Чтобы понять человека из другой страны недостаточно знать его родной язык, нужно хотя бы немного приобщиться к истории его страны и ее культуре.  В истории человечества феномену праздника принадлежит особая роль, ведь празднество - это важная изначальная форма человеческой культуры. В Великобритании существуют множество официальных и неофициальных праздников. Среди них есть как международные праздники, отмечаемые людьми по всему свету, так и сугубо национальные, являющимися актуальными лишь для британцев. Многие из них связаны с монархической и христианской традицией, некоторые имеют языческое происхождение, другие отмечаются как памятные даты. Одной из причин, по которой мы празднуем какие- либо события, заключается в то, чтобы вспомнить наших предков и черты прошлых времен. Празднуя что-либо мы показываем свое уважение к людям, игравшим роль в историческом процессе страны. Мы обогащаем наши знания, узнаем много нового из истории и культуры страны.
