Easter is on different Sunday each year, but it is always in March or April. Easter is not a national holiday. It is a religious holiday for Christians. For many people, Easter celebrates the beginning of spring.

The English word for Easter comes from the old English word Eastre. Eastre was the name of the goddess of spring and light. In the spring, flowers bloom and trees become green. The earth wears “new clothes”. Many people wear new clothes on Easter Sunday, too.

Eggs and rabits are new signs of spring and new life. American children believe in an imaginary rabit, the Easter Bunny. The night before Easter, the Easter Bunny visits many homes. He brings children baskets with eggs and candy. Some Easter eggs are hard-boiled eggs in different colors. Other eggs are chocolate. The Easter Bunny hides eggs in the house or outside in the yard. On Easter morning, children look for eggs from the Easter Bunny.

Population problems are different in different parts of the world. For example, in many European countries, the population is getting older. The birth rate is low because many young people have only one child or none at all. After retirement, they feel lonely and often very poor because they don’t save enough money.

Write (T)for true or(F) for false statement. I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig and Halle Berry. Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction, and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino Royale. I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond. Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman, but her other films are excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character Storm, who has the ability to change the weather. Daniel Craig and Halle Berry are both entertaining and talented actors. I love watching their films.
