III- Reading ( 8 Marks)
Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
Everyone loves a wedding, but people celebrate weddings in a thousand different ways. Here are
some of the most interesting customs.
Before the wedding: In the Philippines, the bride and her assistants must all wear the same
dresses. They do this to stop bad spirits from finding the bride and carrying her away.
At the wedding: A groom in Spain gives his bride her wedding ring and then a little money in
order to show that he will work hard for everything they need.
At the wedding party: In many countries, the bride and groom both hold the knife in order to cut
the wedding cake together. This shows that they will be a good team. In Scotland, people only eat
half of the cake at the wedding. They keep the other to eat when the first child arrives.
After the wedding: In Palestine, the bride sticks some bread dough to the front door of her new
home. This is to show that she and her husband will stay together all their lives. Round the world,
wedding customs are very different, but they are all for the same purpose: to put a man and a woman
on the road to a happy future together as husband and wife.
