VSTEP B1, B2, C1 Speaking Part 2: Solution Discussion

- Question:

Your town is planning a new annual holiday event. Would you suggest a parade, a fireworks display, or a food festival?

- Answer:

I would recommend a food festival for our town's new annual holiday event. Food has the unique power to bring people together, and a food festival would not only provide entertainment but also promote local businesses and culinary traditions.

While a parade can be visually stimulating, it is primarily a spectator event and may not provide the same level of engagement as a food festival. Similarly, a fireworks display, although impressive, is relatively short-lived and does not offer the opportunity for community interaction and participation.

Conversely, a food festival encourages communal participation and can cater to a broad range of tastes. It can involve local restaurants, caterers, and home cooks, thereby promoting local businesses and fostering a sense of community. Additionally, food festivals can often be enjoyed by people of all ages, making it an inclusive event.

Given these points, a food festival can celebrate our town's culinary diversity, boost the local economy, and bring residents together, making it an ideal choice for the annual holiday event.
