Venice Carnival

Sophia is an expert on

• Lent

• the Rio Carnival

• the history of Venice

When the interviewer visited the Venice arnival he was mostly impressed by

• the costumes

• the party atmosphere

• its history and traditions

According to Sophia, during carnival people

• enjoy testing on meat, fish and dairy products

• try to be pure and devout

• should give up eating various foods

The Vanice Carnival stopped entirely in

• the 18th century

• the 20th century

• 1979

Wearing masks at carnival first came about so that people

• could gossip easily

• of all classes could mix

• wouldn't recognise each other

Sophia thinks that carnival didn't develop in Britain as a festival because

• of the weather conditions in Britain

• British people don't like

  colourful street parades

• of the Notting Hill carnival in summer
