英语口语话题Topic训练：圣诞节是Holiday 还是festival
我们都会说Merry Christmas，我们也说Spring Festival，但是，Christmas是一个holiday还是一个festival呢？
我们可以说Christmas is both a holiday and a festival.
注意，我们用英语口语训练的方式告诉别人holiday和festival的不同：
1 .Holiday
When we say a holiday, we usually mean a public holiday(公共假日). We mean it is a time of rest at home. We don't go to work, we don't go to school. So:
Saturday is a holiday. Sunday is a holiday
这是holiday(public holiday)的最好例子。
从a rest at home角度，我们可以说Christmas is also a holiday.Right?
2. Festival.
When we say festival, we also mean a time of rest at home. No work.No school classes.
从这个角度看，Christmas is a festival,too.
