Hi Yasmin. It is Dragon Boat Festival time in China. We remember our great poet Qyun in this festival.

We celebrate this festival for three days. It's a national festival.

We Zongzi in this festival. It's a traditional Chinese food. We decorate our doors with plants.

The Dragon Boat Race is my favorite tradition. In this race there are teams. Their boats look like Chinese dragons and they race.

It's fantastic. Anyway, I am making and serving Zongzi at the festival. I think I can collect donations this way.

After that, they visit their neighbors and relatives. They serve candies, chocolate and desserts to them.

Yasamin's favorite dessert is Baklava. Her relatives also give her pocket money.

Everyone is happy that day. It's great. Yasamin loves Ramadan feast.

Yasamin calls Georgia on her mobile phone.

Hi, Georgia. How are you?

I'm fine. And you? I'm fine too. Are you collecting donations? Yes. Ramadan feast is great. Everyone is so helpful. What about you?

I can collect donations at Palio horse race. It's an important event in Sienna. Oh, tell me about it.

It is a very special event. It takes place twice a year on 2nd July and 16th August. 10 horses race. It's really exciting to watch them.

Hi Wang Shu. First of all, Dragon Boat Festival sounds interesting. Cooking traditional Chinese food in that festival is a good idea. Georgia has a good idea too.

She says she can help tourists at Palio horse race in Italy. Just like Georgia, I want to collect donations too. I'm waiting for Ramadan because people are really helpful in Ramadan.

See you in September. On the same day, Yasamin text Colin. Hi Colin. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? Very well. Thank you. I've got a letter from Wang Shu. We are collecting donations. What about you?

Hello Yasamin. How are you? I'm great because it's the White Nights Festival time in Russia. Our country is in the north and in summer the sun doesn't go down.

Can you believe it? It doesn't get dark at night and we celebrate this here in St. Petersburg. We have parties in the streets and we watch the fireworks.

Actors were historical costumes. It's awesome. I'm wearing a costume now. I can dance and sing for people and I can collect donations.

Miss you, Varvara. A few weeks later, Yasamin looks at Tim's Facebook page. She gets excited.

Collecting donations at Notting Hill Carnival. This Carnival is great. The parade is fantastic. Everyone wears crazy costumes and hats.

The music is very good and everybody dances. There's Carnival Queen Beauty Contest too. I make parade hats and sell them for one silver coin. Would you like to buy one? I want to donate the money for my friend's education.

What do people wear at the carnival? They wear crazy costumes. Is there a beauty contest? Yes there is.

How is the music? It is very good. Sounds great. How much is one hat? It's one silver coin. I want to buy a hat. You say it's a donation so I'd like to pay six silver coins.

Great. That's very kind of you, Bella. Tim can get five extra silver coins, but he must find Bella at the parade and he must give her the hat. Gee. Look at Bella's messages and choose the correct numbers.

The street number is 222. Tim goes to the street, but at that moment Bella sends a new SMS. Oh, sorry Tim. I'm very hungry. So I'm going to a restaurant. The building number is 108.

Tim goes to the restaurant, but Bella isn't there. He sends an SMS to her.

I'm at the restaurant. Where are you, Bella? Oh, I'm very sorry Tim. My friends are here and they want to see my house. Would you like to come?

Go straight ahead and take the second turn. It's the blue apartment on the left to go inside the building and to the password. It's 753.

Tim writes the password, but the door doesn't open. It says wrong password. Tim sends an SMS to Bella once again.

Oh, it's mindful. The password isn't 753. It's 553.

Tim gets very angry. Is this a joke? Is she having fun with me, he thinks? He enters the password and this time the door opens. He goes in and climbs the stairs. Bella opens the door. He is angry, but he tries to smile. Bella gets very happy when she sees the hat in Tim's hand.

Oh, here is my hat. Thank you. She takes the hat and shows it to her friends. They all like it. We are having a party. Come on, dance with us.

I'm sorry, but I can't. I must go now. Can I take my silver coins? Sure, the coins are in my penny bank.

Bella gives Tim a penny bank. But I can't open it. I need a password for it. Yes, the password is 1000.

Tim opens a penny bank and he finds 7 silver coins in it. Take them all. Tim gets so happy, he thinks Bella and leaves. He has got 7 silver coins. On his way home, he has got 7 silver coins.

He sends an SMS to Yasamin. I think Arda can come to Magnific next year. Let's count our gold coins.
