Six Thinking Hats.
I want you to express your opinion from the six position.
The White Hat calls for information known or needed. "The facts, just the facts."
The Yellow Hat symbolizes brightness and optimism.
The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates.
The Green Hat focuses on creativity; the possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas.
The Blue Hat is used to manage the thinking process. It's the control mechanism that ensures the Six Thinking Hats guidelines are observed. Cambridge Audio CD

About holidays.
S: Each country has its own customs and holidays. To my mind, we must know the culture , the holidays of other countries and of course respect them because we live on one and the same planet.
Nurai: What kind of holidays do you know?
S: Public, national, religious, professional and family.
Nurai: Why do English name public holidays as bank one?
S:Public holidays in G.B. are called bank holidays because the banks, offices and shops are closed.
Nurai: What is your favourite family holiday and how do you celebrate it?
