Read a speech about Maslenitsa Festival and put the topics in the correct order.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Today, I'm going to talk to you about an important festival in my country.

It's Maslenitsa Festival. It's a traditional Russian festival that marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It is celebrated for a week in February or March.

The festival is also known as Pancake Week because people cook and make a lot of pancakes during this time. In fact, pancakes are the main symbol of the festival and are believed to represent the sun, which is returning after a long winter.

Burning a Maslenitsa doll is the most important event during Maslenitsa Festival. A Maslenitsa doll is made from straw and dressed in traditional clothing. People burn it on the last day of the festival to symbolise the end of winter.

Thank you for your attention and time.
