плиииз There are fewer public holidays in Great Britain than in other European countries. This holidays which are establish by the Parliament. They are days on which
banks close as well as most of the offices and shops are closed and business is suspended.
Seven times a year the offices and banks in England are closed and no one works in them on these days. These public holidays are known as Bank Holidays. No
business houses and factories are open on these days.
Bank holidays in England are New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day (first Monday in May), Spring Holiday (last Monday in May), Summer Holiday
(fourth Monday in August), Christmas Day, and Boxing Day (December 26).
On Bank Holidays Londoners like to go out of the city into the open air. They go to the seaside or to one of the big parks. Many families take a basket and put
their lunch or tea in it. They will sit on the grass under a tree, have their meal in the open air. Good weather is very important. A wet Bank Holiday gives little pleasure.
Londoners often visit the Zoo where they can see many interesting animals from different countries. But many of them go with their families to Hampstead Heath.
This is a large piece of open land near London where there iş a fair on some of the Bank Holidays. Then are a lot of interesting things for children and young people at
these fairs—merry-go-rounds, swings and many little shops which sell pa per hats with the words ";Kiss Me Quick";, coloured balloons, cake and sweets.
An important moment at the fair is the coming of the Pearly King and Queens. These are men and women who have sewed pearl button all over their dresses and suits,
And their hats also have many pear buttons over them. Those people who have the most beautiful costumes are named Pearly King and Queen for one year.
Besides public holidays, there are some special festivals in Great Britain. One of them takes place on the 5th of November. On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried
to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. He didn't succeed. The King's men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head.
Since that day the British celebrate the 5th of November. They burn a dummy, made of straw and old clothes, in a bonfire and let off fireworks. This dummy is called a
"guy" (like Guy Fawkes).
