These are usually filled with sweet paste, fruits and nuts. The round shape of the rice balls symbolises family unity, luck and happiness. The Chinese people also celebrate by watching lion dances, people walking on stilts, dragon dances, fireworks and parades. The Yuan Xiao Festival is also known as the Lantern Festival. During the festival, Chinese people decorate their houses with lanterns of various shapes and sizes. The colour of the lanterns is usually red.

For each question, choose the correct answer A, B or C. A Gondola The gondola is a traditional rowing boat that can be found in the canals of Venice, Italy. It is narrow, long and has a flat bottom. It can carry from two to six passengers at one time. The gondola is steered by a person called a gondolier with the help of an oar. Centuries ago, it used to be the main means of transportation in Italy. However, today they are more popular as a tourist attraction. Tourists ride the gondolas to go from one city to another. B Tuk-tuk Tuk-tuks are motorised rickshaws with three wheels. They are often used as taxis in Thailand, especially in the city of Bangkok. The name ‘tuk-tuk’ comes from the noisy sounds that the engines make. There are many varieties of tuk-tuks. Most drivers will decorate their tuk-tuks with loud sound systems and neon lights to grab customers’ attention. Tuk-tuks can be more expensive than regular taxis but they are a great way to go sightseeing around the city. C Norry The norry or Nori is a bamboo train in the jungles of Cambodia. It can move at a speed of 50km/h. It is made up of an engine and a bamboo board with wheels. There is also a wooden pole which acts as a brake and also an accelerator. The most unique thing about riding the norry is that passengers and drivers have to dismantle the train if another train is coming from the other side. This is because there is only a single track. Riding the norry is dangerous but locals like it because it is cheap, fast and frequent.
