Good afternoon .

Today I’m going to talk to you about an important festival in my country, Russia. In late Winter early Spring, we celebrate Maslenitsa. Maslenitsa lasts one week. Before the festival, the whole family makes some preparations. We cook pancakes (blini). On the day we visit relatives and have festive meals. On Maslenitsa people burn a scarecrow, dance, sledge, do horse sleigh riding and fistfights. Everybody has a great funny time and enjoys the day.

Thank you for listening. Do you have any questions?
