What is the Japanese summer festival like?

ocal governments across Japan plan summer festivals. These festivals are held in elementary schools and town squares, attracting many children, adults, and the elderly who come together to enjoy the celebrations. There is also a festival in my area today, and I am helping out by selling cotton candy. My son is a member of Boy Scout Troop in Yokohama, and as his parent, I volunteer as a leader for the Boy Scouts. The cotton candy sales are part of the Boy Scouts' booth, and the proceeds go towards funding their activities.

1. Correct spelling.
2. Excellent work, you can also say ''hosted''
3. Excellent work, you can also say ''numerous''
4. You're introducing a specific, well-known noun, hence use the definite article here.
It's great to hear that everyone is cooperating to hold the festival. How does the Boy Scout Troop choose their booth?

The booth location is decided randomly each year, probably through a lottery, though I'm not very sure about the details. We've been selling cotton candy every year recently. In the past, we used to make and sell dishes like stew and curry, but now it's mainly cotton candy. It's likely because it's easier to prepare and more convenient.There might have been opinions in the past that dishes like stew and curry were too hot to sell considering Japan's summer climate.

Excellent work, you can use these alternatives;
1. ''determined''
2. ''quite certain''
3. ''probably''
I see what you mean. Do the parents organize it? How about considering the health benefits of the items that are sold?

Yes, the parents handle it. The children don't get involved in this kind of fundraising. Since it's a festival, I don't think healthy items would sell very well.

Would you mind explaining what happens at the festival? Do school students wear school uniforms on the day?

There are many food stalls, and visitors can enjoy a variety of meals. In the center, there's a stage for taiko drum performances and bon odori (traditional dance). Students don't need to wear uniforms since it's not a school event.

The Japanese summer festivals sound lively and vibrant! It must be fun to see the different food stalls and performances. Is there a particular aspect of the festival or a specific performance that you enjoy the most? And how does your son feel about participating in the Boy Scouts' booth?

The Japanese summer festivals are indeed lively and vibrant! It's always fun to see the various food stalls and performances. I enjoy the traditional dances and music the most; they really bring out the festive spirit. My son loves participating in the Boy Scouts' booth. He enjoys helping out and feels proud to contribute to the event.
