will be welcomed and asked to join the celebration! Diwali is a beautiful, meaningful festival. I’m very proud and happy to celebrate it with my family every year. 12 Read the text again. Then answer the questions. Write complete sentences.
