Task Description
Basic understanding with some scrambled sentences as well. A few multiple choice questions. The vocabulary is not very difficult. There is also a version in American English, that is a little bit more difficult to grasp.
Video details
Scene summary
Just a short sequence about how it all came about. The explanation is not very thorough but it is still enough. Note that there is also an American version that contradicts the English one as to the origins of the celebration.
