Whenever we talk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like
robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the
festivals of lights: Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of
1
gifts!
Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December.
On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah and say a prayer each night. We also say a
special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “ hot and cold ” for
our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gifts, our parents say “hot” and when we walk
further away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like
about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days,
and we sometimes visit other relatives.
Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/November).
To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the
goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India,
people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas.
My family just places a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We
often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.
Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both
have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents
for me!
4. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?
A. Because he lives in a rich family.
B. Because he lives in two different countries.
C. Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.
D. Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.
5. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A kind of Hanukkah game.
C. A can of festival drink.
A. share the same history and culture
C. are both related to the legend of lights

Hello London Foodies!
I’m kicking off this week’s blog by talking about a fantastic new Turkish restaurant in Soho called
Moda. I can’t remember ever eating better dolma or hummus --- it was so delicious! The chef insists that
fruit and vegetables are brought over every day from Turkey --- and from nowhere else. He may be a
perfectionist, but it was so delicious that I can’t complain. Moda isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
And I’ve got great news for you. When I told him that I write a food blog, he said he’d give all my
readers a 10% discount! Just mention this blog when you book.
A very different restaurant, where I had lunch last Monday, is Chez Fitz. Situated near Leicester
Square, its main selling point is that its food is all locally sourced (within 30 kilometers of the restaurant).
My friends and I were completely surprised --- we had no idea that so much could be grown so close to
